"The pledge not to waste our tax dollars rings hollow," says Stephen Moore, president of the Club for Growth and a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, "given that in a matter of days he will sign into law a budget-buster that provides money for Alaska skating rinks, Michigan swimming pools and Iowa indoor rain forests." Moore is referring to President Bush's pronouncement in his State of the Union address that "we must spend tax dollars wisely" and the complete lack of opposition from the White House to the mile-high pile of pork in the recently passed fiscal 2004 Omnibus...

Madonna is saying the current administration is a bigger threat to our safety than terrorism. At least that’s the way some people are reading an e-mail that the singer is sending to fans. “I am writing to you because the future I wish for my children is at risk,” notes Madonna. “Our greatest risk is not terrorism and it’s not Iraq or the ‘Axis of Evil.’ Our greatest risk is a lack of leadership, a lack of honesty and a complete lack of consciousness.” Madonna then goes on to slam the Bush administration. “Unfortunately our current government cannot see the...

Well Freepers our President has sold us up the river and hopefully this is a wake up call to conservatives. The guest worker program is a DISASTER waiting to happen. One of President Reagan's mistakes in 1986 was to give blanket amnesty to illegals prior to sealing up the border and overhauling INS. It was stated that by doing this it would curb and put an end to illegal immigration. Since then it has doubled. Now we are seeing the same thing all over again. O'Reilly pulled current numbers from the census bureau and foun the following. It costs this...

Last night I was flipping through the channels and browsed by VH1. Normally I would pass right on by but stopped as Bill Maher took the stage to present the next award. It was the usual diatribe and no VH1 awards show could go without some political barf. Bill Maher went on ranting about how freedom of speech should be cherished and whining that those that do not question the government are the truley un-American ones. He filled the American public in about an illegal war and how terrible the president was blah blah blah. The award, Best quote in...

No Way to Make Friends Bush could surely have arranged to meet in Baghdad with troops from allied countries who are also fighting and dying in Iraq NEWSWEEK Dec. 8 issue — President Bush’s Thanksgiving trip to Iraq was a generous and bold-hearted gesture of support to American troops. What made it such a success, however, was that it managed to severely limit an otherwise unavoidable aspect of travel—contact with foreigners. When President Bush has had to go beyond U.S. Army bases in recent weeks, the tours have not gone so well. TRAVELING THROUGH East Asia last week, I noted...

Right now MSNBC.COM has on its front pages that 100,000 protestors are expected to protest the current war on Iraq. They are still reporting this even after the measley 300 protestors showed up after the ariival of Bush the other day. To continue their blatent bias MSNBC also has a link about protestors protesting here in the U.S. to coincide with those in the UK. Why is noone calling this new service for what it is? 300 protestors is hardly news if you were to ask me. But to add fuel to the fire since MSNBC cannot get to their...

It is of no amazement to me that for months MSNBC and its writers have bashed President Bush on his economic failures. For months it has made front page news over and over again. Now that the national GDP had risen to a percentage never seen MSNBC does everything but ignore it. You placed a small snipet on the right hand side of the page linking to an article that reamined there for all of 2 hours. In fact MSNBC is biased to the point that right now I see an MSNBC new bulletin that states consumer spending down .3...

A better reason to hate Bush Kinsley: The emptiness of our stem-cell research policy By Michael Kinsley SLATE.COM Oct. 24 — Conservatives wonder why so many liberals don’t just disagree with President Bush’s policies but seem to dislike him personally. The story of stem-cell research may help to explain. Two years ago, Bush announced an unexpectedly restrictive policy on the use of stem cells from human embryos in federally funded medical research. Because federal funding plays such a large role, the government more or less sets the rules for major medical research in this country. BUSH’S POLICY was that research...

I have never really been a fan of E.D. Hill on Fox and Friends. A lot of the time I find her popping off at the mouth and wonder if she even thinks before she speaks. Four days ago they were reporting the Kobe Bryant prelim hearing and the discussion encompassed the allegation by the defense that she had possibly slept with 4 different men over 2 different days. Now I know at the time the defense only made an allegation and did not present ANY evidence at the time to back the claim. But I was thinking "oh they...

Agree or Disagree, like or dislike, the “people” of California, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents have spoken. The people have said enough is enough. Arnold has done what few have been able to in politics; send a message that rings true across all political parties. It wasn’t the Republicans that got him into office. It was mainly the Independents of the State that got him there. Freeper critique: Conservative or Liberal? As was evidence last night voters are tired of the same old Mantra and polarization. Arnold calls himself a Republican but many on this site chastise and polarize him because...

Ruling could spur competition among Internet providers ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 6 — A federal appeals court opened the door Monday to additional rules on high-speed Internet access over cable television lines, overturning a Federal Communications Commission decision that competitors say has kept them locked out of the cable systems. IN AN OPINION issued Monday, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said the FCC made a mistake when it classified cable Internet as just an “information service.” The judges, basing their ruling on a decision in an earlier case, said...

It’s not just the CIA scandal. The latest data on jobs, poverty and the uninsured are all combining to paint a picture of a Bush administration in disarray Oct. 3 — The zeitgeist is shifting. Liberal books are moving up the best-seller list. Rush Limbaugh is getting disparaged for racial insensitivity and allegedly buying illegal drugs. And the controversy over administration officials leaking the identity of an undercover CIA operative has put conservatives in the indefensible position of condoning treason. THE SPY STORY engulfing the White House is the catalyst for the Bush meltdown. But we wouldn’t be obsessing over...

May 29 — When Bob Hope was born 100 years ago today, the world was a substantially different place. Coal had not yet been discovered. Some people still walked on their hands. Most important, there was a void in the world that didn’t allow human laughter. Before Bob Hope, the world was a pit of human sorrow.

NBC’s Campbell Brown on the losers behind Bush’s child tax credit — minimum-wage families May 29 -- At Wednesday's signing ceremony President Bush hailed the tax-cut bill for how much it will help families. But NBC's Campbell Brown reports that's not true for families making minimum wage. By Campbell Brown NBC NEWS May 29 — At Tuesday’s White House signing ceremony for the tax-cut bill, President Bush lauded the tax cut for how much it would help families, saying it would add “$400 per child to 25 million eligible families” and promising that the check is in the mail. “Those...

Democratic candidates start to embrace liberal themes again By William Saletan SLATE.COM May 28 — Last week, seven Democratic presidential candidates addressed a forum convened by EMILY’s List, an organization that raises money for pro-choice, Democratic women candidates.

May 28 — In the months preceding the intervention in Iraq, there were almost as many arguments within the “regime-change” constituency as there were between it and the “peace” camp. On both sides, indeed, some internal disagreements were subordinated to the main quarrel. The most enduring suspicion, among the Arab and Kurdish supporters of an attacking policy, was that elements within the American government would seek to keep them from harvesting an “Iraq for the Iraqis” victory. HENCE THE LONG tussle between Ahmad Chalabi and the CIA, and hence also the enduring memory among Kurds of the times when they...
