Thought they'd sneak one by me, did they?

It's stuff like this you have to be on the lookout for:

Debra Saunders of the San Francisco Chronicle writes what appears to be a commentary favorable to the United States and its allies in the War on Terror, titled Blame Blair or Bush, not the Bombers.

But she fires off a sneak attack on the Pro-Life movement with this paragraph:

Imagine, as I've written before, if anti-abortion terrorists began killing innocent civilians and said they would stop only if the government outlaws abortion. (After all, if terrorism wins for Islamic extremists, why shouldn't U.S. extremists adopt it?) The Left would not fault pro-abortion policies. The Left would not blame the government for legalizing abortion. The Left -- correctly -- would denounce the terrorists, the violence and any attempt to extort policy by threatening innocent lives.

Reasonable on it's face, but - Hey wait a minute! Why does being anti-abortion make me an extremist? I don't know whether to be completely outraged or bemused by the fact that there seems to be some actual cross-over going on now with Liberals who support the War.

Vigilance.

J. K. Rowling: She's on our side

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a great book. I read it in four days and I refuse to say anything that would give it away. However, there is one passage that describes the Bush Doctrine in words that any child can understand. And I quote:

And Harry remembered...the first time he had ever encountered the thing that was then Voldemort, and how he had faced him, and how he and Dumbledore had discussed fighting a losing battle not long thereafter. It was important, Dumbledore said, to fight, and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then could evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated....

I wish that the Dems could see it that way.

UPDATE: Iowahawk finds a somewhat more, er, demented way to say the same thing.

Iowahawk is my hero!

This is hysterical. You gotta check this out: Stop Comparing Me To American Moonbats

Stupid Greta poll of the day #2

The question is not so bad. It's the lack of good answers that bothers me:

What best describes your view of sex offenders who assault children?

Some can be 'cured' and stop assaulting with proper treatment
Nothing can be done to stop them from assaulting
All could be 'cured' with proper treatment
I used to think they could be 'cured,' now I do not believe it
None of the above

The correct answer is None of the above, since the real answer is "They are dangerous, uncontrollable animals who must be caged or put down."

Proving there is no middle ground

And here I thought it was conservatives who had the biggest beef against Justice O'Connor. I have to admit, when I first heard that it was she who was retiring and not Chief Justice Rehnquist, my heart soared. We are only going to be treading water when a true conservative retires during a conservative presidency. But the chance for President Bush to nominate a conservative to replace a moderate is wonderful.

Meanwhile, over at the Daily Kos, we see proof positive that Rush is right about moderates. With "Four Down and One To Go", the ultra left demonstrates they hate moderates more than conservatives do. To be sure, Sandra Day-O'Connor's mortal sin, in the eyes of the left, was her vote to end manual recounting of ballots in Florida back in 2000. Somehow, though, I think they would have found another reason to vilify her, had it not been for Bush vs. Gore. Be sure to read the comments, for they are hysterical, in more ways than one.
