You've seriously got to be kidding me. Some lawmakers are warning of a voter backlash against members of Congress "trying to protect their own" if party leaders keep escalating a constitutional dispute over the FBI's raid of a representative's office. Yet not long after House Speaker Dennis Hastert and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi demanded on […]

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this week turned back an appeal by parents of some seventh graders against a public school's curriculum that they said indoctrinated students into Christianity. Among the more objectional parts of the program: Students would practice saying prayers and conclude them "in Jesus' name, Amen." Memorization of the Lord's […]

For those of you, like me, too young to remember the Winter Soldier hearings, let me summarize: More than 35 years ago, Vietnam Veterans Against the War held hearings in Detroit where veterans testified to all sorts of atrocities and war crimes being committed by American troops in Vietnam. The vast majority of the "testimony" […]

Your morning funny: Dear President Ahmadinejad, Please forgive this tardy response to your letter of early May. We did not reply at first because we doubted the letter’s authenticity. We suspected that someone was trying to play a trick on you. The discourse, you must admit, is unusual for a communication between heads of state. […]

Harry Reid said that anyone who approved of making English the national language was "racist." This is the same senator who has lied about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' writing abilities in a way that could easily be […]

It's the power that corrupts, not the political party. A congressman under investigation for bribery was caught on videotape accepting $100,000 in $100 bills from an FBI informant whose conversations with the lawmaker also were recorded, according to a court document released Sunday. Agents later found the cash hidden in his freezer. At one audiotaped […]

If you don't follow the left-wing moonbats or various media criticism Web sites you may have missed a May 13 story that "broke" on the left-wing Web site Truthout.org. The story claimed that Bush adviser Karl Rove had been indicted that Friday after his lawyers had a 15 hour meeting with special prosecuter Peter Fitzgerald. […]

I finished Ramesh Ponnuru's book "Party of Death" earlier this week and it's an excellent and easy-to-read book -- one every pro-lifer should have on their bookshelf. "Party of Death" is not a religious treatise -- it doesn't need to be. Instead Ponnuru presents a intellectually rigorous defense of the idea that a human being […]
