We Must Never Forget!

2005-08-25T12:07:00.000-05:00

It's nearing four years since the atrocity of September 11th, 2001. These days we rarely see the horrendous images of that day on network television. Some people in the media don't feel we should be exposed to them, but I strenuously disagree with that mindset. I believe we should keep them ever before us, lest some among us forget what we are fighting for. Freedom doesn't come without a cost.

This White House Is Too Cooperative!

2005-07-30T11:43:00.000-05:00

I'm all for civility and congeniality amongst people who have to work together, but depending upon with whom one is dealing, there can be such a thing as being "too nice".I greatly admire President Bush, and for the most part agree with his agenda, but I will admit that there have been times when dealing with the opposition party where I've felt that his administration lacked the sort of

What's In a Name?

2005-06-07T22:29:00.000-05:00

Amnesty International's recent use of the word "gulag" to describe our terrorist detention center at Guantanamo Bay was one of the most outrageously inaccurate and flawed analogies I have ever heard.I thought that Fox News Sunday's Chris Wallace did a very credible job of challenging William Schulz, (Amnesty International's executive director) on this issue, but although Schulz did engage in some

The "Borking" Game: Who Are The Major Players?

2005-05-28T11:11:00.000-05:00

One of the hottest issues currently leading in the news is that of the filibustering of President Bush's judicial nominees. Now that the so-called "memorandum of understanding" has been "agreed" upon in the Senate, we are all waiting to see what happens next. Of course, with regard to John Bolton, President Bush's choice for Ambassador to the U.N., we didn't have to wait too long at all before

CBS Redeems Itself......NOT!

2005-05-13T12:39:00.000-05:00

In keeping with its long-standing policy of dishonest reporting, it seems that CBS has once again deliberately misreported the news. No shocker there. Apparently, notwithstanding the shame of the Dan Rather/forged memos debacle, CBS has learned nothing about the importance of objectivity and truthfulness in their reporting of stories. Indeed, it seems as though their political bias is so deeply

The real Story That The Media Missed, Again

2005-05-04T11:49:00.000-05:00

The week of incessant coverage of the Jennifer Wilbanks affair has left me begging for less. This was a story that should have never been, except the media in this country must have their pound of flesh, anyone’s flesh. Being it is that time of year called “Sweeps Week” the media shot for the moon and extracted two pounds and, in typical media wisdom, missed the real story.John Mason, Miss

Jennifer Wilbanks.....If you can take anymore!

2005-05-02T17:52:00.000-05:00

Okay. I've been listening to people discussing Jennifer Wilbanks all day now, and I cannot understand where all this misguided sympathy is coming from. Let me be honest. I'm really quite irked about it. Even people with whom I'm usually in agreement seem to have come down on the side of the issue that is opposite mine, and I'm rather confused. I thought that Rush and Sean went way too easy on her

An Open Letter To Senator Frist

2005-04-28T16:19:00.000-05:00

Dear Senator Frist. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the VOLPAC survey.It is my sincere hope that the Republicans in Congress will find it useful in their efforts to govern this great country. Sir, I have filled out the survey as you requested but I must inform you that I will not be sending any monies to VOLPAC or any Republican candidate save for my two home state

In Defense Of Mark Levin And America

2005-04-03T15:02:00.000-05:00

I have never met Mark Levin, I have spoken with him as a one time caller to his radio program. I have never had any correspondence with the man outside of that one brief telephone call. So consequently he didn’t ask for, nor does he have the need for me to defend him. At the same time, I didn’t ask his permission to write this, but I’m going to anyway. That’s just me, you will get used to it, or

Let It Begin

2005-03-31T19:29:00.000-06:00

The chips are down; we have been thoroughly shamed on the world stage.Our elected representatives have allowed, once and again, a rogue court to defy the constitution. It is times like these that Americans show their metal.We the people should be outraged at the take over of our government by activist judges and the ACLU. Together these people have forced un-constitutional, non-legislated “laws”

Terri Schiavo. What Did You Expect?

2005-03-24T19:09:00.000-06:00

Anyone who thinks this is the beginning is wrong. It began in earnest during 1960s with the concerted effort of the Communists to sew the seeds of chaos in the young. They urged America’s youth to rebel, to rage against “The Man” and cast aside the “status quo” in favor of free love and the freedom from responsibility. Most people disagreed with the rebellious youth but passed it off as “kids

74 Members Of Congress Get it Right.

2005-03-07T20:24:00.000-06:00

In my post Men In Black I rightfuly had this to say about our Congress. This bunch of ner do wells we call Supreme Court Justices need to be chopped off at the knees, which brings me to our duly elected Mama’s Boys. Congress has the power to limit the federal courts meddling ways but they seem to enjoy the abuse, like all good Mama’s Boy do. Could it be that we the people have lost sight of the

Social Security Problem Solved.

2005-03-04T19:33:00.000-06:00

I freely admit that I am not an expert in economics. There are many “experts” out there touting various fixes, repairs and measures to make Social Security solvent. They all want to insure that when their time comes they will be given back the money they were forced to pay.I couldn't agree more.In keeping with the theme of this little blog I would now like to fix the

Men In Black, How The Supreme Court Is Destroying America

2005-02-26T19:06:00.000-06:00

Whose side are they on anyway? While reading the first five chapters of Men In Black, How The Supreme Court Is Destroying America, I reached two conclusions. First, the U.S. Congress is filled with Mama’s Boys. Second, the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

Some Muslims Get It...sort of.

Hat Tip: LGF It looks as though some Muslims are beginning to voice what most people have known/suggested for years. Good for them. Response to Freedom House Investigation February 21, 2005 By Freemuslims.org Muslim-bashing. That's the accusation many of my fellow Muslims now hurl at the various news outlets for their news stories about a Freedom House investigation that found extremist
