Here’s the key part of its defense: [I]t’s the
Continue readingI think everyone should in its entirety the speech McCain gave today in Denver. It is the hardest hitting speech yet I’ve seen about McCain’s leadership qualities, and Obama’s complete absence of same (emphasis mine): Thank you for that kind introduction and warm welcome.

Continue readingA lot of people have gotten hung up on Obama’s citizen of the world reference when he spoke to the Germans, a phrase that is fatuous, offensive and foolish, depending on how you want to view it. Scott, at Power Line, however, has dug more deeply in the substance of
Continue readingIn light of the Surge’s manifest success, John Hawkins, of Right Wing News, has written a column that assembles many of the Democratic gloom and doom predictions about the Surge when it was first proposed.
