Mary Poppins Conservatives vs. Reality

I was listening to one of the premier Mary Poppins Conservatives today – Mark Levin – as I circled the nations capitol driving the beltway back home from work. I think of these ‘pure’ conservatives as a bunch of Mary Poppins who are constantly measuring others while declaring how they are “practically perfect in every […]

Another Reason Not To Kill Young Humans (aka Embryos)

The need to kill young humans for spare parts hit another snag today: A drug used for arthritis can reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer’s “in minutes”. It appears to tackle one of the main features of the disease – inflammation in the brain. The drug, called Enbrel, is injected into the spine where it blocks […]

Journalism A Dying Trade-craft

Published by under All General Discussions

If this poll is any indication of what the biased reporting has brought the news media it means ‘journalism’, as practiced by the likes of Dan Rather, Keith Olberman, Chris Mathews, the NY Times, etc., is a dying trade-craft. Most Americans find their products suspect – at best. The lack of objectivity and the many […]

Applying Some Whoop-A$$ To al-Qaeda

al-Qaeda has promised a come back in Iraq. They have put the call out to try and turn the tide against their impending defeat. Sadly for them they did not contemplate the impact if the US and Iraqis ALSO unleashed a forceful push on them. Well now they can contemplate it – on their journey […]

How Many Muslims Has al-Qaeda Killed In Iraq? WHO Decides

It seems very hard to determine how many Muslims have been killed in Iraq due to al-Qaeda’s efforts to insight civil war (it wasn’t the US who bombed the Golden Mosque and ignited the fighting, it wasn’t the US who used chlorine bombs on Sunnis who were changing their minds about al-Qaeda’s brutality). The World […]

Victor Davis Hanson Calls For Comprehensive Immigration Reform

I hate to say this but no politician is going to go near the immigration issue for at least a couple of years. The problem isn’t the there are no solutions – there are tons of good ideas out there. The problem is a small minority cannot stomach long term illegal workers, who have integrated […]

al-Qaeda More Spectacular, But Less Effective

al-Qaeda is clearly losing in Iraq. Their promised increase in death and destruction is just not panning out. Yes, they can kill a lot of people on occasion. But even while their attacks are becoming more spectacular they are also becoming fewer, farther between and more and more in isolated areas not city centers: A […]

Rudy And Romney Make Some Moves

Interesting moves today. Romney is pulling ads out of SC and FL in a clear sign his campaign is reeling: Mitt Romney hasn’t extended his television presence into next week in South Carolina and Florida, an aide confirms. Romney has been on TV for months in both states, owning the airwaves long before his GOP […]

Dem Turnout Continues To Crush GOP

When we were done with Iowa I noted a very disturbing trend from 2000/2004 to 2008. The trend was enormous gains in Democrat voter numbers while the GOP stayed flat. Here are the numbers I computed after Iowa: The dems increased turn out by a whopping 89% in 4 years, while the GOP increased theirs […]

GOP Losing Independents – Do Insults Help?

While the “RINO” McCain won New Hampshire with a burst of conservative independents (like myself), the overall numbers of which way the non-aligned middle of America will trend shows the same thing as Iowa – GOP Losing big time. I can’t find numbers yet but Harold Huchison seems to have found some and they aren’t […]
