Fidel, everyone’s favorite dictator, had to undergo surgery for “stress” and temporarily reliquished his powers to Raul, the brother of Fidel. Fidel is getting old. Even his younger brother Raul is 75. Is this a sign that the regime’s end could be near? Raul talks a good totalitarian game, but will he play like Castro.
In [...]
I picked this story up on Drudge today, and personally think something’s fishy. Over the weekend, Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts referred to the Big Dig as a “tar baby” that he didn’t want to go near. His meaning of “tar baby” was a sticky mess he didn’t want to go near. Apparently, “tar baby” [...]
This picture just says everything about the fighting in the Mideast right now and the broader War on Terror. Instead of Palestine, you could put Hezbollah, or Saddam, or the Taliban, or Bin Ladin. Instead of Israel you could put any of the civilized nations of the world.
Though I have seen this all over the [...]
Last Friday, Mike, our friend Chris, and myself went to the Sean Hannity Freedom Concert, sponsored by the Freedom Alliance. The Freedom Alliance, among other things, raises money for a college fund for the children who lost a parent fighting in the War on Terror. It was founded by American hero and all around good [...]
Hezbollah’s “parliamentary mouthpiece” has rejected Condi’s plan for a cessasion of violence in the Mideast.
Condi wants two things:
Return the captives and let the Lebonese Army in with peacekeepers
Get Hezbollah’s militia at least 30 kilometers from the Israeli border
The terrorists want:
ceasefire first
then they’ll leave their troops and obstruct further
In my opinion, anyone who wants to solve [...]
William F. Buckley, Jr., considered the father of modern conservatism by many, just gave an interview (…wait for it…) to CBS. Of course, they focused primarily on Buckley’s view of Bush and Iraq, since Buckley thinks Bush’s legacy on Iraq is fuzzy.
My point is this: just like most Libs, the “paleocons” don’t get it. We [...]
Linc Chafee is now trailing Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse in the latest Rasmussen poll by roughly 5 points. Unfortunately, Laffey trails by a considerably large margin in the People’s Republic when running against Whitehouse. So it looks like RI is probably going to be a Democrat pick-up this November. That’s the bad news. The good news [...]
By way of Mrs. Sal:
The bill’s a textbook example of special interest pork barrel politics at
work, and I have no choice but to veto it.
– President Ronald Reagan, on the original funding for the Big Dig.
And now we see what happens when Liberals get their way.
Scientists are going to spend two years trying to decode the DNA of homo sapiens neanderthalenis, a close relative of ours. But, we already know a number of things about Neanderthals– they were mostly from France and they went extinct!
True as that may be, they also had a bigger brain than ours, had rudimentary language [...]
Bush vetoed his first bill today, establishing a record few future Presidents are ever apt to achieve– going roughly 5 1/2 years into one’s administration without vetoing a single bill. Of course, he should have vetoed many crazy spending bills put before him, but he is ideologically and philosophically constrained to all that “new tone” [...]
Bush is slated to meet with the NAA”L”CP at their upcoming meeting. Some people may have forgotten the NAALCP’s position on James Byrd, back in the 2000 Election campaign, for which they have never apologized. Bush boycotted the organization (an organization, I believe, that should lose its tax-exempt status because of its overt partisanship) because [...]
We are in the midst of the next World War. Newt calls it WWIII, Norman Podhoretz calls it WWIV (the Cold War being WWIII). Regardless of what you call it, it began in 1979 with the Iyatolla’s taking over of Iran and the hostages, escalated with Al Qaida in the 90s, and went to a [...]
The Big Dig. The epitome of Bay State inadequacy, largess, and taxpayer fleecing. The saga continues. How long did it take to complete? How many billions of dollars did the cost run over its original estimates? How many fatcats got fatter as a result? How many more people have to die because of this ineptness? [...]
That’s kind of a bold statement, but the evidence piles up every day that passes in this latest Mideast Crisis.
Newt Gingrich on “Hannity and Colmes” last night made a great point, as he usually does. He said that the world needs to wake up from the notion that a “balanced” response is one where one [...]
Valerie Wilson/Plame (or whatever name can better keep her in the headlines) has decided that she is going to sue the Veep, etc. That’s one guaranteed way to help Republicans in the Fall for the following reason. The purpose of her nonsense lawsuit is essentially to just smear Republicans during the coming campaign season. Yet, [...]
It may sound funny, but firebrand UN watchdog, US Ambassador John Bolton has finally cast a veto on a UN Security Council resolution after a year at the UN! It deals with international condemnation of the Israeli incursion in to Gaza to fetch their kidnapped soldier. GB abstained with three other nations, but it was [...]
My favorite ex-totalitarian communist dictator, Gorby, is at it again. This time he’s accusing America of having a hubristic “winner’s complex” after the Cold War ended, which continues as the USA oversees the world as its only superpower. Apparently, according to Gorby, this “disease” is more dangerous than AIDS! Of course, I only ask this [...]
I support Israel in their get-tough approach to her terrorist-supporting neighbors infultrating and violating her sovereignty. If Hezbollah is hiding in Lebanon trying to bait the Israelis into an unfair prisoner swap, then I don’t blame Israel for sending in the tanks to remind Lebanon’s leaders that they cannot support terrorist blackmail. Also, if Syria’s [...]
Islamic terrorists attacked India today by exploding a series of bombs on the public transportation system, murdering over 160 people in the process. President Bush condemned this attack and reiterated the need to present a united front against terrorism.
It is a shame that the world was once again reminded of the enemy we face. Unfortunately, [...]
Every 20 years or so, our liberal friends have to relearn the same lesson: cutting taxes actually increases revenue to the federal government. Bush schooled them again today.
However, the deficit still exists– we are fighting a war on three fronts (Afghanistan, Iraq, and through clandestine and more direct intelligence gathering/sharing worldwide), dealing with inflationary pressure [...]
Every poll under the sun has generally unfavorable ratings of She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named for a host of reasons. You love her… or you loathe her. Yet, even in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts Arizona Senator John McCain beats her (be it within the margin of error)! Of course, I’m not a big McCain fan either, but She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named [...]
This is what a journalistic coward might sound like: reactionary, shallow, scared, confused but obvoiusly not adequately informed either, not offering solutions only heightening fear, blames the democratic process for “failing”, etc.

The 2006 FIFA World Cup Championship has just finished with Italy defeating France 5-3 in the penalty kick phase of overtime. They battled to a 1-1 tie in regulation, played two overtimes, and ultimately ended up with an Italian victory at the end. Great game all around– good soccer, some drama, decent refs, play until [...]
During a recent campaign stop, the least intelligent United States Senator (diagnosed as such by Mark Levin) and probable 2008 Presidential candidate Joe Biden displayed his political prowess and trademark ignorance by insulting immigrants from India. While pandering for Indian support, Biden cited 7-11 and Dunkin’ Donuts as Indian contributions to American society. That ain’t [...]
The obsessively addicting reality show “Big Brother” starts its seventh season tonight @ 8pm on CBS with Big Brother All-Stars. Perhaps not as racy or raunchy as its Australian version, which has recently stirred up some controversy, this show brings back many of the old season’s favorites, including Janelle (see below). Beautiful, smart, sassy– the [...]
A recent Rasmussen poll has 77% of people agreeing with the notion that a photo ID should be used in order to cast a ballot at a polling station. Sixty-eight percent also said that the ballots should be in English only. Funny, though, the Democrats and self-identified liberals are less likely to support the voter [...]
Our President, George W. Bush, turns 60 today. We at the Axis of Right extend our deepest regards to our 43rd President. He is perhaps the healthiest President we have ever had, as the article fleshes out those details. It also shows to our Moonbat friends that, in fact, Dubya is a human, probably born [...]
On what is usually a slow news day, there are quite a few headlines today that could be far-reaching in their impact on world events. Here’s a sampling:
North Korea launches long-range missile: After repeatedly being warned not to, North Korea test-launched several missiles today, including the Taepodong II, which has the capability of reaching the [...]
Happy Birthday America from the Axis of Right! To paraphrase Ronald the Great, “… to a Republican, everyday is like the Fourth of July…”
Most people feel like this today:
Or maybe:
Our liberal friends probably feel more like this:
Tsk, tsk… Can’t they chill out for one day! Or maybe, in a popular online picture, this sums it [...]
I think this story will be history before the fireworks begin.
