It is becoming clear the democrats have no broad support in the country for their pathetic delaying tactics. After Dysmal Durbin’s slander on our military produced polls showing only the hard core liberals sided with him, Durbin was forced to retreat and show the dems are now the party of Silly Exaggerations (think Monty Python’s [...]

The left is fixated on things of total irrelevance: all their political losses over the last 5 years. What was the BIG issues in 2000? The Florida recount. In 2001 prior to 9-11? Bush’s tax cuts and Enron. Post 9-11? Whether Afghanistan would be a quagmire like vietnam and moreo tax cuts. 2002? The GOP [...]

I have been rooting for quite a wile for Justice Janice Rogers Brown to be one of Bush’ first nominees to the supreme court, for a variety of reasons. I admire her life story, I support her views on most matters and I respect her judicial philosophy. I like the fact she is a an [...]

Check out this liberal fantasy posing as commentary in the UK’s Gaurdian today (hat tip: RealClearPolitics). There’s nothing like a good fisking in the morning to start your day – and an easy one at that. I am running short on time so this will be an abbreviated fisking First the title of the piece [...]

This news is indicates two things. We are probably heading for a showdown with Tehran. And the elections were probably rigged. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the hard-line mayor of Tehran who has invoked Iran’s 1979 revolution and expressed doubts about rapprochement with the United States, won a runoff election Friday and was elected president of the Islamic [...]

A short notice on a recent announcment on adult stem cell research. After that is a long winded review of my views on stem cell research for new readers to understand where I am coming from on this subject. An article on the Annual Meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research highlights recent [...]

A comment on the previous posting on this subject mentioned Land Between the Lakes, Kentucky as a history lesson of sorts. While this example reflects the use of eminent domain as we have hostorically thoght of it – to remove economic blight, it reminds us how we got where we are today. One have to [...]

12/31/05: Nominating this as my best post for 2005 to the Stop The ACLU survey. One good thing came out of the US SC decision yesterday regarding eminent domain. It brought a spotlight on the socialistic moves afoot in this country to remake America into something we do not want. How many of us have, [...]

I am struck with what should be a random series of events playing out as a tipping point that could create a massive shift away from the remnants of liberalism and toward conservatism. The two events are Durbin’s disasterous hyperventilating on GITMO and the US SC decision in Kelo. I won’t belabor Durbin’s now infamous [...]

Michael Smith must think people are so stupid he can make things up with impunity, and no one will see the illogic of his statemments. Either that or he was incredibly naive about what war entails, and the work it takes to win the peace after the fighting is over. Thanks to Bill Crawford at [...]

Democrats are crystallizing their ineptitude and ability to be easily intimidated in the world – not a good thing when one thinks of national security or homeland security. Ted Kennedy’s ridiculous whining about how hard it is in Iraq, it’s a quagmire, we must cut and run, it’s too hard, is going to mean a [...]

Folks, when I try and write quickly to catch up, I end up becoming incoherent. The wife catches these all the time and is constantly running behind me cleaning up the text. I got an email on this post so here is the more coherent version: This article in SFgate is a classic example of [...]

He is NOT an elected official (Senators) of this country, He did NOT disparage our military or our country, He did NOT help the recruitment PR for terrorists, He did NOT make baseless claims (he just stretched them too far and too broadly). So there is no meat there. Democrats would have been smarter to [...]

Sorry for the light posting today – lots of meetings today, all day. The Supreme Court’s decision on eminent domain, while completely unconstitutional and dispicable, gave the GOP a huge advantage in the upcoming Supreme Court judicial nomination fights. All the GOP has to do is point to the ruling as ‘extraordinary circumstances’ to fight [...]

The democrats strategy these days seems to be one of mindless fixation. In the Washington Post today we learn that Sen Carl Levin is planning to hold up a nomination for defense policy chief, because he wants information on the outgoing chief! And why does he need information on the outgoing chief in order to [...]
