Not only a Sadr stooge, mind you. This is Qais Khazali, who broke away from Sadr and lead Iran-backed terror groups in Iraq. He succeeded in pulling off some of the worst atrocities committed against the United States during the war. Amongst his victims were five American soldiers, four of whom were kidnapped and executed [...]

Ben Nelson Ad: You Know What’s Awesome? ObamaCare

Just how disastrous was his vote for the horrid Senate health care legislation? 64% of Nebraskans disapprove of the bill. In fact, Nelson trails his closest re-election competitor by about 30%. And he’s only up for re-election in 2012. Which brings us to another point. Nelson is running defensive ads 3 years before his re-election [...]

Everyone But Ordinary, Straight, White Males

Affirmative action is bad enough when applied to the private and run-of-the-mill public sector, being a policy that’s both racist and discriminatory. (The underlying assumption is that a minority can’t compete successfully without government intervention.) The policy only becomes more absurd when applied to sectors such as, say, national security. It just seems like the [...]

Baucus: No, Man, I Was Totally Sober

Question #1: He doesn’t actually expect us to believe that performance was given without him being drunk, right? This must be a wink-wink-nudge-nudge denial. Question #2: What took his office so long to issue a statement? The video has been prominent for several days now. You’d think they would’ve immediately smacked-down the story if it [...]

Hey, remember when the Obama Administration announced it would abandon America’s promise to European allies by killing the planned missile defense shield? Many, including myself, asked exactly what we received in return for abandoing our friends, breaking our word, and projecting weakness. Well, now we have our answer. As expected, American weakness was only met [...]

While the media is doing its best to dismiss any concerns over placing a modern-day Jimmy Hoffa in control of the nation’s airline security, we should remember that Erroll Southers — Obama’s TSA chief nominee — doesn’t exactly have a clean past. Southers, seen here, was censured by the FBI for misusing his power. Reports [...]

Former police major Alexei Dymovsky became so tired of corruption within Russia’s police force that he took to YouTube to appeal to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. But instead of help in his anti-corruption crusade, Dymovsky received charges. Former police major Alexei Dymovsky became a household name in Russia earlier this year when he used YouTube [...]

Moronic Idea of the Day: Let’s Unionize TSA!

29. December 2009

0 Comments

Hey, why not. They’re already slow, inefficient, expensive, and demanding. Let’s give them a union so they can go on strike when they don’t get the pension plan they demand; have union leaders veto aspects of our national security apparatus; and create more bureaucracy. Is there no aspect of the United States, including its national [...]
