Starting a new blog on outrage

The theme of selective outrage is so fruitful that I've begun a new blog, "Where is your Outrage?" under the News heading. I'll reserve this blog for ongoing wry commentary on the other forms of liberal folly. Sign in to see full entry.

Senator Kerry does it again!

Senator Kerry two-faced himself in novel form, even for him, by saying that while he favors abortion he'd appoint a pro-life justice to the Supreme Court so long as it wouldn't put a majority view in favor of abortion in danger. Come again? First of all, a Supreme Court justice is to be nominated... Sign in to see full entry.

Where do Nancy Pelosi's priorities lie?

House minority leader Nancy Pelosi was quite upset about how the abuse of Iraqi prisoners has harmed our reputation as a nation. Is she as upset about the butchering of an innocent American civilian by Iraqi murderers? If not, her priorities are as grossly out of order as Clinton's were when, under... Sign in to see full entry.

Selective outrage, anyone?

Huge hue and cry from Democrats over alleged abuse of Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers. Their war hero Kerry claims before Congress to have done far, far worse. About his atrocities, silence. Just like their silence about Americans being dismembered and dragged through the streets of Fallujah.... Sign in to see full entry.

The brain reels again

In the past couple of days, Senator Kerry has: Said on a campaign trip to Louisiana that the Louisana gulf coast reminded him of the Mekong delta. Dared Charles Gibson of Good Morning America to air footage of him throwing medals away in 1971. What potential voter would like to hear that his/her... Sign in to see full entry.

In recent days, Senator Kerry has claimed that: The Vice President's duty is to create jobs. Hamas and Hezbollah are sort of terrorist. Radical Shiite imam Muqtada al-Sadr is a 'legitimate voice' in Iraq, The brain reels. The Vice President is the president of the Senate, not a job creator. He also... Sign in to see full entry.
