Strib on Coleman-Franken Senate Election

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

I don't often agree with the editorial board at the Star Tribune, but this time it looks like they got it right. In their current editorial concerning the ongoing battle for the U.S. Senate between Norm Coleman and Al Franken, the Strib points out that it will take a judge ...

Strib Says “No” on Sales Tax Amendment

Friday, October 24th, 2008

It's a rare day indeed when I agree with the Editorial Board at the Star Tribune, but when it comes to the sales tax referendum that Minnesotans are facing, I am actually in agreement with them. The Strib is pushing a "No" vote on the referendum that would add a state ...

NYT vs. WSJ on Voter ID

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

The Star Tribune is running a series of excerpts from the New York Times and the Wall Street journal on the recent Supreme Court decision concerning Indiana's recent photo ID requirement for voting. The piece in the Strib does not come down on either side directly, but I think we ...

The Liberal Mindset

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Michael Wigley of the Taxpayers League of Minnesota writing for the Red Star Tribune this week makes some interesting points in respect to a column by Lori Sturdevant recently published by the Strib. Sturdevant unwittingly defines a fundamental liberal problem in her first paragraph: "Reform of big, Byzantine public systems is cyclical ...

Strib Supports Boracle Nobel Prize

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

The editorial staff of the Red Star Tribune ran an editorial piece about Al Gore and his recent Nobel Peace Prize for his work in propaganda. In it, they claim the Boracle can do more good outside the beltway rather than reentering the political arena, while blasting at conservatives ...

Leftie Blogger Moonbats About Rally Turnout

Saturday, October 13th, 2007

This was in the Opinion pages of the Star Tribune the other day. It's by a left-wingnut complaining about the lack of participation at a recent rally to support terrorism (they call them "peace" rallies). In it she writes: In Ken Burns' recent series, "The War," a veteran says the ...

Clifford May On Tough Talk We Should Hear

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

Reading the editorial page in the Star Tribune is hit or miss; Jekyll or Hyde; Night or day. A couple of days ago it was Syl Jones moonbatting about the war in Iraq and the Bush Administration. That's the night, the Mr. Hyde, the miss. Today it is a piece ...

Red Star Strikes At Petreus

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

The Red Star Tribune, in living up to its leftist agenda, is running an editorial today, the Sixth Anniversary (for lack of better words) of the attacks of 9/11. It starts off benignly enough, mentioning that today two airliners slammed into the World Trade Center, killing some 2700 people. ...

Lefties Tap Emotions To Push Tax Increases

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

It comes as no surprise to me that once again the Red Star Tribune is publishing an opinion piece pushing for a tax increase. This time it is blaming Republicans and conservatives for not wanting to increase taxes to pay for roads and infrastructure. That's what we already pay taxes ...

Strib Wrong (as usual) on National Intelligence Estimate

Friday, July 20th, 2007

The Red Star Tribune editorial staff is off to their usual tricks of biased reporting and scare-mongering. This time in response to the National Intelligence Estimate released this week. The bigger question is: are they reading the same report I am? If so, how can they come to the ...

Harrop Just Doesn’t Get America

Friday, July 13th, 2007

Froma Harrop's column in the Red Star Tribune is not exactly full of surprises. She rants on about how bush will go down in "ignomy" for "trying to wage an unnecessary war on the cheap," referring to the war in Iraq, and how America is a nation of ...

Terrosit Propaganda in the Red Star Tribune

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

I am stunned that the a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.startribune.com/commentary/story/1267828.html">Star Tribune would publish a propaganda piece for a terrorist organization. No, I am not speaking of al-Qaeda, but Hamas. This is sickening. If I were a subscriber to the Red Star Tribune I would cancel my subscription. ...

Global Warming: Loons Gone Wild 5

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

The Red Star Tribune has a piece by Brian Rambert that is, once again, calling an end of the debate on the causes of global warming and silencing those of us who do not accept the theory put forth by the hard-left that it is due to the activities of ...

Carter Vs. Bush

Friday, May 25th, 2007

I have yet to figure out how the editorial staff at the Red Star Tribune could be so wrong about things so often. Today's installment form the Paper of Surrender concern's former President jimmy Carter's statement about the Bush administration being "the worst in history." At least in ...

Star Tribune Votes Surrender

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

It looks as though the Star Tribune is changing its name to the Surrender Tribune, as it rails against the probable capitulation by the Democrats in Congress on setting conditions of surrender to terrorists in regards to funding our Armed Forces currently operating in Iraq. So far, the attempts ...

Can We Win In Iraq

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

Steve Chapman has a very weird analogy on the continued U.S. operations in Iraq. From the Red Star Tribune: When police found Shawn Hornbeck living with his alleged abductor four years after he was kidnapped, the question arose: Why didn't the 15-year-old simply run away? But trapped and isolated, a ...

Red Star Tribune Sides With Communist China

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

Looks like the Red Star Tribune is living up to its name once again, this time taking the side of Communist China after that country successfully destroyed one of its weather satellites as a show of force, the old "we can knock out satellites, too." In its editorial today ...

Star Tribune On Victory In Iraq

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007

Interesting editorial from the Red Star Tribune on how Democrats are now being blamed for the "mess" in Iraq. A new, pernicious line of argument is taking hold in Washington that should be clunked in the head until it dies. It holds that the Democrats in Congress are to blame for ...

The Probable Demise of the MSM

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

Here's a good one from the Red Star Tribune by Aggergaard. He is complaining that the recent sale of the Strib, along with earlier sales of the Pioneer Press has had a dramatic impact, bringing job uncertainty to the newsroom. The sales remind us that local journalism is about money. ...

Red Star Tribune on Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions, Again

Sunday, December 17th, 2006

Sometimes it is hard to determine whose side the editors of the Red Star Tribune are on. Ours or our enemies. The latest from them is a piece denouncing the probability that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons and a demand that we (America) sees proof before jumping to ...
