The Clinton-Kim 1994 Agreement, Midwifed by Jimmy Carter, Bears its Fruit
9 October 2006I stole that headline from Hugh Hewitt’s column on Townhall.com. As most are probably aware, it appears that North Korea has made good on its threat to perform its first nuclear test. Now we have a proven nuclear capability in the hands of Kim Jong Il. The much touted agreement between Clinton and North Korea [...]
Madam Speaker
6 October 2006Up to this point I have been relatively optimistic that Republicans could hold on to Congress, albeit with the thinest of margins. I no longer hold on to that optimism. The events of the last week, on top of all that has gone before, have pretty well dashed all hope of Republican control of the [...]
Foley Fallout
3 October 2006Mark Foley is a pervert and a sexual deviant, that much seems apparent. I absolutely agree with Democrats that anyone in the House who actually knew what Foley was doing should resign. There is absolutely no excuse for Foley’s behavior nor for others in the House covering for him. However, at this point in time [...]
Polls, Politics and Real Leadership
29 September 2006There are many and varied people who disagree with George Bush’s approach to national security and the war with Islamic fascism. Some of those disagreements are serious and principled. But the DNC’s strategy in the mid-term election is not. Whatever you think of Bush’s management of the war, no one honestly argues that he throws [...]
It’s Taken Over Five Years But…
29 September 2006George Bush has finally stood up and is saying what needs OT be said. In a speech in Birmingham at a Republican fundraiser for Alabama Gov. Bob Riley Bush said: “Five years after 9/11, the worst attack on the American homeland in our history, Democrats offer nothing but criticism and obstruction and endless second-guessing.” Truer [...]

This blogburst generally comes out every Tuesday so look for it here each week. by TD of The Right Track A quick and dirty search through Google News for articles, news, and editorials revealed no less than 14 pieces written in the last month [...]
NIE Games
26 September 2006The Democrats have made much hay over the last day or so over leaks from the NIE (national intelligence estimate). The claim is that the NIE shows that the US presence in Iraq has contributed to al Qaeda recruitment with the result that we are less secure than we were before 9/11. President Bush has [...]
One Citizen, One Vote
26 September 2006Yesterday Neal Boortz went on at length about the fact that the Constitution nowhere contains a right to vote. To be sure, many state Constitutions do contain such a right but it does not exist in the US Constitution. Still, most American’s believe there is an absolute right to vote. Without getting to far into [...]
Santorum Facing the Music?
23 September 2006Conservative Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum is looking more and more like a lame duck these days. The latest Gallop pole has Democrat Bob Casey leading by 18 points. Real Clear Politics points out the disappointing state polling in the last election but even if they are off by 10 points, that still leaves Santorum with [...]
The Moral Emptiness of the Left
13 September 2006I just read what was, perhaps, the best article I’ve ever read. It was written by James Lewis at The American Thinker and I wish I’d written it. It embodies what I have been thinking and writing in my head for some time. Since I can’t improve on Lewis’ work I’ll just let him speak [...]
