Former Bush administration DOJ offiial John Yoo made an appearance on The Daily Show to discuss waterboarding with Jon Stewart. Yoo was instrumental in clearing the way for the Defense Department to categorize al Qaeda terrorists as enemy combatants, therefore not subject to the Geneva Conventions. He also offered legal opinion which allowed the CIA [...]

The al Qaeda terrorists who planned and executed the NYC and Pentagon attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 weren’t members of a sophisticated international crime ring. They were members of a worldwide terrorist group bent on destroying America and the West. They valued the senseless act of mass murder over the value of their own lives. [...]

In fact, the American Right is brainy and certainly enormous, considering that the majority of citizens identify with conservative principles. If conservatism fails then America fails. Period. Steven Hayward of The Washington Post thinks conservatism has an intellectual problem: Today, however, the conservative movement has been thrown off balance, with the populists dominating and the [...]

You remember Sen. Roland Burris (D-IL), don’t you? He was appointed by scandal ridden Gov. Blagojevich to fill Obama’s senate seat. Obviously another famous son of Chicago, and I can understand why he’d be extremely disappointed that the city would not host the 2016 Olympic Games. But to blame Bush? Come on, Sen. Burris, get [...]

There is no denying that President Bush was one of the worst spenders during his presidency and that’s a record many Republicans and Bush supporters are not proud of, but now there’s cause for concern as President Obama’s massive government programs are projected to overshadow even Bush’s expenditures on the Iraq War. According to the [...]

President Obama will reverse the previous administration’s commitment to establish a missile shield in Eastern Europe — specifically Poland and the Czech Republic —  to protect the region from growing ballistic missile threats: This decision was guided by two principal factors. First, we have updated our intelligence assessment of Iran’s missile programs, which emphasizes the [...]

Is Attorney General Eric Holder acting on his own in pursuing an investigation of CIA personnel involved in the Enhanced Interrogation Program during the Bush administration? I seriously doubt it. I’m sure President Obama is calling the shots even though they are putting up the facade that the president is against looking in the past. [...]

The White House Office of Management and Budget projects the federal deficit to be $9 trillion over the next 10 years. That’s pretty scary, but columnist Jill Lawrence, whom I suspect is an Obama supporter, couldn’t help but point fingers at President Bush: What they are not discussing is how we ended up in a hole [...]

The courage and genius of President Bush, as told by a U.S. Marine. Share and Enjoy:

Dana Perino pens a touching piece remembering White House press secretary Tony Snow who died of cancer in 2008. I’ve always enjoyed Snow’s programs on Fox News. He was a great choice as the press secretary for the Bush administration. It was TV’s loss, but the nation’s gain for him to be a civic servant. [...]

President Obama is avoiding release of stern statements regarding the civilian uprising in Iran after the election a week ago. Yes, it has been a week, and brave Iranians are still risking harrassment, injury, and death to protest on the streets. But President Obama is afraid of offending Tehran by condemning violence against civilians. In [...]

President Bush in his January 2002 State of the Union address, labeled North Korea, Iran, and Iraq the “Axis of Evil” for their role in sponsoring global terrorism. Iraq is now a young democracy after the U.S. invasion which topped Saddam. Now with the recent mass protests in Iran, are we about to witness a [...]

So there you have it. The Electronic Frontier Foundation says President Obama’s DOJ is even worse than President Bush’s. What really rubs the EFF lawyers the wrong way? Sad as that is, it’s the Department Of Justice’s second argument that is the most pernicious. The DOJ claims that the U.S. Government is completely immune from [...]

Realizing that he was wrong about our victory in Iraq, President Obama has sought to make his military mark in Afghanistan with the help of NATO allies. Unfortunately, his efforts fall short: Gordon Brown was the only one to offer substantial help. He offered to send several hundred extra British soldiers to provide security during [...]

There is trouble in the domestic front — V.P. Joe Biden’s family and by extension, the White House family. Somebody has video of Ashley Biden, or somebody who resembles her, at a party enjoying a few lines of cocaine. If the video is truly evidence of Ashley’s drug use, then we can expect the standard [...]
