Conservative Politics, Religion, Culture, and Anything Else
From the monthly archives:
One thing I learned about war heroes when I was a child is that not many of them like to talk about their experiences. As I became interested in politics, I noticed that this tendency held true, which was surprising since politicians are supposed to enjoy talking about themselves. One politician in particular, [...]

The first conspiracy theory I heard regarding the last Russian tsar’s family was that Princess Anastasia escaped execution by the Bolsheviks and was living somewhere in Europe. Leonard Nimoy (or whatever that dude who played Spock is called, help me out Ryan) even hosted spooky shows about it. That is, until 1991 when [...]

The Roberts Court ruled today that Indiana’s Voter ID law is constitutional in a 6-3 decision by amply justifying that IDs serve “the valid interest in protecting ‘the integrity and reliability of the electoral process,’” according to the majority.
I’ll let you guess which three were in the minority…
Give up?
Stephen “International Law” Breyer, Ruth “Biddy” Ginsburg, [...]

I love them. I hate them.
Despite the socio-political leanings of the music networks, I applaud VH1 for keeping pop culture over the last three decades alive for those who either don’t remember the formative years of Gen X or for those who just love to immerse themselves in the nostalgia. I am mostly the latter (being a kid in [...]

I know I’m going to disagree with John McCain more times than my conscience will like, but he needs to back off this one. The North Carolina Republican Party is trying to paint a Barack Obama out of touch with mainstream North Carolinians by citing Obama’s close relationship to the crazy Reverend Wright.
Here’s the ad which is causing [...]

While the Democrats are in a locked Pyrrhic duel to the political death, the MSM (represented this time by the LA Times) has run this bigoted hit-piece on John McCain. It’s really sad that they’ve gone this low, yet it’s hypocritical at the same time.
The crux of the argument infers that McCain’s too old, sick and [...]

I thought this post at Michelle Malkin’s blog yesterday was telling about which party is the one our enemies are rooting for this November.
As if you didn’t know!
With fewer friends nowadays after his tough double-digit loss last night Barack Obama can feel a bit better counting on solidarity from Hamas and FARC. She Who Must Not [...]

Pope Benedict XVI was 100 percent correct when he recently stood up for the sanctity of every human life, born and unborn, during the Papal Mass at Yankee Stadium. Any society that can cavalierly destroy God’s precious gift is contrary to our nature, and as such, a society that fails to respect human life is [...]

So the day has finally arrived!

After all the talk, punditry, ads, speculation, name-calling, race-baiting, and truth-telling the people are finally going to decide the fate of the Democrat race for President!
I hope “Operation Chaos” comes through today because if She Who Must Not Be Named wins by a decent enough margin, that will harm Obama [...]

The Philadelphia Inquirer posted this editorial by former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum which articulates as well as I’ve heard thus far the reasons why Conservatives should come out to vote for McCain.
Of course, true conservatives have some reservations about John McCain because of his stands on some of the issues and his obstruction over the last [...]

The Pope visited Ground Zero this morning to say a prayer, light a candle and meet with some of the victim’s families. Later, Benedict will be giving a much anticipated mass at Yankee Stadium at around 2:30pm EDT.
One could tell that this gesture was deeply felt by Benedict and others with whom he met that were affected by this act [...]

This story is scary crazy.
I’m not going to post any pictures regarding Yale University’s Aliza Shvarts’ macabre “art project” where after artificially inseminating herself and inducing a miscarriage numerous times, she used the byproduct as part in each of her “art” works.
That is about as sick and twisted a thing as I’ve heard come from our [...]

The Democrat debate last night in Philadelphia was the closest the Dems will ever get to the kinds of questions Fox News would have given them in this election cycle — addressing issues of character, history, and other vetting issues. Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopolous are feeling the pain for going against the MSM’s Leftist talking-points [...]

I know this story’s a little bit old, however, while cheering the Dem Debate last night, I heard Imus this morning picking on Fox News, specifically O’Reilly and Hannity, using the recent phrase uttered by Obama’s reverend, Jeremiah Wright, at one of Wright’s friend’s funeral that O’Reilly and Hannity were both “forever stuck on stupid.”
Nice try, Reverend [...]

The Global Warming alarmists have finally worn down the GOP passed the weak-kneed crowd, and into the Bush-crowd (which is increasingly looking like only Dubya himself). Only the open-minded, conservative-wing remains as the firewall against an economic cataclysm based on ever-changing scientific data.
It goes to show how all Libs need to do is find an issue where [...]

Pope Benedict XVI’s visit to the United States began today at Andrew’s Air Force Base in Maryland. He met President Bush, Laura and Jenna along with a throng of cheering crowds and fanfare. He also clearly denounced the pedophilia scandals that have rocked the Roman Catholic Church over the last decade or so.
Great start to [...]

Take that Lefties! Former Italian Prime Minister and supporter of winning the War on Terror, Silvio Berlusconi saw his ”People of Liberty Party” recently win both houses of Italy’s Parliament, making the former Prime Minister the new incoming Prime Minister.
France, Germany and now Italy all have center-right governments… maybe we’ll get one later this year too!

One classic line of attack from the liberal playbook is the false charge that conservatives are threatened by powerful women. You’d think conservative admiration for powerful women such as Margaret Thatcher, Jeanne Kirkpatrick, and Condoleezza Rice would have dispelled this notion, but facts never got in the way of a good liberal talking point [...]

By now most of you have heard that Jimmah Carter is going to Syria next week, where he’s most likely going to meet up with an exiled Hamas leader, Khaled Mashaal. Jimmah, who has called Israel “an apartheid state” in the past and continues to be predictably on the wrong side of history, becomes the [...]

Last night, American Idol had their contestants close with a song called “Shout to the Lord.” Yet, in a song about Jesus, they replaced “Jesus” with “Shepherd!” Wow. The anti-Christian bias in the media is well-known and documented, but editing “Jesus” in a song about Jesus?!? Why choose the song in the first place?
It sounds like American [...]

The fact that The Corner’s David Freddoso can report economic data from 2008 compared to economic data from 1996 and juxtapose the statistics with Democrat quotes all in about a minute and half is proof positive of the media’s laziness, dishonesty, or both.
UPDATE: The Anchoress has a great roundup of this one, complete with cartoon.

Five years ago, the wall-to-wall Iraq War coverage had a breaking news bulletin where cameras showed us the sights from Baghdad.
I was at lunch duty at school (that’s when teachers watch students eat and confiscate cell phones) when pictures of US Marines in the center of Baghdad wrapped a US flag over the head of a Saddam statue. [...]
