Brooklyn Assemblyman Dov Hikind is not backing down from his controversial request that local law enforcement officials use ethnic profiling in their fight against terrorism. Hikind is urging the New York Police Department to use terrorist profiling when it conducts subway bag searches. In a statement released Sunday, Hikind said that "We have to give the NYPD every single tool in the war on terrorism. It's a fact of life that the London suicide bombers on July 7th and July 21st fit a...

This is impossible. Democrats told me Repbulicans were responsible for all the fraud. The American Center For Voting Rights Legislative Fund ("ACVR Legislative Fund") today released the most comprehensive and authoritative review of the facts surrounding allegations of vote fraud, intimidation and suppression made during the 2004 presidential election. The ACVR Legislative Fund report, "Vote Fraud, Intimidation & Suppression In The 2004 Presidential Election," finds that while Demo...

I think most people can agree the ACLU has turned into a far left organization that goes against what most people think. The list of cases of their attacks on Christianity, their protection of islam, and their constant interference in stopping terrorism has finally hit it point. Bill O'Reilly is probably one of the only people in the media that will take on organizations like the ACLU. The ACLU's latest tactic against the war on terror is now sueing New York to stop random searches of pas...

This is the second post like this because the first one nobody seemed to provide any proof of the accusations against Bush. So today as usual we have the col with his usual post of "Bush lied" rhetoric. So here in this post I want document, verifiable proof that Bush intentionally lied, or misled the people. No conspiracy theories, no rhetoric. As well you can also post proof that he didn't lie. Let's begin.

I wonder what the liberals who blame Bush for not stopping Sept. 11 have to say about this. Nothing probably. WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 - State Department analysts warned the Clinton administration in July 1996 that Osama bin Laden's move to Afghanistan would give him an even more dangerous haven as he sought to expand radical Islam "well beyond the Middle East," but the government chose not to deter the move, newly declassified documents show.

Will the left realize that terrorism was made worse by democrats? It was in October of 2003 that Clinton National Security Adviser Sandy Berger stole classified documents from the National Archives and destroyed some. Mr. Berger allegedly was studying documents in the archives to help prepare Clinton officials to testify before the September 11 Commission. Was he removing references to Able Danger? Someone should ask him before he is sentenced next month. After having first deni...

I was just reading through some old posts and came across the postings of our resident radicals here. These posts are the usual "blame everything on oil" lunatics that believe the war in Iraq was to get cheap oil. Now the leftists try to say Iraq was an "oil war" and constantly talk about the suffering of the Iraqis because of the war. As usual the liberals have selective outrage. We see the U.N. was in the middle of the biggest scams in history involving oil. We see the people of Iraq ...

Welfare programs have been one of the biggest problems in todays society, and it keeps growing. Welfare programs do not help people, they make people rely on the government and that mindset is one of the biggest problems going today. I would like to see most welfare programs eliminated or severely cut. Now as the '08 election heats up democrats will no doubt use welfare/entitlement programs to pander to their base, which is what they typically do during every election cycle. Unfortunatel...

Good news. WASHINGTON - The Labor Department reported Thursday that consumer prices rose by 2.5 percent in 2006, the best showing since prices had increased by just 1.9 percent in 2003. The improvement came in spite of the fact that consumer prices jumped 0.5 percent in December, as gasoline prices staged a momentary rebound. The slowdown in inflation translated into more spending power for Americans. The government said average weekly earnings for non-supervisory workers rose by 2.1...

Don't listen to the gloom and doom crowd who cheer for democrats to raise taxes.  Worst economy since Hoover, poorer getting poorer, blah...blah...blah. WASHINGTON - The economy entered the new year in pretty good shape, with most parts of the country enjoying moderate growth, businesses boosting hiring and workers getting bigger paychecks. That mostly positive snapshot of business conditions around the country, released by the Federal Reserve on Wednesday, comes as the Uni...

Despite the obsessive rhetoric of people who desire nothing more than to blame Bush for everything, U.S. along with Afghan forces are making progress in the fight against jihadist coming in from Pakistan.There is still work to do, and there are some problems, but it is not out of control like propagandists want you to think. In spring and summer of 2006, Taliban fighters reasserted themselves in isolated communities in the country. However, U.S. and NATO forces pushed the Taliban fighters ...

Well it looks like Sen. Obama is tossing his hat in the ring also. I wonder what Hillary was doing this morning?

The rich are getting richer, nobody can find a job, worst economy since Hoover.  Blah, Blah, Blah. The gap between rich and poor -- a rallying cry for some congressional Democrats wanting to increase mandates on business -- isn't really growing that much, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. From 2001 to 2005 -- the last year data was available -- there was virtually no statistical change in income inequality, based on a statistical test by the Census Bureau, requested a...

You will constantly find the left referring to "polls" which they try to use to make people believe they are right.  However, polls have been shown to be media-driven, biased, and oversampled usually in favor of democrats.  So our liberal friends here seem to proclaim that since a poll shows a majority it should somehow become the way of law. How about we take a poll  and ask 1000 people if they prefer to live under sharia law?  In true media fashion we would obviousl...
