March 2006

Picture this. A Republican President sends eleven well qualified judicial nominees to the Democrat-controlled Senate for consideration. The Democrat Senate takes no action on these eleven nominees. Oh…wait a minute. Did I say a Democrat Senate?
I meant a Republican Senate. Get your act together Senator Frist. Sometimes it seems like Republicans want to lose in [...]

Many on the left can’t resist comparing our President to Adolph Hitler. Of course they can’t back up this claim with evidence because the comparison is absurd. With this in mind, The Right Place decided to help liberals connect the dots between Bush and Hitler. At least now they can back up their argument.
And they [...]

The United Nations has approved a new human rights council that would still include known rights violators like Cuba, Sudan, Myanmar, Zimbabwe,etc. If you’re going to bother to “reform” a grossly negligent part of the UN, then actually change something that’ll make a real difference! Still irrelevant. Still obstructionist. Still harming the international order by [...]

U.S. Secretary of the Treasury John Snow warned this week that if Congress does not raise the current statutory debt limit of $8.184 trillion, the government will be unable to borrow more money and will not be able to fund the government. Democrats are balking at raising the limit, which is interesting since they passed [...]

Steve Laffey has gotten some props from a Wall Street Journal editorial writer and President of the Club For Growth, Pat Toomey, whose organization is endorsing Laffey. Toomey writes some common sense: Chafee is at best a luke warm centrist Democrat who loves taxes, while Laffey is a more fitting heir to theRepublicans of the [...]

According a recent Rasmussen poll, President Bush’s decline in support in matters of national security has not translated to the Republicans in general. The American people trust Republicans more than Democrats on matters of national security 43% to 38%. This is in contrast to President Bush, who is behind Democrats in congress 41%-40%.
This is good [...]

In a speech designed to attack pro-lifers, former Justice Sandra Day O’Connor warned that criticizing the judiciary could signal the beginning of a dictatorship. It warms my heart to hear O’Connor’s concerns about democratic decisions yielding to the fiats of the few. Her sense of reality is unmatched.
Thank God this woman is off the bench. [...]

I was pleased to learn that my initial reaction to Russ Feingold’s censure resolution against President Bush for using his war powers to fight Al Qaeda doesn’t differ too much from the Great One’s. Politicizing a war against international terrorism where our national survival may be at stake is sick. Democrats deserve to pay the [...]

She-who-must-not-be-named apparently would not win the State of NY in a Presidential race. Although NYers apparently for some reason unbeknownst to me, support her for another Senate term by a substantial margin (57% in favor), she would only get the vote of about 33% of NYers for President. I know it’s early and there are [...]

Today the Dubai Ports deal collapsed, with the management of Dubai Ports World announcing that they would divest the portion of the British Company that currently manages the ports. Democratic Leader Harry Reid immediately called for an up-or-down vote to block the ports from being managed by Dubai Ports World after Dubai Ports world announced [...]

Iraq has enough problems to deal with: from their experiment with democracy to getting the power grids on all day to foreign fighters, Saddam loyalists and Democrats trying to foil them at every turn.
Now Iraq has turned up the heat, by executing 13 people involved with shinanigans to usurp the authori-ty of the democratically elected [...]

Earlier today, Mike posted with a reference to Vice President Cheney giving Iran a warning. Well, U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan rebuked the U.S. Government, and called on the U.S. to “Cool its rhetoric“. This is patently absurd. Iran is a terrorist state that has threatened Israel, ignored the UN, and poses a danger [...]
