Joyeux Bastille Day!!!

July 14, 2007

France used to be cool.  But then Charles de Gaulle ruined international French influence into its current joke-like status after snubbing the USA, NATO and American interests whenever he could after World War II and during the Cold War. Quite ungrateful in my opinion.  This French nationalist poisoned relations between the US and France to the point where anti-American French leaders, [...]

Democrats Silencing Democrats

July 13, 2007

If you haven’t heard already, John ”Polly Prissy Pants” Edwards and She Who Must Not Be Named were caught by open microphones trying to coordinate the dumping of all the lower tier candidates from future debates yesterday.  What an obnoxious public display of hyprocricy at the NAACP Presidential Forum!  What about SWMNBN’s embrace of the “Fairness Doctrine,” allowing us [...]

Big Brother 8: Carol Evicted

July 12, 2007

Earlier tonight, the group inside the Big Brother house grew a little smaller when Carol became the first houseguest to be evicted. Sitting on the block alongside Amber, she was evicted by a vote of 10-1. I’m generally pleased with this outcome because Carol was quite boring. Amber on the other [...]

Interim Iraq Report on the Surge

July 12, 2007

According to the Bush Administration, 8 of 18 “benchmarks” have been satisfactorily met in Iraq (pdf) during the Surge period, not the overall gloomy failure that was being reported earlier this week.  Yet, these benchmark successes deal mostly with the military, rather than the political side of things over in Iraq.  I think this is both good and [...]

Rudy Foes Take Message Outside the Boroughs

July 12, 2007

Shallow smear jobs against Rudy Giuliani have been commonplace in New York City’s artsy neighborhoods for years now, but they have largely been confined there. Now that he is running for President as a Republican however, the smear campaign has been stepped up and spread out to the rest of the country. One [...]

Lady Bird Johnson (1912-2007)

July 12, 2007

Lady Bird Johnson, former First Lady of the United States, passed away yesterday at the age of 94. She will be fondly remembered not only for her time in the White House, but also for her commitment to beautifying America. Texans in particular will think of her every time her wildflowers blanket their [...]

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Movie Review

July 11, 2007

I just got back from seeing the latest Harry Potter film based on JK Rowling’s internationally well-known series.  Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was Rowling’s longest of the 7-part book series, but turns out to be the shortest of the films at around 2 hours and 12 minutes.  I wish these editors [...]

McCain’s Troubles

July 10, 2007

Senator Smeagol, John McCain, is feeling the pain of being unpopular as two high-level resignations took place today by two irreplacable staffers.  Both McCain’s campaign manager and chief strategist resigned on their own, not because of a fit from the Unstable One.  The illegal immigration issue effectively destroyed McCain’s campaign given his current competition, setting up a [...]

Fred Thompson: He Who Will Not Be Smeared?

July 9, 2007

The media are terrified of Fred Thompson. We saw it in the AP’s pathetic attempt to link the Tennessean to Watergate. We saw it in Michael Moore’s hilarious attempt to discredit him. Now we are seeing it in a recent LA Times hit piece alleging that Thompson, on behalf of well-known law [...]

Harry Reid on Iraq– The Ostrich Brigade Returns

July 9, 2007

Senate Majority Leader and old wuss-bag Harry “The Body” Reid is up to his old antics again by trying to pressure President Bush to cut-and-run in Iraq citing new Republican defections to the cut-and-run, Ostrich Brigade strategy (put your head in the sand and the bad guys’ll just go away).  The Dems can sniff out the [...]

Live Earth Flopped!

July 9, 2007

The pan-world Live Earth concert was essentially a dud to most neutral media observers.  This was the moment!  Algore preached to everyone in the world he could reach about his message and tried to galvanize support for action now.  Yet, the crowds were not huge, the acts were so-so, the message seemed forced, and the response [...]

Democrats Can’t Win On Ideas

July 9, 2007

In yet another example of how Democrat’s cannot win in the arena of ideas, a new popular author of the left, scientist Drew Weston, is telling the Democrats that they must play to voter’s emotions to win elections, and that they must counter Republican “scare-tactics.”  It again goes to show that the Democrat’s policy ideas [...]

Jon Tester: “Won and Done”

July 8, 2007

Montana Democrat and least senior of all 100 old goats in the Senate, Jon Tester, has a solution to Iraq:  declare victory and leave!  Oh boy.  This is a problem the Democrats have to contend with from the 2006 Election: blue dogs, or Democrats elected from traditionally Republican districts whose seats are vulnerable if they [...]

Corzine’s Carbon Attack Team

July 7, 2007

New Jersey’s Premier, Comrade Governor Jon Corzine, has bought into Algore’s global warming panic and took the NJ Politburo along with him.  The “Global Warming Response Act” sets into motion the country’s toughest carbon emission standards.  Fine, that’s his prerogative.  But he had to lecture Washington along the way telling them to “wake up” and get on [...]

Fred Thompson Gives Media a Right Fright

July 7, 2007

If early coverage of Fred Thompson’s campaign is any indication, the mainstream media are positively terrified of the prospect of a Fred Thompson presidency. This hit piece in particular is something that could have been written by the DNC itself. It attempts to link Fred Thompson with Richard Nixon and Watergate despite the [...]

Live Earth Hypocrisy

July 7, 2007

Algore’s big world-wide concert, “Live Earth“, is taking place today, 7-7-07 (the day, by the way, that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows should be coming out, but I digress).  MSN is the online sponsor, so NBC, MSDNC, and Bravo will also be running or reporting on the concert all day long.  Its point is to “raise awareness” to [...]

Clearstream Becoming Less Murky

July 6, 2007

Every time I read anything about Jacques Chirac and Dominique de Villepin, I’m forced to wonder whether either man possesses anything even resembling a redeeming quality. According to New York’s best newspaper, de Villepin may be investigated for claims that he and Chirac tried to frame now President Sarkozy for corruption in an attempt [...]

Palmetto Whispers

July 6, 2007

The marriage between Lindsey Graham and conservatives is on the rocks. Without a Republican challenger however, Graham can relax as he continues to fulfill his lifelong dream of being “Senator for life.” Despite conservative hopes to the contrary, news of potential challengers has been practically non-existent. Fortunately, whispers have been heard in South [...]

Happy Birthday President Bush!

July 6, 2007

Dubya turns 61 today.  That would mean he was born in 1946.  Demographically, this makes Bush a Baby-Boomer, like his predecessor BJ Clinton.  Bill’s a bit younger, turning 61 next month.  George has a loving wife and two successful 25 year old daughters, and a large, close-knit family.  He’s a born-again Methodist who struggled with [...]

Big Brother 8: Joe Has Got to Go!

July 5, 2007

I just watched the first episode of Big Brother Season 8 tonight and I’ve come to this conclusion:  Joe sucks!  But seriously folks, he needs to get voted off now!  He made two really dumb mistakes on the first day in the Big Brother House:

The eleven House guests were told that three more people were joining [...]

Big Brother 8 Starts Tonight! But First

July 5, 2007

The wait is over. The eighth season of Big Brother kicks off this evening at 8 PM on CBS. With All-Stars airing last summer, this season will feature the first new cast in two years. A quick glance at the official Big Brother website predictably shows a cast that looks as boring [...]

Tony Snow Knocks the Clintons

July 5, 2007

I like this kind of stuff… you know, Conservatives actually responding to Lib criticism!  Tony Snow, upon hearing that John Conyers is going to have hearing to investigate the commuting of Libby’s sentence by the White House, replied that Conyers could just ”knock himself out” with that task and asked Conyers to look into January 20, 2001 (the [...]

Commuting Scooter Libby

July 4, 2007

I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby got a well-deserved commutation of his ridiculous sentence Monday.  The jury in the case found him guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice, but the judge sentenced him to an excessive 30 months in the slammer!  He did wrong, but not remembering which reporter you talked to first many years ago [...]

Happy Fourth of July!!!

July 4, 2007

Happy Fourth of July from all of us here at Axis of Right!  America turns 231 today.  We celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia as our national birth date, but more importantly, the ideas behind the document and what that has meant for America since.  The Colonies had been in open [...]

Jimmah, the Broken Clock

July 3, 2007

Wow!  I just learned something new today!  I suppose the law of averages goes to show that even on accident something good can come out of something so bad.  In November of 1978, Jimmah legalized the brewing of beer at home.  While most homebrew is swill, it is kind of a freedom thing.  So I [...]

The Right Honourable Ostrich

July 3, 2007

Just days after Islamic terrorists attempted to attack London and successfully attacked Glasgow International Airport, Gordon Brown has forbidden his ministers from using word “Muslim” when describing terrorism. This move comes despite the fact that every act of international terrorism in recent years in the UK and elsewhere has been committed by Muslims. I’m sure [...]

I’m Just a Poor Boy Nobody Loves Me

July 2, 2007

John McCain’s campaign isn’t doing very well in the fundraising department. During the second quarter, he only managed to raise $11.2 million and now has only $2 million cash on hand. Because of this anemic fundraising, McCain has now been forced to fire much of his campaign staff, or as his friends in [...]

Politics with Newt Gingrich

July 1, 2007

This Washington Post article makes potential presidential candidate Newt Gingrich look very much human, and very much visionary with ideas about everything, and opinions about everyone.  Newt has morphed from someone who was knee-deep in throes of power, politics, and the Clinton smear machine in the 1990s to someone who has successfully, in my opinion, made [...]

No Cliffhanger for Farfour

July 1, 2007

Hamasvision recently aired the series finale of their popular children’s terrorist cartoon, Farfour the Terror Mouse. In the finale, the little rodent was whacked in plain view by what Hamas described as a Israeli terrorist, sparing the already torn Palestinian “community” from a cliffhanger and the vigorous debates that inevitably come with it.
