MoveOn Won’t Part II

As I wrote earlier, MoveOn dot Org is upset that the Republicans are staging a revolt on the floor of the House this week demanding that Speaker Pelosi recognize that this is a crisis and that Congress do something about it instead of taking an well-deserved vacation after accomplishing absolutely nothing in the last two […]

The bumpy ride ahead

Juan Williams writes in the Wall Street Journal this morning that “The Race Issue Isn’t Going Away“. In reference to the discussion about Obama’s “dollar bill” hyperbole, Williams writes;  Mr. Obama’s campaign concedes it has no clear example of a Republican attack that expressly cites Mr. Obama’s name or race. Yet in the last few […]

Attention whores at “Recreate 68”

Rurik sends me this link from a Colorado Fox affiliate. The “Recreate 68” crowd thinks that their little drama play in Denver is so important that local police are threatening them to stop it; Members of “Denver CopWatch” and several other activists say they received an email threatening a police riot during the convention.

The Ron Paul Revolution in full swing

Ron Paulians filled Constitution Avenue this morning to bring the “Second Revolutionary War” to Washington. I’ll admit that it was a pretty big crowd, the website had over 15,000 people pledged to come, but it looked like less than half that many showed up, but it was fairly impressive nonetheless.

It was going to be in Bethesda on Wisconsin Avenue which connects trendy, yuppie Bethesda with trendier, yuppier Georgetown. But it was much […]

Rich Davis; American Sheepdog

My buddy, Skye from Midnight Blue sent this video along and asked me to post it. Like I’d turn down Skye for any request. But it’s about Rich Davis, whom I met briefly when I went to West Chester last month – only breifly because Rich was on the move from the time we got […]

Of Deserters and Drama Queens

Meet Corey Glass.  This is Corey’s Story: In 2002, I joined the Indiana National Guard. When I joined, I was told I would only be in combat if there were troops occupying the United States. I signed up to defend people and do humanitarian work filling sandbags if there was a hurricane. I had no […]

Vietnam vets at war again

Those filthy hippie freaks of the 60s are so steeped in their self-importance, so self-assured they somehow made a difference in this country’s history, they’re back to attacking the veterans of the same era. Dodging their spittle the first time wasn’t enough, I suppose. It was honest-to-goodness Vietnam veterans who dealt the death blow to […]
