First 100 Hours, Dems Treading Water

I haven’t been writing much lately.  Mainly because the Democrats still have nothing to say and I always knew what ‘cut and run’ was, and is.  Looks as though we’re in for a 2 year cruise of treading water in the manner that Clinton did for eight years.

Haven’t heard anything in the media about ‘the first 100 hours’ of the new Democrat majority congress.  100 hours being long gone now, working 20 hrs/wk it would take them 5 weeks to get to their first 100 hours.  So there’s still plenty of time.

What’s being ignored?

The obvious ones are winning the war-on-terror, economic policies like making the tax cut permanent, fixing Social Security, educational policies like allowing school choice via the school voucher program (No child left behind), real tort reform, earmark removal just to name a few.   The party has nothing to say about the issues they just ran on.  Oh that’s right, it was ‘Bush sucks.’

Peace Activists Want Terrorists Freed, Some Advice

“Peace activists” and Cindy (Chavez) Sheehan, go demonstrating at Club Gitmo.  They want the detainees to be let go.  Setting terrorists free to continue to kill in their jihad is a peaceful thing?  And that makes sense to who?   Useful idiots, that’s who.

Isn’t it amazing how peace activists don’t criticize the terrorists for what they do? 

I think they should go to Tehran or maybe Gaza, or Sadr City, along with their signs and t-shirts and tell those terrorists that they need to stop suicide bombers and quit tossing rockets into Israel.  Also demand that they be tried in International Courts (whatever that is) for crimes against humanity.  And be sure to leave a last will and testament before you leave the United States.

What ‘Cut And Run’ Is

Who’s fighting a war, and who isn’t?  The ’06 campaign was all about the difference between winning in Iraq and leaving before winning.  The Right was chastised for calling the Left’s position in Iraq as cut and run.  It was unfair because that is not what it was, they said.  Matter of fact, even through the election we still didn’t know what their position was.  But now we know.  Its cut and run.

“Our troops and the American people have already sacrificed a great deal for the future of Iraq,” the letter from Reid and Pelosi said.

 “After nearly four years of combat, tens of thousands of U.S. casualties, and over $300 billion dollars, it is time to bring the war to a close.”

A more clear example cannot be made, that the democrat party does not get in the slightest that the Iraq war is but a front in the war on terror, than their own words.

Be on the lookout for a MSM headline, ‘They do want to cut and run.’  Just don’t hold your breath.

Corrupt Educators, A Camden Tradition

You may remember in June 2006 that the Camden School District was under investigation for cheating on tests that measure their performance, or rather, the performance of their students. Now, come to find out, corruption in the Camden school district has been going on since the 1980’s.

And again, when the kids are the big losers in the administration’s quest for ? the perfectly educated child, it really exposes the very basic of reasons to support a school voucher system. Administrators like those in Camden, New Jersey have not been interested in educating their kids and it shows in the kids they ‘process.’

Dem Control Of Senate Tentative

Of course, we all wish Senator Tim Johnson (D) of South Dakota well, and hope that he recovers well from the apparent stroke he suffered today.  But if for whatever reason Sen. Johnson decides to retire his seat, chances are that Gov. Mike Rounds (R) will appoint a republican as his replacement, which if he would, would make the balance 50/50 with VP Cheney making the 51 majority.  And I don’t even want to think about what the democrats (and the media) would do if that were to actually happen.

New Democrat Caucus?

Twenty-five years after Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner was killed in the line of duty by ‘former’ Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal, the case is still on appeal.  Various communist groups have maintained Jamal’s innocence, despite his guilty conviction and death sentence.  They recently got active in France too in the killer’s behalf.  Paris made him an honorary citizen, and a slum named St. Denis in April 2006 named a street after him.  So in response to these events, one of those non-binding resolutions was put forth by Pennsylvania politicians to voice their displeasure with the actions taken by French authorities.  The measure passed 368-31, with 8 members voting “present.”  

Pardon me for noticing that it wasn’t a unanimous vote in favor.  What does it say when all 31 who voted against the resolution, and all 8 who voted ‘present’ were democrats?  Have cop killers, communists, socialists, and the French become a new special interest for these democrats?

Looks like a Cop Killers Caucus to me too.  James Taranto makes an astute observation.

The most disturbing name on the “no” list is that of John Conyers. Granted, this is only a symbolic vote, but is it really a good idea to entrust the chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee to a man who casts a symbolic vote for a cop-killer and against his victim?
