TERRORIST APPEASERS TRY AGAIN

Democrats aren't giving up yet on their anti-war proposals...now they have a new one over in the House. The latest piece of legislation would not cut off funding for the troops, but would require the president to acknowledge the military is overburdened. Huh? These people don't know when to quit, do they? How about passing a resolution banning anymore resolutions about the war? One thing's for sure, if Osama really is alive and living in Pakistan...he must be pleased with his Democratic supporters.

What is the point of all this? There isn't one. When it comes to war, the power of the House of Representatives is clear: they hold the purse strings. Again...if the Democratic majority on Capitol Hill really believes that the war in Iraq is a mistake, then cut off the funding. Otherwise, sit down and shut up. While they're doing everything they can to undermine the commander-in-chief, this country is trying to win the war on terrorism.

It sure makes you wonder just whose side some of these liberals are on.

MCCAIN OFFICIALLY RUNNING

John McCain announced on David Letterman last night that he's running for president. He's long been considered the front-runner in the GOP....but not anymore...not since Rudy threw his hat in the ring. And here's a trivia question: in the last 100 years, how many presidents have we elected straight from the United States Senate? Two...Warren Harding and JFK. That doesn't bode well for the Senator from Arizona. Dick Morris says McCain has about $500,000 in his account, and he's announcing?

McCain is the new Bob Dole...always running for the White House, but never quite getting there. In an age where we get our presidents from the governor's mansions and the vice president's office, the deck is stacked against McCain. Also, if elected, he'd be older than Ronald Reagan was when he was sworn in. Like it or not, age is a factor the public considers when selecting a president of the United States.
But McCain also has some other problems. He holds unpopular positions...including one in favor of a guest worker program and continuing to do nothing about illegal immigration. Not to mention the hypocrisy of running away from his own campaign finance legislation. It's going to be an uphill battle. In fact ... it's going nowhere. You folks have all the fun with McCain you want. He is not going to be the Republican nominee.

THE NORKS PULLING A FAST ONE

The Bush Administration has started cozying up to The Gargoyle in a major way. According to media reports, we're going to start unfreezing North Korea's assets. Since they announced they'll be getting rid of their nuclear program. They said they would....we should believe them, right? Nope...the Norks have played us for fools before.

This has all played out before...beginning in 1994. Remember that? Jimmy Carter to Pyongyang to negotiate with the insane dictator himself, without the blessings of the Clinton Administration. An agreement was hammered out: The Norks would shut down their nuclear reactors in exchange for money and fuel. Almost the minute the future Nobel Appeasement Prize winner let the tarmac, Kim Jong-Il rolled that agreement up and set it on fire. But the Clinton Administration wasn't done yet.

No, it was time again in 2000 to try and convince The Gargoyle of the evil of his ways. So he was rewarded with a state visit from Madeleine Albright. More negotiations, more agreements...all broken. So now we've had these six-party talks...and once again, North Korea is promising to get rid of its nukes...in exchange for whatever.

And the same thing will happen this time, just as before. We don't know when to quit, do we?

Catastrophe brings traffic to a standstill.[flash] Don't laugh...this could happen!

So where is Osama Bin Laden these days? According to the CIA, he's in Pakistan establishing new terrorism training camps. So now that we know where he is, perhaps we can find him. Then again, Pakistan is a big place. At least we have some idea.

It's really starting to seem more and more like Al Gore may really do it....he may change his mind and run for president again. That would be something. Come on, Al...go ahead and do it. Then we'd have ourselves a three-way race between Hillary and Saint Obama.

The lawsuits are flying in Santa Rosa, California after one student allegedly made statements being interpreted as hate speech. So now the speech codes have made it from higher education down to high school. So much for the First Amendment.

You may have heard there is controversy down at The Bank of America over that financial institution's decision to open accounts for illegals without a Social Security number. It turns out they're not the only ones. Some companies are starting to even accept Mexican documentation.

John Edwards is doing what Hillary Clinton won't do: apologizing for his 2002 vote authorizing the war in Iraq. Ultimately, though it may not do him much good...he's in a very distant third place after The Hildabeast and Barack Obama. But he's sorry he voted for the war.

Remember that Mexican drug smuggler that was shot by those two Border Patrol agents that are now doing time for it? Now we're learning that after he got immunity from the U.S. Attorney's office, this fine, upstanding citizen stashed 750 pounds of marijuana in a van in the United States.

There seems to be a problem with all of the major candidates running for the 2008 Republican nomination. Robert Novak says there really isn't a true conservative among them. He surveys the landscape and reviews some of the lesser-known candidates.

Those in Congress who complain about authorizing the war in Iraq and then having things turn out the way they did seem to have short memories. Victor Davis Hanson notes that in 1999, Congress would not approve the bombings in Serbia after they had already started.

Former New York Governor Mario Cuomo and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich say the race in 2008 should be civilized...sort of like the Lincoln/Douglas debates. They note that those debates took place exactly 147 years ago...and were very civilized.

Ann Coulter looks at the real agenda of the environmental extremist Left. She says if the global warming crowd gets its way, we can expect the economy to grind to a halt and their real agenda to take hold: starvation and human devastation. Entertaining and informative as always.

Looks like I touched a nerve with Jay York of Wichita on global warming. Scroll down when you get there...it's fun!
