Is Conservatism in Decline or are Americans just Unhappy with a President P
2008-05-30 03:35:00 One of the greatest things about attending the University of Vriginia School of Law was the school’s collegial atmosphere where conservative students regularly interacted with our liberal peers, often engaging in thoughtful discussion of political and legal issues in a most civil atmosphere. A law student during the 1992 election, I had some great conversations with ... More About: America , Elections , President , Conservatism , Americans
Obama, Iraq & Reality
2008-05-30 03:03:00 When discussing the war in Iraq , Barack Obama , the likely Democratic presidential nominee, never ceases to remind us that he had opposed the initial decision to liberate that nation. He seems to be appealing to that supermajority of Americans who now oppose the war. Just yesterday Obama spokesman Bill Burton used the occasion of the ...

On Keeping One?s Cool
2008-05-30 02:00:00 Having a short fuse, I need to remind myself to keep things in perspective when something goes awry. Yesterday, when rushing to pick up my car, I got frustrated in traffic and feared I’d be late for the McCain press availability. But, when I returned my rental car, the people at Enterprise were efficient and ... More About: Random Thoughts , Cool
Left?s New Hero: Coward & Conscious Collaborator
2008-05-29 22:36:00 One sign someone has become a hero to the angry left when he appears on the MSNBC show, Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

For John McCain, Eight Questions Are Not Enough
2008-05-29 21:48:00 In a post yesterday, I noted that I covered John McCain’s “Press Availability” for Pajamas Media. They just posted my report. Let me whet your appetite with the opening paragraphs: One thing which distinguishes John McCain from his presidential predecessor as well as this year?s likely Democratic nominee is how frequently he makes himself ...

McClellan: Selling Out to Sell his Book (& secure his fame)
2008-05-29 18:04:00 Scott McClellan, perhaps the least distinguished of White House press secretaries in recent years, has now found himself the center of a media firestorm. It’s not unusual in this media culture for such mediocrities to gain such attention Usually when they do, they have something the media wants to sell or promote. In most ...

On John McCain & Indiana Jones
2008-05-29 04:05:00 I just returned from Senator John McCain’s press availability at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. It was first such event I have attended.

Obama: Iran?s Dictator or US CentCom General?
2008-05-29 03:11:00 As John McCain said yesterday, “Why is it that Senator Obama wants to sit down with the President of Iran, but hasn’t yet sat down with General Petraeus — the leader of our troops in Iraq ?” Good question. Let’s help encourage Senator Obama and have him visit our troops in Iraq (and Afghanistan) as well as ... More About: America , War On Terror , World War I , Liberals

McCain?s Class in Television Appearances
2008-05-28 22:42:00 For someone who lives in Los Angeles, I spend remarkably little time watching television.

On ?Homophobia? Accusation & the Gay Marriage Debate
2008-05-28 20:53:00 Last March, I pointed out why I don’t use the word, “homophobia,” a term which many gay people and even those in the media use to describe anti-gay attitudes: Simply put, I don?t like the word. I understand that it means an aversion to homosexuality and gay people, but as a lover of words, I also ... More About: America , Marriage , Debate , Gay Marriage
Questions for Scott McClellan

What Is Obama Afraid Of?
2008-05-28 14:22:00 In a very savvy move the other day, John McCain “sharply criticized Democratic rival Barack Obama for not having been to Iraq since 2006, and said they should visit the war zone together”. In his support for the war effort McCain has been remarkably stalwart as Obama has been in seeking defeat at all ... More About: War On Terror , Elections

Bob Barr Pledges To Repeal DOMA
2008-05-28 03:07:00 American politics are really weird sometimes. The changing of positions is enough to give me whiplash. Up is down, down is the new up. White is black, black is the new white.

The Truth About Muhammad
2008-05-27 14:42:00 I finally had the chance to get through this book, via the unabridged audio verson. It’s a rather interesting work, though more along the lines of religious apologetics in my view than useful political commentary. As an apologetics piece and even an unabashedly biased view of history, Robert Spencer’s work is quite powerful. Christianity and ...

MSM looks for a Jeremiah Wright in McCain?s Occasional Associations
