Posted on by John Hawkins

Not only am I a conservative, I’m a Southern Baptist who started going to church when I was knee-high. Moreover, most of my friends could fairly be called Christian conservatives. That being said, the first time I ever even heard the word “Dominionism” was on a left-wing website that was probably about as hostile to […]

The Wacky Palin Hillbilly Clan Strikes Again!

Posted on by John Hawkins

The Palin family circus just NEVER stops, does it? It’s just one embarrassing incident after another. How could any sophisticated, serious person consider someone with a family like that for the Presidency? First off, look at the people Palin grew up around.

Have you heard about the latest Tea Party controversy? Freedomworks and Tea Party Express were doing a nationwide Tea Party bus tour together. Unfortunately, the whole shooting match came unglued over Orrin Hatch and more significantly, Mitt Romney. FreedomWorks, a national Tea Party group that has long targeted former Massachusetts Gov.

Conservatives Are Doing A Lousy Job Of Explaining Fiscal Issues To The Public.

Posted on by John Hawkins

The momentum that the GOP had in 2010 is starting to drain away. Some of that was inevitable. After all, the wind at our back in 2010 was just about as strong as it could possibly get. That sort of fire-in-the-belly couldn’t last forever. Yet, these numbers from Rasmussen are troubling. “Tea Party” has suffered […]

(Before you read this, do keep in mind that I have not endorsed anyone and I’m not going to pull any punches.

How Many People Would Live If Julian Assange Were Dead?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Like Osama Bin Laden, Julian Assange is an enemy of the United States. Like Osama bin Laden, Julian Assange’s goal is to harm the United States and see as many Americans die as possible. Osama Bin Laden did it with bombs and we killed him for it. He deserved it. Julian Assange has done it […]

 

How’s Switching NASA’s Mission From Exploring Space To Muslim Outreach Going?

Posted on by John Hawkins

When I became the NASA administrator – or before I became the NASA administrator – he charged me with three things. One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to […]

6 Reasons For Conservatives to Support Rick Perry in 2012

Posted on by John Hawkins

Rick Perry has gotten the Sarah Palin treatment since he declared his intention to run for the presidency. No surprise there. The long knives always come out for anyone who excites conservatives and could be the next President. That’s not to say that Perry doesn’t have flaws. He does. Like any politician who’s actually governed, […]

PS: They should write you off as a fruit loop because what you believe is […]

 

Maybe These Katrina Victims Should Move?

Posted on by John Hawkins

There’s one thought that kept popping into my head over and over again as I read this article. Six years after Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast, the New Orleans neighborhood that was hardest hit still looks like a ghost town. Redevelopment has been slow in coming, and the neighborhood has just 5,500 residents […]

 

Giving 5 Year Olds A Graphic “Sex Box” In School

Our government already “bad touches” young children at the airport in the name of “security,” so how long can it be before this comes here?

The Ground Zero Mosque Imam Wants To Incorporate Sharia Into American Law

Posted on by John Hawkins

Sharia is a backwards philosophy that is incompatible with moderation and civilization. That’s something everyone from conservatives, to liberals, to real moderate Muslims SHOULD be able to agree with.

Posted on by John Hawkins

You have no safety net. Your policy has been one which I fully understand – I’m not second-guessing – of one child per family. The result being that you’re in a position where one wage earner will be taking care of four retired people. Not sustainable. — Joe Biden on China’s one child policy I’m […]

 

I Believe It’s Time To Redefine Pedophilia, Too….

Posted on by John Hawkins

The more immorality and sexual deviancy you tolerate as a society, the farther you slide down the slippery slope. Eventually, predictably, you get to the point where people work to take even the worst sorts of depravity into the mainstream. B4U-Act is a 501(c)(3) organization in Maryland that was established “to publicly promote services and […]
