Partisanship; the last refuge of scoundrels
Samuel Johnson once claimed that “patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels” meaning, not that all patriots are scoundrels as some on the Left have interpreted it in recent years, but that scoundrels hid behind a facade of false patriotism. Since Mr. Johnson has been dead for more than two hundred years, I’d like to […]
Code Pink; US troops “terrorists”/new GOE Rally
Redhunter has all of the Freeper links to the dust up that happened outside of the Walter Reed gate this last Friday when Code Pinks aging hippies decided to interupt a Canadian TV crew interviewing the DC Freepers supporting our wounded troops. But to summarize, some old bag said our troops were the terrorists in Iraq. […]
The high price of consumerism
The news programs seem to be obsessed with the high price of gasoline this morning – expected to reach $4/gallon by Memorial Day weekend in some places.

I’ll let you read his words; The Senate’s No. 2 Democrat says he knew that the American public was being misled into the Iraq war but remained silent because he […]
Same old leftist solutions; just let me rant
Just browsing through the Washington Post, I found an opinion piece entitled “A plan to cut poverty in half” by Mark Greenberg and Elisa Minoff. Man, I’d like to see that happen so I began reading. Turns out, it’s about a report from the Center for American Progress. Hey, I’m all for American progress, so I flipped […]
More common sense from Joe Lieberman
This morning’s Washington Post has another op/ed from Joe Lieberman – one that I find hard to argue with. Last week a series of coordinated suicide bombings killed more than 170 people. The victims were not soldiers or government officials but civilians — innocent men, women and children indiscriminately murdered on their way home from […]
Democrats; Bush won’t veto defense bill
Obviously, Democrats haven’t been paying attention lately. They honestly think that the president won’t dare use his veto to block their pork-laden, cowardly spending bill for Iraq. Why? I’ll let the head moonbat tell you – from Anne Flaherty of APÂ via the Washington Examiner: “For the first time, the president will have to be accountable […]
