Talking Points on the Right

For years now I’ve noticed how the left works off talking points.  One day you hear some theme and suddenly it’s everywhere, virtually word for word.  Whether it was “the politics of personal destruction” or “Republican corruption” it was clear that every Democrat talking head was working from the same play book, using virtually identical [...]

jetBlue Sponsors DailyKOS

I’ve been a fan of jetBlue for some time.  They’ve driven the cost of commercial air travel down and that’s a good thing.  Like Wal-Mart, they’ve been a huge benefit to consumers.  But all that has changed for me now.
It seems that jetBlue is a sponsor of the yearly KOS convention.  You know, the web [...]

For President Bush, Loyalty is a One Way Street

If there is one thing President Bush has placed a premium on it is loyalty. He expects those in his administration to be loyal to him. And he has expected the rank and file of the Republican Party to be loyal to him. The problem is, he doesn’t see the need to return that loyalty.
Conservatives [...]

Bipartisan BS

I can’t begin to describe my emotions upon hearing the collective stream of BS coming from the Senate Floor. Senator after Senator took the floor to describe their wonderful immigrant ancestors. The message was clear. All of us who oppose the rising tide of illegal immigrants remaining here legally are actually opposed to ALL immigration. [...]

Reid Between the Lines

Sorry but I stole that headline from Family Research Council. Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, has said the decision by the Supreme Court to uphold the federal partial birth abortion ban should have included O’Connor instead of Alito. The clear implication is that it would have been decided the other way under such circumstances. But [...]

Conservative John McCain?

It’s been a little while since I wrote a purely political post and now it is time. I received an email today from Bobby Harrell, Speaker of the House in the South Carolina Legislature. He was enthusiastic over John McCain’s win in the Spartanburg straw poll on Thursday. It seems that as of Thursday even [...]

The Social Gospel

This has been a difficult post to write. I’ve been working on it for several days. My biggest concern is that I not be misunderstood but I fear I cannot do justice to what I’m getting at. Some will read this post and just say “oh yeah!” Others will read it and conclude that I’m [...]

A Perfectly Dreadful Christian Dilemma

Neal Boortz went on a rant this morning about a woman in Charleston, SC. Brenda Kelly has six kids (four living with her) with three different fathers, works a $6.00/hour job, gets food stamps and Medicaid and complains that life is stacked against her. Read all the details in the Charleston Post and Courier. The [...]

Is the War in Iraq Worth Supporting?

Unless you live on a deserted island you are aware that 2/3 of American no longer support the war in Iraq. That coincided precisely with President Bush’s approval ratings which are the lowest of his presidency and one of the lowest of all time. For a multiplicity of reasons, Americans simply do not support the [...]

Another 1st Amendment Challenge

Today was the first day of Democrat control of Congress and the “historic” occasion of the first woman Speaker of the House. True to her word, Nancy Pelosi has already begun her 100 hour plan and, contrary to Democrat claims to want bipartisanship, they have completely stopped floor debates and even bypassed committees. The 100 [...]
