Like the lynch mobs of old, the lynchee was often innocent (see Hang em High). And nothing has changed today. IN their effort to lynch Karl Rove, the democrats have thrown logic, reason, and evidence to the 4 winds. They care nothing for the guilt or innocent of anyone in this case, and instead just want their pound of flesh. According to the lead prosecutor (those pesky facts you know): Plamegate special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald had told top White House adviser Ka...
I read an article today where a member of the left side of the spectrum was trying to explain why we should be more tolerant of the terrorist. Now I know that many people got upset when Karl Rove made the statements he did, and some perhaps rightfully so. But this Article was trying to attach blame to all the victims of terrorism by quoting a recent history of the Middle east. The problem is, he shot at the broad side of a barn and missed totally. The suggestion of that article...

A comment made on another thread got me thinking about how this war is being prosecuted. The quote: could it possibly be that bush, cheney, wolfowitz, perle, abrams, negroponte and all the rest of your heroes who've been tossing lives and money at the problem don't know sh*t bout prosecuting a war? I was watching the history channel the other day, and it was about the Vietnam war and how the bombing campaign was being run. Nothing could be bombed unless it came from the pr...
Like lays potato chips, the loony left leadership (Note to Lefties at JU: That was a qualifier)just cant stop being loony! In the latest demonstration on how not to win friends and influence non-loony loopy luddite lefties, Hillary Clinton blasted Bush and compared him to Alfred E. Newman. Now I for one grew up on Mad magazine, and their Spy v SPy and movie parodies are some fo the greatest fiction I have ever read and laughed at. INdeed, I like Alfred E. Newman. But I would...
September 11 changed a lot, but other things have changed: Globalization, technology, a smaller planet, the difficulties of radical fundamentalism, the crosscurrents of religion and politics. We are living in an age where the dangers are different and they require a different response, different thinking, and different approaches than we have applied in the past. . . . A brutal, oppressive dictator, guilty of personally murdering and condoning murder and torture, grotesqu...
The latest insightful comments from Hanoi John: Costas: If you had been elected president last November, by this point what would President John Kerry have done in Iraq? Kerry: Well, I laid out--you know, I don't want to get in--I mean, I think that's not quite the way to go at it. As Chevy Chase said, Good answer, Way to be decisive! Nail those answers. yea that is what it is! And People voted for him? That is the way he really is!
Iran has been an anathema to the western world since Jimmy "Lust in my heart" Carter sold the Shaw down the proverbial river. Instead of easing him out with a gradual transition to a secular democracy, he dumped him on his ass. The latest president is somewhat suspect. is he a Terrorist? Or not. Well, one person thinks he is: "As soon as I saw his picture in the paper, I knew that was the bastard," said retired Army Col. Charles Scott, 73, a former hostage who liv...
The Day before terrorists slammed London, Barbara "Nothing is too stupid to say" Boxer made a speech lashing out on the war on Terror. "The insurgents are winning the propaganda wars now,'' she said. "Terrorism is a result of this war,'' No, the insurgents are not. They are winning the press war. And I think 9-11 showed that Terrorism is not the result of the war, it is the reason for the war! I sometimes wonder how people so stupid can continue to get elected.&nbs...
One of our frequent posters wrote a very revealing article on 9-11 and 7-7 (WTC and London). IN it, he revealed part of the European mentality that escapes so many Americans. We have several UK Posters here at JU, and a couple of immigrants from across the pond from the UK. And while the latter have tried to explain things to us natives, for the most part, Americans scratch their heads and say OK. Not really understanding the mind set. Yesterday, England became a membe...
Just got off the phone with manopeace and he is Dead in the water. Seems everytime he tries to get to joe User (or Stardock, Political Machine, etc.), he gets a page starting to load, and then a Page cannot be Displayed. As I have not had any abnormal problems, and it appears that not many else are, does Stardock belong to a blacklisting site that may have blacklisted his site due to high spam content? (Beleive it or not, the State of VA was on one of those lists at one time!&nbs...
Yep, in anotehr show of his inifinite partisanship (Damn the good of America! Full Liberalism ahead!), Chucky Cheese has figured out a way to test any nominee (that is not DOA) sent before the Judiciary committee. On one hand, he pontificates: "To simply look at the resume and say, 'You're fine' - I don't buy it," Mr. Schumer said. "I think that person's views on environmental rights, on voting rights, on civil rights, on women's rights - this is the most important appointment that...
