This is the U.S. Military that Terrorizes Iraqis in their Homes at Night?

Senator John Kerry made well-earned and shameful headlines last year with this statement to Bob Schieffer: “And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the...

Was Your Vote a Protest Against the Congressional Culture of Corruption?

If so, you were duped. Consider the following: House Speaker wannabe Nancy Pelosi arranged for over $30,000,000 in pork (i. e., wasteful government spending) to be lavished on her district in the last two years, even as she condemned Republicans for wasteful spending (see...

Germany to Prosecute Rumsfeld, Other American Leaders for War Crimes?

To them, having everyone like us and clearing everything we do to protect ourselves with everyone else is the supreme virtue, even more important than the act of protecting ourselves. Here’s a prime example of the kind of... Sign in to see full entry.

Who Has the Right to Criticize the Critics of the Military?

When I lambasted Senator John Kerry for his insult of American servicepeople, I was challenged by a couple of the resident liberals. How dare I, ran their reasoning, criticize Kerry – who served his country honorably, they say – when I have not been in the Armed Forces myself? Very simple. First,... Sign in to see full entry.

Random thoughts on the election

One of the resident liberals chided us Republicans for our silence last night. Let me make up for that. First and foremost: Unleash the lawyers! File the lawsuits! File false claims of vote suppression! Oh, wait a minute – wrong party. That’s how Democrats respond to losing an election. That said:... Sign in to see full entry.

POWs LAWSUIT COULD FORCE KERRY TO COME CLEAN ON VIETNAM ‘WAR CRIMES’ CHARGES When John Kerry slandered an entire generation of men who fought in Vietnam he branded them as "war criminals."

Kerry: Get an Education or be Stuck in Iraq!

I just love John Kerry. I mean, I absolutely adore the guy. So what if he’s been likened to Lurch from the Addams Family, or if I think he looks from some angles like Odo from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Why am I so fond of this galoot? Because he is an absolute gift to the Republicans. He opens his... Sign in to see full entry.
