Monday, February 25th, 2008On numerous occasions, I have heard Democrats mock President Bush’s speaking ability. Clearly, the man is not the world’s greatest public speaker. I do not know if he has an actual speech impediment or if he just does not care about the way he sounds, or if some mis-guided analyst focus-grouped things [...]
Questions
Monday, February 25th, 2008Do you really think our public schools are doing a good job? Keep in mind that most of the teacher’s union dollars go to the Democratic party.
Do you really want to see our medical system go the way of Canada or the UK? Keep in mind that 1/4 children in the UK cannot [...]
A reason to worry
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008Despite his pro-life stand, Senator John McCain is now the favored candidate of the Republicans for Choice Action Committee following Rudy Giuliani’s exit from the presidential race, Cybercast News Service reports.1
CNA did not provide a link to the original article.

Better than I thought
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008As results were tallied, McCain led with 345 delegates, to 129 for Romney and 115 for Huckabee. It takes 1,191 to win the nomination at this summer’s convention in St. Paul, Minn.1
This surprised me. I had not realized that Mr. Huckabee was doing so well. Perhaps he was not, going into “Super Tuesday.” [...]
RIP
Friday, November 30th, 2007I learned today that Congressman Henry Hyde has died, and gone to meet his Maker.1 Congressman Hyde once either said or wrote (I do not know which)
When the time comes, as it surely will, when we face that awesome moment, the final judgment, I’ve often thought, as Fulton Sheen wrote, that it is a [...]
The false conservatives
Monday, November 26th, 2007Mr. Robert D. Novak believes that the only “true” conservatives are those who are for a small, limited government with a low tax burden.1 He calls the “moral” or “social” conservatives “Republican acolytes,” and states that we are a “danger” if we support one of our own instead of a “conventional conservative.”2
I do not [...]
The problem with Vice Presidents
Thursday, November 8th, 2007Is that they effectively have no power. That is why even if former governor Mike Huckabee is chosen as the vice-presidential candidate for one of the pro-death candidates, which the Associated Press thinks likely,1 the quandary I expressed yesterday2 will remain in full force. I doubt picking Mr. Huckabee as his [...]
another one bites the dust
Wednesday, November 7th, 2007Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson has joined the list of candidates that I would have a hard time justifying voting for.1 I am not sure that I can vote for a pro-choice republican, even as a vote against the democratic candidate who would be worse. I suspect it might be better, in the [...]
quote of the day
Thursday, November 1st, 2007UN agencies constantly use the number 500,000+ as the number of women worldwide who die each year from complications from pregnancy. They go on to use that number as a reason for abortion to be legalized. The problem is the number cannot be substantiated since most countries do not report data on deaths at all [...]
Polygyny coming to Canada?
Thursday, August 30th, 2007More accurately, polygyny is already there, the question is whether or not it will become officially legal.1 I am disgusted almost beyond words. The one comment worthy aspect of the article is the trenchant observation that freedom of religion would have to give way if this were a question of homosexual rights or [...]
