Give a frontiersman coffee and tobacco, and he will endure any privation, suffer any hardship, but let him be without these two necessaries of the woods, and he becomes irresolute and murmuring. ~ U.S. Army Lt. William Whiting, 1849

Iowa Voice (Brian) When Will The Left Understand That We’re At War? — “Democrats in Congress just don’t get the fact that we’re at war. They’re determined that we grant terrorists the same rights that American citizens have in the courts:”

Blue Crab Boulevard House Passes (Insert Misnomer Here) Bill — “The House of Representatives has passed what the media continues to call a “warrantless wiretap” bill. It is not, of course. What the House passed is a bill allowing specific telephone calls to be listened to under specific circumstances.”

Flopping Aces (Curt) The Detainee Bill — “Nothing can tell us more about the Democratic party then today’s shenanigans with the Detainee bill. That the left would scream about protecting the terrorists right to have Habaes Corpus and access to classified information should tell you and the American people everything we want to know about them:”

The Jawa Report (Bluto) Teddy Kennedy Promises Democrats Will Gut National Security Measures if Elected — “In forty days, given Democratic majorities in the Senate and House, we can put an end to five years without a terrorist attack on American soil. We can put an end to terrorists being aggressively questioned about upcoming attacks and the whereabouts of their cronies. We can put an end to thousands of terrorists dying in Iraq, instead of Manhattan.”
