Glenn Greenwald on government surveillance:
It was also as clear a violation of the Fourth Amendment as can be. For the Government to invade our communications with no probable cause showing to a court is exactly what the Founders prohibited as clearly as the English language permitted.
But today, the Democratic-led Congress — with the support of [...]

Our “Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less” campaign continues to gain momentum. Yesterday, American Solutions delivered the first round of signatures - 350,000 - to the U.S. Senate urging them to take immediate action to lower gas prices by drilling for oil domestically.
We delivered the signatures to [...]

Frustrated with Washington, with career politicians, with presidential candidates who do not represent what we believe in, Conservatives presently have only one option

One last thing. We have heard that Bush lied and people died for 5 years now. The Democrats said they would end the war but it has now been admitted that they lied. Is it fair to now claim the Democrats lied and people died?

Once again the walking embarrassment otherwise known as the senior senator from Illinois, Richard “Eddie Haskell” Durbin and his fellow 5th column members in the democrat party are bemoaning the President’s outrageous and contemptible determination to put preventing another 9/11 ahead of protecting the “civil rights” of our murderous enemies. In a reprise of [...]

Earmarks are ugly. Even described in assiduously neutral government language they sound like nasty end runs around review and fairness:
Earmarks are funds provided by the Congress for projects or programs where the congressional direction (in bill or report language) circumvents the merit-based or competitive allocation process, or specifies the location or recipient, or otherwise curtails [...]

I was impressed by the temperate tone in this Stars and Stripes article, because I was just incensed when I read that our troops, who are putting their lives on the line for us, as a result of bureaucratic inefficiency, are being denied that most fundamental of all American rights, the right to the vote:

So once again Democrats are on the short end of the stick, sitting with their white flag and gutless smirks. A pretty good picture in the wake of a wide reaching Democrat fundraising scandal and a speech from Osama bin Laden that reads as if any one of the Dems could have penned it themselves.
