Huckabee, Whatever Should the GOP Do with Him?

The polls show Huckabee ahead of even Guiliani. Ace is declaring this a disaster, cause Ace says Huck can't win.

A Corner reader thinks Huck emerging indicates a new post-conservatism movement in politics.

Powerline asks if Huck would turn out to be more like Reagan or Carter.

More Hillary Clinton Debate Fallout

Leftist, feminist MSM reporter, Ruth Marcus, wasn't wowed by Hillary's debate performance this week:

The Hill newspaper, listening in on a conference call with Clinton fundraisers, quoted chief strategist Mark Penn being even more explicit about the "backlash" he was detecting among female voters: "Those female voters are saying, 'Sen. Clinton needs our support now more than ever if we're going to see this six-on-one to try to bring her down.' "

Please. The Philadelphia debate was not exactly a mob moment to trigger the Violence Against Women Act; if anything, this has been an overly (pardon the phrase) gentlemanly campaign to date. Those other guys were beating up on Clinton, if you can call that beating up, because she is the strong front-runner, not because she is a weak woman.

But, in typical liberal fashion, Marcus ultimately comes to Hillary's rescue. But Ed Morrissey capably fisks her column.

Hillary set that last cause back a few steps, and Marcus fails to realize it. By playing the damsel in distress, she wants to eat her cake and have it, too. Hillary wants to project strength but pull a fainting spell when other candidates treat her as an equal -- and as a frontrunner -- by challenging her on her policies. A fainting spell might serve as a distraction from the two disastrous answers she gave in the debate, but America won't elect Scarlett O'Hara as President. The voters want strength in the Oval Office, not passive-aggressive hypocrisy.

Here's a disturbing factoid that's related to whether or not illegal immigrants should have drivers licenses (and, consequently, be able to vote):

After 9/11, the Justice Department found that eight of the 19 hijackers were registered to vote.

And, yes, after her Democrat debate debacle, Hillary confirmed that she supports giving drivers licenses to illegal immigrants.

Hillary Clinton Messed Up in Democrat Debate

Hillary Clinton, the Democrat candidate of inevitability, was a mess last night when it came to illegal immigration. Here's one really smart conservative guy who doesn't think that she won that debate.

 

UPDATE: Be sure to read Ed Morrissey's post, where he describes just how bad Hillary's answer was to this illegal immigration problem, just what a bureaucratic nightmare multiple drivers licenses will be for the state of New York.

UPDATE II: Hugh Hewitt's got more:

We now know something that we did not know before: When Hillary Clinton has a bad night, she really has a bad night.

Arson & the California Wildfires

A Guatemalan native was arrested by police in Los Angeles because people saw him lighting a fire on a hillside. Catalino Pineda is said by authorities to currently be on probation for making excessive false emergency reports to law enforcement. Michelle Malkin adds a lot of important immigration background in this video clip:

Al-Qaeda Is Calling the Waaa-ambulance in Iraq

Happy reports that there's been a drop in fresh al-Qaeda recruits going into Iraq. The improvement for our side is a result of the surge, and the fact that al-Qaeda's beheading of citizens best practices royally ticks the local population off. So al-Qaeda's begging their leaders in Afghanistan to send more jihadis.

There are indications of disturbing al-Qaeda related developments in Mexico, though.

Every American Should Watch Obsession, the Movie - UPDATED

I just watched for free, via an internet video stream (see update below, as the video has been pulled from Google Video), the movie, Obsession, Radical Islam's War Against the West. This is a powerful documentary that every American should see. Please send the link to the movie to everyone that you know. The movie contains:

• Hitler meeting with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem during World War II
• Video from an Arab TV station portraying stories of Jewish blood libel
• Interviews by Steve Emerson and Daniel Pipes among others

I have put a permanent link to Obsession, Radical Islam's War Against the West, in the upper right column of this blog.

Michael Medved wrote about this film:

"Obsession" is one of the most powerful, expertly crafted and undeniably important films I've seen this year. This courageous, utterly gripping expose' deserves the attention of every American -- and merits serious consideration for the Academy Award for Best Feature Length Documentary."

As someone I know said:

This is a documentary we all need to watch.  The footage in this film will BLOW YOUR MIND!!!!  WAKE UP AMERICA...WE'RE IN THE FIGHT OF OUR LIVES, in case you hadn't noticed.

Again, please watch this movie and send the link to the film to everyone you know.

 

UPDATED 9/20/2006: The video stream posted above of the movie, Obsession, was pulled from the internet today (I think). I have sent a message to Obsession, the Movie people to ask what their policy is where internet streaming of their movie is concerned.

Meanwhile, I've purchased a DVD copy of the film from their website.

UPDATED 9/21/2006: The excellent docu-drama from ABC, Path to 9-11, is available online at the ABC web site here.
