A few questions about Larry Craig.

Posted 31 Aug 2007 in corruption, Democrats, hypocrisy, Republicans

Before I decide whether or not Republican Senator Larry Craig should resign because of his George Michael impersonation at the airport, I’d like to pose a few relevant questions… Did Ted Kennedy (D-Ma.) resign over his criminal behavior at Chappaquiddick? Did Marion Berry’s (D-DC) arrest and conviction for smoking crack cocaine with a prostitute prevent him from being re-elected mayor of Washington, D.C.? Did Senator Barney Frank (D-Ma.)resign over his gay prostitution scandal? Did Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) resign over his role as an un-indicted co-conspirator in the Abscam bribery scandal of the late 1970s? Did Rep. Gerry Studds (D-Ma.) resign after his sexual relationship with an underage male was discovered? Did William Jefferson (D-La.) resign after $90,000 in...

More lefty treason at HuffPo

Posted 27 Aug 2007 in Democrats, George W. Bush, liberals, military, stupidity, treason

For a while now, Daily Kos and Democratic Underground have cornered the market on traitors and rabid Marxists, but Huffington Post has been working hard to get points on the board. Saturday afternoon, columnist Martin Lewis revealed his unhinged hatred of President Bush, as well as his ignorance of history and the Constitution. He posted a letter to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Peter Pace, called General Pace, You Can Save the US – by Arresting Bush for “Conduct Unbecoming” in which he urges a military coup. General Pace – you have the power to fulfill your responsibility to protect the troops under your command. Indeed you have an obligation to do so. You can relieve the President...

Opus makes Muslims say "ack!"

Posted 24 Aug 2007 in dhimmitude, intolerance, Islam, jihadists, media bias, stupidity

As if we needed another reason to love Berke Breathed. But sadly, it’s not allowed to poke fun at radical Islamists and the strip was censored for fear of offending Muslims. (h/t: Milblogs)

Halloween in August

Posted 24 Aug 2007 in pop culture

Although it’s launching two months early, Rob Zombie’s new version of the horror classic Halloween looks pretty damn good. The William Shatner mask looks scarier than ever!

Flock rocks!

Posted 23 Aug 2007 in technology, Twitter

As part of my ongoing leap into this thing called Web 2.0, I’ve adopted a new next-generation web browser that is definitely worth a look. It’s a free app based on the Mozilla engine and it integrates the best of Firefox with a horde of new social networking features that make blogging (and just about everything else I access the internet to do) faster and easier. It’s truly a step forward in the evolution of user interface. For the past week, I’ve found that it streamlines all my accounts I use most often – Twitter, Flickr, Yahoo, Digg, YouTube, MySpace, and Blogger – and makes it quicker to browse my RSS feeds, manage bookmarks, upload and share photos, it...

Rudy misunderstands the 2nd Amendment

Posted 22 Aug 2007 in 2008 election, gun control

As much as I like and respect the guy, this is one of the reasons I’m having a hard time with Rudy Giuliani as a GOP candidate. How can a guy with such a misguided view of Constitutional rights be seriously considered for President? (h/t: Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler) “My position for many years has been that just as a motorist must have a license, a gun owner should be required to have one as well. Anyone wanting to own a gun should have to pass a written exam that shows that they know how to use a gun, that they’re intelligent enough and responsible enough to handle a gun. Should both handgun and rifle owners be licensed…we’re talking about all...

Quote of the day

Posted 22 Aug 2007 in war, wise quotes

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” – John Stuart Mill

Immigration smackdown

Posted 22 Aug 2007 in illegal immigration, liberals

Pam picks apart some whiny liberal talking points by applying logic (and some hard truths about immigration) today over at Blogmeister USA. If Powers believes that going to and fro with no restrictions is a “human right,” I wonder what she would say to a squatter who decided that her home was a nice place to move in to, or a burglar who decided that her nice big television would look nice in his living room. What better way to demonstrate her devotion to the cause? And why stop there? If there is to be no law as to maintaining our borders and managing the immigrant flow, why not go the next step? Why not suspend all law and...
