On The Border With The Vigilantes
By Michael Gaddy

Unlike most of the 875 or so true American Patriots that showed up in Arizona to do what our government refuses to do, I was not particularly upset with the comment by George W. Bush that referred to the Minuteman Project volunteers as "Vigilantes." Considering Dubya's well-documented problems with the English language, I thought it might be possible that ole George just did not want anyone on the border who might actually be vigilant. According to our government, and the 9/11 Commission, it was the lack of vigilance by a bloated, incompetent, 40-billion-dollars-per-year federal bureaucracy that led to the catastrophic events of 9/11. Where exactly would George W. Bush be without 9/11: A milquetoast wannabee dictator without the Patriot Act, Homeland Security and one dollar a gallon gasoline. Vigilance is a lose/lose proposition for this administration.

The New Liberal Twist on History
By Jeff Adams

A while back I was visiting my in-laws in Waco, TX. One morning I got up early and was reading the morning paper and saw an interesting opinion piece on the editorial page. It was by a local woman and she was carrying on about how American history was actually a history of ‘progressives.'

That's what liberals do: constantly repackage themselves and their ideas to keep fooling the public with their failed ideology. After all, a ‘classic liberal' is really an Old Right conservative, whereas a modern liberal is really a socialist. (Read the rest here)

Cockamamie All Over The Place
By Ed Henry

I hope you are all listening to, watching, and reading the pure garbage that’s being put forth today. And put out without challenge by anyone. Let’s list some of these:

  • Words have become weapons of mass destruction. Removing filibusters is a “nuclear option.” Let’s send filibusters to Iran and North Korea so they can talk themselves to death. At least the girls at Hooters are more sincere when their t-shirts say “weapon of mass distraction.”
  • Social Security is going broke, bankrupt, bust by 2041. A supplemental retirement insurance program that produced a profit of $71 billion last year and is following the same path month by month this year is unhealthy, in trouble, and needs to be fixed so the pirates can steal even more loot.
