You often have to point out to Democrats that elections have consequences. There's a Republican president and a GOP-controlled Senate, therefore you're going to get conservative judges -- that's all there is to it. The Palestinians who voted the terrorist group Hamas into power also need to realize this basic fact, and they shouldn't be […]
When Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone died several years ago, his funeral was not about him, it was about Democrat politics. A genial guy who was liked by even his political opponents was used to paint Republicans as evil. When it came to deciding whether to remember Wellstone or attack Republicans, too often attack Republicans won […]
There should be no doubt that the Palestinian Authority is a corrupt terrorist organization. It was when Yasser Arafat (condition stable after dying in a Paris hospital) was running things. It was when his Fatah party continued holding power after his death. And it will continue to be now that Hamas -- an organization that […]
I must confess that I wholeheartedly agree with John Weidner's assessment of the remarks of certain Democrats. Can you imagine, can you even imagine Republicans instantly denouncing President Roosevelt for speaking defiance to the Nazis or the Japanese? "It was foolish for the president to brag openly about winning the Battle of Midway. His 'bring […]
Former President Jimmy Carter apologized yesterday for his failure to take strong action more than 25 years ago when Islamic terrorists overran the American embassy in Tehran, Iran, and held Americans hostage for more than a year. "My failure to take decisive action gave terrorists the impression that America was weak," Carter told the Baptist […]
Former President Jimmy Carter -- who should stick to building houses with Habitat for Humanity -- has joined the chorus of the shallow and ignorant by calling for the closure of the terrorist holding facility at Guantanamo Bay. In comments broadcast on Fox News, Carter had a list of things that could be done with […]
When the American people narrowly elected Jimmy Carter president in 1976, his victory was attributed to widespread outrage at the illegal behavior of former President Richard Nixon. Carter was seen as an honest man -- and that was what mattered. After four years of malaise and general incompetence, he was turned out of office. He […]
Last week, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro took a fall and broke his knee and arm (if I remember correctly). I seldom take joy in other people's suffering -- except when they're an oppressive, murdering dictator -- so I was happy to see Castro in pain. Courtesy of Jay Nordlinger at National Review comes this bit […]
Last year, the euroweenies who award the Nobel Peace Prize decided to give it to former U.S. President Jimmy Carter -- not for any work he's done, but as an effort to stick it to President George W. Bush. This year, they've given it to a nutjob who believes that AIDS was created by evil […]
Last month, the people of Venezuela went to the polls to vote on whether or not to recall their strong-arm, Castro-loving dictator Hugo Chavez. Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan citizens had signed petitions to bring the issue to a vote -- and then a massive fraud occurred. Exit polls had the recall effort succeeding by […]
