Some additional musings about Fred Thompson’s comments regarding defending Americans from terrorists.
As a proud member of the Jack Bauer caucus (h/t Perfunction), it is so refreshing to see a candidate say that he would do whatever it takes to defend the lives of Americans who are at risk of imminent attack, as Fred Thompson recently stated [...]
As the Republican party begins the grind through the primary season and starts the process of determining who its standard-bearer will be, it can be problematic for individuals who count themselves as loyal Republicans, as well as their conservative brethren, to forthrightly and bluntly critique a candidate while simultaneously remaining faithful to Reagan’s 11th commandment not to criticize a fellow Republican. Perhaps that commandment can [...]
No, not the incoming planes low on fuel to Dulles Airport, but the forthcoming campaign stops in key early primary states. The announcement preceding the official Sept. 6th announcement is in the can, and Fred Thompson is about to put his electoral gambit to the test. We have had no shortage of opinions regarding whether Fred waited to long to formally announce [...]
If you happen to be a C-SPAN junkie like me, and you’re somebody who schedules your day around its Washington Journal show, perhaps you need to get out of the house more often. Nonetheless, I highly recommend that you watch David Rivkin thoroughly dissemble Glenn Greenwald in debating the merits of the latest revisions to the FISA law. Rivkin’s analysis and explanation of the inner workings of the federal government and the National [...]
A little over a week ago, Washington Post Op-Ed columnist Richard Cohen penned a piece on Fred Thompson entitled “He Just Plays a Straight Shooter”, a reference to the straight-shooting, no-BS character roles Thompson excels at portraying, pitted woefully in contrast to Cohen’s perception of Thompson’s real-life political role, asserting that Fred’s candor and integrity are severely [...]
First, it was adding tens of thousands of felons back to the voter rolls, giving Democrats a significantly better chance of claiming Florida’s electroral votes in the presidential election, or at the very least, capturing more House seats.

Democratic opposition researchers are assembling its a number of anti-FDT talking points, and so far, these criticisms are either of the frivolous or meritless variety. [...]
If the slow-witted IAEA is concluding that Iran’s nuclear enrichment is moving full steam ahead, we are getting much closer to the military showdown with Iran that is inevitable. The next tell-tale sign that this conflict is imminent will be when Iran tells the IAEA to take a hike- it looks like we are much further [...]
Well, even the mainstream media has gotten around to reporting the fact that assorted terrorist groups are getting a foothold throughout Latin America. Read the following story, watch the video interviewing a future jihadist, and ask yourself- do you think there’s any way to reason with this dead-ender? Do you think it would take any [...]
National Review’s self-designated den mother, Kathryn Lopez, published my super-brief political musing in NRO’s Corner which I penned during an extended period of downtime at work today. K-Lo had published an earlier email suggesting a 2008 unity ticket comprised of Fred Thompson and Joe Lieberman, but I reckoned that Fred wouldn’t want to be jousting with a dyed-in-the-wool liberal on non-foreign policy matters, so I pushed off the following:
