Earlier this evening, President Bush gave an excellent speech outlining his plan for Iraq and basically dispelling the frail Democratic arguments. Here is the text of the speech. Please read it all, especially if you disagree with President Bush.

One week ago, the Pope came under scrutiny for a speech about God and reason (the full text can be found here). He begins the body of the speech by describing a dialogue during the late 14th century between “Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus and an educated Persian on the subject of Christianity and Islam, [...]

Last Friday, I attended an Operation Completion rally at the Sacramento capitol with my sister and dad. Operation Completion’s mission is “to provide constructive support for our troops and reinforce the mentality that we need to defend America and to support the War on Terror to Victory.” All of the rallies were planned by [...]

Over the past two months, there has been a frenzy of media attention over the takeover of P&O (a London-based company) by Dubai Ports World (a United Arab Emirates company). This was suddenly ended when the company agreed to sell their American operations to an American shipping company.
Both Republican and Democratic politicians have been [...]

Here’s an interesting article in the National Review. I think it sums things up quite accurately. Here’s an excerpt:
After September 11 national-security-minded Democratic politicians fell over each other, voting for all sorts of tough measures. They passed the Patriot Act, approved the war in Afghanistan, voted to authorize the removal of Saddam Hussein, and [...]

From the Boston Globe-
Student’s tall tale revealed
Confesses fabricating US surveillance story
By Jonathan Saltzman, Globe Staff | December 24, 2005
It rocketed across the Internet a week ago, a startling newspaper report that agents from the US Department of Homeland Security had visited a student at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth at his New Bedford [...]

First, there is no right to privacy specifically stated in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. If the right to privacy was to be protected by the government, or in this case, seemingly protected from the government, you would think that they would have stated it, as it would be important. Now, some of [...]

President Bush gave a radio address yesterday confronting the accusations of “illegal spying”. I thought I should share it in its entirety, since these allegations still continue.
THE PRESIDENT: “Good morning.
As President, I took an oath to defend the Constitution, and I have no greater responsibility than to protect our people, our freedom, and our way [...]

So I might be a few days late, but I still want to comment on Iraq’s election.
Before the United States invaded, Iraq was still under the dictatorship of Saddamn Hussein. Now, however, Iraqis are able to proudly vote and elect their own government. They have gone from oppression to democracy in only close [...]

I really don’t want to just reiterate what other people have already said, so if you haven’t heard this story before, click here before you read further.
OK, my school’s political club is having this as the main topic in our meeting tomorrow, which was not my decision. I really don’t think that we will have [...]

Eric Hogue has a blog entry about Move America Forward. In it he states, “Cindy Sheehan has no expert position. She has used the death of her own son as a soapbox to stand upon and shout her leftist ideologies at the President and our military.” I totally agree with this. Just [...]

I found this presentation on all of the al-Qaeda Attacks since 1998, when “the International Islamic Front declared war on us.” It’s a little eerie, but very, very interesting. It really puts things in perspective.

I know this isn’t new news, but an article in USA Today says, “Soldiers are re-enlisting at rates ahead of the Army’s targets, even as overall recruiting is suffering after two years of the Iraq war.” This leads me to believe that the would-be Army recruits are being discouraged by the news here [...]

Today I joined the “You Don’t Speak For Me, Cindy!” caravan at their stop in Sacramento. Soon afterward, I left this audio post:

As any readers (“readers” is probably wishful thinking) that listen to the news probably know, Cindy Sheehan has been using her son’s death in Iraq as a reason for the withdrawal of troops and has been demanding that President Bush talk to her. I am sympathetic to her loss, but find it very hard to [...]
