Just in case you seem to think that we are losing the war in Iraq and that no good can come of what we’re doing, read this letter from the Mayor of Tall’Afar, Iraq at the Mudville Gazette. And while you’re reading the part about what these animals do to the bodies of dead children, think of the idiots who have nothing better to do with their lives than to be “outraged” by a stupid cartoon. Then ask yourself to which issue would the outrage be better directed.  Read More →

John Spencer’s website is claiming it has received a unanimous endorsement by the Conservative Party’s Executive Committee to run for Senate against Hillary Clinton. At the same time the former Mayor of Yonkers is ready to test out a new TV ad that attacks Clinton on her terrorism record. The ad focuses on the known Al-Qaeda terrorist Iyman Faris who was found guilty in May 1, 2003 of plotting to blow of up the Brooklyn Bridge, who was discovered through the Presidents NSA wire taps. The ad... Read More→

Yesterday the Department of Education released numbers that showed only 64% of students who started high school in 2001 graduated in four years. For New York City the number was even worse, with only 44% graduating. This number was less then Mayor Bloomberg’s figure of 53% but that’s because the states numbers didn’t take into account students who graduated a month later or those that got GED’s instead. Whether the number is 44% or 53% they’re both unacceptable but should we really be... Read More→

The term dictatorship has been thrown around allot lately in regards to the President and his attempts to protect our nation. Today I came across an article on MSNBC that helps put in perspective what it’s like to live in a country with limited freedom and lack of justice for the average person. In a country where you can sue a Fortune 500 company for spilling hot coffee on yourself while driving, it’s easy to exaggerate about policies that we find obtrusive. The article is about Russia and... Read More→

In President Bush’s recent State of the Union Address he called on America to continue its lead over the world in scientific advancement and research. His comments correspond with those of some of America’s top CEO’s from Intel to General Electric who have called on America to start graduating more engineers, with General Electric’s CEO going as far as to complain that America currently graduates more physical therapists then engineers. Stating, “if America wants to be the massage capital... Read More→

It’s so easy to get caught up with life’s daily events that it’s easy to forget why we’re here. Every once and awhile life gives us those precious moments like today’s snow that put it all into perspective. I just came back inside from shoveling the snow in front of the house with my little guy and we had so much fun. There we were father and son, my big shovel his little Home Depot shovel for kids as we spent quality time making a memory out of something I usually dread. It was so... Read More→

Back in early 2001 Henry Kissinger in his best seller, “Does America Need a Foreign Policy”, wrote in regards to Iraq how “there is no serious effort to restore the U.N. Inspection system” with “several nations, led by Russia, China and France, are in open noncompliance with them”. He also state how “Iraq seems to have become a test case for another French effort to define a European identity distinct from and in opposition to the United States”. Well after seeing those countries... Read More→

With today’s whopping trade deficit number that brought our 2005 trade deficit to over $700 billion, it’s only a matter of time for Democrats to start screaming. How about though we make some observation about trade deficits? First let me be clear that trade deficits don’t matter. Now I’m not talking about budget deficits, which is different than trade deficits that can become a problem. I’m talking about trade deficits, which is when a country imports more than it exports. The interesting... Read More→

I don’t know how we missed this last week but while reading my FT this morning they had an article on Hillary Clinton and the 2008 election. They mentioned how earlier in the week she had to defend a “$10,000 contribution made by her political action committee to Bob Casey, a Democratic candidate for Senate in Pennsylvania who opposes abortion”. Bob Casey Jr.!!! The guy that the Washington Times back in March of 2005 said whose decision to run showed the “deepening divide within the Democratic... Read More→

With the passing of Coretta Scott King, Democrats have been hot to play the race card again going as far as Mrs. King’s funeral to take shots at the President and Republican Party. How about we just take a little look at the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that her husband helped get passed that Democrats have used year in and year out to exploit these same groups for political gains. Interesting many Democrats were actually against the bill, including Albert Gore Sr., Al Gore (the darling of the... Read More→
