What will the gloom and doom liberals complain about now? Even gas prices aren't affecting Americans as bad as they hoped. NEW YORK — American consumers shrugged off higher gasoline prices in July and grew a bit more optimistic about the economy, a private research group said on Tuesday. The New York-based Conference Board said its confidence index rose to a better-than-expected reading of 106.5 from a revised 105.4 in June. Analysts had expected the index to fall slightly to 104...
I still can't believe how looney these people really are. Peace prize winner 'could kill' Bush Annabelle McDonald 25jul06 NOBEL peace laureate Betty Williams displayed a flash of her feisty Irish spirit yesterday, lashing out at US President George W.Bush during a speech to hundreds of schoolchildren. Campaigning on the rights of young people at the Earth Dialogues forum, being held in Brisbane, Ms Williams spoke passionately about the deaths of innocent children during wartime, pa...
You see the left always complaining about Bush cutting things from the poor. Well it seems they are wrong again. Everybody knows President Bush and the Republican Congress have chopped poverty spending to finance massive tax cuts for their wealthy friends. "The Republican House just voted to slash health care for struggling families, cut college loans for middle-class kids, and take food off the tables of poor children," the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Emp...
One of the stupidest things I see here on JU is the constant accusation that Bush is a dictator. Now this usually comes from the typical liberal posters who base their accusations on emotion instead of fact. That is now common here among the left. Their basis for callling him a dictator is usually that Bush doesn't listen to the people, or the polls. Both are which are ridiculous. One of the things I admire most about the President is that he doesn't listen to polls. He does what he beli...
The media in this country is disgraceful. Al-assocated press never works on facts. The 4th Infantry Division last weekend disputed accounts that thousands had taken to the streets of Baghdad on Friday to praise the Hezbollah terror group and denounce Israel and the United States for the attacks against Lebanon. "A demonstration in Sadr City did not occur," said Lt. Col. Jonathan Withington, the division's spokesman, in an e-mail Saturday from Baghdad. "We had one demonstration in t...
How do you get a ceasefire with terrorists? In an interview with the media, John Bolton asks this question. Now of course the loons on the left will tell us that we must care about the terrorists and they will go back to their peaceful lives.
This is it folks. Now is the time to act with Israel. Hezbollah guerrillas, who are backed by Iran, seized the soldiers Wednesday in a cross-border raid. Israel has since attacked Lebanon by air and sea and has sent in troops to look for the captured soldiers. Israel's foreign ministry said Thursday that Lebanese guerillas holding the two soldiers captive are trying to transfer them to Iran. Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev did not disclose the source of his information. h...
Almost every other we get a new round of articles from our resident radical leftists that in some form blame Bush for something. Now this typical "something" is never backed by fact, only emotion which is usually hatred and obsession. The "facts" people do try to post is usually nothing more than mis-quotes and half-truths. One example is someone accusing Bush of being a real dicator because Bush once made a simple joke about it. If we did live under a dictatorship none of this anti-Bush b...
by Mark Finkelstein July 11, 2006 - 06:52 Q. When are special interest contributions not special interest contributions? A. When they're made to a Democratic candidate. And the Associated Press is reporting on the matter. No political race in my little upstate New York neck of the woods has attracted national attention in a long time - until this year. The retirement of liberal Republican Sherwood Boehlert meant an open seat in New York's 24th Congressional District. The Republi...
Great article about the tax cuts. This week, the White House will revise its fiscal year 2006 budget deficit estimate to roughly $300 billion, a significant reduction from its January forecast of $423 billion. This will continue the White House's pattern of very conservative estimates. Our calculations suggest that the federal budget deficit this year will be approximately $260 billion. This is down from $318 billion in FY-05 and $413 billion in FY-04. Strong gains in tax rece...
Where is that draft that the liberals here said was coming? Even the anti-military liberals and media in this country can't stop people from enlisting. ashington, D.C. (AHN) - Each of the branches of the United States armed forces have met or exceeded their active-duty recruiting goals for the 13th consecutive month. At the Pentagon, Bryan Whitman, deputy assistant secretary of defense for public affairs, confirms, "Active-duty recruiting numbers, both for June and for the first ni...
Well the rest of the MSM knows about hot air, so why not him too? NEW YORK - Tom Brokaw is giving Al Gore some company in the effort to raise awareness of global warming. The former NBC anchorman is host of "Global Warming: What You Need to Know," which doubles as an explainer and call to action for average Americans. It premieres Sunday at 9 p.m. on the Discovery Channel. Brokaw said he has seen and was impressed by "An Inconvenient Truth," Gore's documentary on the subject. "I...
Isn't it hard to believe the DU is the main base of the democrats. Well not really. "What I conclude is that a fairly flimsy steel structure does not distort and bend and collapse very easily from a simple hydrocarbon fire. And thus, it is not clear why the much stronger steel columns in the WTC towers weakened so much from fires that the towers underwent global collapse."

These people are nuts. I can't believe these are the people teaching young adults. Barrett has drawn fire for his plans to teach an Islamic studies course next fall that questions whether the U.S. government was involved in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in Washington, D.C., and New York City. Some state lawmakers, conservative commentators and Republican gubernatorial candidate U.S. Rep. Mark Green have called for Barrett's firing. Doyle, a UW-Madison graduate, said the ...
I knew it wouldn't take long for this. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan urged the UN Security Council on Friday to take a stand on Israel's violent standoff with Hamas, as diplomats continued to grapple with a draft resolution proposed by Qatar. Here is the best part. The council has been stymied because several council members rejected a draft that would have condemned Israel's offensive. They said it was unfairly critical of the Israelis and did not mention Palestinian abus...
