I'm hearing now al qaeda is claiming responsibility. Another terrorist attack by the followers of the "religion of peace". LONDON - Three explosions rocked the London subway and one tore open a packed double-decker bus during the morning rush hour Thursday.

As usual, democrats will obstruct for no reason. Senate Judiciary Committee member Chuck Schumer got busy plotting away on the cellphone aboard a Washington, DC-New York Amtrak -- plotting Democrat strategy for the upcoming Supreme Court battle. Schumer promised a fight over whoever the President’s nominee was: "It's not about an individual judge… It's about how it affects the overall makeup of the court." The chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee was overheard...

It never ceases to amaze me the accusations democrats and liberals constantly make with no proof or evidence to backup their claims. Here is a quote I'm am borrowing from Dr. Guy. His article about this is here. Link "The president is a liar," she continued. "Dick Cheney, the chief architect of the Big Lie, is not only a liar, he is a thief." She accused Cheney of helping his former company Halliburton rake off illicit war profits in Iraq. Now this lie that she is telling is com...

Teachers need to carry guns to protect themselves from the "religion of peace". School teachers in Thailand's troubled southern provinces will be allowed to carry guns, the government has said. The move is one of a series of measures designed to keep education staff from leaving the violence-hit south. Many of the region's teachers are thought to have either stopped working or demanded a transfer from the area. More than 700 people, including at least 24 teachers, have been ...

Here's another story you won't see in the MSM. If this was the Republican party, the media would be going crazy. Jury Convicts Five in Federal Vote Fraud ASSOCIATED PRESS EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (AP) - A federal jury Wednesday convicted the chairman of the city's Democratic Party and four others of scheming to buy votes with cash, cigarettes and liquor last November. Prosecutors relied largely on secretly recorded audiotapes in which they say the accused could be heard talking a...

According to Kennedy's standards, he should be in jail right now. But he's a liberal democrat, the media will never make him "accountable". ''This is a difficult and challenging profession. No one should come to it lightly. As it should be. People have to be held accountable, professionally, and the public is looking at it in terms of private lives, as well. Everything is fair game."

It's Bush's fault. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Robust home building and stronger exports helped the economy expand at a faster-than-expected 3.8 percent annual rate in the first quarter, the Commerce Department said Wednesday as it revised its growth estimate up for a second straight time. Initially, the department said gross domestic product -- the broadest measure of total economic activity within the nation's borders -- grew at a 3.1 percent rate in the first quarter, but it pushed that...

These documents, although not proven to have really existed, have surfaced. Since people insist that a memo which was typed up by a reporter is fact, are these real also? Think about it.

Comparing America to the worst dictators in History is ok. Comparing America to Hitler is ok. But now democrats want someone to apologize over this. Who keeps telling me that Republicans are "out of touch" again? Democrats are demanding that White House adviser Karl Rove immediately retract and apologize for comments that liberals responded to the Sept. 11 terrorist strikes by wanting to ``prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.'' ``The one thin...

Maybe I should wait on buying a Mac. Apple's decision to abandon IBM PowerPC chips in favor of processors from Intel raises the possibility of new, affordable Apple computers that could boot both Mac OS X and Windows. "Apple will not do anything to prevent it," says Michael Gartenberg, vice president and research director with Jupiter Research in New York. (Today, Macs can run Windows only on a sluggish x86 emulator called Virtual PC.) Link

I have asked our resident leftists many times if they take the time to read and research the good things coming from Iraq. Not one has answered the question. Many of the people here make the standard accusations of how things are going in Iraq. I believe they base their opinions on two things, one is the media who is against the war and our troops, and the second is the usual rhetoric that is on left wing websites. There is a person here who continually posts good news about Iraq, and ...

Anybody want to guess what party most of the "no" votes came from? WASHINGTON - Culminating years of frustration with the performance and behavior of the United Nations, the House voted Friday to slash U.S. contributions to the world body if it does not substantially change the way it operates. The 221-184 vote, which came despite a Bush administration warning that such a move could actually sabotage reform efforts, was a strong signal from Congress that a policy of persuasion wasn't...
