Does Reading The Bill Really Matter?

USA Today makes a few interesting points There’s a growing movement at town hall meetings and online to make sure members of Congress read the entire health care reform bill before they vote on it, and to make it available to the public at least 72 hours before a vote. “Read the bill” is typically […]

Progressives (Re)acting Without Response

You’ll remember from July 4th, I had a post up in response to one at the HuffPo by Mike Lux called “All Of  A Sudden, The Left Likes July 4th.” Today, Mike has a post up in response to RS McCain, Mike Gibson, and myself at the Huffington Post and Open Left entitled Conservatives (Re)acting […]

The Origins Of Life Bristle With Puzzle And Paradox

I don’t think this story actually means what Excitable Chucky thinks it means Some 3.9 billion years ago, a shift in the orbit of the Sun’s outer planets sent a surge of large comets and asteroids careening into the inner solar system. Their violent impacts gouged out the large craters still visible on the Moon’s […]

Operations Neptune And Overlord, 65 Years Later

It’s “A Gathering of the Greatest Generation” — though this year only a small group of that era’s aging heroes will commemorate the invasion of France at Normandy 65 years ago. On Saturday afternoon, veterans will attend a National World War II Museum ceremony in New Orleans recognizing soldiers, sailors and airmen who made that […]

Hmm, This Sounds Kinda Familiar

Don’t you think it sounds rather familiar? I wouldn’t kill an abortionist myself, but I wouldn’t want to impose my moral values on others. No one is for shooting abortionists. But how will criminalizing men making difficult, often tragic, decisions be an effective means of achieving the goal of reducing the shootings of abortionists? Following […]

What, Exactly, Do The GOP Moderates And Centrists Believe?

Every once in awhile, we are bombarded by erstwhile and wishy washy Republicans, as well as RINOs and if it endorses Democrat and votes Democrat, it’s a Democrat folks (here and here), not to mention the hoity toity left leaning MSM, that Conservatives need to embrace the moderates and centrists. For instance, Allahpundit, who takes shots at Rush […]

Food For Thought: Waterboarding A War Crime?

How can waterboarding be a war crime, or, as is usually written at unhinged leftist sites, WAR CRIME!!!!!, against Islamic extremists, when the Left refuses to acknowledge that we are in a war against Islamic extremists?

Declassify Obama Records Along With Torture Docs

So, John Hawkins has published a great article over at Pajamas Media entitled The Right Needs To Play As Dirty As The Left (in which he is correct,) and, reading the comments, someone mentions the Obama birth certificate issue. I’d kinda moved on from that, but, hey, what the heck, I’ll take a look to […]

Will Gay Marriage Cause The Next Civil War?

I love when the Credentialed Media disguises opinion as actual news. Of course, since bloggers tend to ignore Associated Press content because of their lack of wanting to share without payment, it took several days before someone actually noticed the missive, and linked it over at Fark, which usually catches things quicker: Gay Marriage: The […]

Thought On Blago And Barry’s Birth Certificate

Just a thought: why is it OK for all sorts of Conservative pundits to engage in theories about “what did Obama and his staff know and when did they know it?”, but, when other Conservatives want to know about Obama’s birth certificate and eligibility to serve as president, vis a vis “natural born,” we are branded […]
