Conservative Politics, Religion, Culture, and Anything Else
From the monthly archives:
Chief Justice John Roberts was released from a Maine hospital after having a small seizure yesterday, cleared to go home after spending the night under medical observation. At 52 years old, he’s the youngest member of the Supreme Court and so far looks like a real strict constructionist. While on vacation, he fell from a [...]

On Newt Gingrich’s latest appearance on Fox News Sunday, the former House Speaker spoke about fundamental systemic change as a way to tackle and solve the many problems facing our government. One point he made was about our failed public schools not being able to compete with private schools since we don’t give charter schools or vouchers [...]

Bill Walsh died today at the age of 75, losing his battle with leukemia. He was the famed coach of the San Francisco 49ers from 1979 to 1988, winning three Super Bowls (1981, 1984, 1988), grooming both Joe Montana and countless others, and introducing the league to the innovative “West Coast” offense in the process.

New British Prime Minister Gordon Brown had his first joint press conference with President Bush at Camp David this morning and guess what? They got along on all the foreign policy issues that matter, including Iraq, Iran and the overall War on Terror! Brown sounded outright hawkish on the nature of terrorism and the will [...]

Iraq defeated Saudi Arabia 1-0 in the Asia Cup Soccer Championship today in Jakarta, Indonesia. Over the course of the tournament, Iraq won its group, beat Australia, South Korea and then scored the only goal of the championship match against the Saudis in the 72nd minute of play. The picture below shows the actual moment:
I [...]

I’ve had a problem with the 9/11 Commission since they came out with their findings over the summer of 2004. Jamie Gorelick was on the “liberal” side of the panel (this incessant need for balance on our intelligence panels will probably kill people one day. When I was a kid back in the 1980s, we had [...]

This alone won’t win him the nomination, but John “Gilderoy Lockhart” Edwards finally mastered the political maneuver necessary for his political survival. He has finally co-opted She Who Must Not Be Named’s “I’d rather discuss issues without actually discussing issues” play.
The gist of this political play is that the liberal who must hide his/her/its political [...]

It’s only a debate. It’s only a debate sponsored by the Communist News Network. It’s only a debate moderated by Anderson Cooper. So what on earth is this nonsense I’m reading on the internets? According to the Washington Compost, several Republican candidates are talking about skipping the upcoming YouTube CNN debate.
According [...]

You mean there’s a price to pay for using mind-altering drugs?
(Potheads around the nation stir like somebody might have said something.)
I guess so. Even with pot, apparently. Your risks for a psychotic mental illness increase substantially with even one use of marijuana. It’s still actually a small percentage in the end, but many studies over the years have come to the [...]

Apparently some guy named Mike was a contestant on this season of Big Brother; and earlier tonight, he was evicted from the Big Brother house by a 7-2. He is third houseguest to be evicted this season.
This week on the show was the classic example of the old BB cliche “you reap what you [...]

I don’t really like cats, being much more of a dog fan. I’ve only met a few cats that I genuinely like. To me, they seem very self-interested, using you for food and warmth and tend to get used to you more than truly like you. Dogs are pretty dumb comparatively, but they love attention and show [...]

This New York Post article outlines something that has been very frustrating to me, as a supporter of Operation Iraqi Freedom and the Baghdad Security Plan (aka the Surge). Its author, Ralph Peters, has been on many talking-head shows on many cable networks complaining about how the Iraq War has been handled since Saddam’s topple. [...]

A crooked NBA official? I am just so . . . shocked. NBA games always seemed so fair; the calls, so down-the-middle. This can’t be right.

I did not watch the last Democrat debate because I was not in the mood to listen to the same old liberal nonsense for two hours. However, I did manage to catch news coverage of the debate, especially coverage of the clash between Barack Obama and She Who Must Not Be Named over some [...]

This YouTube video uses George C. Scott’s speech in the movie Patton and remakes it into a War on Terror speech! Watch it. It’s funny, frank, and puts things into historical perspective, which is highly lacking from both sides right now– the Dems ignore history and the Republicans don’t bring it up enough. It’s about a seven [...]

I think Newt has a point in his latest comments, this time smacking up the viable Republican Presidential candidates (hence, it gets MSM press). Among the things he says, he points out:
None of the candidates in Newt’s view have a real chance to beat a She Who Must Not Be Named/ O’Bama ticket
The debates are [...]

I finished reading the latest Harry Potter book in a psychotically small amount of time and now know how it all turns out. I will not ruin anything for those of you who have not yet read it, but I implore you to get a move on! There’s shock, adventure, quest, and [...]

Doom and gloom fills the minds of Libs throughout America and the world as their worst nightmare comes to fruition! For a few hours tomorrow morning, President Bush is going to temporarily cede power to Vice President Dick Cheney according to Section 3 of the 25th Amendment! Bush is going in for a routine colonoscopy, [...]

America’s favorite recovering gonorrhea victim, Joe, got the boot from Big Brother 8 just a few minutes ago! This was expected by many, since Eric (America’s Player) was told by viewer poll results to vote Joe out, and most of the House (9-1) saw the same problems. He was whiney, devious, passive-aggressive, and generally unpleasant from day [...]

No, I did not read the New York Slimes review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but at midnight tomorrow we’ll all know the fate of everybody’s favorite young wizard without the benefit of cheating. Actually, “DeepDiscount.com” is being sued by Scholastic because it released the book Tuesday, breaching their contract and causing the flood [...]

On the evening of July 18, 1969, Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy, brother of the late President John Kennedy and also of the late New York Senator Robert Kennedy drove his car off a small bridge on Chappaquiddick Island near Martha’s Vineyard after leaving a party with a woman who was not his wife. He escaped, wandered around here and there [...]

The Senate Dems staged an all-night session to grandstand on Iraq and it failed. After all the hot air, Harry “The Body” Reid’s stunt did not get enough Republican votes for the 60 votes needed for cloture, with a 52-47 vote on stopping debate. Reid didn’t even authorize this bill from being debated on a later date! [...]

Michael Vick is in trouble. He managed to stay clear of trouble with his bong at the airport a few months ago. He also managed to keep his job after flipping off his hometown crowd last NFL season in Atlanta (see picture below). But if things weren’t bad enough for this “up and coming” NFL star, [...]

Predictably, on the eve of the Democrat grandstanding with an all-night Iraq debate, this CNN article is full of doom and gloom, showing one side of the story (of course) and taking every opportunity to show how horrible America has been to the Iraqis. But I noticed something about this article that disturbs me a [...]

Nothing is more American than the idea that we are not who we are because of who gave birth to us, but because of the choices we make. The Brazen Careerist has taken this concept and applied it to generations. No longer do baby boomers have to be stuck with the other spoiled [...]

Jim Gilmore dropped out of the Presidential campaign this weekend and that got me thinking about another candidate destined for the same fate.
This Mike Gravel internet ad is quite old now but since we never posted it and I think its funny, here you go.

Rudy Giuliani plans to announce his “Judicial Advisory Committee” later this week in an attempt to alleviate conservatives rightly concerned about his views on abortion and his thus far pathetic defense of those views. The panel will be chaired by Ted Olson and will include strict constructionist superstar Miguel Estrada. This is an [...]

This YouTube video of this morning’s debate between South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham and Virginia Senator Jim Webb on “Meet the Press” clearly demonstrates the difference between Democrats and Republicans on the issue of Iraq. Initially, Graham allows Webb to speak his peace on his positions, then when Tim Russert asks Graham to respond, Webb repeatedly [...]

According to Gary at Team America, there are three kinds of people in this world: and we know which kind Kim Jung-(mentally)-Il is! That being said, news that North Korea has temporarily halted its nuclear reactors after receiving some much needed oil shipments comes to me as being suspect. I don’t trust North Korea or the [...]

Pope Benedict XVI just reinforced his interpretation of the Second Vatican Council which states that the “Catholic” church was the one that “Christ established here on Earth.” Protestant and other churches are missing something, according to a reinforcement of the Pope’s own work back in 2000, while John Paul II was pope. Questions arise as [...]
