Shrilary’s New Slogan: “It’s the American Dream, Stupid!”

I just adore the heights of rhetorical glory to which the liberals soar. The exquisite beauty, the compelling logic, the masterful command of language and nuance, the consummate skill with which magnificently complex ideas are articulated with absolute economy of words, are simply breathtaking....

And you wonder why gas prices are so high?

Headline from Newsmax: "Cuba Drills for Oil 60 Miles Off U.S. Coast." Now see if the lead of the story makes any sense at all: “With Congress deadlocked over allowing oil drilling in presently restricted areas of the Gulf of Mexico, communist Cuba is already drilling for oil 60 miles off the coast...

Global Warming to Blame for Wildfires? Expanded July 22

Summer is here, and with it wildfire season. Predictably, even though there have been forest, grass and brushfires as long as there have been forests, grasslands and brush, the Global Warming Gang is right there to claim that this fire season is the worst, and that these fires are due to...

Israeli Over-reaction? Or giving Hezbollah what it deserves?

In spite of the barbarism they have committed, I find myself pitying the fools in Hezbollah. And that is what they are: fools!

Iran Hezbollah Welcomes World War III

As it has been for some forty years, it is fashionable among the politically correct to call America and Israel evil oppressors. It is now chic to accuse Israel of overreacting as it attacks Hezbollah’s havens and supply routes in Lebanon. It is all the rage to bemoan the innocent Lebanese being... Sign in to see full entry.

Democrats Say They Would Have Prevented Hezbollah War!

Heard on the radio this evening: Some unidentified Democrat windbag ranting and raving about how the current hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah would not have happened had they won the White House in 2000 and 2004.

America Bars Itself from Exploiting 85 Billion Barrel Oil Reserve

A report from Newsmax shows the extent of our government's folly regarding oil and natural gas. Quoting the story: "The Interior Department's Minerals Management Service (MMS) has estimated that the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) contains: More than 85 billion barrels of oil, quadruple current...

Israel and Hezbollah Demonstrate Folly of Concessions to Terrorists

Here we go again. Palestinian terrorists are killing Israeli soldiers and lobbing missiles into Israeli territory.
