Latest CNN Poll Shows Deepening Discontent for War; Only 11% Support 'Surge'

A new poll released Monday reflects increasing hostility — a 70 percent disapproval rating — for the Bush administration's already failing war effort. In the newest poll, a meager 27 percent of Americans polled believe that the U.S.

Former U.S. Rep. Gerry Studds Dies; Free Republic Mocks His Life

Studds, the first openly-gay Congressman in American history, died of a blood clot in his lung. This is how Free Republic reacts. This is how the "culture of Life" reacts. Sick sick sick sick sick sick.

North Korea Tests Nuclear Weapon Despite Warnings

Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency claimed Monday that the country had completed its first successful nuclear test, hailing the underground detonation as a "great leap forward" for the people of North Korea.

Overlooked Wash. Post. Article Shines New (Old?) Light on Bush Admin's "Contempt for Competence"

This article was seeded by Chip Smith upon first publication, but totally ignored (0 votes, 0 comments).

If you can't beat them, do something completely absurd.

So, apparently, this is the latest from the country's best conservative bloggers at FreeRepublic.com. Yes, that's right -- these are the best minds in the GOP blogosphere.

Not-So-Disturbing Trend on Newsvine

There's nothing like a warm cup of journalistic integrity after a long day on the 'Vine. It's a glamourless job, really; a chilling proposition frought with peril and bitter, unrelenting opposition -- yet, but for the grace of sanity, we soldier on.

Who Are "We, the People", Anyway?

My last article, "Do Muslims Really Want to Kill Americans in America", caused quite a stir a few days ago. Since then, I've fielded scores of comments and hosted the first sizeable chat (four people!) I've ever seen on Newsvine.

A Soldier's View of Iraq and American Adventurism

This is not a partisan piece, nor does it pander to "lefties", self-described or otherwise.  This incredible piece of true historical analysis and journalism should be required reading for every American political candidate... No, scratch that — every American.  Period.

Conservatives Speak Out: Government Doesn't Represent Morals

Since the original posting of this story, more than 800 comments have been posted — many from soldiers and former supporters of the current administration — and the message is resounding: real conservatives understand that, while the Democratic party may not share their moral …

A New, Unlikely Hero for Democrats?
