Another Flip-Flopping Democrat

January 30th, 2007 · Comments Off

Hat tip to Brutally Honest: Back on January 13th, 2006, according to Democracy Now, we learn that Iran threatened to halt snap inspections of its nuclear sites by the United Nations if its nuclear program is referred to the Security Council. Senator John Kerry (D-MA) said, “Ultimately if we are not able to find any [...]

Why Doesn’t The Leftist Media Report Stories Like This?

January 29th, 2007 · Comments Off

Our own media prefer to show nothing but death and destruction. They try to paint US servicemen and women in the worst possible light. They try to show this conflict as nothing more that Bush’s folly. They refuse to show what this war is really about.

Sign The Pledge

January 26th, 2007 · 4 Comments

To turn tail and run away, to engage in a “phased re-deployment” would leave a weak Iraq police and military in the hands of well-armed vicious “insurgents” that would re-establish a tyranny.

The Leftist LA Times Attempts Humor … And Fails Miserably

January 26th, 2007 · Comments Off

I don’t know what either the LA Times or editorial pages supervisor Paul Whitefield were thinking. Is this supposed to be satire? It reads as just being pathetic or offensive. Listening to President Bush’s speech on Iraq earlier this month, my first thought was: “Where the heck are we going to get 21,500 more soldiers [...]

Tom Cruise To Be Worshipped?

January 25th, 2007 · Comments Off

Can Tom Cruise‘s life get more strange? From The Sun Online: Tom Cruise is the new “Christ” of Scientology, according to leaders of the cult-like religion. The “Mission: Impossible” star has been told he has been “chosen” to spread the word of his faith throughout the world. And leader David Miscavige believes that in future, [...]

More On Comrade Hillary

January 25th, 2007 · Comments Off

From Neal Boortz: Hillary tried to implement a health care plan that would have made it a crime for you to use your own dollars to hire your own doctor. Now think about that for a moment. How much else do you need to know? She actually wanted to make it a crime for you [...]

More On Comrade Hillary

January 24th, 2007 · Comments Off

From NewsBusters: But have a look at the video of her announcement. Rather than her “let’s chat” rap, please focus on the background. Look out the door. Presumably the announcement was shot in one of Hillary’s homes: Chappaqua or Georgetown. Now I know it’s been a mild winter, but even so, surely the leaves are [...]

Another “We Support The Troops” Lie

January 23rd, 2007 · 1 Comment

“We would NEVER ship to Iraq. If you were sensible, you and your troops would pull out of Iraq” is heard coming from Faisal Khetani’s website to one of our soldiers. Imagine that, an Arabic name. And yes, Khetani is a “peace loving” Muslim.

More On Comrade Hillary

January 23rd, 2007 · Comments Off

From Neal Boortz: Hillary Clinton is vicious. There is absolutely nothing that she won’t do to gain the political power she has been coveting for most of her life. She is a cold-blooded politician who will take no prisoners in her quest for the presidency. Hillary Clinton heads the list of those who think that [...]

The Anniversary Of A Milestone

On January 22, 1973, 34 years ago today, the US Supreme Court decided “Roe v. Wade”. The central holding of Roe v. Wade was that abortions are permissible for any reason a woman chooses, up until the “point at which the fetus becomes ‘viable,’ that is, potentially able to live outside the mother’s womb, albeit [...]

This Is What The Left Considers “Art”

January 22nd, 2007 · Comments Off

Trackposted to Pirate’s Cove, The Bullwinkle Blog, and basil’s blog, thanks to Linkfest Haven Deluxe. From the LA Times via the Sun-Sentinel: “Zoo” is a documentary about what director Robinson Devor accurately characterizes as “the last taboo, on the boundary of something comprehensible.” But remarkably, an elegant, eerily lyrical film has resulted. OK, you have [...]
