Immigration Reform
13 June 2007What is the deal with immigration reform? If you have followed the debate and the actions in the Senate you may have wondered what is going on. Democrats clearly want immigration reform, yet Harry Reid pulled it from consideration after two unsuccessful attempts at cloture. He could have kept the debate going at least until [...]
For President Bush, Loyalty is a One Way Street
5 June 2007If 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.

Carter Says Bush Worst President in History
20 May 2007In a statement to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, former President, Jimmy Carter had this to say.
I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history. The overt reversal of America’s basic values as expressed by previous administrations, including those of George H.W. Bush and [...]
Amnesty by Any Other Name Still Screws America
18 May 2007President Bush, along with RINOs Lindsey Graham and John McCain and Democrat Ted Kennedy, have reached a “compromise” for comprehensive immigration reform.

The New Religious Right?
6 February 2007Opinion Journal today has a piece with the unappealing title Tithe and Spend Republicans. The ostensible subject of the piece is Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee who is a Baptist Pastor and self proclaimed conservative. Huckabee, however, seems to believe that the state should be the vehicle for carrying out Christian charity. From the article:
So while [...]
Co-Equal Branches of Government
6 February 2007Much is being said in the halls of Congress these days about the “fact” that Congress is a co-equal branch of government. As such, the argument goes, Congress has the authority to reign in the President’s plans with respect to the Iraq war. There have even been plans floated to limit the number of troops [...]
Is the War in Iraq Worth Supporting?
22 January 2007Unless 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
4 January 2007Today 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 [...]
Democrat Schizophrenia
5 November 2006Today Saddam Hussein was found Guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death by hanging. Predictably Democrats charged George Bush and Karl Rove with orchestrating the timing of the verdict to influence the election on Tuesday. Even Larry Sabato, Director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia said on FOX News [...]
A Glimmer of Hope
17 October 2006Over the last several weeks I have struggled with the likely results of the upcoming election. I have endeavored to remain optimistic in the face of what appears to be increasingly bad news for conservatives. Every poll, every news cast, virtually everything you see or hear today indicates that Democrats will take control of the [...]
