So President Bush puts the Army’s top expert on counter-insurgency in charge of our forces in Iraq, and begins sending him additional troops to help pacify Baghdad. The politically-correct “rules of engagement” that have prevented the troops from doing their jobs effectively are lightened. Al-Qaeda in Iraq’s leader is reportedly wounded, and his deputy killed. Moqtada al-Sadr suddenly remembers a pressing engagement in Iran, hikes up his robes and runs for the border. 

Smarting from the bankruptcy of Air America, Democrats are planning a fresh assault on the First Amendment in order to squash conservative talk radio. With Al Franken and his buddies having flopped in the free market competition for radio listeners, liberals in Congress are planning to dredge up the old Fairness Doctrine, an abandoned FCC regulation that would require broadcasters to give equal airtime on controversial issues to opposing viewpoints. This is nothing more than a liberal power play to “Hush Rush”.

Station WODD, Chicago, USA.  - Broadcaster: “Hello everybody, I’m William Slatterby, host of the show everybody’s talking about, “The Why Behind the Why.” This week we’ll be looking into a question that has confounded citizens since the beginning of time, or at least since the 1960s. Our 20 dollar question today is, “Do feminists have a sense of humor?”

The Washington Post ran a February 1, 2007 story about a prostitution ring in Maryland, leaving the impression that American citizens were transporting illegal immigrant women across the U.S. and exploiting them for sexual purposes. In fact, the prostitution ring was itself run by illegal immigrants.

I know, I know, the Cold War is over, the Soviet Union is kaput, what’s left of Russia is just a huge cumbersome land area, with lots of leftover missiles, and a pipsqueak named Putin now running the show. But don’t shove this information under the rug.  Russia still has plenty of schmozzle when it comes to military might.

Very good, but not excellent or superb.

Given the successes of those states issuing concealed carry permits to citizens, I suggest a nationwide pilot program: the repeal of all anti-gun laws - all 22,000 of them - for a period of five years. This includes a moratorium on all new gun laws for five years, and suspension of all court cases pending for weapons charges with the exception of violent crimes involving a gun. Owning a certain kind of rifle is considerably different from holding up a liquor store with a gun.

A top Democratic Party foreign policy specialist said on Friday that a “very small group” of conservatives is unfairly accusing him of being at the center of a “vast conspiracy” to implement the idea of a “North American Union” by “stealth.” He called the charges “absurd.”

There’s a noticeable element in our society that is anarchistic. They walk around with a bad attitude, intimidating those around them whom their see are beneath them in their weird, sadistic pecking order.

We all remember the embarrassing list of presidential pardons that finalized Bill Clinton’s legacy of sleaze. It was a tawdry list of 145 drug dealers, income tax evaders and the notorious Marc Rich, who fled the United States in the midst of his trial on charges of making oil deals with Iran during the hostage crisis.

Families in the United States lost 3,200 of their beloved children in the past five years to fight a bogus war in the Middle-East. We lost a similar number of our best and brightest in the 9/11 massacre. Both groups gave their lives as a direct result of our national penchant for imperialism.

We hear it from some religious pulpits, and we think it’s the ‘gospel’ truth. But the real truth is you never really know what a Catholic believes, unless you are one. Unfortunately the majority religion of Congress is Catholic, but you’d never know by the legislation delivered.

I recently had the pleasure of being asked to speak at one of our institutions of higher education on the subject of cultural assimilation of ethnic / immigrant groups. The organizer of this series of culturally relevant topics just happened to be searching for a qualified speaker in this area when my publisher’s intrepid Book Publicist, Kelly Hansen (credit where credit is due) just happened to give the lady a call. It’s one of those things that occurs purely coincidentally, of course, unless one believes in God or some other such rubbish.

"Compromise makes a good umbrella, but a poor roof; it is a temporary expedient, often wise in party politics, almost sure to be unwise in statesmanship.” --James Russell Lowell

The US National Guard has been insanely prohibited from using its weapons against armed drug dealers and others at the US-Mexico border.  They have been warned that they are to only provide support for the US Border Patrol.  This dictate came from the US government and, presumably, the Mexican government as well.  Now, Democrat leaders are planning to apply this policy to US troops fighting terrorists in Iraq.
