“Unenthused”

by Ryan on January 30, 2007

in Politics

Apparently, AOR is not the only place where conservatives are less than enthusiastic about the current crop of GOP candidates.  I have had a theory that for a successful GOP run in 2008, oddly, we need a George W. Bush-type candidate (to say Reagan-esque is just not being fair!) that can do all of the following.  Think [...]

Snowe and Collins Back McCain

by Mike on January 29, 2007

in Politics

This won’t help the Senator from Arizona. It’s one thing to have the Bobbsey twins in your corner during a Republican primary. It’s quite another thing to brag about it.

Oh Boy… or Girl?

by Ryan on January 29, 2007

in Culture

By now I’m sure you’ve heard of the girl trapped in a boy’s body who needed to be liberated, convinced his/her parents so, and finally got the operation done. So a twelve year old boy is, after all the fuss, a 14 year old girl. Wow. I’m not sure where I even want [...]

Tories Punt

by Mike on January 29, 2007

in Politics

Surprise. Surprise. David Cameron has opted for a free vote on the issue of an exception for the bill forcing adoption agencies to place children with same-sex couples. Under parliamentary systems, party policy normally dictates the way the rank and file votes. By departing from this norm, Cameron is essentially taking [...]

Not Fond of Fonda

by Ryan on January 28, 2007

in Politics

Jane Fonda, who should still be serving time for treason, was at it again in a rather small DC anti-Iraq War protest yesterday. A few dozen Freepers showed up to call them traitors, etc., but the real fun was set on stage. They said that word again. The only word the neo-Marxist [...]

A Woman President?

by Ryan on January 27, 2007

in Politics

She Who Must Not Be Named went on to elaborate on some of her positions and how they have “evolved” over the last few years. There is a lot in this piece that is telling: she’s still fighting with her conscience (sorry, I meant to write “political instincts”) for authorizing the Iraq War and having [...]

British Left Isn’t “For the Children”

by Mike on January 26, 2007

in Politics

Tony Blair’s Labour government is about to propose a law prohibiting adoption agencies from refusing to place children with same-sex couples. At issue in the debate is a proposed exemption for religious organizations. The Telegraph is reporting that Blair has already caved under pressure from the anti-Christian forces within the Labour party.  [...]

On Fire!

by Ryan on January 26, 2007

in Politics

Annie C is on fire in her recent article! Unfortunately, her website links only last a week on each article so you have to read this fast. She discusses Hillary and the 2008 Elections, the polls in previous elections and the State of the Union Address.
On the issue of Bush’s address to Congress, [...]

Cheneys 2, Blitzer 0

by Mike on January 24, 2007

in Politics

This post at Mark Levin Fan containing an audio clip from the Great One’s radio program is excellent for at least two reasons. First, it is now clear that no family pwns Wolf Blitzer quite like the Cheneys. Second, Levin’s rant (and I mean that as a compliment) against MSNBC hits the nail [...]

John Kerry Decides Not to Run for President

by Mike on January 24, 2007

in Politics

John Kerry is about to announce that he will not run for President in 2008.  Although both of his supporters are said to be distraught, I think they should cheer up.  This is John Kerry.  He might change his mind.

Biased Coverage of March for Life

by Mike on January 24, 2007

in Politics

This piece from Life News dissects the Washington Compost’s biased coverage of Monday’s March For Life.
Biased coverage of the March for Life is old news to those who have ever attended. Those who have been there know the ratio of pro-life to pro-choice marchers is overwhelming. The Life News piece is not exaggerating. [...]

Stephen Harper’s Stock Continues to Rise

by Mike on January 23, 2007

in Politics

You gotta love anyone who pwns a French socialist.

{ 1 comment }

The annual March for Life drew tens of thousands to Washington yesterday in protest of the Supreme Court’s horrendous decision in Roe v. Wade. Because the March was not in support of a liberal cause, Washington was spared from being trashed.
Judicial activism is one of our favorite targets on this site. Usually our [...]

Congratulations Colts

by Ryan on January 22, 2007

in Sports

The score was 38-34 going into the last drive of the game in the loud and proud RCA Dome in Indianapolis. One mistake, the game ends. All it would take is some consistency, determination and power. It came. The game ended. The Patriots won in the final seconds. Unfortunately, [...]

Weather Channel Goes Political

by Mike on January 21, 2007

in Politics

I don’t pretend to be an expert on the science of global warming, but I have to wonder why scientists on one side of the issue seek to silence scientists on the other side of the issue. The Weather Channel’s Heidi Cullen is the latest example. According to Cullen, meteorologists who disagree with [...]

Now They Think She’s Margaret Thatcher

by Mike on January 21, 2007

in Politics

Prepare to vomit. Terry McAuliffe has come out swinging on behalf of She Who Must Not Be Named, somehow managing to tell the media with a straight face that his candidate is reminiscent of Margaret Thatcher. What Terry needs to realize is that notion of Thatcher having a pair was only a metaphor. [...]

American Idol is many things: one of which is a talent contest!  If you have no talent and can’t take criticism from experts in control of millions of dollars in record deals and endorsements, don’t audition!  This story from the AP is absolutely obnoxious!
Have you ever watched American Idol past the first few weeks of [...]

She’s In

by Mike on January 20, 2007

in Politics

She Who Must Not Be Named has formed her exploratory committee for President. This comes as no surprise as she’s been running for years.  However, she has now kicked her campaign into high gear.  Several pages from her family’s political playbook have already been used against those who would dare challenge her. Earlier [...]

O’Reilly Loses This Conservative

by Mike on January 19, 2007

in Anything Else

Many people believe that conservatives are fans of Bill O’Reilly. That’s not always true. Although I agree with O’Reilly’s political positions more often than not, I always saw him as a blowhard who often feigns expertise on subjects he knows nothing about. This tired act was once merely annoying. It is [...]

Jack Bauer Can Handle It

by Ryan on January 19, 2007

in Culture

CAIR (Council of American-Islamic Relations) is after the hit Fox TV series “24″ after the first few episodes show what might happen if Muslim extremists got hold of a nuclear weapon and got it here to America– they’d use it!  So, even in real life Jack Bauer is still being chased by Muslims bent on [...]

Flip-Flop

by Ryan on January 18, 2007

in Politics

Another in a series of Democrat flip-flops on the Iraq War has surfaced over the last few days. The reason: journalists doing actual research into elected officials position on the war and how they have changed/not changed. As it turns out: plenty of Democrats once sought a troop surge as recently as [...]

“Spineless” Defined

by Ryan on January 17, 2007

in Politics

def: adj (1827) 2b : lacking strength of character.
ex: The attempt by Senate Democrats to draft a “symbolic vote” against the troop surge in Iraq without the gall to actually cast a meaningful vote to truly prevent it; unabashed political posturing with the well-being, reputation and morale of the troops–this is the epitome of [...]

Republicans Matter

by Sal on January 17, 2007

in Politics

Even the most liberal Republicans can sometimes be better than a Democrat (Lincoln Chaffee is the exception).  NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg, whom I am no fan of, proposed yesterday to take the New York City budget surplus and convert it into tax cuts, specifically by cutting property taxes by 5% and eliminating the sales tax [...]

Happy Tricentennial England and Scotland

by Mike on January 16, 2007

in Politics

Today (at least where I’m sitting) is the three hundredth anniversary of the Union between England and Scotland. The relationship between the two has been troubled at times. Even today, a strong sense of nationalism remains in both countries. Mainstream politicians are doing their best to celebrate the union, however, opinion over [...]

Democrat Charlie Rangel is once again planning to introduce legislation reinstating the draft. That’s odd considering Rangel’s party hammered President Bush on this very issue in 2004, falsely accusing him of having a secret plan to do what they now propose. Right Wing News has the Republican response the nation should but [...]

Woe Is She

by Mike on January 15, 2007

Disturbed that John Edwards would dare challenge her ascension to the throne, She Who Must Not Be Named unleashed her loyal Death Eater, I mean spokesman, Howard Wolfson to rebut Edwards’ recent veiled swipe at those who have not hysterically screamed to strip our troops of the funding they need.
“In 2004, John Edwards used to [...]

Divisional Sunday

by Ryan on January 15, 2007

in Sports

What a weekend for pro-football!!! I went 3-1 overall in my picks, but each game was either won or lost in the last minute or in overtime. The Patriots pulled a victory out of sure defeat yesterday in their 24-21 victory over the San Diego Chargers. It was as close to a [...]
