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” […]

Hat tip to American Digest for the graphic.

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 […]

The website of the day is mountaineer musings.

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 […]

Terry Trippany, writing at NewsBusters, notes that the AP is bending over backwards to clean up the mess of Barack Obama’s long-time close association with Jeremiah Wright, Jr.: The AP Style Guide on Defending Barack Obama For one of many excellent pieces providing some much-needed balance in the coverage, try this: Deconstructing Obama’s Lawyerly Evasions […]

Update: Obama says they attended in spurts: The MSM is reporting on Obama’s STRONG condemnation of his pastor’s controversial, racist, American hating remarks. Sister Toldjah finds the defense laughable. Despite the holes in Obama’s repudiation, such as the fact that he was a member of Wright’s church for twenty years and apparantly never heard one […]

I was just talking to my wife last night about how McCain just might be real change vs Obama’s rhetorical change. McCain has a history of reaching across the aisle and has paid a price for it. I’m trying to think of when Obama actually reached across the aisle and nothing is coming to mind. […]

In the interest of bipartisanship, change, unity, and hope — and because “MoveOn is asking its followers to come up with ‘Obama in 30 seconds’ video ads,” I put together this little video. It went a little long, but it’s the thought that counts, right? PS: The intro voice is Scott Lanter.

Long ago, when I was a mushy headed moderate, I studied conservatism and liberalism to try to figure out what the best philosophy was for my life and for my country. After doing that, I became a conservative because… * I don’t think some politician in Washington who has never held a job outside of […]

Over at Newsbusters, they’ve been focusing on a particular aspect of the Eliot Spitzer scandal since it broke. The results of a study they’ve done won’t surprise any conservatives, but if the mainstream media were really serious about being objective, it would lead to a lot of soul searching at the networks, Study: Networks Always […]
