Out with the old, in with the new. Enough of 2006, “the year of retreat” as Ben Shapiro aptly called it. America slumped as a world leader, and conservatives got shellacked at the polls. Let’s say goodbye to all that and roar into 2007. True principles and iron will to enact them, the spirit I call backbone, should be our resolve for this new year.

“Backbone Radio with John Andrews” on Sunday, January 7, will shrug off the snowstorms and sound the call that it’s time to grow a spine. We’re back to live shows after two holiday weekends. We invite you to listen and call in.

** What’s next on the left-liberal battle plan to transform our country? I’ll ask David Horowitz, author of “The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party.” (more…)

Earnest resolutions to change and do better, upon the occasion of turning a new calendar page, don’t usually appeal to me. But after a terrible 2006 for the GOP, it’s time to sober up and begin anew. Here are five promises to ourselves for 2007 that I believe we ought to make as Republicans :

1- Be as devout as Washington in understanding America as a nation under God.

2- Be as forceful as Lincoln in upholding the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution as the political religion of the nation.

3- Be as implacable as Churchill in defending the great heritage of Western civilization and the English-speaking peoples.

4- Be as resolute as Reagan in pursuing victory over the Islamofascist enemy in World War III until, in his words, “We win and they lose.”

5- Fight fiercely, cheerfully, and relentlessly for our convictions and against our enemies, with one focus each morning: “What can we do to them today?”

Sadaam Hussein, the man who thought of himself as the Nebuchadnezzar of this age, is dead. He is better described as a modern-day Haman, who plotted the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people. Like the villain in the biblical book of Esther, he put himself in the judgment seat of God –and for so doing, was hanged on his own gallows.

Sadaam and his degenerate family squandered the wealth of Iraq. He terrorized the Iraqi people while he built opulent monuments to his own glory. He subsidized the families of “Palestinian” suicide bombers who sent their children to murder innocent people. He destroyed the lives of thousands of people. Why should he not be hanged?

Do I lack compassion? No! I would that Sadaam’s life had happened for good and not for evil, but Sadaam made his own choices and our choices all have consequences. Can any intelligent person say that they would be willing to live in an Islamic world under a tyrant like Sadaam Hussein or Mahmud Amadinejad? (more…)
