Target: United Kingdom

Enough said.

Can't stand the heat? Legislate the Kitchen!

Earlier this week Senator Inhofe, Barbara Boxer's daily sparring partner in the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, told the press a conversation he recalled his nemesis Boxer having with Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton about shutting down, or at least curtailing conservative radio. Evidently, Sens. Boxer and Clinton were outraged at the fact that conservative radio does so well and liberal outfits such as Air America had failed so miserably, and now they were ready to legislate something about it. Both Senators vehemently denied the conversation ever occurred, however, this week Senators Durbin and Kerry have called for a "fairness doctrine" to be implemented, to create national legislation that would make it law to have liberal talk show hosts injected into conservative programs to provide "balance." Conservatives object not only to the intrusion of their workplace, but also to the fact that this alter in programming could affect ratin...

I Told You So

I don't really want to come out and say "I told you so" but, there's no other way to say it. New York Times, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX NEWS (shocker), local affiliates.....9 to 1 journalists are actively involved in leftist politics. Don't forget to check the fine print, these aren't just Democrats getting money, its far left organizations. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19113485 See the "Gore/Lieberman" and "Dems Deploy" posts to see where I'm going with this.

Stepping Up

A few weeks ago, a friend asked me in regards to our upcoming trip to Europe "What should we do if someone tries to pick our pockets or rob us?" I simply replied "Hand over fist ass beating my friend." This might seem a little excessive to our gentler cousins in Europe, who often view American reactions to crimes a bit overboard, but it serves as an effective symbol of what can and will happen if someone tries to violate your person or belongings. In an archaic sense, might makes right. This same "paradigm" is being applied to a lucky number of insurgents in Iraq at this very moment. Although I have recently made mention of the progress made in Iraq with the U.S. military effectively opening up to tribal leaders in the Anbar province, who reciprocated in kind by expelling Al Qaeda from their region, there are still regions which contain die hard jihadists. These last vestiges of the fascist Islamic movement in Iraq, which have no hope or desire for r...

Gore/Lieberman: Violent Neo-cons?

There should be very little discussion about the actual presence of a liberal bias in the news media today. Everyone more or less accepts the fact that it exists, and for better or worse, as a product of those who choose a profession that Bob Knight once dubbed as "two or three steps above prostitution." Just like a gifted athelete on a popular sports team who is oftentimes bombastic, tendencies of those in the profession of journalism to lean towards the left is tolerated because it is seen as a byprodcut of their profession itself. Because a journalist's job includes asking questions and demanding accountability, most people, especially Americans, appreciate this bias because it means never accepting exactly what the government tells its populace, thus providing oversight. However, in the year 2007, it is now also painfully obvious that a double standard exists within liberal journalistic circles, and that oversight is not only desperatley lacking, its becoming nigh...

Progress Report

All across the Southern California valley this month, residents of such a beautiful piece of geography are going to be experiencing what is known as "June gloom," or the onset of foggy conditions brought on by the jet streams and westerly winds. Therefore, I thought it would be prudent to provide some June anti-gloom, or just good old fashioned good news. The war in Iraq has been a source of worldwide gloom running for almost 4 years now, with casualty figures far greater than what we expected, and a John Edwards shopping spree-esque price. That said, any good news coming from Iraq is worth noting, especially when it involves its own citizens rising up against the terrorists now lurking out in those long, dark Arabian nights. I'll spare you the loyal reader from having to put up with more of my rant, while saving myself the time of regurgitating it, by posting the links to the articles below. And just so there's no "conservative bias" charges coming fro...
