Falwell a Kingmaker?

Definitely not. But Falwell’s recent comments about Rudy Giuliani and John McCain speak volumes.
“Everybody admires him. And I’ll never forget the great things he did on 9/11 and following,” Falwell said.
“But, of course, we have, as conservative Christians who take the Bible seriously, we have probably irreconcilable differences on life and family and that [...]

Kyoto Protocol Stops Global Warming

The Kyoto Protocol was opened for signature on December 11, 1997.
Global warming stopped in 1998.
Seriously.
I guess we just had to scare the earth into thinking that we were going to ease our consumption of fossil fuels.

President Bush and Concerned Citizen

So if you haven’t heard, this gentleman who was asking a question at one of Bush’s events gave a laundry list of alleged wrongs of the Bush. And finished by saying that Bush should be ashamed of himself.
You never stop talking about freedom, and I appreciate that. But while I listen to you talk [...]

NSA Given Carte Blanche by AT&T?

This is really scary…
“The evidence that we are filing supports our claim that AT&T is diverting Internet traffic into the hands of the NSA wholesale, in violation of federal wiretapping laws and the Fourth Amendment,” said EFF Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston. “More than just threatening individuals’ privacy, AT&T’s apparent choice to give the government secret, [...]

A Tragedy of Bureaucracy

This is just heart wrenching…
(Update: Detroit, April 7, 2006, 12:24 p.m.) An investigation is underway in Detroit after a six-year-old boy called 911 to get help for his mom, and the operator acted as if it were a joke.
Detroit NBC Affiliate WDIV reports that six-year-old Robert Turner called 911 on February 20. He thought his [...]

“First a Wall, Then Amnesty”

Charles Krauthammer has an excellent article about building a wall and granting amnesty. I am (almost) completely convinced that he is right.
WASHINGTON — Every sensible immigration policy has two objectives: (1) to regain control of our borders so that it is we who decide who enters, and (2) to find a way to normalize [...]

Welcome to Mexifornia

Holy unnecessary patriotism Batman!
The U.S. flag and other patriotic clothing are now banned in a California school district.
In the wake of last week’s immigration-reform protests, one school district is taking drastic measures, banning all symbols of patriotism, both U.S. and Mexican.
Beginning Monday, the Oceanside Unified School District is banning all flags and patriotic clothing.
Hmmm… [...]

Unbelievable Iraq Numbers

Must read if you think everything is going to hell in a handbasket in Iraq.
81, 76, 50, 49, 43, 25
What are these numbers? This week’s Powerball winners? A safe deposit combo? New numbers to torment those poor [edited] stranded on the island in Lost?
No, they’re the number of troops that have died in hostile actions [...]

Inmigración - Unos Pensamientos

Recién escribí un comentario en Argepundit en cuanto a las supuestas reformas del sistema migratorio (en EEUU). Lo pongo acá también, y escribo más después.
———-
Primero, no me considero como parte de la facción “proteccionista” o lo que sea. Para mi la mejor reforma sería dejar mucho más gente entrar legalmente y a la [...]

Hugo Chavez: “I will not be caught in a spiderhole.”

Hugo Chavez, not wishing to be the second dictator found by U.S. troops in a spiderhole, is buying up military hardware to fuel the insurgency following the U.S. invasion of Venezuela.
“These helicopters are ideal for the war of resistance,” Chavez said after watching troops parachute out of the aircraft. “The anti-imperialist war… a war which [...]

Nestor Kirchner y Wikipedia

Salió hoy un interesante articulo en La Nación sobre Wikipedia y la “batalla virtual para definir quién es Kirchner”. Parece que aun la biografía de nuestro amigo Nestor Kirchner no sea salva de la controversia.
No hay balas, bombas ni bajas humanas. Las heridas son sólo virtuales y los ejércitos, anónimos. Pero una verdadera batalla [...]
