So, early this morning, probably an hour after I’ve gone to bed, I got a call from the BBC’s World Have Your Say radio program asking me to be on their show this afternoon — which was before I was planning to get up (Yes, I do have an odd schedule. Thank you, blogging!) — […]

Uh-oh, it looks like Barack Obama has offended some of the liberals over at the Daily Kos for finally taking some reluctant, half-hearted shots at the anti-white, anti-American, conspiracy nut he has used as a “sounding board” and a spiritual mentor. Here’s Daily Kos diarist Kaos237 playing the “race traitor” card on Obama, I have […]

To be honest, I don’t know a lot about fingernail care, which probably makes me a typical man. Still, I’d heard a few people say that men should get manicures and the other night, I was talking to a female friend of mine and she told me that, yes, she does take a look at […]

Even after spending 20 years being friends with Jeremiah Wright and listening to his sermons, Barack Obama assured people that he didn’t know about his extreme views and that people were taking Wright’s comments out of context. Meanwhile, pretty much everyone else in America pegged Wright as a racist, anti-American demagogue. Well now, Wright has […]

Over at My Fox Birmingham, I kid you not, they have this ultrasound featured in a story called, “Did Jesus Appear In An Ultrasound?” Let me answer the question: clearly, unequivocally, Jesus did not appear in that ultrasound.

If you have a few bucks to spare, Woody Jenkins could use your support. Jenkins is a conservative candidate, running for the 6th U.S. Congressional District seat in Louisiana, which is a Republican district, and he’s in a close race.

When American Presidents get close to the end of their time in office and they need a “legacy builder,” they often turn to the Israeli crisis. Why, if they could just make peace between the Israelis and Palestinians, they’d go down in the history books! Then the reality of the situation — which is that […]

Late last week, I got together with Thaddeus McCotter, Chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee to talk about the new GOP Fiscal Integrity Task Force that has been announced in the House.

The reason this is funny is because it’s so true; western culture, including Barbie dolls, will help subvert the backwards, stifling Islamo-Fascist society that the weirdbeards and religious loons who run that country want to impose, A top Iranian judiciary official warned Monday against the “destructive” cultural and social consequences of importing Barbie dolls and […]

After watching Republicans beat up on each other for the last couple of years, it is really pleasant to see the genuine sense of full-on loathing that has developed between Hillary and Barack’s supporters of late. Today, there’s yet another poll that suggests that rifts in the Democratic Party that have been caused by this […]

Courtesy of Ace, Jeremiah Wright said the following yesterday, “I do not in any way disagree with James Cone.

“One doesn’t “tackle poverty,” like a football player. One shows the way of escape and provides sufficient role models along with capital and moral and educational structures that serve as ladders so people who want to climb out of the hole can do so.” — Cal Thomas

“Well, recently, a friend of mine reminded me that just prior to the 2006 election, consumer confidence was unbelievably high; regular gasoline sold for about $2.25-a-gallon; and the unemployment rate was 4.5%. Since then, consumer confidence has plummeted; gas now costs about a dollar-and-a-half-a-gallon more; unemployment stands at 5%; American homeowners have seen their home […]

If you’re in North Carolina, we’re getting pretty close to the primary and on the GOP side, it’s down to Fred Smith, who’s a businessman, a veteran, and a diehard conservative — and Pat McCrory, who’s a RINO. There are some other decent candidates running, but realistically, it’s going to be Smith or McCrory. So, […]

A few weeks ago, I ran an article called “Interviewing Six Conservative Female Bloggers On Dating.” The article received a lot of attention, drew a lot of links, and people were still discussing it weeks after the original piece came out.

After the last John McCain teleconference, the bloggers that participated were told they could email in any questions they didn’t get to ask.

Via the WAPO, here’s the latest bit of nonsense unscrupulous trial lawyers are using to get the worst sort of scum back on the streets, Studies have shown that up to 62 percent of antisocial and criminal behavior is “heritable,” a rough measure of a genetic contribution.

This is why: Rome, Apr 23, 2008 (CNA).- Nearly 70 percent of Italian gynecologists are now refusing to perform abortions on moral grounds, Agence France Presse reports.

One really must stop and appreciate this bit of irony, especially with Reid, Pelosi and Dean Reid, Pelosi and Dean threatening to weigh in on the candidate selection. I should say: light-weight in. But I digress. No matter how you slice it, what is now a fact, is that, the party that calls itself the […]

Last night, I did Conservatives with Attitude radio and it was really a lot of fun, not because I said anything particularly profound, but because people said a lot of nice stuff about me on the air. For a while there, I think I was getting the same feeling that people like Ann Coulter and […]
