Redeployment: Another Election-Year Stunt

The Democrats are getting ready for the upcoming election season. Having done so poorly for the past, well, decade or so, they may finally be seeing an opportunity to capitalize on one of the Bush administration’s many misfortunes. Whether it’s Jack Abramoff’s lobbying sleaze, Cheney’s happy trigger finger, or Scooter Libby’s indictment, they sure have … Continue reading “Redeployment: Another Election-Year Stunt”

Who’s the Bigger Hawk, George or Hillary?

There aren’t many elected officials in Washington who want to throw the gauntlet down on Iran more than Hillary Clinton. The New York senator believes the president has been too soft on the militant Islamic country, claiming that Bush has played down the threat of a nuclear-armed Tehran. “I believe we lost critical time in … Continue reading “Who’s the Bigger Hawk, George or Hillary?”

MoveOn.org Surrenders

It’s a good thing for MoveOn.org that George W. Bush was reelected. If he hadn’t been, the liberal troupe would have nothing to contest. Even if the bloody occupation had continued under a John Kerry presidency (it most certainly would have), the cowering office-chair activists would have ducked behind their computer screens awaiting the return … Continue reading “MoveOn.org Surrenders”

Bird-Dogging Hillary Clinton

One has to be pleased that the antiwar movement is taking shape. Finally the target isn’t just George. W. Bush and gang. Last night at a chic Manhattan fundraiser for Hillary Clinton, antiwar activists staked out the senator and vowed to do so until she changes her position on the war. Sen. Clinton released a … Continue reading “Bird-Dogging Hillary Clinton”

Hillary in the Holy Land

There really is no way of getting around it. Senator Hillary Clinton may well be future presidential material after all. Sen. Clinton, along with her husband Bill, paid a visit to Israel this past weekend. The former President Clinton was a featured speaker at a mass rally that marked the 10th anniversary of the assassination … Continue reading “Hillary in the Holy Land”

Talking Points Propaganda

It seems that liberals will go to any lengths in order to protect the sanctity of President Clinton’s legacy, and it is getting downright aggravating. Take Joshua Micah Marshall, the Ivy-league liberal who publishes Talking Points Memo, an enormously popular online political blog with a prog-centrist tilt, à la Eric Alterman. As Marshall recently wrote: … Continue reading “Talking Points Propaganda”

Washington Democrats: No Will, No Backbone

These are tremulous times for the Republican establishment. A poll released this past weekend by Ipsos/Associated Press confirms that Bush’s agenda has slid right off the table and into the trash bin. The president’s popularity has plummeted to a meager 39 percent, the lowest of his tenure. At the center of Bush’s nose dive is … Continue reading “Washington Democrats: No Will, No Backbone”

In Defense of Lew Rockwell

Recently, Jacob Laksin over at the dreadful FrontPageMag.com snapped at Lew Rockwell, the libertarian-minded editor of the popular LewRockwell.com, for aligning himself with the most "unhinged elements of the far left." I mean really, you’ve got to laugh out loud when saps like Laksin get all huffy over trivial matters. Come to think of it, … Continue reading “In Defense of Lew Rockwell”

You Can’t Fight ‘Ists’ and ‘Isms’

Cindy Sheehan is the mother of Spc. Casey Austin Sheehan, KIA 04/04/04. She is co-founder of Gold Star Families for Peace. Sheehan was recently interviewed by Joshua Frank, author of Left Out! How Liberals Helped Reelect George W. Bush, published by Common Courage Press. Joshua Frank: Cindy, why did you decide to hook up with … Continue reading “You Can’t Fight ‘Ists’ and ‘Isms’”

Top Democrats Flee Peace Protests

I have been thinking for a while now that the Democrats really should sit down and consider changing their mascot from a donkey to a marmot. A rodent really is more emblematic of their provincial habits than a donkey could ever be. Think about it. Just this past weekend, antiwar rallies were held across the … Continue reading “Top Democrats Flee Peace Protests”
