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.

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.
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.

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.
It's unavoidable: this week's debates on the Hill will invite the usual criticism of Democrats. That we're weak on terror, or obstructionists. That we cut and run, or enable terrorists, or sympathize with al-Qaeda.

Given the intense unpopularity of President Bush, it is easy to hear everything he says through a lens of cynicism.
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.

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.

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.
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 …
All perceptions of irony aside, I think there's at least a shred of truth to this story. Goldwater was my cousin; his father converted their family to Christianity and 'Americanized' their name, but his legacy still lives on in Phoenix, where I'm from, and — apparently …
Bush's press conferences and unscripted remarks are so painfully bad, it spurs the question: what is his problem?
If you happen upon something strange and endemic while perusing your favorite websites next Friday around noon, don't worry: it's not your computer, and it's definitely not a government conspiracy. As a matter of fact, you can join right in.

There's no place better than the other side of a debate with Joshua--whether you agree or disagree, you're bound to learn something new!
I would hate to be on the other side of a debate with Joshua. Thoughtful, concise and loves to poke holes in "windbags".

I look forward a great deal to our future discussions.
