October 2006

Whether or not he ends up victorious, it is possible that the candidacy of Lt. Governor Michael Steele for the U.S. Senate may end up marking the beginning of a political shift in this country. Today, six prominent Maryland African American democrats endorsed Michael Steele for the U.S. Senate, stating that the Democratic party was [...]

Speaking in his first official campaign appearance of 2006, President Bush revived the old “Just say no!” chant in reference to voting Democratic this year. He got the crowd involved chanting and calling back with verve. Hopefully the base will be more energized as shades of Ronald the Great are entering this campaign.

Licking his wounds from a debate the night before, Maryland Democrat Senate candidate Ben Cardin ducked a debate against Republican Mike Steele which was to have been hosted by the NAALCP. This act of cowardice may give Steele the boost he needs to put him over the top.
Polls in Maryland have consistently shown a lack [...]

I’d like to recommend Jerry Agar’s radio show on WABC in New York City. He is a relatively new addition to the WABC lineup, broadcasting in the 8 PM timeslot. He replaced Laura Ingraham who was bumped to 10 PM. (dumb move WABC). Despite bumping Ingraham, Agar is worth a listen.
I especially appreciate Agar because [...]

Last night, I listened to Mark Levin on WABC. Responding to a press release for Republican Senate candidate Tom Kean Jr. slandering Rush Limbaugh, Levin stated that he couldn’t vote for Kean. What followed was call after call from conservatives who intend, among other things, to stay home, write in Santorum (my favorite response), or [...]

Angela Merkel’s government has decided that needs a military of theater/global caliber to be able to join international peace-keeping and stabilization forces in conflicts around the world. It’s about time another member of Old Europe step up besides the Brits!

Just like President Bush, I can see a number of really bad things happening in Iraq if we leave too early or bend to election year political pressure at the expense of national security. Adjusting tactics is just smart if they don’t happen to be working, but that doesn’t mean “redeploying” to Okinawa, handing Southern [...]

…Watching the UN fail again on North Korea. A pundit on one of the talking head shows the other day said that this diplomatic mess with Iran and North Korea is the failure of the “multilateralism” of Bush’s second term. When we were “unilateral” (a term I can’t stand with 30+ nations having aided something [...]

Brigitte Gabriel has an amazingly sad story that she shares with us in her book “Because They Hate.” The link is an excerpt of a speech she gave in February on the nature of our enemy from someone who lived in Lebanon where she and her family were repeatedly attacked because they were Christian. She [...]

Intelligent design was smacked down again, this time in Michigan. Of course, the article misrepresents Michael J. Behe, Larry Witham and William A. Dembski’s idea that Darwin’s concept of natural selection has serious intellectual and observable, logical scientific fallacies. Behe does not overtly support God as the reason for everything, but he does note, as [...]

On the Mark Foley scandal: Matt Drudge has all sort of headlines today that you’re not hearing ANYWHERE else. I feel silly saying this again and again before a “however,” but Mark Foley did resign in disgrace, even his own conscience tells him he did something wrong, and prosecutions may/should still be coming.
However, Drudge has [...]

Yet another judicial activism from a Liberal judge in the State of MA. This time, a Massachusetts state judge is interpreting Rhode Island law. A Suffolk County Superior Court judge ruled that RI same-sex couples could have marriages performed in MA, because RI law does not expressly prohibit Same-sex marriage. This opens a flood of [...]

A recent online Time article states that essentially, top-level Republicans are not as panicked about the upcoming Midterm elections as conventional wisdom or the MSM would like you to believe. They cite the huge money flow into local get-out-the-vote drives and a political infrastructure that has been developed by Karl Rove and others since the [...]
