An excerpt, in an article called, “LAPD Plan To Map Muslim Communities Angers Some Groups,” caught my attention, “A plan by the LAPD counterterrorism bureau to create a map detailing the Muslim communities in that city was reported Friday to be angering civil rights groups. At least three major Muslim groups and the American Civil […]

Yesterday, at church, they really made a special effort to show their appreciation for our veterans. They had three veterans stand up, one from World War 2 and two from Korea. They talked at length about their experiences fighting overseas, three members of the local ROTC walked the church and presented the flag, we said […]

Science faces discrimination these days. That is the scientists daring to publish ideas supported by research but not conforming to political correctness is discriminated against. If the science doesn’t bend to preconceived notions or is somehow uncomfortable, scientists and other thinkers simply ignore it or worse, demean it. The academic environment has become so politically […]

Motor-mouth Chavez ran into something in Chile he likes to violently suppress at home: opposition (emphasis added): SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) – The king of Spain told Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to “shut up” Saturday during a heated exchange at a summit of leaders from Latin America, Spain and Portugal. Chavez, who called President Bush the […]

Or not. By now, everyone in the ‘spere knows about Hillary’s little gaffe, to whit, planting questions at a Townhall meeting (also mentioned yesterday on Right Wing News by Rob Port of Say Anything.) Interestingly, a DUmmie compares this to Hils whining about someone planting a question about her pro-Iraq War Operation Iraqi Freedom vote […]

All the big bloggers are all over the politics of why the “what’s so funny ’bout peace, love and understanding” moving pictures are bleeding money. But for me, it’s about the art, see? No, not the art of movies. I haven’t been in a movie theater in over a decade. No, I mean the art […]

If you had to guess that a bill the Democrats were going to introduce on crime and punishment would be more pro-victim or pro-criminal, which would you choose? {insert Jeopardy music here} Yep you guessed it. Pro-criminal is the correct answer. The Democrats who feature killing the unborn child as one of their major platform […]

I’ll say, up front, anyone who doubts all veteran’s are heroes need read no further. But for the vast majority of you who do, I’d like to take a little different slant in my tribute to veterans on Veteran’s day than you might see elsewhere. Most of the time, when you read tributes to vets, […]

Happy Birthday to the Marines Corps, born today in 1775! Here’s a message from General Lejeune to the Marines: On November 10, 1775, a Corps of Marines was created by a resolution of the Continental Congress. Since that date, many thousand men have borne the name Marine. In memory of them, it is fitting that […]

It’d be funny, if it weren’t so sleazy. But then, “sleazy” is just what you come to expect with the Clintons. DES MOINES, Iowa (CNN) — Sen. Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign admitted late Friday that a staffer spoke to potential questioners at a recent event, but denied that the New York Democrat had any knowledge […]

Wish I’d said this: “…in recent years, I’ve pretty much concluded that had men become extinct the day after Henry Ford launched his first production line, we’d still be driving Model T’s. “Though for certain, they’d come in more colours than black.” Update: (Hawkins’ Note: For the record, I don’t agree that we should repeal […]

Last week, the Daily Telegraph put out an attention-grabbing list of the 100 most influential conservatives in America. Lists of that sort, by their very nature, tend to be quite arbitrary and debatable, but the Telegraph’s list struck me as being particularly far off the mark. With that in mind, I decided to put together […]

Here’s a breakdown on the electability of the top tier GOP candidates in 2008. Keep in mind that a list like this is, by its very nature, is arbitrary and debatable. Moreover, I’m going to assume that Hillary will be the nominee these candidates would run against which is the most likely bet, but certainly […]

You can learn a lot about liberals from this “when Rosie met Bill story“, “He disgusts me,” O’Donnell recalled saying at the casino show. “And I know I’m not supposed to say this because I’m a good Democrat, but I didn’t want to [talk] to him because he lied to me when he said, ‘I […]

So, I’m looking for video of Jenna Bush on YouTube and I run across a video called, “Reptilian News – Jenna Bush – Reptile Daughter(Predator 2).” I’m not going to bore you with the video, because it’s just Jenna giving an interview about her new book with distortion over her face — but, here’s a […]

Back on July 22, 2006 — I wrote about concerns that I, and other people, had about the way that the Minutemen were handling their money. Here’s a little sample from that post, “I’m a big fan of the Minutemen and think they’ve been doing great work… …(But) where’s the rest of the basic info? […]

House Democrats will hold yet another vote on Iraq War funding. Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House will vote as early as Friday on legislation that would spend $50 billion on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but require that President Bush start bringing troops home.

Friends, In 1927 an American Socialist Norman Thomas admitted the American people would never vote for socialism. But he said that under the name of liberalism Americans would vote for every form of socialism. Thomas, who ran for President six different times, understood the power of incrementalism. He knew that a socialist agenda in America […]

I stole the headline above from Newsbusters because let’s face it, it’s hard to top that one, although I’m not entirely sure that he’s right. I mean, ponzi schemes have proven to be a brilliant scam and these Nigerian spam emails? They’ve turned into a whole industry. So, to be fair and balanced here, I’d […]

The latest liberal trend seems be getting waterboarded and then declaring that it’s torture. Code Pink has done it. Some of the posters at the Democratic Underground have done it. One of the columnists at the HuffPo has done it. …which begs a question. If waterboarding is really torture, why are so many people happy […]

The Bush surge continues producing good results, A reduction in violence in Baghdad over the past few months represents a sustainable trend that will allow fewer U.S. troops to protect the Iraqi capital, a top American general said on Wednesday. Major-General Joseph Fil, commander of U.S. forces in Baghdad, said al Qaeda in Iraq no […]

It’s time for me to rank my favorite blogs for the 4th quarter of 2007. Do keep in mind that as the quarter has progressed, some blogs have, of course, moved up and others have dropped, based on how often I visit them, how much I like what I see when I get there, how […]
