IN a complete reversal of their scurrilous comparison of Gitmo to a soviet Gulag, William Schultz, the leader in America of AI, stated the following: "Clearly, this is not an exact or a literal analogy," said William Schulz. "In size and in duration, there are not similarities between U.S. detention facilities and the gulag. . . . People are not being starved in those facilities. They're not being subjected to forced labor." Clearly the words "we were wrong" is beyond their ...
There is a Political Science professor at UVA, that most Television stations and newspapers call upon during local and national elections to try to figure out what is going on with them. He has always seemed to be insightful and pretty much even handed in his analysis. In otherwords, he takes his profession as a higher calling than his personal politics. Well, he just wrote a piece for the Opinion Journal, and I think he is dead on! "Do you know how many Republican S...
Thumbing through the latest articles on Sam Alito, I came across one by Jonathan Rosenblum (amazing what google will return with a search on key words). This article was a little bit about Alito, but mostly it was about one man's observations of going from Liberal to Conservative in his life's journey. Rosenblum was not always conservative as he details, in fact probably back in the 60s, he was (in his words) one of the last to don a suit. But over time, he has gone from Ideologue...
Old Howlin Howie is at it again. And this time, while he is 'supporting the troops', he is saying they are failures. Dont you love how the democrat leadership supports the troops? "We support our troops, but we think you are a bunch of failures." This time, Howard "foot in mouth" Dean is saying that the Iraqis are like the south Vietnamese, forgetting that the south faced a formidable foe in North Vietnam. Forgetting that the only opposition in Iraq is a bunch of cowardly te...
Andrew Sullivan, former editor of the New Republic (and no friend of the current administration) thinks that Sen Joe Lieberman's latest speeches and editoritals on Iraq are a precursor for the Administration asking him to become the Secretary Of Defense after Don Rumsfeld resigns. I dont know if there is any truth to the rumor, but I for one would love to see him take the job if offered. Alone among the senate Democrats, Lieberman has been a harsh critic of many of Bush's policies, but ...
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there has been actual voter fraud found! Documented and prosecuted even! So how many of you have heard about it? Probably not many. For the Fraud did not involve the presidential elections, nor did the convicted come from the republican side of the aisle. So dont expect to see it on many News sites. Rep. Patricia Bailey decided to run for her legislature, without meeting the requirements (like living in her district?). But because that ...
This is a picture from the New Moron (excuse me, dwellon, no wait, moveon.org) Campaign against Bush. About how the troops in Iraq are not spending Thanksgiving at home. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this, and why they should change their name to moron.org? Everyone is welcome to play!
It seems CNN does not like its employees to tell the truth! The "X Marks the Spot" on Cheney on CNN was apparently intentional, not a computer glitch. Since it was so quick, CNN was hoping that a subliminal message would be sent, but no one would notice it. Silly CNN! They forgot about Tivo! Where you can actually dissect a video stream frame by frame. The Switchboard operator allegedly told a caller: "We did it just to make a point. Tell them to stop lying, B...
By now most are aware of the John Murtha call for the immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq. Murtha actually said (from his own website): http://www.house.gov/apps/list/press/pa12_murtha/statement_051117iraq.html I believe we must begin discussions for an immediate re-deployment of U.S. forces from Iraq. So in an accommodating fashion, the House decided to do just that, with resolution number 571: http://www.rules.house.gov/109/text/hres571/109hres571.pdf ...
Or maybe just one X. I wonder how they are going to spin this one?
Bill Clinton has decided he now wants to be George S. Patton. In a speech recently, Bill opined: "When [the U.S.] kicked out Saddam, they decided to dismantle the whole authority structure," Clinton told an audience at American University in Dubai. "Most of the people who were part of that structure were good, decent people who were making the best out of a very bad situation," he added. So, the people that were aiding and abetting Saddam in his exterminating the kurds and other...
Yes, that mainstay of English teachers (actually literature teachers, but they are not smart enough to know the difference), Kurt Vonnegut has decided that his hate for Bush is so great, that the Terrorists must be good people! "They are dying for their own self-respect," he said. "It's a terrible thing to deprive someone of their self-respect. It's like your culture is nothing, your race is nothing, you're nothing." You see how silly and stupid he is? Dying for self respect ca...
Recently, the 9th Circus court of appeals issued a ruling that said that Parents have no right to deny their children exposure to smut. The actual case was not about smut, but Sex education, but to some conservative christians, it amounts to the same thing. So in effect, while the 9th Circus can miraculously find a right to privacy in the Constitution when it comes to Abortion, and they can find that Parents are responsible for children, they cannot find a right for the parent to have c...
The NY times wrote a fluff peace about Randi Rhodes and another Airhead America female. They gushed about both of them and talked about how females would take over the Airwaves. Ok, that may be news. Except they never did such a piece of Laura ingram or Ann Coulter. Gee! I wonder why! It is not a revelation. It is not even mildly surprising. What this is, is the simple fact that the NY times no longer even tries to hide the fact that they are just a left...
Bush and Cheney have been on the offensive lately. Some say it is way overdue. They are refuting the claims of the Democrat leadership that they were in the dark. (Yea, I know, they are always in the dark). But Rep Murtha played their hand today. He called for a complete and utter retreat from Iraq. Forget the 2000 Americans and the other allies losses! Time to pull out! So the democrats are finally getting honest, if not smarter. Murtha has shown ...
