The Dumb Dick Durbins of the world should take a look at what real torture looks like -- that done by the communist Chinese. Ngawang Sangdrol was just 13 when she was first imprisoned by China in Tibet. She was so small her prison guards found it easy to pick her up by the legs […]
I made my way over to the Democrat National Committee Web site last week in the wake of the release of their report showing that no vote fraud occurred in Ohio. This isn't about that. This is about channeling moonbats. You see, when I went to the DNC Web site, I encountered this graphic: It's […]
Presidential adviser Karl Rove Wednesday night called liberals soft on terrorism. Thursday, Democrats demanded Rove's head on a platter. Capt. Ed has helpfully gathered quotes and links that unfortunately document liberal wimpiness on the war on terror, including MoveOn.org's petition in the immediate aftermath of 9/11: "We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of the United […]
It appears as though Bush Derangement Syndrome can be fatal. An avid atheist, he studied the bible [sic] and religion with more fervor than most Christians. He had strong political opinions and followed Amy Goodman's radio broadcast "Democracy Now." Alas the stolen election of 2000 and living with right-winged Americans finally brought him to his […]
I just saw the most incredible bit of video on Fox News' "Special Report with Brit Hume." Democratic senators Chuck Schumer and Jeff Bingaman were holding a press conference stating that Democrats would continue to keep their heads buried in the sand regarding Social Security's funding crisis as long as President Bush holds the belief […]
Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin "apologized" on the Senate floor yesterday -- sort of. "More than most people, a Senator lives by his words, words are the coin of the realm in our profession. Occasionally words will fail us and occasionally we will fail words." "On June 14, I took the floor of the Senate to […]
Jon Henke over at Q&O highlights some spin from the lefty "think" tank the Center for American Progress on the Social Security crisis. NEW PRIVATIZATION PLAN WOULD EXPLODE FEDERAL DEFICIT: The Wall Street Journal claims that the proposal (which it calls "political jujitsu") would "create no new debt for the government." That's not true. Right […]
Four years ago, California's insurance commissioner, Republican Chuck Quackenbush, resigned in disgrace after it was discovered that he let several insurance companies avoid billions of dollars in fines in return for "donations" to a non-profit foundation that he ran. This same foundation conveniently used Quackenbush in "public service announcements" designed to boost his visibility and […]
Volokh co-conspirator and the only person to gratuitously use my name in a newspaper column, David Kopel has a sensible suggestion on having a reasonable discussion on Guantanamo Bay. The more plausible analogy to Guantanamo is British interrogation of Irish Republican Army suspects in the early 1970s. Then, the British extracted confessions through "the five […]
Sen. Dick "U.S. troops are like Nazis" Durbin might find it enlightening to read this New York Times story which describes what torture really is -- and it doesn't involve Christina Aguilera. When marines [sic] burst in, one of the captives was lying under a stairwell, badly beaten. At first, they thought he was dead. […]
