"'The environmental alarmists have it backwards. If anything imperils the earth it is ignorant obstruction of science and progress. ... "

"Rarely in history has an elected branch of government engaged in so pointless an exercise as Congress is now doing. And yet the exercise continues. Three days ago the President invited the Democratic leaders to meet with him next week to discuss the supplemental. The majority leader, Senator Harry Reid, at first declined to do so. When Nancy Pelosi flies nearly 6,000 miles to meet with the president of Syria, but Harry Reid hesitates to drive a mile and half to meet with the President of the United States, there's a serious problem in the leadership of the Democratic Party."

Thank you Vice President Cheney for letting the American people know of the danger posed by the Democrat Party and thank you RealClearPolitics - Articles - The War & the Irresponsible Democrats for linking it.

"“I was guardedly optimistic in December,” before Bush ordered an extra 21,500 American combat troops to Iraq, including 4,000 Marines to Anbar province, Conway said. Four months later he said he sees a decisively improved situation in Anbar, adding, “That’s not too optimistic or too much ‘happy talk.’ ” “I was guardedly optimistic in December,” before Bush ordered an extra 21,500 American combat troops to Iraq, including 4,000 Marines to Anbar province, Conway said.

"I think this is one of the things that people are finding attractive about Fred Thompson — he sounds conservative, like a movement kinda guy."

The sweet sound of conservatism! You know it when you hear it. It does not come from an explanation or a justification. It never includes "but on the really important things I'm conservative" or "but I'm more conservative than..."

In particular it never includes "would you rather have Hillary?"

If you don't remember what it sounds like, which is understandable with today's Republican leadership, take a fresh listen to Rush Limbaugh. Get nostalgic and listen to Reagan. Listen to the way you and your conservative friends talk between yourselves.

The sweet sound of conservatism! You will know it when you hear it and it is not from the front running Republicans.

Thank you Kathryn Jean Lopez at The Corner on National Review Online for the post.

"how much time does Fred have to enter the race? Plenty."

Good to know that Dean Barnett does not share Hugh's fatalism that there is no time for a conservative to enter the race. It is hard to imagine how a Rebublican who has to work at proving their conservatism can energize the base enough to win and I cannot get behind a CINO (conservative in name only) until, and God help us, unless one wins the nomination.

"The "Logan Act" makes it a felony and provides for a prison sentence of up to three years for any American, "without authority of the United States,"."

While a good place to start I do not think a felony is strong enough when treason, or at least sedition, has clearly occurred. Pelolsi should not be allowed to return to the United States until after her citizenship status, which she appears to have forfeited by her actions, have been determined and she has been appropriately tried.

"Once it becomes accepted that it is all right to violate both the laws and the traditions of this nation, and to undermine the ability of the United States to speak to other nations of the world with one voice, we will have taken another fateful step downward into the degeneration of this society."

"What we need is an administration that’s going to deal with the counterinsurgency at home, which is taking root in the Democratic Congress."
