The more I read about the new Democrat frontrunner for that party's nomination for president of the United States, the more convinced I become that he's little more than an empty vessel that a lot of people seem to pour their own hopes and dreams into. Barack Obama got some press this week after Washington […]
Viking Pundit notes that the Democrat presidential hopefuls are not above subordinating science when it comes in conflict with political advantage.
I had no idea! Actually, that's a lie. I did know that -- and I also know that as a conservative Republican, the color of Obama's skin matters not one whit as to whether or not I'd vote for or against him. Democrats, on the other hand, are apparently a bunch of bigots because Obama […]
The results of tonights Iowa caucuses are in and the big winners are Sen. Barack Obama and former Gov. Mike Huckabee. My first thought is: Wait a minute! It's January 3rd for crying out loud. Sen. Hillary Clinton came in third. That's deep trouble for her. If she doesn't win New Hampshire now, then the […]
One of Sen. Hillary Clinton's selling points has been that she has experience in the White House. Let's ignore for the next several months that she never held a security clearance while she was First Lady and that she was never in the room when foreign policy decisions were being made. In the wake of […]
I was going to tear into this insane New York Times editorial, but thankfully discovered John Hinderaker over at Powerline had already done it for me. Titled "Looking At America," the editorial focuses on the Bush administration's efforts to prevent terrorist attacks over the last six years. Some would look at that record and see […]
There's a simple reason that I'm never going to wear my politics on my car in the form of ribbons, bumper stickers or anything else -- expressing views contrary to liberal orthodoxy is viewed by far too many on the left as a license to vandalize. Case in point: Marine Sgt. Mike McNulty's car was […]
In the wake of the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, the one thing that isn't needed in that country is more chaos. As distasteful as the rule of Pervez Musharraf is to democracy, it would be far worse for that nuclear-armed nation to plunge into a maelstrom that could end with radical […]
You've just got to shake your head at this sort of "reporting" by the Associated Press' Beth Fouhy on the Iowa caucuses. Hattie Irving, an 81-year old Iowan, has never participated in her state's presidential caucuses, but she plans to this time - to support Hillary Rodham Clinton. "I was very impressed with her as […]
The Congressional Black Caucus today petitioned Gov. Kathleen Blanco of Louisiana to commute the sentence of an African-American thug because he beat up a white kid. If you've relied on television and mainstream media reports to inform your knowledge of the so-called Jena 6, then you might suspect me of coloring (no pun intended) my […]
