In the wake of the "Trent Lott Stupidity," there was a landslide of denunciations from both conservative and liberal columnists -- as there should have been. There's a discussion that needs to take place in America regarding race. In the nearly 40 years since the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, America has come […]
The DNC's Donna Brazille is on CNN right now and has said, without rebuttal from Bay Buchanon, that the Bush Tax cut has been "pushing the economy down." Some economists have claimed that the tax cut hasn't helped the economic situation, and have basically said it has had no effect on the overall economy. But […]
Tuesday's New York Times op-ed page has a piece by Congressman Charles Rangel advocating a return of the draft. If you remember a few months back, some anti-war protesters were attacking "chicken hawks," identified as pro-war-on-Iraq Republicans (mainly) who had never served in the military in a combat situation (i.e. you must have been shot […]
On Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor," last night, with Cal Thomas sitting in for Bill, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) outlined the Democratic strategy for attacking the Bush administration's handling of the War on Terror: They got the Patriot Act. I voted for it.

The people voted. Let the fun begin! Which brings me another opportunity to point […]
You can read his latest here, at OpinionJournal.com. It's about doomed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. In his summary of Kerry's faults, (the fact that he's a Massachusetts liberal is at the top) Steyn points out that Kerry is opposed to the death penalty. Steyn points out the twisted logic Kerry displayed on a recent […]
The Democratic Party has long proclaimed itself the friend of the "average American," taking the side of the "people against the powerful." But, that's the face they show the public, with the connivance of the national media -- The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN. The hidden face, is […]
And I'm becoming convinced that he will find it very difficult to win the Democratic nomination, let alone the presidency, should he choose to run for President again. He still came across as arrogant and professorial -- something that hurt him in the debates and the last election. George Stephanopoulos did an solid job questioning […]
Sen. John Kerry (Super-D - Mass.) kicks off his campaign for his party's 2004 presidential nomination by taking aim at the Bush tax cut. "The largest cost of the Bush tax giveaway will not be borne by any of us here today -- it will be paid for by our children. We're borrowing from Social […]
