McCain’s Eligibility?

February 28, 2008

The New York Times has yet again demonstrated its bias towards the man they once endorsed.  This time it’s based on whether or not McCain can even run for President!  Of course, just a day after the first poll comes out (pdf) with McCain beating O’Bama in a head-to-head race.  Hmm…
John McCain was born on [...]

The Late Great William F. Buckley Jr. (1925-2008)

February 27, 2008

The godfather of the modern Conservative movement died today at the age of 82.  Yale graduate, former CIA operative, prolific author, founder of National Review, contributor to On the Right syndicated by UPS, one time candidate for NYC Mayor on the Conservative Party ticket, Firing Line host for 23 years, recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Bush 41 [...]

New Debate Format Needed

February 26, 2008

Barack Obama and She Who Must Not Be Named are debating right now, and I’m surprised to say that I almost have a little sympathy for them. This does not stem from any affection for these two, God knows they haven’t done anything to earn my respect. The problem is the awful moderating [...]

Shocker! Kids Out of Touch with History/Culture

February 26, 2008

A recent USA Today article suggests that today’s teenagers are losing touch with our common cultural and historical references! 
Really? (with tons of sarcasm) 
The American Enterprise Institute/Common Core study has all sorts of sample references and criteria that I may not have used or even focused on, but I see their point on display all the time in my [...]

Obama’s New Clothes

February 25, 2008

She Who Must Not be Named’s minions have dug up this picture from Barry O’Bama’s trip to Kenya back in 2006.  This is as race-baiting stereotypical dirty as politics can get!  And the justification from her minions: “Wouldn’t we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were [SWMNBN]?”  That’s really really [...]

Global Climate Change

February 25, 2008

Global Climate Change is happening.  To deny that the climate is changing is to deny science itself.  Virtually 100% of climatologists argue that the Earth’s climate is undergoing change.  I fully support this argument, as it is based on sound scientific analysis and factual data.  Where I disagree, however, is the idea of man-made global warming [...]

Nothing To Damage

February 24, 2008

This post over at the new home of Democrat=Socialist is the funniest thing I’ve seen in 2008.

Eloquence Defined

February 24, 2008

Peggy Noonan, unquestionably a brilliant wordsmith and speechwriter, has been off her game ever since President Bush’s second inaugural. In the past few months however, Noonan has noticed circumstances that should be obvious but are somehow overlooked. Her latest column on Barack Obama is an excellent example.
Obama’s claim to fame since 2004 has [...]

Indiana Jones Returns!

February 24, 2008

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is set for release May 22, 2008. Check out the trailer:

I have long been an Indiana Jones fan and was psyched to hear that a new movie was coming out.  Yes, Harrison Ford will be 66 this year and one doesn’t quite know what to expect from [...]

We Have a Nader!

February 24, 2008

Quadrennial treat, liberal spoil, and renowned anti-capitalist fuzzball Ralph Nader announced this morning on Meet the Press that he’s in the mix once again for President of the United States. 
Mike Bloomberg was nowhere to be found for comment.

Two Different Takes on Belgrade Violence

February 23, 2008

By now, most have heard about the sectarian violence which ensued after Kosovo declared independence from Serbia.  Some of that violence, pictured above, was directed at the United States embassy in the Serbian capital of Belgrade.  America was of course outraged at the lack of security around our embassy and has protested through appropriate diplomatic [...]

Obama, Representing Change You Can Xerox

February 22, 2008

I have to admit, She Who Must Not Be Named used a great line in last night’s Democrat debate in Austin:
“If your candidacy is going to be about words then they should be your own words,” she said. “…Lifting whole passages from someone else’s speeches is not change you can believe in, it’s change you can [...]

The McCain Affair

February 21, 2008

We all knew that the New York Slimes was going to run a hit piece on John McCain now that it’s certain he’ll be the Republican nominee for President.  That’s obvious.
What gets me is how absolutely sloppy the Slimes’ editorial staff was in actually printing this story.  It’s “anonymous” sources full of unnamed “top aides” [...]

US Missile Hits Satellite

February 21, 2008

Hitting a bullet with a bullet!  In order to blast the toxic hydrazine from a wayward spy satellite, the Pentagon ordered the destruction of the probe last night (or early this morning depending on where you are).  I think this is really really cool and justifies the research and development of these kinds of weapons: one target, one [...]

Message to McCain

February 20, 2008

Simply: Make it about the issues!
Michael Medved’s above piece makes a case that it is becoming more clear that no one is going to beat O’Bama in a personality contest or if the contest simply comes down to a matter of experience.  
I happen to agree with that assessment, but not with Medved’s pessimism.  This needs to [...]

Michelle O’Bama is Proud

February 19, 2008

Michelle O’Bama stepped in it today, very much like Theresa Heinz used to, by not thinking before she spoke.  Hot Air discusses the basic conservative problem with Michelle saying:
“For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country,” she told a Milwaukee crowd today, “because it feels like hope is making [...]

Castro’s Cuba No More?

February 19, 2008

Fidel Castro has been a tin-pot communist dictator of his large Caribbean island since 1959, but suddenly word comes out that he’s not resubmitting his name as a candidate for President – Little Havana’s pretty happy, President Bush is optimistic yet cautious.  I’m skeptical — almost waiting for there to be some kind of “catch.” 
I hope things [...]

Sarko The Cowboy

February 18, 2008

When Nicholas Sarkozy ran for the French Presidency, his socialist opponents tried to brand him as “Sarko the American.”  Unfortunately for the socialists, this political argument was about as about as effective as their economic policies and the U.S. now has a friend living at Elysee Palace.  That doesn’t make him American though.
Neither does the [...]

O’Bama’s Plagiarism

February 18, 2008

Of course we know that O’Bama is an empty suit, full of “hope,” “audacity,” “unity,” yak yak yak.  But plagiarism?  The accusation comes from Death Eater and She Who Must Not Be Named syncophant Howard Wolfson, who believes that O’Bama’s recent Milwaukee speech sounded an awful lot like the very happy Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick’s campaign speeches from [...]

Kosovo Declares Independence

February 17, 2008

With the help of 16,000 NATO peacekeepers (of course), Kosovo officially declared its independence from Serbia!  Good for them, and it’s about time! 
Yet, Serbian nationalism is closely tied to Kosovo, for in June 1389, the Serbs were defeated by the Ottoman Turks at the Battle of Kosovo Polje.  Up until that point, Kosovo was a region [...]

“Man’s Man’s Best Best Friend Friend” For Sale

February 16, 2008

Cloning is a new and apprehensive science based on DNA manipulation using stem cells and hollowed embryos:  to many it lends to the old adage, “Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you must do it.”  However, that’s another debate for another time.
Recently, a Korean firm has found a way to put a positive [...]

Sandinista’s For O’Bama!

February 15, 2008

“President” and tin-pot third-world leader of the Socialist Paradise of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, is swooning over O’Bama, calling him “revolutionary!”  When a Leftist like Ortega is calling you “revolutionary” it’s time to be afraid.  Ortega also gushed over O’Bama’s outreach towards illegals, even though She Who Must Not Be Named has thus far gotten more [...]

The Obama Endorsement: Chafee Is As Chafee Does

February 14, 2008

Once upon a time, many thought that the sole purpose of this website to bash Lincoln Chafee and with good reason. All three of us are conservative Republicans who were born and raised in Rhode Island, and we were naturally disgusted with the leftist leanings of our former Senator. After siding with the [...]

No Love on Capitol Hill

February 14, 2008

Happy un-Valentines Day from Capitol Hill!
House Republicans led by John Boehner, walked out of the House chamber today en masse in protest of San Fran Nan’s willingness to push contempt charges against John Bolten rather than deal with the renewal of FISA and terrorist surveillance, which (by the way) is set to expire at midnight [...]

Romney Endorses McCain

February 14, 2008

Alas, Mitt Romney threw his weight (and his delegates) behind John McCain.  I suppose this was just a matter of time, but the more united the party’s face is, the stronger and more united the attack we can wage against the socialist monsters on the Left.

Consensus Science Bunk

February 14, 2008

I am an avid reader of National Review Online’s The Corner.  I typically find it a source of good intellectual discussion based in conservative principles, respectful dialog, and good common-sense.  Even when I disagree with what some of the posters of The Corner say, I still find the arguments interesting and well thought-out. 
Two days ago, [...]

O’Bama Sweeps Potomac Primaries

February 13, 2008

The Potomac Primaries (Maryland, Virginia, DC) were more of the same:  O’Bama wins and She Who Must Not Be Named shuffles people around as those in the shadows speak of ”firewalls” and so forth.
For O’Bama, it’s 20 of the last 28 in his column.  He has officially grabbed the “pledged” delegate lead and has indeterminable “mo-” at this [...]

Mohammed Cartoons: Solidarity on Free Speech

February 13, 2008

Two years ago, there was an incredible outrage from European (then Middle Eastern) Muslims over some satirical cartoons based upon Mohammad.  Michelle Malkin and 192 of her allied blogs participated in reprinting those very cartoons online.  Though Axis of Right was not among those blogs on the list, AOR did deal with this issue in a [...]

Scalia Talks Torture on the Beeb

February 12, 2008

The BBC recently interviewed Justice Antonin Scalia.  The highlights were just great to hear from an American Justice, with sentiments that make me proud to support Constitutional Originalism. 
Scalia scoffed at the “living document” interpretation of the Constitution, as well as the notion that the Constitution doesn’t allow for a “smack… in the face” during a ticking-time-bomb interrogation [...]

Tom Lantos (1928-2008)

February 11, 2008

Congressman Tom Lantos passed away today at the age of 80. Although most of his political positions were nothing to brag about, Lantos was always a class act and a patriot who truly loved his country. Having survived the Holocaust during his youth, Lantos clearly understood the nature of evil in our world [...]
