In Case You Missed It: “Iraq residents rise up against al-Qaida”

This is a headline and a story that is worth noting. Some of the anti-Bush and the blame-America-first crowd deny that al-Qaida even exists in Iraq. This article not only confirms the presence of al-Qaida but it also demonstrates how Iraqi citizens are rising up against these barbarians and asking for America’s help in the [...]

Fair and balanced?

Some of us have a sneaking suspicion that the nation’s print media just might have a little liberal bias, and a real problem with President Bush. That suspicion all too often is confirmed both by what newspapers even determine is “news” as well as how they report it.
See what you make of the May 23 [...]

In Case You Missed It: Liberal Hawks

In the May 28 issue of The Weekly Standard, associate editor Matthew Continetti penned an exceptional feature article (”Liberal Hawks, an Endangered Species“) about the evolution of many of the Democrat Senators that would be President in the post 9/11 era and in particular as the 2008 election campaign ramps up. He also tracks the [...]

We owe them all thanks

Throughout our 231 year history many have answered the call to serve our nation by wearing the uniform and defending the flag of the United States of America. We honor their sacrifice and the freedom they have defended and preserved again on this Memorial Day. How different our lives would be had they not served [...]

Why they call it the “People’s Republic of Boulder”

In the May issue of A Line of Sight we reported [...]

A question of Presidential Powers

So, the Democrats caved in and Congress has finally passed a bill to continue funding support for our troops in the field. Notably, Senators Clinton, Obama, and Dodd – all candidates for President - voted against the final bill presumably because the predetermined withdrawal date from Iraq was removed from the bill.
Hmm? Do you suppose [...]

Spoken like a true Irishman

I always said that my opponent in the 2002 campaign for Congress wasn’t an all bad guy - here’s evidence of one of the most redeeming qualities of “the usually outspoken former state senator and prominent Democratic beer drinker Mike Feeley”:
“In fact, I find it morally reprehensible to boycott beer in any form.”

What Bible does he read?

Former President Jimmy Carter was recently promoting his new audio Bible teaching series “Sunday Mornings in Plains” to a reporter when he veered off his talking points and ripped the Bush Administration as “the worst in history.” Then for good measure he went after outgoing British Prime Minister Tony Blair, labeling his support for Bush [...]

Mommie Dearest

Earlier in the week, Matt Drudge reported:
PELOSI LOWERS THE BOOM
Wed May 16 2007 14:43:59 ET
After losing a string of embarrassing votes on the House floor because of procedural maneuvering, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has decided to change the current House Rules to completely shut down the floor to the minority.
The Democratic Leadership is [...]

A double standard?

“While I derived great satisfaction from years of practicing law, I have not done so for 15 years and do not envision returning to the profession.” Former NSA Director to President Clinton, Sandy Berger.
And, this is justice? Scooter Libby goes to jail for a lapse of memory, and Sandy Berger gives up something he has [...]
