The Dems are at it again: trying to have it both ways.  They can’t withdraw or suspend funds without an embarrassing separation of powers argument from which every one of their candidates for President will run.  It’ll also kill them in the polls.  America doesn’t like the Iraq War based on most polls over the [...]

Vice President Dick Cheney was the target of a suicide attack that has presently killed 23 people on his visit to Afghanistan today.  He heard the blast, was sent to a bunker, asked that the wounded and dead be tended to, and still ended up meeting his schedule!  Not bad for a man with a [...]

According to an AP link from Drudge anyway.

With Jimmy Carter by her side, Bill Clinton’s Secretary of State Madeleine Albright claimed that the Iraq war “is going to go down in history as the greatest disaster in American foreign policy.” This woman’s memory must be failing.
I find it hard to believe that Albright could have forgotten the Clinton administration’s agreement which [...]

Former Republican frontrunner John McCain has joined forces with his old friend Ted Kennedy in an attempt to push their illegal alien amnesty bill.  Michael Graham’s take on one aspect of the “improved” legislation is definitely worth a read.
Sometimes I wonder if McCain realizes he is running in the wrong primary.  Well, at least [...]

When Barack Obama supporter David Geffen recently spoke to New York’s worst newspaper, he actually had the audacity to claim that She Who Must Not Be Named is ambitious and polarizing. In addition, he also pointed out that
“Everybody in politics lies, but they [the Clintons] do it with such ease, it’s troubling,”
Apparently, a smear [...]

Italian Prime Minister Prodi has resigned under tense political circumstances.  He defeated Bush’s Italian foreign policy man, Berlusconi, about nine months ago and has had a hard time keeping many elements of his center-left coalition in line on the issue of foreign policy in Afghanistan, amongst other things.  The problem is that the leftists want [...]

The Massachusett’s Governor is a classic example of a liberal elite who thinks that the policies he wants to impose on society do not apply to him.  He has already broken most of his campaign promises, and is raising taxes and asking government agencies to trim their budgets (not something I object to, but there’s [...]

Unlike her husband’s successful campaign of 15 years ago, She Who Must Not Be Named will have to face a new media unrelenting in its efforts to challenge her socialism, opportunism and insincerity. This video turning her latest monologue into a dialogue is only a glimpse of things to come. Game on!

Hearkening to political times past, this week’s disgusting vote in the House and hopeful gridlock in the Senate really darkens my spirit.  Looking at Harry Reid coil with anger that the 60 votes necessary for cloture were not reached was the true epitome of “comeuppance.”
I believe that the votes were historic: marking a time [...]

Margaret Thatcher will be honored with a 7′ 6″ statue in the lobby of the House of Commons. I hope it will be made of iron.
Thanks to the Governator’s decision to replace one of California’s statues in statutory hall with Ronald Reagan, both giants in the Special Relationship will now have statues in the [...]

I don’t want to attract the kind of search engine traffic that could accompany a story like this one, so I’ll be as brief and nondescript as possible.  This idea is, at a minimum, an absurd misuse of taxpayer dollars.  Why should taxpayers have to pay for other New Yorkers’ Valentine’s Day bliss?

Finally, someone reminded Republicans that what’s at stake in Iraq is more than just sound-bytes and political points.  The debate on Iraq that is currently going on in Congress has devolved into populist “redeployment” or a more direct poll driven cut-and-run point of view.  However, some Republicans have figured it out:  what’s at stake is [...]

Mitt Romney’s flip-flopping on the issue of abortion will be his major hurdle to the Republican nomination. Romney himself admits that his position has evolved. Unfortunately for Romney, this press release from the Brownback campaign shows Romney’s history on this issue not as an evolution, or even flip-flopping, but as pandering of the [...]

So, explain this to me again… Where’s the story here?  Richard Armitage leaked Plame’s name “multiple times” to Bob Woodward in June of 2003, a fact made public months ago!  So, where’s the apology from Fitzgerald to Libby, Cheney, etc., as well as the American people for a gross misuse of taxpayers funds?  I’m not [...]

Czech President Vaclav Klaus has stated the unstated obvious. The U.N. panel on global warming does not deserve the deference (or religious devotion) given to it by the left because it is a political, not a scientific body. Somehow the media is unable to appreciate the distinction.
After criticizing the sacrament-like status given to [...]
