New York Representative Maurice Hinchey is delusional

New York Representative Maurice Hinchey has an unusually idiotic conspiracy theory. He believes that George W. Bush intentionally prevented U.S. soldiers from capturing Osama Bin Laden in December, 2001. Here is Congressman Hinchey’s twisted logic:

“Look what happened with regard to our invasion into Afghanistan, how we apparently intentionally let bin Laden get away,” Hinchey said during an interview on MSNBC.

“That was done by the previous administration because they knew very well that if they would capture al Qaeda, there would be no justification for an invasion in Iraq,” the Democratic congressman continued. “There’s no question that the leader of the military operations of the U.S. called back our military, called them back from going after the head of al Qaeda.”

When host David Shuster followed up to ask if Hinchey really thought Bush “deliberately let Osama bin Laden get away,” the congressman responded: “Yes, I do.” » read more

Warning signs should have prevented the murder of four police officers

Four Lakewood, WA police officers were murdered in a coffee shop while preparing to begin their shift. The suspect, Maurice Clemmons, walked in and allegedly shot all four officers and left. Police are currently searching for Clemmons.

When violent crimes of this nature occur locally, I normally check out the suspect’s criminal record. More often than not, there is a list of previous offenses with lengthy sentences that were never served. Unfortunately, this case is no different. Clemmons has a long criminal history in both Arkansas and Washington. Clemmons was recently released on bail for a pending charge of child rape, and he is also facing another 7 felony accounts. In addition to these charges, he had a lengthy criminal history in Arkansas. Here’s a summary: » read more

Illegal aliens and the road to health care

When Representative Joe Wilson called President Barack Obama a “liar” for insisting illegal immigrants wouldn’t be eligible for insurance under any of the health care plans, he was on to something. Barack Obama and the Democrats have insisted that illegal immigrants will not receive government subsidized benefits, but this is only partially true.

Many workers would be required to obtain health insurance from their employers. Illegal aliens wouldn’t be eligible for subsidies if they’re honest about their status, but those who provide false documents and lie about their status will be eligible. Maybe I’m wrong, but if someone will break U.S. laws by coming here illegally, then why wouldn’t they break more laws to get free or reduced cost benefits? Then they can get free benefits and have legal residents and citizens foot the bill. » read more

Michael Moore warns Barack Obama about ‘the haters’

One of the most annoying, nauseating people around is director Michael Moore. On the day before Barack Obama is set to announce his plans for Afghanistan, we have Michael Moore encouraging the President to ignore “the haters.”

According to Michael Moore, Obama is trying to satisfy the “tea baggers,” and will essentially be betraying the trust placed in him by those who voted for him. I’m not sure if Michael Moore realizes this, but does he know that Osama Bin Laden was operating from Afghanistan? Does he know that if the U.S. were to depart, the country would become even more chaotic and controlled by terrorists? » read more
