National Sick Day 2008

Edward L. Daley — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 15:40:44 +0000

Greetings,

Are you sick and tired of being ignored by your government? Are you angry about having to pay outrageous gasoline and food prices while your elected representatives consider legislation which, if enacted, will only make matters worse? Do you believe that the environmentalist lobby in Washington DC has hijacked American energy policy? Well here’s an idea that just might interest you. (more…)

A Few Questions For Liberals

Edward L. Daley — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 17:05:59 +0000

1) The modern American “peace movement” is responsible for the deaths of far more people than the U.S.-involved wars its members have protested over the past half century. Why then are so many Americans still convinced that going to war is the worst thing our country can do?

2) Over the course of its existence, our planet has been much colder and much warmer than it is today, having endured periodic ice ages and various cataclysmic natural events. That being the case, why would anyone choose to believe that human beings are responsible for the earth’s most recent, and relatively mild, climatic shift? (more…)

The Grand Old Party Is In Trouble

Edward L. Daley — Tue, 08 May 2007 10:20:31 +0000

Apparently the entire Republican party has lost its collective mind, as is evidenced by the fact that the GOP’s presidential candidates agreed to let a partisan, liberal hatchet-man like Chris Matthews[1] run their first national debate[2] on Thursday evening. Along for the ride were John Harris[3] and Jim VandeHei[4] of The Politico.com, who’s questions actually made Matthews’ blatantly anti-rightwing interrogatives seem almost unbiased in comparison.

The ten politicians who showed up for the event were Mitt Romney[5], Sam Brownback[6], Jim Gilmore[7], Mike Huckabee[8], Duncan Hunter[9], Tommy Thompson[10], John McCain[11], Ron Pail[12], Rudy Giuliani[13] and Tom Tancredo[14], and before the night was over, none of them had managed to avoid being rhetorically shivved by at least one of the three questioners. Of course, the candidates had nobody but themselves to blame for the shameful, 90-minute display. (more…)

A Few Words About Gun Control

Edward L. Daley — Sat, 21 Apr 2007 17:04:59 +0000

It was only a matter of time before anti-gun nuts all over the country started calling for stiffer gun control measures in the wake of the recent Virginia Tech massacre. If there’s one thing leftists are, it’s predictable. If there’s another thing they are, it’s staggeringly foolish.

Yeah, we need more firearm restrictions because some nutbag went on a shooting spree on a college campus where nobody but criminals and psychopaths could have been expected to be packing iron. As it turns out, it wasn’t so much a “gun-free” zone as it was a self-defense-free zone. (more…)

I Know It’s Hard To Believe But …

Edward L. Daley — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 17:55:34 +0000

There are some people in the United States of America who think that George W. Bush orchestrated the atrocities of 09/11/01…

and that Democrats are more responsible with our tax dollars than Republicans…

and that Rosie O’Donnell is a patriot… (more…)

Reflections Of A Real American

Edward L. Daley — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 14:20:46 +0000

Ever since the new Defeatocrat party took control of our Congress less than two months ago, the snarling anklebiters who make up its support base have allowed their irrational hatred for the Bush administration to propel them to new heights of lunacy, and it doesn’t look as if they’re going to be piloting the starship moonbat toward planet reality anytime soon.

Of course, there has never been a time when the word rational could have been used to accurately describe this particular generation of leftists, however, with each passing day it’s becoming more and more difficult to refer to them as anything but a gaggle of frothing nutjobs. (more…)

Reading Between the Lines of Hillary’s “I’m In” Announcement

Edward L. Daley — Sat, 27 Jan 2007 20:14:05 +0000

As most everyone knows by now, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC) has recently thrown her hat into the ring of contenders for the 2008 Democrat presidential nomination. [1] [2] Because I happen to think that Ms. Clinton is among the most disingenuous individuals in American politics, I have decided to relate what I believe she would have said in her public announcement to run for president if she were capable of being honest with the people of this country.

The following quotes are from Hillary’s brief “I’m In” statement of January 20th, 2007. After each one I have included my own version of her message, written in a way that I feel more accurately reflects her true attitudes and desires. (more…)

Fairness? Yeah Right!

Edward L. Daley — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 10:50:39 +0000

Less than half a month has passed since the Democrats took control of Congress, and already they are proving to everyone just how far to the left their party has slid over the years. In typical neo-communist fashion, Representative Maurice Hinchey of New York [1] has decided to drag the long-buried - but apparently not quite dead - Fairness Doctrine [2] out of its tomb, dust it off, rename it the Media Ownership Reform Act (MORA) [3], and attempt to replace free speech in the media with what he and his ilk like to refer to as “fair speech”.
