"STANDING IN THE WAY: DEMOCRATS BLOCK BOLTON AGAIN" "A capacity for straight talking rather than peddling half-truths is a strength and not a disadvantage in diplomacy," wrote Margaret Thatcher in a letter of support for John Bolton. "In the case of a great power like America, it is essential that people know where you stand and assume you know what you say." It is unfortunate that the words of the former British prime minister, who has strongly backed Bolton's nomination to be U.S. ambassador to the UN, have not been heeded by his detractors. Instead, they have embarked upon an odious campaign of character assassination that has undermined American interests on the world stage. More: humaneventsonline.com

"LIBERAL CHUCK SCHUMER HAULS IN CASH FROM CORPORATE AMERICA" If you believe the mainstream media, the GOP is the party of big business. If you look at the facts, though, you see a different story. Actually, perhaps the favorite politician of big business is also one of the most liberal members of Congress: Sen. Chuck Schumer. Schumer clearly is doing something big business likes, as his campaign finance records show. More: humaneventsonline.com

"CASH WARFARE" Michael Moore recently awarded six students $2,500 each after they applied for his first annual "Freedom of Speech Scholarship at Cal State San Marcos." According to Moore's website, the scholarship rewarded students who "have stood up to their administration and fought for students' rights." In essence, Moore was upset his invitation to speak at Cal State San Marcos last fall was delayed by President Karen Haynes who said the school was prohibited from using state funds for partisan political activity during the election season.

Ann Coulter: Guantanamo Loses Five-Star Rating If you still have any doubts about whether closing Guantanamo is the right thing to do, Jimmy Carter recently cleared that up by demanding that it be closed. With any luck, he'll try to effect another one of those daring "rescue" attempts. Here's a foolproof method for keeping America safe: Always do the exact 180-degree opposite of whatever Jimmy Carter says, as quickly as possible. (Instead of Guantanamo, how about we close down the Carter Center?) Sen. Dick Durbin says the prison camp is reminiscent of the "Nazis, Soviets in their gulags or some mad regime-Pol Pot or others." (He then offered the typical Democrat "if/then" non-apology: i.e. "if my remarks offended anyone," based on the rather remote possibility any sentient, English-speaking adult who didn't hate America could have heard them and not been offended.) Amnesty International calls Guantanamo a "gulag." Sen. Teddy Kennedy says he cannot condone allegations of near-drowning "as a human being." And Sen. Patrick Leahy calls it "an international embarrassment," as opposed to himself, a "national embarrassment." On the bright side, at least liberals have finally found a group of people in Cuba whom they think deserve to be rescued. More from Ann here: humaneventsonline.com
