Heroes, POW Bracelets, Prayer & John McCain
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. He was just emaciated, very, very skinny, in this awful body cast.”The colonel and John McCain were cell-mates in that tiny cell for two of their more than 5 yrs of torture ...
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
Is It the Flu or a Head Cold? Could Be Ebola

A Pink Flamingo Special Guest Report - From Sally Vee
2008-05-08 04:44:00 AIRING AYERS & OBAMAA Pink Flamingo guest article by Sally VeeWe have Mayor Richard M. 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
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 ...

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!

My grandfather Froehlich was almost a statistic. Fortunately, my grandfather had a remarkable relationship with the Lord and a cast iron constitution.

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 ...

According to the most recent WSJ poll, evidently the GOP isn’t well favored by voters this year – or are they? The eternals are here. This is a poll for Registered Voters and not Likely Voters. Cindy McCain is not being treated decently by the liberal media, I think. So what if she is rich. John Kerry’s wife was worth a fortune and the liberal press ignored it.
