Veteran's Day

Confederate Yankee — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:32:49 PST

The monuments in Washington all seemed false in the cool morning mist. They were big and white and extravagant, yet the tourists cheapened them somehow as they gawked, took photos, and scurried to the next place on their list...

Well Done, Mr. President

Confederate Yankee — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:38:22 PST

Bush Visits Hood Wounded, Families

Tone Deaf

Confederate Yankee — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:09:28 PST

Here is President Obama's bizarrely flippant address yesterday afternoon in response to the massacre at Fort Hood conducted by Major Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army psychiatrist. Robert A. George was quick to call the President for his frightening insensitivity and...

Confederate Yankee — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:22:36 PST

A Simple Request

Confederate Yankee — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:24:12 PST

The 1,990-page Democratic plot to enable the government-rationing of your family's health care has grown yet again, and now weighs in a bloating and putrid 2,032 pages long. The additional 42 pages recently added give the government even more control...
