Conservative Politics, Religion, Culture, and Anything Else
From the monthly archives:
To those who feel that President Bush’s use of wiretapping against terrorists is unconstitutional, a review of this article is in order. In it is commentary from Constitutional scholars, including liberal ones, regarding Presidential authority in this matter, and it concludes by and large that the President does indeed have such authority.
It boggles my mind [...]

It looks like the DOJ is investigating the source of the NSA leaks. Assuming they follow through, Michelle Malkin offers her predictions of the left’s reactions.
As for me, I predict the left will accuse President Bush of persecuting them for exercising their right to dissent. Don’t be surprised if this rhetoric is peppered with comparisons [...]

Georgia state Rep. Alisha Thomas Morgan (You Guessed It, Democrat) is vowing to repeal the state’s new law requiring voters to show identification at the polls. In fact, her oppostion to this common sense law is so extreme she’s comparing her struggle to the civil rights movement!
Why is it always Democrats who oppose requiring people [...]

Those of us who are informed know that Valerie Plame was not an outed CIA agent as too many people knew of her identity. We also know that Joe Wilson and his wife Valerie are people who are infatuated with themselves. Uncovering the truth about pre-war intelligence was never their aim. After all, an independent [...]

Justin Einhorn reports that when asked if his preparations for the Fiesta Bowl would be different as it was his first bowl game, Charlie Weis responded “This is my first time going to a bowl, huh?” Though I do not like Patriots fans (who were not Patriot fans until Parcells came along and then rejoiced [...]

This latest poll from Rasmussen has 64% of the American people believing that wiretaps of the clandestine, George Bush “let’s beat the terrorists first, then beat the obstructionist FISA judges” nature are fine if used to combat terrorists. Mark Belling, filling in for Rush today, has made this the centerpiece of the show. He [...]

The U.N. has given its stamp of approval to the recent round of Iraqi elections. To date, this approval represents the best evidence that something went wrong with the elections. However, evidence suggesting the election was successful substantially outweighs the implication to be drawn by the U.N. stamp of approval.

Surfing this morning I found this little piece that illustrates something I have been thinking for a while now.
I have always thought it to be an intellectually weak position to be “for the troops but against the war.” Our friends in much of Hollywood have reinforced this idea by apparently refusing to entertain the [...]

The following is a farce that I received from a friend via email today:
For My Democratic Friends:
“Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, [...]

As everyone gathers to celebrate Christmas with their families and friends, I thought it would be appropriate to reflect on the real meaning of Christmas day. Below is an essay entitled “One Solitary Life”.
Here is a man who was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another [...]

The line between satire and reality is blurring, at least as it relates to Democrats.

This is how the war on terror would be conducted if liberals had their way.
Hat tip to Mark Levin Fan.

Circuit Judge Richard Suhrheinrich of the Sixth Circuit: “The ACLU makes repeated reference to the ’separation of church and state.’ This extra-constitutional construct has grown tiresome. The First Amendment does not demand a wall of separation between church and state. Our nation’s history is replete with governmental acknowledgment and in some cases, accommodation of religion.”
This [...]

Along with Mike’s theme that the tide is turning, Bush’s job approval has reached 50% for the first time since July in the Rasmussen poll. This is most likely in response to:
The continued success in Iraq finally being made known to the public through the elections, the Bush Speech, and the Press Conference.
The fact [...]

The MSM seems to enjoy Iraqi elections about as much as American elections. The media is now parroting the claim of some Sunnis that the elections were rigged to favor the majority Shia. Yes, that’s right. The complaint is that the election was rigged so the majority would win. Sometimes the [...]

Rhode Island’s Christmas tree has died because some genius decided to spray a fire retardant chemical all over it. A newly implemented fire code required the tree to be sprayed. For those unfamiliar with Rhode Island, the new fire code was passed in response to the tragic Station nightclub fire.
This is [...]

Anchor Rising, a Rhode Island conservative blog, has a story regarding the position of Steve Laffey on drilling in ANWR. Unfortunately, Steve Laffey is against the drilling. His stance on drilling and on so-called “Big Oil” is unfortunate, as it plays into the hands of Democrat talking points, and is just flat-out untrue. It is [...]

Chief Union thug Roger Tooussaint accused Mayor Bloomberg of engaging in “Giuliani-style terror to intimidate transit workers.” I wish. I don’t think Mayor Bloomberg deserves that much praise, at least not until he invokes the Reagan doctrine as applied to illegal strikes.

Saddam gets beaten up! It would be a good start, but you know he’s just playing to the American media and Democratic sympathizers. I bet he wished he used his gun down in the spider hole back in the day!
I feel SO upset! I guess our guys aren’t hitting hard enough, and [...]

The Republican Senate took the first step towards fiscal responsibility today when Vice President Dick Cheney cast the tiebreaking vote to cut spending by $39.7 Billion, sending the bill to President Bush for a signature. While this is pretty much pocket change for the Federal government, it is at least a start in the right [...]

This article speaks about the resentment felt by Mexican citizens regarding the proposed wall on the border between the U.S. and Mexico. What most Mexicans fail to realize is that we do not object to Mexican citizens coming to the United States, but that, in this age of Terrorism, it must be done in a [...]

Kudos to GOP and the City for framing the NYC transit strike like no other media outlet. When you think of it in those terms, we have yet another example liberals failing to understand the world they live in. We see this all the time in their attitude toward Christians and all things southern, but [...]

Bob Novak has the latest on the Democrats obsession with President Bush’s “sixteen words” from the 2003 State of the Union. Now I know what you’re thinking and you’re right. The Brits conducted an independent inquiry into these charges and found President Bush’s concern to be “well founded.”
Clause 499 of the Butler Report:
“We [...]

And it’s probably for the best, but it would have been fun to see Nomar, Jeter, and A-Rod all play in the same infield.

If Valerie Plame was so secret and covert, why is she continually posing in magazines? First there was Vanity Fair, now this:
I really don’t know what to say about this one.

The President is on fire for the second day in a row. First, he explained his position that the war on Al Qaeda is not a matter of law enforcement, but a war. Then he took Harriet Reid to task for bragging about how he was going to kill the Patriot Act. Then he discussed [...]

John McIntyre at RealClearPolitics thinks the Democrats are being Roved again.
I agree with McIntyre. Every time liberals discuss Abu Ghraib and Gitmo they’re forgetting this: “And the bottom line is that average Americans’ sympathies are not with terrorists trying to kill innocents, but rather with our troops and security agents who are trying [...]
