Contrarian Reading Issues

There is an interesting piece making the rounds of the internet(s) for the Left. Goes something like this: While talking with audience participants, the president met Mary Mornin, a woman in her late fifties who told the president she was a divorced mother of three, including a ‘mentally challenged’ son. The President comforted Mornin on […]

FDR supports privatization

Say it ain’t so, Teach, say it ain’t so: In a Jan. 17, 1935, address to Congress, Roosevelt, the originator of the federal retirement system, looked into the future and saw the need to move beyond the pay-as-you go financing and eventually establish "self-supporting annuity plans," noted Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund. "For perhaps […]

Gonzales Confirme-Libs lose more of their base

Good new all around. Alberto Gonzales was confirmed today as Attorney General, the first ever hispanic to gain that position. In an off note, it is a shame that everyone, including myself, has to note that. Continuing the good news, the Dems continue to piss off their base by voting against him. The Senate voted […]

My Tax Refund Challenge

The Democrats ultimate answer for everything seems to be "raise taxes." Now they are saying "roll back the tax break on the wealthy and give it to the Social Security fund." Yeah, that will work. I’m sure the Congress Critters on both sides of the aisle will never touch that money. So, here is my […]

A Democratic Distraction

Congressional Demorats obviously do not like President Bush’s push for Social Security reform. They are up in arms about it, and bloviating furiously. "We are willing to talk with the president when he has a plan" for Social Security, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada said as the White House geared up for an […]

Kennedy Goes Gore

Ted Kennedy made his speech yesterday, which most have heard of. I find it amazing that a senior Democratic Senator would, 3 days before the elections in Iraq, criticize not only President Bush, but our military troops in the field. Furthermore, I find it unseeming to make these claims, which, in essence, give aid and […]

I Thought Hillary Was Playing Conservative?

All the talk of Cankles Clinton remaking herself into a Conservative, or at least moderate, Demorat, are just that: talk. She can make herself out to be what she isn’t, but when push comes to shove, she shows her true colors (Socialist Pink): Sen. Hillary Rodham Moonbat Clinton complained the Bush administration is shortchanging family […]

4 1/2 Hours of Being Out of Touch

This is truly great. For 4 1/2 hours today, Senate Democrats will line up with their anti-war rants. Today, the Senate meets for 9 hours, half the time to each Party. And, sure, they are entitled to their opinions. But, first, is this the time and place? The meeting is supposed to be about Dr. […]

More Proof of Fraud in Washinton

From the Seattle Times (hat tip to Michele Malkin) Scores of convicted felons voted illegally in the state’s 2004 general election, and officials never noticed because of serious flaws in the system for tracking them, The Seattle Times has found. The Times, reviewing felony convictions as far back as 1997, identified 129 felons in King […]

Lavish Inauguration?

Not according to Rob at Say Anything: But a review of the cost for past inaugurations shows Mr. Bush’s will cost less than President Clinton’s second inauguration in 1997, which cost about $42 million. When the cost is adjusted for inflation, Mr. Clinton’s second-term celebration exceeds Mr. Bush’s by about 25 percent. According to the […]
