The Need To Call Out The Lunatics Has Never Been Stronger…

…and that’s a bipartisan statement.  In the wake of the second and probably final defeat of the immigration bill, it’s worth reflecting on the shameful tactics used, mostly by opponents of the bill, including ludicrous assertions that Bush was trying to give up sovereignty of this country to Mexico, and the tried and true “I […]

Jimmy Carter, FOE (Friend Of Extremists)

Everybody sing - all together now!
ALL WE ARE SAYING IS GIVE ISLAMIC EXTREMISM A CHANCE!
The most disgraceful of former presidents sinks even lower:

The United States, Israel and the European Union must end their policy of favoring Fatah over Hamas, or they will doom the Palestinian people to deepening conflict between the rival movements, former US […]

We’ll Mark You Down As “Not A Fan”

George Will on Harry Reid’s transparently phony excuse for pulling the immigration bill:
Harry Reid, the Senate’s majority leader and resident Uriah Heep, affected ‘umble and syrupy sadness about the Senate’s inability to pass the immigration bill that he pulled from the floor last Thursday evening for a transparently meretricious reason. Saying the Senate’s time was […]

A Most Unwelcome Return…And A Very Welcome Departure

He’s back, unfortunately:
Moqtada al-Sadr is back. After months away from the public eye, the young firebrand participated in Friday prayers at a mosque in Kufa, Iraq.
“No, no to the unjust! No, no to America! No, no to colonialism! No, no to Israel! No, no to Satan,” he said, according to AFP.
Sadr renewed his demand […]

The Little Libertarian

Ron Paul’s reading list is as pathetic as his presidential campaign - how do we know this? Because he gave us a preview as he attempted to ’school’ the public figure who was on the spot at the heart of Ground Zero on the finer points of terrorism by recommending that he read…wait for it…Chalmers […]

Exploding The “We Overreacted To 9/11″ Myth

Michael Chertoff, the Secretary of Homeland Security, has an absolutely essential piece in today’s Washington Post that takes on the foolish subset of (mostly liberal) Americans who somehow manage to come to the conclusion that there is no need for a war on terror:
As the rubble of the Twin Towers smoldered in 2001, no one […]

Kucinich To File Articles Of Impeachment Against Cheney

Sigh…it’s a good thing there’s not real work to be done in Congress:
Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), the most liberal of the Democratic presidential candidates in the primary field, declared in a letter sent to his Democratic House colleagues this morning that he plans to file articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney.
Kucinich has made […]

Senator Levin: We Will Not Stop Funding The War

A Democratic senator with big-time influence and authority is quite publicly sending a message to Harry Reid and other Democrats who have thrown their lot in with the Nutroots®, and the message is this: we won’t stop funding for the war.
The Senate will not stop paying for the Iraq war nor relent from insisting that […]

Are Pigs Flying?

The Wall Street Journal editorial board praises…Charlie Rangel??!!?? On trade???!!!???
Believe it:
How’s that bipartisan thing going in Washington? Not very well, despite those January promises. But Congress and the White House still have a chance to work together on something important–namely trade. The outcome may hang on who runs trade policy in the House: Charlie Rangel, […]

Rosie O’Donnell Implicity Accuses The Government Of Involvement In 9/11…

…and Popular Mechanics, a magazine that has been exemplary from day one in exploding 9/11 conspiracy myths, puts her right in her very low place.  First, Rosie:

Recently, Rosie O’Donnell, a co-host of ABC talk show The View, made comments on the show that renewed controversy over the collapse of World Trade Center 7.
While saying she […]

Making The Right Enemies

I’ve been very vocal in my praise of Mitch McConnell’s performance in the minority, and this only raises my estimation:
A tip for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell: The liberal blogosphere wants you out in ‘08.
They despise your loyalty to President Bush. They loathe your support of his Iraq war plan and your ability to block […]

Is It Possible To Move So Far Left That You Just Fall Off The Planet?

If you’re in the mood for a case of the giggles, read this hysterical boot-licking missive from Matt Stoller praising the moderation of MoveOn.org…

The Shame Of The Democratic Porkers

Does anyone still remember when Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats swore they were going to clean up the ‘culture of corruption’?  Shame on them, all of them:
The patriotic-sounding bill is dubbed the “U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans’ Health, and Iraq Accountability Act,” but the subtitle could be, “And Don’t Forget Farmers, Shrimpers, NASA […]

The ‘Virtue’ Of Righteous Anger

Good piece by George Will looking at the trendiness of anger, that is to say, the newfound belief that perpetual anger is somehow a sign of character:
Many people who loathe George W. Bush have adopted what Peter Wood describes as “ecstatic anger as a mode of political action.” Anger often is, Wood says, “a spectacle […]

Some ‘Victory’

The Wall Street Journal is right on the money today:
“A Triumph For Pelosi” -
That’s how the Associated Press described yesterday’s vote by the House to demand a U.S. retreat from Iraq, and in the perverse calculus of Capitol Hill we suppose it was. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has demonstrated she can pile on enough pork […]

Bush’s Statement On The House Vote

A clearly angry President George W. Bush laid into the House Democrats today, and he was absolutely right to do [all points of emphasis mine]:
Here in Washington, members of both parties recognize that our most solemn responsibility is to support our troops in the war on terror. Yet, today, a narrow majority in the House of […]

House Vote Will Go Pelosi’s Way, But It Won’t Matter

All indications are that the Democrats will pass their anti-war measure today:

Speaker Nancy Pelosi is headed for a big victory in the vote in the House Friday on $124 billion in funds for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
If, as looked likely Thursday night, she does win, her victory will be largely due to […]

The Shameless Hacks Of The New York Times

Oh, boy, here we go again:
The House of Representatives now has a chance to lead the nation toward a wiser, more responsible Iraq policy. It is scheduled to vote this week on whether to impose benchmarks for much-needed political progress on the Iraqi government — and link them to the continued presence of American combat […]

By Hook Or By Crook

The Democrats resorted to desperate measures to line up the House votes needed for the anti-war spending bill, using strong-arm tactics, stuffing the bill with pork, and engaging in very public wars of words:
One of the Democrats’ chief designated vote counters, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), is actively working against the Iraq war spending bill. The […]

At What Point Does Congress Decide To Actually Do Some Work?

Even as a House panel forwards the latest ‘date certain’ Iraq pullout proposal for a vote by the full House, the Senate has already closed the door:
The Senate on Thursday rejected a Democratic resolution to withdraw most American combat troops from Iraq in 2008, but a similar measure advanced in the House, and Democratic leaders […]
