Is McCain Conservative Because He Says He Is?

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

For weeks now, Sen. John McCain is taking every opportunity to tell anyone who will listen how he is a political conservative. His campaign will say it. If you have to tell someone that you are conservative then you are not a conservative.
After getting the endorsement of Gov. Schwarzenegger, CNN fawns over [...]

John McCain And The Republican Party

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Have you noticed how the media seems to have selected a Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain? It is also apparent that you should not know the John McCain of last year, and the year before that, and the year before that. If the media thought that it was important, they would have told you by [...]

Was ABC’s New Hampshire Debate A Debate?

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

It was good to see the ‘new’ format with the presidential wannabes actually debating. No staged questioners, just the media questioning the candidates, and the candidates questioning each other. It was informative, that is, until the democrats had their turn.
Discussing illegal immigration, a major concern of people of both parties, apparently isn’t a concern to [...]

H.R. 6, The Energy Bill That Isn’t

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

True to form, the highly touted energy bill does zip, zero, nada towards getting more energy. If the politicians were honest, they would have called it a conservation bill. The highlights of the bill are changing light bulbs, mixing bio-fuels with fossil fuels, and squeezing the auto industry into the go-cart business. OK, the last [...]

The Godfathers In Congress

Friday, December 21st, 2007

And although Sutton’s office portrayed their “star witness” to the jury as a man beyond [...]

Pope Benedict Dissed By MSM

Friday, December 14th, 2007

Try this for a headline, “The Pope condemns the climate change prophets of doom.” This is an article in the UK’s Daily Mail.
Pope Benedict XVI has launched a surprise attack on climate change prophets of doom, warning them that any solutions to global warming must be based on firm evidence and not on dubious [...]

Dems Briefed On Waterboarding in 2002

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

More specifically, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was briefed on the extreme interrogation technique. Back then, it was fine. In fact, they wanted to know if there was anything more they could do to break the terrorists to give up information. Today it’s a different story. Today it is torture. Today the disposing of two [...]

Truth Is The Poor Are Getting Richer

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

Want to tic off a liberal who says that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer? Show them this report from the Treasury Department that exposes those claims as so much “populist hokum.” The reason it will tic them off is obvious. It takes the wind right out of their [...]
