Folks, our troops are coming home, and not with their tails between their legs as the lefties wanted, but with heads held high:
While Americans sat down for Thanksgiving dinner deciding what they were thankful for, the Iraqi parliament Thursday passed an agreement with the U.S. that set a date certain for American withdrawal, as war [...]

Victory in Iraq: Something to be Thankful For
30 November 2008That’s a Navy SEAL, All The Way!
29 November 2008This almost speaks for itself, but it’s worth noting that this sign appears on the door of a hospital room (not sure where, probably due to OpSec). See below… SecDef Gates says this is at Bethesda National Naval Medical Center… good place for a wounded SEAL.
I’d say that SEAL has the right attitude.
And a tip [...]
Black Friday Takes On New Meaning
28 November 2008…and it’s not a good meaning.
Two people were gunned down and killed Friday inside a Toys R Us in Palm Desert, Calif., authorities said.
Riverside County sheriff’s Sgt. Dennis Gutierrez said Palm Desert police got a call saying shots had been fired inside the store around 11:35 a.m.
One juvenile is in custody, according to unconfirmed [...]
Prayer Request
27 November 2008Update and Epilogue (by PhyCon 11:45PM 11/27/08 – at the top so you don’t have to read everything below this):
At this time of year I have always looked forward to the constellation Orion being in the sky. He and I have had some great conversations over the years, albeit, a bit one-sided. As a child I [...]
Osama’s Christmas Message to America
25 November 2008I just had to share:
A tip of Santa’s hat to My Pet Jawa.
Hannity and Colmes No Longer
24 November 2008Alan Colmes is leaving H&C at the end of the year.
Fox News announced that after 12 years, Alan Colmes will be leaving the top-rated “Hannity & Colmes” at the end of the year.
“I approached Bill Shine (FNC’s Senior Vice President of Programming) earlier this year about wanting to move on after 12 years to develop [...]
Obama Administration Shaping Up to be Clinton’s Third Term
24 November 2008Lotta former Clinton appointees being put forward by The One… as noted by The American Spectator’s Philip Klein:
I spent the election doing a lot of spectualting over whether Obama would merely be a center-left president in the Clinton mold — i.e., one who enjoys short-term political success while failing to [...]
Food For Thought
24 November 2008When one declares oneself to be a conservative, one is not, unfortunately, thereupon visited by tongues of fire that leave one omniscient. The acceptance of a series of premises is just the beginning. After that, we need constantly to inform ourselves, to analyze and to think through our premises and their ramifications. We need to [...]
Americans Clueless About Government
21 November 2008This is scary:
“Our study raises significant questions about whether citizens who voted in this year’s landmark presidential election really understand how our system of representative democracy works,” said Dr. Richard Brake, ISI’s Director of University Stewardship.
Lt. General Josiah Bunting III, the chairman of ISI’s National Civic Literacy Board, describes his initial reaction to these results [...]
VDH: Advice to Conservatives
21 November 2008The ever-readable Victor Davis Hanson has some very good advice for the GOP, and specifically the conservatives in the GOP, about how to bring home a victory in future elections. His summary gives a good hint of how the rest of the article goes:
The key is not to abandon conservative positions, but to explain them [...]
AG Mukasey Collapses; The Left Wishes Him Ill.
21 November 2008Last night Attorney General Michael Mukasey had stroke-like symptoms and collapsed during a speech before the Federalist Society. He appears to be doing well after being rushed to the hospital.
Of course, those bastions of tolerance, DailyKOS and the DemocraticUnderground, wasted no time in wishing him ill and denouncing those few among their number that were [...]
While You’re Giving Thanks, How About Giving to Those who Help Insure Your Freedom?
20 November 2008From now until Thanksgiving day the folks at Soldiers’ Angels are running a friendly competition between teams named for the various branches of the US Armed Forces. All the funds, regardless of which team gets credit for the donation, go to provide voice activated laptops and other assistive technology to our wounded service members.
In honor [...]
Sorry, GM. Reid Looks Like He Wasn’t Impressed
20 November 2008That’s the way I read this story, at least:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Wednesday that they would try to work out a Thursday vote on a House measure that would extend unemployment insurance, a move that would signal the end of the week’s lame-duck session.
Reid filed [...]
Meet America’s New Attorney General: Eric Holder.
20 November 2008More Hope and Change from The One. For Attorney General, he picks a guy who tries to tell a baldfaced lie on national TV. Fortunately, Fox News’s Judge Andrew Napolitano calls him on it.
Al Franken is Contesting THIS Ballot
20 November 2008Any reasonably intelligent orangutan can see that this is meant to be a vote for Coleman. So why can’t Al Franken seem to grasp that?
