My Niece is 23 Today
2008-05-11 07:15:00 SATURDAY, MAY 10Twenty-three years ago last night I was in Atlanta slobbering over Sherrill Milnes as he did Simon Boccanegra with the Met. They ended their annual tours a few years later, but I sure did hear some great music while they were in town. My mother and I would stay at the Colony Square Hotel, get a suite. My aunt would fly up from Palm Beach and my mother's best friend would also drive in for the week. We would do 6 nights of intensive opera, good stuff, too. The thing I remember about that specific week was ... More About: Today
Why Is There No REAL GOP Leadership in the House?

Nancy Pelosi has run rough-shod over them for nearly 2 years and they’ve basically surrendered.Flap is covering Newt Gingrich’s cry in the darkness. “…Nine Acts of Real Change That Could Restore the GOP BrandHere are nine acts of real change that would begin to rebuild the American people's confidence that Republicans share their values, understand their worries, and are prepared to act instead of just talk.

Another Pink Flamingo I Told You So – It’s the Narco-War – Not Immigr
2008-05-10 21:34:00 ARE CHAVEZ, FARC INVOLVED IN MEXICOIf you think illegal immigration is bad now, just wait. If what I think is happening, we are in for a massive tide of illegal immigration – refugees fleeing the growing narco-war in Mexico. This is a war, perhaps involving Hugo Chavez, the FARC, and his plans to undermine Mexico and bring terror to the border. Our precious little conservatives, who are pandering to hard-line racists who have nothing to do with the GOP are diverting money that needs to go into the fight against narco-terror.

A Weekend Obama-O-Rama Reader
2008-05-10 10:17:00 CAN WE ASK?The RNC has created a new site designed to for people who want to ask Barack Obama a question. It is a great idea. There are a heck of a lot of questions I would like to ask, such as: When did you last use illegal substances? But I am behaving myself. The Dems have a problem here. Barack Obama is not a good candidate. Roger Simon has put it so succinctly – Obama is not the man for our times. I think this puts Barack Obama into perspective.

Are There Any Decent Baritones in the World Today?
2008-05-10 07:55:00 FRIDAY, MAY 9NOTE: I am having problems with Blog Harbor and posting. I’ve been trying for about 2 hours to get something to “take”. I’m listening to the Met (Live) do MacBeth, one of my favorites. Carlos Alverez, doing MacBeth sucks. He’s okay, but he’s no Sherrill Milnes. Jimmy is incredible though. I saw a performance there, years ago, where I was sitting front row, two seats to the right of Jimmy. During the ghosts of Scotland past scene, they both became ‘tickled’.

My father has made the connection between Barack Obama’s statement that there are 57 ( maybe 58) states and has tracked it back to the John Kerry Campaign of 2004.

Now That the NYTimes Says Illegals Die in Detention…Will Anyone Care...Ye
2008-05-09 15:41:00 THIS WEEK’S IMMIGRATION NEWSThey are now called Juan Crow Laws. I have a real problem here. I am noticing a growing trend within conservative (extreme, not Republican) blog ranks to classify La Raza as racist. Along with that, there seems to be this under tone that maybe Hispanics are less than acceptable. Or, if they are, we’re talking “OUR” Hispanics and the other (UPPITY) Hispanics. Let’s face some very nasty facts here. The same individuals who fought against the Civil Rights reforms and integration in the Sixties are the very ones helping to promote hard-line immigration reform. Does ... More About: Care , Illegals

2008-05-09 02:01:00 THE POWER OF PRAYERYou need to catch Carl Cameron’s interview with “Bud” Day. Day was John McCain’s roommate while both were imprisoned during those horrible days in of the Vietnam War. The interview leaves you in tears. Day told Cameron: “…“I took one look at him and my brain instantly said they dropped this guy off on me to claim that we let him die.

Proving Hard Core Conservatives Wrong on Hispanics
2008-05-09 00:44:00 THE HISPANIC REPUBLICAN VOTERubin Navarrette has a PJ Media piece about the Mexican flag. There is a double standard. Anything Mexican is bad – evil, evidently. “…The point is, a lot of Americans look at anyone who waves a Mexican flag as secretly planning to take over the Southwest and hand it to Mexico. But they don’t suggest that anyone waving the Israeli flag - or the Irish flag, or the Italian flag or whatever - has something similar up his sleeve. In those cases, most people are likely to think that the display is harmless and that all ... More About: Conservatives , Hard , Hard-core , Core , Wrong

Daley of Chicago to thank for the reinvention and legitimization of the vile human being known as William Ayers. Daley magnanimously forgave and waved his royal hand over the head of extreme leftist/terrorist Bill Ayers, giving him more influence on America than we can fathom -- it is very likely Ayers has directly influenced your own children or those in your neighborhood. Mayor Daley hired Ayers to do the one job where he could spread his neo-marxist poison in the largest, surest measure ... More About: Report , Special , Guest
Hitting Big Mac on Judges
2008-05-08 04:02:00 SHOWING THEIR TRUE COLORSThere was something of a small feeding frenzy yesterday, lost in all the election news, about John McCain, his ideas about judges, and the extreme conservative reaction to it. Over the next few days I am going to be concentrating on the problems the GOP is facing with conservatives. It isn't that "conservative" is the problem. The problem is the fact that there is an entire breed of conservative that is not GOP and basically is wishing for the demise of the GOP. It is time we separate the conservatives from the Republicans and the honorable ... More About: Judges

Is Monsanto Targeting Farmers in Scorched Earth Policy?

I have a tendency to use organic when I think about it, but then we’re just dealing with me. I’m not all that worried about what I consume at home. If I’m cooking it, there’s a 90% chance it will not be edible and I’ll end up throwing it out. I HATE COOKING!

Conservatives & Ron Paul Bot Cost GOP House Seat In LA Last Night
2008-05-05 04:02:00 WAS JENKINS IMMIGRATION POSITION A LOSER?Once again sore-headed LOOSER conservatives have triumphed. Last night, in Louisiana, Republican turned Independent, Ashley Casey, cost the Republicans yet another house seat. If her votes had gone to GOP candidate, Woody Jenkins, Jenkins would have had 50,459 votes to Democrat default winner, "Don" Cazayoux, who had an unofficial 49,702. I don't know if the 757 vote difference would have been enough to avoid a run-off, but it is enough to determine these outcast conservatives can do serious damage to the GOP. There's more: Randall T.

Stealth Conservatives, Not Republican, Against the GOP
2008-05-04 06:21:00 THEY BETRAY THEIR “CONSERVATIVE” IDEALSI think there is this false perception that I do not like conservatives, and have something against them. In a way that is true. I am conservative. The only change I’ve been through in about 20 years of political evolution is the fact that I am now against the death penalty simply because I am so staunchly pro-life. It is rather ludicrous to be against abortion, but yet want to put criminals to death. It just doesn’t work. Other than that, I am as conservative (maybe a little more) as I was when Reagan was ...

If Chuck Baldwin Were Elected POTUS
2008-05-03 19:02:00 THE 'TRUE' CONSERVATIVE AGENDAFrom Border Fire Report (for what it’s worth) I keep telling you there are many conservatives who are not Republican. These are the individuals who have been doing all the agitating – and we’re not talking Ron Paul Bots. There is a division in the conservative ranks between libertarians, Constitution, and the new conservative party. The problem is these are the yahoos who basically cost the GOP the majority in the House and Senate in 2006. If we aren't careful and marginalize them, this will happen, once again, and could cost John McCain the election. They ... More About: Chuck
