Former President Jimmy Carter made headlines last weekend for stating that the Bush administration "administration has been the worst in history." He has since tried to back away from his comments, calling them "careless" and clarifying that he wasn't "comparing this administration with other administrations throughout history but just with President Nixon's." Right. Because "the worst in history" isn't a comparison to other administrations throughout history. Perhaps the reason for Carter's backpedaling is that he would prefer to avoid an active "Whose administration was the worst ever" debate because of how often his name might come up. The Chicago Tribune has already thrown their ...

In the Band of Brothers miniseries, in the 7th out of 10 episodes, one of the men noted that the men started to get a sense that the outcome of the war had already been decided. Knowing this, they were a little extra careful, a little more cautios. After surviving so much, none of them wanted to get killed or injured that close to the end of the war. Fast-forward 60-odd years. The Democrats have already declared that the outcome of the war in Iraq is certain. We've lost, or so they tell us. If that's the case, why are the fiddling around with arbitrary withdrawal dates 18 months away? If they truly care for ...

Like a broken record, the dinosaur media has gleefully and consistently reminded us that President Bush's approval rating is hovering in the low 30's. Pelosi, Reid, and Co. have taken advantage of every opportunity to gloat about how out of touch the President is, and they use these poll numbers to prove that Bush is unwilling to listen to his constituency. Today, in a story you won't hear mentioned anywhere by The Media, Gallup reports the findings of their most recent approval rating polls. As expected, Bush's approval rating was 33%, just two points lower than his to-date 2007 average. Of those surveyed, 62% disapprove of his performance, with 73% of Republicans surveyed saying they approve of the President, compared to just 9% of Democrats. OK, so that's not really news. Bush's approval rating hasn't been above 40% since September of last year, and the network anchors just won't let us forget it. What is newsworthy, however, is the approval rating the American people ascribed to their representatives in Congress. Gallup found that Congress' approval rating is a meager 29%, or four points lower than that of the president. Since January, the Democrats have enjoyed majority status in both houses of Congress, yet just 37% of Democrats say they approve of what the Congress is doing. Those numbers could hardly be described as a "mandate."

In the past two weeks, a senior member of al-Qaida was killed in Iraq, and al-Qaida has claimed responsibility for killing four U.S. soldiers and capturing three others. This all seems a bit strange to me, considering a staple of the anti-war movement is the assertion that al-Qaida has absolutely no ties to Iraq and that we're fighting the wrong war.

The editors over at National Review Online have published an article criticizing the House vote to fund the next several months of the war in two parts. "$42.75 billion — enough to fund operations through July 31 — would be released right now. The president would have to report on progress in Baghdad by July 13, and then a second vote would be required to release the remaining $52.8 billion, which would carry the military through the end of the fiscal year in October." Setting arbitrary withdrawal dates was bad enough, but this is ridiculous. When you tell your enemy, "We'll be gone by the end of 2008," you give them an incentive to lay low and ...

"Our troops... deserve to know that their elected leaders who voted to send them to war continue to stand behind them."      - George W. Bush, November 11, 2005 Which elected leaders was W. talking about? You may be surprised at some of names that made the list:

Not to be outdone by Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama joined in on the "Blame Bush for the tornado in Kansas" campaign. While I could comment on the appropriateness of using an F-5 tornado that destroyed an entire town as a political tool, or Obama's accidental exaggeration of the death toll, I would prefer instead to simply address the facts of this disaster. Specifically, the facts and misinformation that Barack and Nancy are trotting out in their Blame Bush games. Governor Sebelius has stated that 40% of the National Guard's troops are in Iraq, and that about 50% of their equipment is gone. Obama also tells us that ...

"Who then is this, that he commands even winds and water, and they obey him?"      - Luke 8:25, ESV As if on cue, just days after a tornado devastated Greensburg, Kansas, Democrats have rushed to blame George W. Bush for this natural disaster. On her blog, Pelosi actually links the war in Iraq to the destruction caused in, ahem, Kansas. She writes, "The war in Iraq has had a serious impact on the National Guard and its ability to protect and assist Americans in times of disaster here at home. On Friday May 4th, a massive tornado ripped through the town of Greensburg, Kansas killing at least 10 people and leaving the town in ruins."...
