Conservatives take Canada
A Pro-Bush conservative has been elected Prime Minister of Canada. Looks like US-Canadian relations will improve as well as a more cohesive view on the war on terrorism. Also, I wonder where all the liberal Hollywood activists will threaten to go in 2008 now that Canada is conservative? Perhaps Nort...

Even the Insurgents have had enough of Al Qaeda
Take a look at this story: BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi nationalist rebels in the Sunni Arab city of Ramadi have turned against their former al Qaeda allies after a bomb attack this month killed 80 people, sparking tit-for-tat assassinations. Residents told Reuters on Monday at least three prominent fi...

In a national sample, 1500 is the standard number of people to formulate an accurate view of the population. In the case of the Iraq poll, it can be interpreted as accurate. source

They do not fit your ideological viewpoint, therefore you do not respect them. If I quote the National Review, an accredited source that is highly accurate, you shoot it down. If I quote the Washington Times, another highly accurate and accredited source, you shoot it down. There seems to be little ...

You mean like Phoenix? Done much globetrotting lately? The real world? Have you looked around? We're alone. The world that once stood by our side and wept at the tragedy that was Sept 11 now mocks us and fears the actions of a super-power gone rogue. The real world? You have no idea. Actually, I've...

I suggest you read these books, as I have... The Spanish Inquisition : A Historical Revision Infidels by Wheatcroft In both books, it is clear that Islam was the aggressor and Chrisendom the antagonist. Also, the evil Spanish inquisition was not as bad as the popular culture makes it out to be. The ...

You obviously do not understand the meaning of my post. You should leave that small town of yours and go out into the real world sometime. Here is the crux of what my previous post means: I DO NOT NEED TO TELL YOU WHAT I THINK THEIR INTENTIONS ARE. THEY HAVE REPEATED THEIR INTENTIONS. And your nonch...

I think you should distinguish between accidental civilian deaths by American soldiers and intentional civilian deaths at the hands of terrorists. American soldiers do not target civilians for assassination; terrorists do. Unfortunately, that separation is not always understood by some. Edit: Also, ...

Daughter shut away for three decades in bathroom, WTF???
This is truly a weird story: A 73-YEAR-OLD woman is being investigated for “kidnapping and maltreating a family member” after allegedly keeping her mentally disturbed daughter locked in a darkened bathroom for 30 years. Police said that Annina Gentilezza had kept her daughter, Giuseppina, now 52, a ...

I have to respond quickly, but the reason the war is unpopular is because the media is vehemently opposed to the war and are portraying negative story after negative story about Iraq. There is no balance. We, in the United States, hear how terrible the war is going, when it is going remarkably well....

Laughable "Truce" Proposal
Well well, ladies and gentlemen, it looks like Osama bin Laden wants to call it quits with the United States. Osama declares he will accept a truce if the United States offers him one, and then he will proceed to rebuild Afghanistan and Iraq. This truce comes after the United States killed three of ...

Rapist gets 60 days?!
Here is an interesting story about a judge who sentenced a man 60 days in jail for repeatedly raping a young girl for 4 YEARS. In my opinion, a rapist of this caliber ought to be imprisoned for a minimum of 25 years and a maximum of life. There was outrage Wednesday when a Vermont judge handed out a...

The reason Canada has no huge military presence is because of the United States. The United States protects Canada voluntarily, even though many of their citizens seem to hate us back. Edit: vtwahoo, are you Killfile's wife? Also, ours is a volunteer army, no one is sending their kids to die. They a...

It would have been cheaper to have just paid the Iraqis to leave There's a genius idea.

Denis Kucinich the former Presidential candidate from Ohio thinks we are. Fascinating as that is, I didn't ask what Kucinich thought. I asked if you were suggesting that the US military was targeting and killing innocent civilians. And if you are, I'd ask you to explain why. I know we are not targe...
