North Carolina GOP Ad Link

The New York Times and their erstwhile ally, John McCain, have condemned this ad:


And why, someone tell me, is this issue not legitimate? Mr. Obama's personal relationships are slightly bizarre, to say the least. So far the list of his friends include an unrepentant domestic terrorist, an unrepentant foreign terrorist, and a racist "preacher".

I hope the North Carolina GOP doesn't fold under the pressure, because they are correct to run this ad. The issues are legitimate.

Fitna Link

Here it is, Fitna, the movie by Geert Wilders, of the Netherlands. It took a great amount of personal courage for him to do this film. We will show courage by watching it and acknowleding its fundamental truth.


The West that stood up to Christian extremism several centuries ago must now stand up to Islamic extremism. Nothing less than the freedom of the human mind is at stake.

The link is here. Spread it around.

Al Gore Winning The Nobel Peace Prize Is Like The Pope Being Given An Award By The Catholic Church.

A clear case of singing to the choir. A great roundup of how his detractors feel here. A few good examples:

ScrappleFace: “Although former Vice President Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize this week for his work as a global-warming performance artist, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled early today that President George Bush would receive the gold medal, the diploma and the $750,000.”

BWA HA HA But on a more serious note:

Daimnation: “I would have preferred to see the Prize go to some of the people putting their lives on the line to fight tyranny in Zimbabwe, Burma or the Middle East, but we knew this was coming.”

Exactly. The Nobel committee long ago spoiled the original intent of the prize by putting ideological purity ahead of any real struggle for peace. But everyone knows all of this by now.

The Democrats Find Their Nirvana.

Hide your wallet. The Dems, whose reason for existing seems to be tax increases, are a newly emboldened party. Read this:

But, clearly, times have changed. Democrats are not only offering up programs that would enlarge the reach of the federal government and collect more money from taxpayers, but they’re doing so enthusiastically, confident the American people are on their side.

Interpretation: your taxes are going up. Way up. The Republicans lost there way in the past few years, but reality is getting ready to hit them up side their heads. Let us hope they succeed in reigning the Democtrats in, because we can't afford what they have in mind for us.

Why Do Feminists Support The Clintons?

Andrew Sullivan nails it here:

The man was a perjurer and an abuser of women; she was deeply complicit in all of it, and ultimately used it for her own political advantage. This is who they were.

If ever there has been a misogynist in the White House, Bill Clinton was it. Worse yet, his own wife lead the effort to smear, and destroy if necessary, the reputations of women they knew full well were telling the truth. You cannot find a more cynical devotion to power than that these two people display.

Feminists overlook all of this for ideological reasons. But for the modern Left, ideology seems to trump all other considerations. Like any other cult, the Church Of The Left seeks to control what people think. Pathetic.

They'll probably all end up in prison or dead, but one can hope for them none the less.

Evil, Commemorated.

Che Guevara would have been 79 now had he not been killed in Bolivia forty years ago this month. Probably killing him was a mistake, as it has given him a martyrdom he did not deserve. Che was an extreme Marxist and what he had in mind for the people is a far cry from what they dreamed for themselves. In his words they would no longer be working for themselves but their lives would be dedicated to the preservation of the state. Not much of a bargain.

Che's self incriminating words are everywhere for all to see, but people believe what they choose to believe, and the 20th century fascination with lionizing evil Left Wing despots has sadly not passed from the scene. just witness all of these Hollywood aristocrats with their fashionable Che bracelets and t-shirts.

Coming next, I guess we'll see sandals with Stalin's image on them. From Gucci of course.

For The Clintons, Lying And Deception Are Not Barriers To Government Service.

In the you must be effing kidding department, congenital liars Bill and Hillary Clinton have appointed liar, thief, and all around guy who should be in prison Sandy Berger as an adviser. And why is this a big deal? Read this:

Sandy Berger, who stole highly classified terrorism documents from the National Archives, destroyed them and lied to investigators, is now an adviser to presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Please tell me what the reaction of the frothing at the mouth netroots would be if Karl Rove had been caught doing such a thing? Where are the conspiracy theorists when you need them?

Of course to the Clinton's, lying for political advantage is a badge of honor.

When Is A Theocracy Not A Theocracy?

When someone the liberal press is supporting advocates it.

Just saying.

The Republican Collapse

It is heartening, in a depressing sort of way, to read so many articles attesting to the Republicans new found fealty to what used to be their bedrock reason for existing, namely fiscal restraint when it came to government spending.

Not that anyone takes them seriously, for it is much too little too late. It took the almost complete collapse of their electoral prospects to remind them of who they are, but oh well. David Brooks does a good job of dissecting the internal struggles buffeting the conservative movement here.

The Democrats should only take so much solace in this. The self destruction of the Republicans is the reason for their improved fortunes, not any new public enthusiasm for them or their party. Still, they have a function to play, and that is to take over the functions of government while the Republicans try to figure out who they are and what they stand for. It is impossible now to envision the Republicans doing so while they are in power.

This is one of those watershed moments in the life of a political party that comes around every few decades, where the only hope of a rebirth can come from being out of power and out of influence. They have fallen that far, and conservatives should accept that the best hope for their movement is to lose the next couple of elections. That is just how it is.

Bad News for the Left is Good News for America

That about sums it up for me. The Left lost a big battle when an appeals court ruled in favor of the Defense Department and Yale Law School was forced to allow military recruiters at the school. Good.

Please note that the stick used to bludgeon Yale Law into conformity was the threat of a cutoff of federal funding. This has been an under utilized tool by republican administrations, especially since Democrats have been using the same tool for decades to usurp the powers granted the states by the constitution.

Well done, and long overdue.
