Faith & Politics

I might pick up former GOP Sen. John Danforth's book, "Faith & Politics: How the 'Moral Values' Debate Divides America and How to Move Forward Together," when it appears in the bargain bin. Why? According to National Review's Ramesh Ponnuru, the book doesn't do a very good job of describing how to move forward together […]

ABC News reported yesterday that it had interviewed Foley, 52, about excerpts of instant messages provided by current and former pages under the age of 18.

It's not about the troops

I was going to write about this yesterday, but I had to get up early this morning and then worked about a 12-hour day, so I want to get this down on paper before I hit the sack. During Thursday's Senate debate on the legislation setting up military commissions and the treatment of captured terrorists, […]

Rights for everyone!

The Democrat Party has been big on "rights" for decades. The "right" to affordable healthcare. The "right" to a "living" wage. If you name it, and it's a good thing, then dangit, you have a "right" to have it. These "rights" are never limited to U.S. citizens, when Democrats speak of them, they are, at […]

Is our children learning?

A letter to the editor in Wednesday's Union-Tribune raises the question: What are they teaching in our schools? Two speeches, two agendas In his political cartoon Sept. 13 Steve Breen apparently wanted to compare Lincoln's Gettysburg Address to President Bush's 9/11 speech. The difference is that Lincoln's speech was designed to bring the country together. […]

Juden?

You just can't make this stuff up. In a debate yesterday between GOP Sen. George Allen and Democrat Jim Webb in the race for one of Virginia's Senate seats, local television journalist Peggy Fox posed an insightful, intriguing, relevant question: Following the "macaca" episode, the Jewish press published stories that appeared on the Internet that […]

More on Nadagate

I'm sure you're tired of it -- I know I am -- but former federal prosecutor Victoria Toensing had an excellent piece on "the Plame kerfuffle" in Friday's Wall Street Journal. Toensing takes ambassador Joseph Wilson, journalist David Corn, leaker Richard Armitage and prosecutor Peter Fitzgerald to the woodshed over the giant nothing which was […]

York's hypothetical

I've often accused -- with good reason -- Democrats (Joe Lieberman excepted) of not being serious when it comes to terrorism and national security. The Democrats' recent "demand" on President Bush to: (1) transitioning the U.S. mission in Iraq to counter-terrorism, training, logistics and force protection; (2) beginning the phased redeployment of U.S. forces from […]

What's wrong with politics

John Bolton has been doing an excellent job as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations for the past year-plus. Unfortunately, he has not been confirmed by the Senate and his recess appointment will expire at the end of the current Congress. I'm of the opinion that there are only two reasons to reject a president's […]
