Exclusive footage gives rare insight into life in al Qaeda insurgency

Given how grotesquely liberal and crappy the BBC News was when I lived overseas, I wasn’t feeling too keen on giving France24 the time of day. Let’s face it; thanks to toads like Jacques Chirac, a lot of my fellow Americans, expatriates included, considered the French to be, as that lovely sorbiquet goes… ‘Cheese-eating surrender [...]

Article Roundup for June 11, 2010

Much to catch up on! Iran and the ‘Freedom Recession’ – Fouad Ajami of the Wall Street Journal comments on the wretched response of the current president to the plight of Iranian dissidents being crushed by the mullahs. The Cuckoo’s Nest – David Harsanyi of the Denver Post mocks the bitching and moaning of leftists [...]

Rush Limbaugh: I know I’ll be destroyed eventually

I find it rather hard to believe that someone as so powerful and ubiquitous to political discussion such as Rush Limbaugh would consider himself a target for destruction. For the past 20 years, he has swatted the gnats who attack him with ease and amusement. If he was ever marked for destruction, it probably would [...]

The Long and Foggy War

Liberals continue to prove what a clueless lot they are. It is as if the concept that a supporter of Al Qaeda would want to actually kill Americans indiscriminately is too mind-bogglingly unbelievable for these people to grasp. Cliff May at TownHall.com writes on The Long and Foggy War, an apt title for the left’s [...]

Another liberal publication fails

Robert Moon reports on the fall of yet another liberal rag, Newsweek. They’re up for sale as they’ve performed poorly over the years, namely because they have a huge credibility problem. Hugh Hewitt has half-joked about pooling investors to buy the rag, but as far as I’m concerned, the brand name is ruined. Here’s a [...]

Defending Glenn Beck

David Solway of Pajamas Media pecks out a fair apologia for TV host Glenn Beck. Though I don’t agree with everything Beck says, his detractors look like lunatics when they barrage him with insults, and lose any credibility they may have had if they would have stuck to a fair argument against the man.

Hugh Hewitt on Donny Deutsch, Keith Olbermann and MSNBC

Score one for Hugh Hewitt, though it comes at a cost.  While I loathe the idiocy that comes from the mouths of people like Keith Olbermann and Ed Schultz, it seems not only harsh but stupid for them to fire Donny Deutsch for not running to the defense of simpletons, even though he tried to [...]

Rhodes View of Why People Listen to Rush: ‘He’s on Every Radio Station – They Have No Choice’

Funny how a drunk and a no-talent hack can bitch about the evils of Rush Limbaugh performing mind-control over us hapless barbarians on the conservative end of the political spectrum. Are these hags serious? Perhaps if liberals put out a product worth hearing, people would go to them. Thankfully, their hatred of the common business [...]

At Last, Misson Accomplished In Iraq

Not a peep from the lame-streamers. Surprised? I thought not.

The Obama/Baier Interview

It boggles the mind that leftist hacks would be so foolish as to attempt to paint Brett Baier, the Fox News journalist who recently interviewed President Obama, as a badgering idiot in the same way someone like Chris Matthews or Keith Olbermann would be portrayed by the left. What interview were these people watching? What [...]
