Crawford, TX Several major liberal groups and mainline news outlets had to retreat from their latest anti-war campaign this week when they lost their latest human shield, grieving Army-mom Cindy Sheehan. Mrs. Sheehan, who lost her son, Casey, in the Iraq war 14 months ago, announced today that she was leaving her makeshift camp here to care for her ailing mother amid loud protests from MoveOn.org, MANBLA and Alec Baldwin.

It's always shocking when the left unmasks itself — it's usually very brief but when it happens not only can't you turn away, it's actually important that you don't. While it would seem impossible, the left has found a new low, this time courtesy of both the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times. On the same day, both newspapers published bizarre attacks on the most basic values of personal appearance and physical health of the president and those he supports. It's the newest indication of how frustrated and frenzied the left has grown in the face of an America...

It is time some Americans get off their blather and get real. Every day we here ad nauseam coming from the far left. Instead I am personally calling it for what it is, hate speech. Little regard is shown for America's safety when the far left uses inflammatory words to attack the president of the United States. This is not healthy political discourse that we are hearing. The radical ridiculous rhetoric has got to stop for the good of all America. Where is the American spirit to overcome the real problem called Islamic radical terrorism? It is now more than...

In a story, a "suspension of disbelief" is the willingness to take what you know to be true about the real world, and not apply it to the story's world. But what happens when the two worlds collide? We end up with scripted, celebrity-driven real world, seriously covered by a red carpet-loving media, and full of proposals that should work because, after all, they worked in their last Dreamworks film. Somewhere, there must be a script outline for this story, where fact dissolves into fiction, and vice versa, and it probably looks something like this: ______________Celebrityworld: The MovieScene I: Penn...

Q: Before the election, Alec Baldwin; Rosie O'Donnell Janeane Garafalo, Whoopi Goldberg; Al Franken; Cher; Phil Donahue; Rob Reiner, Barbra Streisand; and Jan Fonda all promised to move from the U.S, if President Bush were re-elected. Who left, and where are they now?? - Stuart Posselt, Minden, Nev. All still live in the good old USA. None seriously considered moving, and our research turned up no public "promises." That list was spread on the web and in print,perhaps to impugn the patriotism of these outspoken liberals (Bold added)

According to senate minority leader Harry Reid and his friends, democrats must block the constitutional appointment process in order to protect you from right-wing radical judges. They say they use the filibuster only in the most extreme situations, to block confirmation of extremely dangerous radicals to the bench for sake of all mankind. Heroes they are really, at least in their own minds… I can almost see their point too. Who would want some extreme right-wing wacko deciding justice in America? I mean, what if judges actually just stuck to the written law and constitution and applied them to cases...

What will Alec Baldwin find in Canada? John Leo February 14, 2005 Some 10,000 to 20,000 Americans, unable to come to terms with the re-election of President Bush, are believed poised to leave the United States and become Canadians. Many, of course, will remain permanently in the poised position, just like Alec Baldwin, who has apparently been on the tarmac for four years awaiting a plane to some other country. But suppose the disaffected 10,000 to 20,000 actually depart. Will they find happiness? Will they achieve peace of mind north of the border? No, they won’t. Instead they will find...

I present this report to you purely as an impartial observer who, as circumstance would have it, happened upon a "Stop This Senseless War" protest being waged by the Syracuse Peace Council. Now, there had been recent news reports in the Syracuse area that none other than Saddam Hussein had been making frequent visits to personally thank those "Americans" who are desirous of the withdrawal of U.S. and Coalition troops, thus allowing for the dictator's return to power. Now, I had stopped in front of the Carousel Mall enroute to finish my Christmas shopping this morning. Upon noticing the anti-American...

From Maureen Dowd's brother Kevin, a salesman who lives in Montgomery County, Md., here is a recent e-mail message, trimmed for space, he sent to friends: "Ladies and Gentlemen, Now, just as four years ago, I breathe a huge sigh of relief and rejoice in the common sense of the American voting public. Congratulations to President Bush for winning re-election in a poker game played with a stacked deck. No candidate, including Richard Nixon, ever had to endure the biased and unfair tactics of our major media in their attempt to influence the outcome of an election. He never complained,...

Inside the Beltway By John McCaslin Paris in the fall "Enjoyed your article," James B. Davis writes about our item on disgruntled Americans who are contemplating moving to Canada or beyond because they can't stomach four more years of President Bush. Mr. Davis, fittingly enough, is founder of Help.Them.Leave.com, a 501(c)3 organization that offers relocation assistance for "disenfranchised" citizens at absolutely no cost. "In return for your irrevocable renunciation of your United States citizenship, and a sworn statement that you will never return, we will provide free one-way transportation to one of our politically matched, recommended countries on one of...

Hollywood celebrities who threatened to flee the country if George W. Bush was re-elected should do the noble thing and follow through on their threats. Robert Redford can pout just as prettily in Ireland as he can in Hollywood. The aging heartthrob will find himself right at home in the poetic land that St. Patrick rid of snakes. Besides, Senator John Kerry had loads of supporters there, some of whom weighed in on the eve of election to state why they believed that Bush would likely be re-elected. . . . . To read the entire Canada Free Press newspapers...

I just got back from a sneak preview of Team America. Wow! You will clap and cheer at least a dozen times. All the actors you love to hate get what they have coming. It is graphic, it is hilarious, it has a lot of raunchy sex. But most of all, it is Team America: World Police.

Baldwin Looses Cool in Court August 25, 2004 Alec Baldwin showed up in Los Angeles family court Wednesday to tie up some loose ends in his ongoing custody dispute with ex-wife Kim Basinger, who was not present. Recently, "CJ" showed you the divorce papers of the ex-couple, which testify to the bitterness of the negotiations. Today, things turned explosive, and only "CJ" has the details. After earlier court appearances, Baldwin typically high-tailed it, literally running away from the crush of press outside. Today in court, the star fidgeted in his chair and told the judge he wanted to be heard....

Actor Stephen Baldwin is one of few conservatives in Hollywood.

Democrats are possibly planning a possible "one day Democratic extravaganza," late in August.

Hollywood gives us some of the best unscripted moments in Boston. Friday, July 30, 2004 12:01 a.m. EDT On behalf of refuting the idea that celebrities have nothing interesting to say about politics, we've culled the following comments surrounding this week's Democratic National Convention in Boston: Actor Ben Affleck, responding to Chris Matthews on MSNBC's "Hardball" about where he fits on the political landscape in Arnold Schwarzenegger's California: "I'm definitely a girlie man."

Boston (CNSNews.com) - The chairman of the Democratic National Committee on Thursday defended actor Alec Baldwin''s remark at an official DNC event that the GOP has been "hijacked by these fundamentalist wackos." DNC chair Terry McAuliffe told CNSNews.com, "Alec Baldwin said that? But you know what? [Vice President] Dick Cheney went on the floor of the United States senate and told a fellow senator to go "blank'' himself." "Alec Baldwin can speak for himself, anybody can speak for themselves," McAuliffe said. "Now I am sorry, I am not going to be too outraged over Alec Baldwin when the incumbent vice...

Alec Baldwin says he's a new man. After an ugly split from actress Kim Basinger--and a decade of headlines about the couple's acrimonious public spats--he insists he's no longer a tabloid-hating, Republican-baiting angry tough guy. "I am changed as a human being as a result of this," Baldwin says. "I don't want any unnecessary conflict. I don't want to take any risks. . . . You wind up living a very cautious lifestyle after something like this happens to you." As for his professional life, he's taking on a fresh role: Hollywood's new comeback kid. There's Oscar buzz around his...

ALEC “The Bloviator” Baldwin has a new bosom buddy: Beltway Republican strategist Grover Norquist. The Bush-bashing actor-turned-activist and the Muslim vote-courting political organizer joined together at a Washington, D.C.-area conference last weekend to perpetuate bald lies about the Patriot Act and to oppose the “repressive” War on Terror (repressing terrorist suspects apparently being a bad thing). Baldwin and Norquist’s panel, titled “Strange Bedfellows,” was sponsored by the ultraliberal group People For the American Way (PFAW). When PFAW head and panel participant Ralph Neas ranted about the lack of judicial and congressional oversight of the Justice Department’s terror investigations, the audience...
