Will Normal Texting Rates Apply?

National Security

It looks like we’ll have a new system of alerting us in case of disasters or terrorist attacks: Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski said Monday that the Commercial Mobile Alert System will direct emergency messages to cell phones in case of a terrorist attack, natural disaster or other serious emergencies. The alert plan was […]

More Proof That Republicans Care Nothing About 9/11

Politics

It isn’t no secret that Republicans care not about the thousands that perished on that September morning in 2001, but it does deserve a little reminder from time to time: A Republican candidate for Governor of New York this morning reached new heights of rhetorical condemnation of health care legislation, comparing its passage to the […]

Irresponsible

Politics

Rep. Steve King is trying to justify the attack on the IRS in a discussion with Think Progress: TP: Do you think this attack, this terrorist attack, was motivated at all by a lot of the anti-tax rhetoric that’s popular in America right now? KING: I think if we’d abolished the IRS back when I […]

December 28, 2001/2009

National Security

Here is an interesting fact the internet has pulled up. On December 28, 2009, President Obama made his first public comments about the attempted bombing on Christmas day – 3 days after the incident. On December 28, 2001, President Bush made his first public comments about Richard Reid’s failed bombing attempt. That was 7 days […]

Republicans Don’t Care About Terrorism – They Care About Playing Politics

National Security

We saw it after Ft. Hood and now we are seeing it again – a Republican Party that cares nothing about actual terrorism, but rather playing politics with it. A perfect example of this is Mary Matalin, who said on CNN yesterday that Bush “inherited” the 9/11 attacks. Inherited to the point that Bush ignored […]

Pete Hoekstra Said We Had A Terrorist Attack Yesterday

National Security

The news of the “attempted bombing” of a Northwest flight from Amsterdam to Detroit yesterday has brought out the craziness of the right, and nothing is crazier than this statement from Pete Hoekstra: So if we are considering what happened yesterday a terrorist attack, then does that mean Richard Reid, the shoe-bomber, was also a […]

Republicans Attempted Filibuster Of Defense Appropriations Bill

Politics

This is something I never thought I would see: Senate Republicans said Thursday that they would try to filibuster a massive Pentagon bill that funds the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, an unusual move that several acknowledged was an effort to delay President Obama’s health-care legislation. Late into the night, Democrats emerged from a huddle […]

Perino Claims We Didn’t Have A Terrorist Attack During The Bush Years

Misc

I am speechless: While they are calling Ft. Hood a terrorist attack, Dana Perino, George Bush’s press secretary, says “we didn’t have a terrorist attack on our country under the Bush term” and Sean Hannity just lets it go. We had the biggest terrorist attack in history on Bush’s watch. How could Perino and Hannity […]

This Is How Bush Protects America

Misc

By having his agencies screw up the terrorist watch list: A new Justice Department audit shows that for nearly three years the FBI gave outdated, incomplete and error-riddled data about terror suspects to be added to the government’s watchlist. Overall, the audit by the department’s inspector general gives the FBI a mixed review for its […]
