Rather than looking like cowards and being against the exercise of American power, which is what they really are, the Demofiends who seized Congress through silence and subterfuge are now planning a bleed-and-run strategy in Iraq to ward off charges of anti-patriotism while maintaining their goal of an American defeat on a Republican watch.

I’ve read newspaper reports that our nemesis Osama bin Laden died of natural causes, but even those reports were hard to find and harder still to verify.  As I recall, the reports largely came out of London.

So the media have concluded.  The Los Angeles Times, bless their ignorant little liberal lack of brains, has endorsed the United Nations’ view that global warming is irreversible–but can be slowed.
Gag, gasp, choke.  Where is the proof that there even is such a thing as global warming?  Last I checked (yesterday) parts of the planet are [...]
