NCAA Men’s Final Four Basketball

by Ryan on March 31, 2007

in Sports

So it’s time for the storied Final Four to begin at 6:07 tonight when Ohio State University takes on Georgetown. Later at 8:47, we get to catch last year’s champ Florida take on UCLA, who played each other in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship Game just one year ago! March Madness ends with [...]

No, no, not George McGovern, but the Massachusetts Representative from Worcester James McGovern has endorsed SWMNBN despite that whole she-voted-for-the-war thing. Somehow having a McGovern endorse one’s candidacy is not necessarily a good thing. Just think back to 1972 for a moment on what can happen to “peace” Democrats!
You know, back in the [...]

Forbes Backs Rudy

by Ryan on March 29, 2007

in Politics

“Mr. Flat Tax” Steve Forbes is supporting Rudy Giuliani for President in 2008. Among his reasons is Forbes’ belief that Rudy is fiscally conservative and will maintain and improve upon good economic times if elected. I like the idea of a flat tax, of course, but Forbes neglected to point out Giuliani’s position [...]

Day Six: More British Bollocks!

by Ryan on March 28, 2007

in Politics

Day Six of the hostage crisis now has the Iranians parading the British marines around on video! I thought it was illegal, according to the Geneva Convention relative to the treatment of Prisoners of War (1950), to parade prisoners in such a fashion (see Article 13), even if one of the states involved does [...]

Missing: Republican Party’s Spine

by Mike on March 28, 2007

in Politics

Right Wing News has an interesting take on Republican reaction to the Alberto Gonzalez non-scandal. Basically, they argue the problem with Republicans right now is rooted in what is good about Republicans.
Conservatives pride themselves on not blindly standing up for their own side. Yes, we’re not like the hypocritical Democrats who have no integrity [...]

Video: “How Modern Liberals Think”

by Ryan on March 27, 2007

in Politics

I caught this video on Drudge earlier today and I feel it’s worth posting here as well.  Evan Sayet, lecturing at the Heritage Foundation, has a great 48-minute speech on “How Modern Liberals Think.” It has great insight into why he feels Liberals are wrong on every issue.  Sayet believes that this comes from a [...]

The New Duck and Cover

by Mike on March 25, 2007

in Politics

The following Mary Katharine Ham video is a parody of what liberals were up to last week, but notice how the parody isn’t that different from what liberals were actually up to last week.

Iran Unhinged

by Ryan on March 24, 2007

in Politics

So Iran wants to try those 15 Brits for espionage, even though a shady forced confession and eye witness accounts of the incident lend little credibility to the Islamic Republic’s judicial integrity on this issue.  After the 15-0 Security Council vote on Resolution 1747 to impose stiffer economic sanctions on the ol’ Mahdi Paradise, all [...]

Here’s My Plan for Mahmoud

by Ryan on March 23, 2007

in Politics

In lieu of recent events, here’s my plan for Mahmoud:

Grant him a visa to land his plane and give him permission to go to the United Nations.
Let him in.
Let the British take him into custody for the illegal act of war they perpetrated today.
Watch and see.

Do they have the guts?  Would it up the ante, [...]

The Democrats Did Have a Plan After All

by Mike on March 23, 2007

in Politics

The Democrats have been squawking for years that they have a plan for the war in Iraq. Several on the right doubted this, but the Democratic Congress proved us wrong. They did indeed have a plan and earlier today, it passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 218-212. The long-awaited [...]

Code Pink’s in da House!

by Ryan on March 22, 2007

in Politics

 

The lefty moonbat, tin-hat fringe group, Code Pink has decided that they’re going to storm San Fran Nan’s House Speaker’s office because of the Democrat’s reluctance to openly and quickly cut-and-run in Iraq! They expect arrests.
I love it! What the Democrat’s are experiencing from the Loony Left is something that we here have been [...]

Going Fishin’?

by Ryan on March 21, 2007

in Politics

In the latest round of a brewing constitutional crisis, a House committee has authorized subpoena power, should Democrat John Conyers choose, to subpoena Karl Rove, Harriet Miers and whoever else is their political target du jour.  This is not the same as actually issuing a subpoena, but the issue that they are huffing and puffing [...]

McCain’s Immigration Status

by Ryan on March 20, 2007

in Politics

We are in the midst of watching a real-time, real-life political flip-flop slowly unfurl before our eyes in the Republican race for the White House. No, it’s not Romney, it’s McCain! He’s in the process of “reconsidering” his stance on illegal immigration. Convenient since his poll numbers among conservatives are faltering. [...]

Iraq at 4

by Ryan on March 19, 2007

in Politics

President Bush came out of his cave this morning to give some remarks marking the fourth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.  He asked for patience to see this thing through to its end and that Congress had better lay off the politicking while troops are in harm’s way.  Good luck with that Mr. [...]

Unauthorized Obama Ad: 1984

by Mike on March 19, 2007

in Politics

He should never be President, but you’ve got to admire Barack Obama’s political skills. The following video slamming She Who Must Not Be Named, apparently created by Obama supporters, but with plausible deniability, conveys a message Republicans have understood for years now. It looks like some Democrats are catching on too.
Some will [...]

Iraq’s Hopeful

by Ryan on March 18, 2007

in Politics

Here’s a little ray of sunshine on this cold New Jersey Sunday morning:
Iraqi’s have more hope in their future than we do, according to new polls from a London-based media research group. Only 27% of Iraqis believe that they are in a civil war, compared to 99.9% of the American media. Unfortunately, twenty-six [...]

WMDs in Iraq!

by Ryan on March 17, 2007

in Politics

Maybe Saddam didn’t manufacture them, but three suicide bombs containing chlorine gas sickened over 350 Iraqis, as well as 6 American soldiers in the latest round of terror violence in Iraq.
This is what the international community and the American Left continue to fail to see:  whatever Iraq was FOUR years ago, it’s something very different [...]

Watching the War

by Ryan on March 15, 2007

in Politics

She Who Must Not Be Named has crossed into new territory today.  In a New York Slimes interview (reported by Fox News by the way) she indicates that she would actually leave some US troops in Iraq if elected President (wow), but only to have a presence there… a presence to watch Iran, to watch [...]

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Admits It!

by Ryan on March 14, 2007

in Politics

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed admitted to planning the 9/11 attacks, according to newly released Pentagon documents.  He is one of the enemy combatants being held at Gitmo.  This S.O.B.’s capture had more operational significance than Bin Ladin, since he was alleged to have planned the attacks from the start.  Turns out we were right about something, [...]

Pelosi’s Problem

by Ryan on March 14, 2007

in Politics

San Fran Nan’s problem lately has been appeasing the kook fringe of her party in Congress, especially on spending and Iraq.  Now, on the issue of the war, she is feeling the full range of pressure from all quarters of her caucus.  It’s one of the problems that may surface when you misread election results [...]

(The Axis of) Right Wing Conspiracy!

by Ryan on March 13, 2007

in Politics

Yes, it’s all true! Your friends here at Axis of Right are part of the ever growing, ever insidious vast right wing conspiracy to destroy the Clintons, American democracy, and even though we like puppies, they might one day be on our list!
What?! Are you kidding me? I seriously thought this was a [...]

Fred Thompson Anyone?

by Mike on March 12, 2007

in Politics

The whispers are becoming audible. Former Tennessee Senator and well-known actor Fred Thompson is considering a run for the White House. Known to the most of the country as a D.A. on Law & Order, Thompson has both the star power and presence necessary for a successful campaign. Couple these qualities with [...]

JFK and She Who Must Not Be Named

by Ryan on March 11, 2007

in Politics

In her latest reason why she won’t be our next President, SWMNBN apparently called herself the new JFK, of course without the hawkish attitude and tax cutting ethic of Kennedy.
Simple and straightforward response from me on this one:  It’s not that American’s are not ready for a woman President, they’re increasingly not ready for YOU [...]

Dumb Dems

by Ryan on March 10, 2007

in Politics

Bill Clinton ripped Chris Wallace, a registered Democrat, in an interview last year on Fox News.  To the objective observer, Clinton looked petty and angry.  Ever since, the Dems have used Fox News as a pariah that should be mocked and avoided.  Now, Fox News Channel executive Roger Ailes has responded to the growing noise [...]

Newt’s Bad Behavior

by Ryan on March 9, 2007

in Culture, Politics

I really didn’t want to have to do a post like this, especially about Newt Gingrich, but here goes. On a radio interview with James Dobson earlier, Newt admitted to having had an affair in the 1990s, around the same time BJ Clinton was being impeached. I’d heard all the “nyah nyah” talking [...]

Changing the House of Lords

by Ryan on March 8, 2007

in Politics

The British House of Commons has pushed through a measure looking for 100% of the upper, hereditary/cronyistic House of Lords to be an elected body.  The House of Lords was formed in the 14th century and was once more powerful than the House of Commons. Only in the last century has it lost nearly all [...]

So Far, So Good

by Ryan on March 8, 2007

in Politics

An early assessment of insurgent activity around Baghdad over the last month shows an 80% decrease in the number of attacks.  These are the early stages of the new plan, as both General Petraeus and Secretary of State Gates note, but the early signs are good.  Every time some new tactic or event comes along, [...]

Raper’s Abortion

by Ryan on March 7, 2007

in Culture

Jennifer Raper has a two year old daughter that she didn’t want. In fact she tried to end her daughter’s life through an abortion, but after a failed procedure in April 2004 and a misdiagnosis of her 20-week pregnancy in July, she remained pregnant and gave birth that December. She’s now suing [...]
