Are the Anti-War Protestors Really Anti-War? They Are Not.

Anti-war protestors won the expected headlines in the news media with their rally in Washington, DC last weekend. I say they are not anti-war protestors at all. And the same is true for the so-called "peace and justice" activists. Regardless of how politically correct the label behind which these... Sign in to see full entry.

Shrillary Contradicts Her Own Account of Iraq War Vote

Shrillary had this to say about the Iraq war vote Saturday: “I said that we should not go to war unless we have allies. So he took the authority that I and others gave him and he misused it, and I regret that deeply. And if we had known then what we know now, there never would have been a vote and I...

Kerry's Values Threatened by Iraq Policy?

Failed presidential candidate John Kerry has chosen not to try again. In his tearstained speech in the Senate chamber yesterday, he said the following: "I intend to work here[in the Senate - WOL] to change a policy in Iraq that threatens all that I've cared about and fought for since I came home...

Congressional Democrats Refuse to Applaud Victory in Iraq?

That's one of the impressions I got from watching their reaction to the State of the Union Address last night. If the President mentioned victory in Iraq by itself, the Republicans stood and applauded. The Democrats, on the other hand, did nothing. (If the troops were also mentioned, then they stood...

Gen. Petraeus: Troop Surge Won't Be Easy - And Congress Encourages Enemies

The news has been going all day about how Lt. Gen. David Petraeus told the Senate Armed Services Committee concerning the increased troop deployments in Iraq, "None of this will be rapid.

Headline: "Obama Poll Numbers Smoked Hillary Out"

That's the actual headline from a story at http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2007/1/20/125951.shtml?s=lh. True enough on the face of it in all likelihood, but quite insightful. Senator Obama, you see, smokes cigarettes. That's right, the candidate that Democrats and their media stooges are fawning... Sign in to see full entry.

Yes, according to Speaker Nancy Pelosi. From a story at http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2007/1/19/161824.shtml?s=lh: "'The president knows that because the troops are in harm's way that we won't cut off the resources,' Pelosi, head of the Democratic-led House, told ABC's Good Morning America....

Enjoy Low Ga$ Prices While You Can - Democrats Will Kill Them For You

The Democrats your vote put in Congress are going to see to it that the relief we are now enjoying from sky-high ga$ prices is short-lived. From an AP story at http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2007/1/18/203509.shtml: “The House rolled back billions of dollars in oil industry subsidies... Sign in to see full entry.
