Barack Obama’s speech yesterday was the same old, same old being marketed as something radically new and different. But, honest question: the rhetoric may have changed, but where’s the real difference? For example, Barack Obama strongly condemned some of the recent, racist, anti-American comments that his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright, made. That’s good. But, did […]

Last week, I was talking with one my friends on the phone and she was telling me how much she hated the idea of men having their wives sign pre-nuptial agreements. That’s because, in her mind, the agreements were a sign that the man doesn’t view the marriage as permanent. But, au contraire, I told […]

Little Ms. “prisoner on a leash” from Abu Ghraib is out of prison and causing a stir, Lynndie England, the public face of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, told a German news magazine that she was sorry for appearing in photographs of detainees in the notorious Iraqi prison, and believes the scenes of torture and […]

From the Washington Times, “Ron Paul says the legions of newcomers his presidential campaign brought to the Republican Party are getting the cold shoulder from John McCain and from the party. The Texas congressman says neither he nor his supporters have heard from Mr. McCain or Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan since March 4, […]

“So, here’s question; if you knew a year ago that (Wright) was saying things so anti-American, so dishonest, so hateful, that you were going to have to disown him, then…why did you only disown him when it became such a big political issue? And if you thought what he was saying was false and wrong […]

The hopes of Democratic Party leaders to solve the delegate impasses in Florida and Michigan have been dashed, as technicalities have proven impossible to overcome. The AP reports that, “Facing strong opposition, Florida Democrats on Monday abandoned plans to hold a do-over presidential primary with a mail-in vote and threw the delegate dispute into the […]

A couple of weeks back, I put together an article called Blogging While Female: 5 Conservative Women Bloggers Talk About Gender Issues And The Blogosphere. The article and the revelations in it about the trials and travails that female bloggers have had to endure was well received and started a lot of discussion. So, since […]

I just finished reading Obama’s speech and he is pretty clearly trying to have it both ways on Jeremiah Wright. First of all, after condemning Wright’s unpatriotic and racist comments of late, which quite frankly, aren’t all that surprising given that he has a history of making similar comments, Obama goes on to say, Given […]

Here’s an email that was sent to me by RWN reader Craig W. Smith. There’s no need for me to add any commentary because it speaks for itself, CNN reported in late Feb 2000 that, “The members of Bush’s senior team in Austin, Texas, were only vaguely aware of Bob Jones University’s policies and past.

Sure, I could have taken the easy way out and pointed out the numerous Kossacks defending Jeremiah Wright saying, “God d*mn America,” but I dug a little deeper and came up with this shining example of America hating liberalism from Daily Kos diarist professorfate, The United States needs to be invaded – not just invaded […]

Jeremiah Wright is an enormous problem for Barack Obama for three reasons. 1) Wright’s “God d*mn America” comments play right into the “Obama isn’t patriotic” meme. Obama makes a big deal over not wearing a flag pin, he doesn’t hold his hand over his heart for the national anthem, his wife says she is really […]

Over at Classical Values, they’re making an argument that I’ve heard a lot lately, In a comment to an earlier post, I opined that Hillary has a far better chance of beating McCain than Obama ever would, which is why I questioned the motives of some of the Republicans who support her. But in this […]

In Minneapolis, dirty hippiefest 2008 apparently took place this week-end. Judging by the pictures, it featured a bunch of commies, dour looking liberals, anarchists, and other assorted miscreants getting together to protest the war. There are some pics here, but there were a couple that really stood out for me. First, here’s a typical “patriotic” […]

Our leftwing friends leaped with glee on the leak about this report – because the leak had that the report was all about how Saddam wasn’t connected to al-Qaeda. This was a false leak – the report doesn’t say that. What it says (page ES-1) is that no “smoking gun” was discovered showing a direct […]

My latest Townhall column, Why I Am A Conservative, did pretty well on Townhall this week. It’s very cool for a little peon like me to only have Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams beating me for the week in forwards.

In the New York Times: The $1.6 million Templeton Prize, the richest award made to an individual by a philanthropic organization, was given Wednesday to Michael Heller, 72, a Roman Catholic priest, cosmologist and philosopher who has spent his life asking, and perhaps more impressively answering, questions like “Does the universe need to have a […]

I just wanted to be the first to predict that he’s over. It was a good run while it lasted. ***** Of course, as my brother said, he’s running against Hillary Clinton, so anyone is going to be in that race ’til the end. Cross-posted at Dr. Melissa Clouthier where we’re talking about Sea World […]

You’ve all heard the famous Obama line where he’s referring to Hillary Clinton and her campaign and claiming they’re trying to put one over on everyone? “You all know the okey-dokey, when someone’s trying to bamboozle you, when they’re trying to hoodwink you?” More and more people are beginning to examine the Obama background and […]

I have been Pro-Life for as long as I could remember and it was never a religious thing for me and I am not a “Christian Conservative”, or a member of the “Religious Right”, as I am not a Christian. So for me, it wasn’t God’s message or the Church’s teaching that I was following […]

The AP reports that McCain has made his 8th trip to Iraq (via Memeo): BAGHDAD – Sen. John McCain, the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee for president who has linked his political future to U.S. success in Iraq, was in Baghdad on Sunday for meetings with Iraqi and U.S. diplomatic and military officials, a U.S. government […]
