Afghanistan this week plans to ask during President Hamid Karzai’s Washington visit for more U.S. assistance to be channeled directly to government coffers, the country’s top finance official said. OK, I’ve been patient enough with this.  Afghanistan is a country that attacked us, then provoked us, then crumbled when we reciprocated.  We don’t owe them [...]

Libya’s a fun thing to watch.  Even as the rebels stormed the Qaddafi compound, Qaddafi himself was still sending out the message to attack the devils and traitors.  This all reminded me of the last days of Saddam Hussein.  More importantly, it reminded me of something else:

Osama Bin Laden lived in peace and completely unfettered there for a decade.  Our helicopter that got shot down going after Bin Laden was given access to the Chinese.  They have terrorists a few hours from Islamabad.  They sometimes like us, they sometimes don’t.  And, they have nukes. We are currently on target to give [...]

Get this straight, then we’ll talk about the rest: U.S. Secretary of State meets with Libyan rebels OK, we have openly sided, once again, with one side in a civil war.  Granted no one seems to like Kadhafi, choosing a side involves not only showing support for one side, but showing opposition to all those [...]

This is indicative of the complete chaos coming out of the Obama administration at this time.  And, given liberal philosophy, it won’t stop. The Obama Department of Labor just spent your money to put together an advertising campaign letting illegal workers know they have rights to minimum wage standards.  In Spanish. They don’t have one [...]

Right as Obama is gearing up for another round of stimulus funding, Germany’s Angela Merkel blindsided him some of the craziest advice Obama’s probably heard since the last Tea Party rally: “It’s urgently necessary for monetary stability that public budgets return to balance,” German Economy Minister Rainer Bruederle said at a press conference Monday, according [...]

Barney Frank came out swinging against the Israeli army’s conflict with the Palestinian activists.  Without the first shred of any evidence whatsoever, he condemned the Israelis, his Jewish faith, and referred to the activists as “innocent”.  Apparently Frank hadn’t seen this: Watch the latest news video at video.foxnews.com The “innocent” activists from California are attacking [...]

Pat Robertson blamed the Haiti earthquake on their pact with the devil.  That seemed kinda crazy to me. Danny Glover one-upped Robertson by claiming it’s because we didn’t do enough at the COP15 meetings.  You know, mother nature’s pissed and she’s not going to take it any more.  That seemed kinda crazy to me as [...]

I’ve stolen that title from Classically Liberal.  It’s not really the point I’m shooting for, but it’s close enough and the article is a riot.  A lot of people have been claiming Obama’s socialist.  I have for that matter.  However, people supporting Obama have dismissed those claims as rhetoric.  However, Obama’s White House PR person [...]

President Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize.  Although some are scratching their heads over why, I’m not.  It’s quite obvious and the Nobel peeps even said why: “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples” Some were somewhat dubious of his accomplishments: “Frankly to be nominated after he has been in [...]
