and Publisher, Political-FringeAn Army wife’s response to Rhode Island school’s banning of toy soldiers on 8-year old’s hat I have been blessed in my 37 years to befriend a great many people from many different walks of life. Some have gone by the wayside, as people are wont to do, other have remained steadfast no matter the distances between us. A member of the latter group is one Mrs. Jessica Cudaback. I met Jessica (when her last name was still Duncan) several years ago while working at a part time job at a craft store in Raleigh, NC; me, the rabidly conservative 30-something; she, the teenage NC State student with a bumper sticker on her car touting Bush’s last day in office. Needless to say, we got along famously. Time marches on, and people change. Jessica met and fell in love with James, a newly-inducted member of the US Army. While James was training (and then stationed overseas), Jessica transformed from a typical liberal college student to a ferociously patriotic conservative Army wife. She has never lost her spirit of questioning authority, and has also (thankfully) never lost the confidence to speak out when she feels something needs to be said. She, and people like her give me hope for the future of this country. |
 Bruce Political WatchLeftist’s Cry of Racism Is An Emotional Response To The Rule of Law You hear it quite often in the illegal immigration debate, “bigot”, “fascist”, “mid aged racist white guy”, actually, I am mid aged and white, and am tired of hearing it because that is not the way it is. It’s like this; How would you like it if someone came to your house, came right in (via the back door) and demanded food, a shower, a bed, and some money to help out. Yes, that would be crazy and you would not allow it. And no, I am not against charity, but demanding something of someone else is not a charitable situation. |
 Citizen XThe Tax Mahal At a time when the private economy continues to contract, the IRS is renovating its regional headquarters in Andover, Massachusetts. The building will include a reflecting pool, an art gallery, indoor gardens, a 7,000-square-foot cafeteria and an amphitheater. Sounds like a great place to fleece Americans, er, I mean work.

 Dick MorrisMCCHRYSTAL’S ATTACK HURTS OBAMA’S LEFT WING BASE General Stanley McChrystal’s interview in Rolling Stone Magazine will do a lot to damage further President Obama’s standing among liberals and Democrats and will undermine his chances of keeping control of Congress in 2010. To conservative voters and commentators, his comments underscore doubts about Obama’s competence. To the Administration’s spokespeople, the interview shows a lack of proper subordination in the chain of command. But to the voters of the left, the key import of his comments is that the general in charge of the war in Afghanistan basically said the war is not being won, and perhaps cannot be won. Obama’s decision to fire McChrystal guarantees that the story will now share page one with the Gulf oil spill, focusing liberal attention on Obama’s two cardinal sins in liberal eyes – the oil spill and the war in Afghanistan. Relieving the general of command sends a message that Obama is thin-skinned, arrogant, and easily offended. |
 Michelle MalkinKen Salazar gets an ass-kicking. Over to you, Capitol Hill. My syndicated column follows up on federal judge Martin Feldman’s decision yesterday overturning the Obama drilling moratorium. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has now signaled that he will push for another drilling ban — with brand-spanking new, wholly manufactured evidence, no doubt. Salazar is scheduled to testify to a Senate subcommittee on Capitol Hill later today at 11:00am. He better get the grilling he deserves over his junk science zealotry. Info on today’s hearing. Gear up: Wednesday, June 23, 2010, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and newly appointed Bureau of Ocean Energy Director Michael Bromwich will testify before the Senate Interior Appropriations Subcommittee regarding reforms to strengthen offshore oil and gas oversight and enforcement. |
 Bernard GoldbergI Like the BP Guy More than the Clowns Who Grilled Him Every time a bunch of congressmen get some capitalist “villains” in their cross-hairs – whether they’re bankers from Wall Street or carmakers from Detroit or most recently Tony Hayward from BP -- and take shots at them for hours on end on national television, I wind up rooting for the "bad guy." It’s not that I think the money boys from Wall Street are saints, or the guys who run the car companies in Detroit are so wonderful, or that BP should be nominated for a Nobel Prize. It’s just that I have a hard time listening to a bunch of sanctimonious, windbag politicians who couldn’t run a lemonade stand put on their populist tinfoil hats and treat the poor bastards worse than they would treat Osama bin Laden if he showed up at one of their sub-committee hearings. I watched the BP hearings and am wondering if I’m the only one who feels sorry for Tony Hayward. Look, if it turns out that what happened in the Gulf was more than a terrible accident, if it turns out that BP was cutting corners to increase profits, then it’s fine with me if the government brings criminal charges against anyone and everyone who was responsible. It just irks me to watch a parade of nitwits who live in glass houses throw boulders at the guy. |
 S.E. CuppAnd you thought Bush was embarrassing? Obama's policies are leaving Americans red in the face Americans today don't embarrass very easily. Just ask MTV progeny Heidi Montag-Pratt-Montag [pictured above] (and her plastic surgeon), Rod Blagojevich or the Salahis. Tiger Woods had no problem showing his face at the U.S. Open less than a year after ruining his squeaky-clean image (and perhaps his marriage). Eliot Spitzer could become the next Larry King. As for me, I'm a cable news pundit, so clearly my standards of dignity are fairly low. But two years into his first term, President Obama is proving we are not entirely without shame. Thanks to a slew of gaffes, blunders, miscalculations and alarming personality revelations, Obama has become a surprising liability where our reputation abroad is concerned - surprising not only because he was elected, in part, to restore our supposedly damaged image overseas, but also because he was touted as a smooth and charming diplomat. |
 Ann CoulterWHAT A SACK OF SACROSANCT In The New York Times' profile on the family of Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, her aunt was quoted as saying: "There was thinking, always thinking" at the family's dinner table. "Nothing was sacrosanct." Really? Nothing was sacrosanct? Because in my experience, on a scale of 1-to-infinity, the range of acceptable opinion among New York liberals goes from 1-to-1.001. How would the following remarks fare at a dinner table on the Upper West Side where "nothing was sacrosanct": Hey, maybe that Joe McCarthy was onto something. What would prayer in the schools really hurt? How do we know gays are born that way? Is it possible that union demands have gone too far? Does it make sense to have three recycling bins in these microscopic Manhattan apartments? Say, has anyone read Charles Murray's latest book? |
 Greg GutfieldTUESDAY'S GREGALOGUE So, as you know, chatroulette is a website that instantly hooks up strangers for online yakfests. Visitors - which there are millions, daily - come there to talk about crap, and then bolt when they lose interest. This amazing new site has wowed investors, and it could make its young Russian inventor rich beyond his wildest dreams. If it were not for the penises. Yep: People are fleeing the site, as more and more men are showing up only to flash their shortcomings to shocked and sickened strangers. Chatroulette has become a lazy perverts dream: you can nauseate thousands of people, without ever leaving your basement. Just like Media Matters. Anyway, this disturbing story illustrates two supreme truths: |
