Conservative Politics, Religion, Culture, and Anything Else
From the monthly archives:
I consider myself lucky beyond the belief that I had the opportunity to visit Poland four years ago. While there, a group of my friends and I stayed with one of group member’s friend’s apartment in Gdansk. This gave us the opportunity to see Gdansk and the nearby town of Gdynia from a relatively non-tourist [...]

Newt Gingrich announced yesterday that he would not be running for President because among other reasons McCain-Feingold would not allow him to both run for the White House and continue to head American Solutions. Also, he required that $30 million be raised in the next quarter for his prospective campaign, which would be an unprecedented amount. By announcing [...]

It’s no secret that I’m a William Hague fan. His moral clarity would be an asset to the UK and the world, and his brand of political theater is rivaled by few. For quite some time now, I’ve been hoping for and even predicting a Hague comeback in which he re-gains his position as [...]

Today is the second day of Newt Gingrich’s “American Solutions for Winning the Future.” The opening of the conference Thursday was quite inspirational and full of ideas and possibilities. One of the things I love about Newt, is that he speaks a language I understand: the language of history and historical perspective. This conference and this [...]

In a “non-binding” resolution, the Iranian puppet parliament has labeled the CIA and the US Army “terrorist organizations.” I guess my brother is a terrorist, then. I guess the world’s beacon of freedom, trying to spread democracy, self-rule, and extend globalization’s reach creating a more interdependent, and thereby united, international community is a terrorist organization, but an [...]

This is rich. John Edwards has criticized Rush Limbaugh for using the phrase “phony soldiers”when describing the only soldiers liberals actually support. The soldier in question was Jesse MacBeth, a soldier from Tacoma who was sentenced to five months in prison for lying about war atrocities that never happened, the scope of his own service, [...]

In my own personal experience, I have met people, including many liberals, that have said the most racist things. The recent debate on illegal immigration is an example of this latent racist idea of accepting and keeping an economic underclass happily doing America’s nasty jobs. Does this and more overt kinds of racism come from anger, from a sense of [...]

Boris Johnson has been elected as the Conservative candidate in next year’s election for Mayor of London. His main opponent will be current Mayor “Red” Ken Livingstone.
For those unfamiliar with Johnson, he is a Tory who looks like Doc Brown, writes like Ann Coulter, and is as entertaining as Bob Dornan. He [...]

In case you were wondering, She Who Must Not Be Named is an honest to goodness flip-flopper on the really important issue of torture/advanced interrogation techniques. Last night in the New Hampshire Democrat debate she decided to rely on the MSM’s penchant for ignoring anything she has said before the moment she is in front of you. [...]

Simply put, teaching gay fairy tales to second graders seems obscene to me. My problem with this story and its fallout is that I believe that kids should still have some sexual innocence before they turn eight. The story “King & King” is not surprisingly a Dutch tale that was translated into English and read to [...]

Newt Gingrich’s “American Solutions for Winning the Future” conference begins tonight at 7pm EDT from Atlanta, Georgia. The purpose of this conference is to get ideas from all over the country on ways of solving America’s many problems. Obviously, this will have a right-of-center spin, because like I have been saying for years, the real, [...]

Wow! Apparently Katie Couric opposes the Iraq War. Who knew? It’s a good thing she successfully hid her bias throughout the years in all of those informative and objective pieces on the conflict. If she wasn’t so talented at leaving her worldview at the door, her ratings at CBS would never [...]

“You are the army of the people. We are feeding you. Be just to us.”
The military junta of Burma (which they call Myanmar) has begun a crackdown of pro-democracy forces, including a protest march led by Buddhist monks. The catalyst of the latest popular outburst was a huge increase in fuel costs that have begun to [...]

Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather (or Dan Rather-biased as he was called by conservatives throughout his CBS career) may potentially call both Bush 41 and Dubya as witnesses in Rather’s lawsuit against CBS. Rather claims he was “squeezed out” of CBS following the blow-back from those false Mary Mapes-inspired National Guard memos leading up to the 2004 [...]

In an uncharacteristic amount of French diplomatic assertiveness and clarity, President Sarkozy used his first speech in front of the UN General Assembly to get real with Iran and their nuclear ambitions. The line of the speech in my opinion was, “Weakness and renunciation do not lead to peace. They lead to war.” To Sarko, a [...]

Michael Graham kept it short and sweet and I’m practically speechless. This is just sad.

A grim mood has gripped the country. No, it isn’t the weather. She Who Must Not Be Named made the rounds yesterday and appeared on just about every one of the major networks in her bid to trick the American people into voting for her. If you think the resulting dark mist [...]

Several Labour MPs are calling on Gordon Brown to call a snap election. With Labour riding high in the polls, many marginal backbenchers realize that their best chance of keeping their jobs is to fight an election battle before people remember why it is they were disaffected with Labour in the first place. [...]

Sorry for the late update but I just got home. John Batchelor is co-hosting John Loftus’ show again right now. Check out Loftus’ archives for the fun.

Iranian President (and radical Islamist rube) Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke at Columbia University today. Did they have the right to invite him? Yes. Should the United States have restricted Mahmoud’s visa to the hotel, UN building, and airport? Yes. Should Columbia have invited him? No, I don’t think so. There’s a difference between embracing different viewpoints and hearing the contrarian [...]

This is one of the things that really bugs me about the United Nations: Iraq is showing real signs of improvement, so the UN’s thinking about increasing their presence in Iraq. So, let me get this straight: the country’s security is noticeably better, so they feel like “the time for determined, collective action has come.” That sounds like [...]

He prays in the well of the United Nations for the coming of the Twelfth Imam, denies the holocaust, kidnaps British sailors, arms and funds terrorist organizations, and threatens the to wipe Israel off the map. For this and many other reasons, the U.S. State Department has designated Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a terrorist. [...]

It’s hard to tell what’s really going on regarding the events of August 2006 which occurred around Jena High School in the small town of Jena, Louisiana. Louisiana has been on the civil rights radar since the charges of FEMA’s “racist” approach to Katrina (no such racism in Mississippi, though, which also has the nation’s highest African-American [...]

New York Governor Democrat Eliot Spitzer cheered his move today to give access to all illegal aliens who do not have driver’s licenses, licenses by not requiring proof of citizenship or a social security number in the state of New York. Yet another reward that a Northeastern, liberal state is giving to those who have [...]

President Bush commented on politics for a change during a news conference today when he said of the Moveon.org “General Betray-Us” ad:
“I felt like the ad was an attack not only on Gen. Petraeus but on the U.S. military, and I was disappointed that not more leaders in the Democrat party spoke out strongly against that ad…. [...]

Stealth amnesty is at work in Congress and only three months or so after the major grassroots popular smackdown of the Senate’s version of Immigration Reform! The DREAM (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) Act allows states to give in-state tuition breaks to illegal aliens who’ve been here a while. It also lets illegal aliens who [...]

This seems like deja vu, but a new poll is out and American’s confidence in our government has hit another new low. According to a Reuters/Zogby poll released today, only 11% of 1,011 likely voters believe that Congress is doing a good job, with only 29% feeling the same way about President Bush. Zogby International believes [...]

Without too much fanfare, Rhode Island’s favorite ex-cokehead Republican, Lincoln Chafee, decided to bolt the party last “June or July.” Saying, “It’s not my party anymore,” begs the question: when was it ever your party? He’s currently unaffiliated, but that isn’t much of a change either. He was the definition of a RINO which is what [...]

She Who Must Not Be Named has no chance of tricking the country into electing her to the Presidency next year if she does not successfully contrast herself with the more radical elements of the Democrat Party. Let’s be honest; that was the real reason she voted the right way on the Iraq War [...]

Did you see this video from a University of Florida Kerry forum? It’s all over the Internet, so I thought I’d contribute to the media over this fellow. He reminds me of what’s wrong with some Millennials: he seems to understand that he has the right to free speech, but somebody forgot to tell him that he doesn’t have a [...]
