The lesser of two evils?
2008-03-06 05:53:00 I don’t like the idea of voting for John McCain. I’ve said it many times before, but I’m afraid we’re going to lose the Republican party to liberals if we keep voting for the lesser of two evils rather than insisting on quality conservative candidates. On the other hand, Daniel Oliver made a great point on ...

Not satisfied with McCain? Vote for Huckabee.
2008-02-19 08:03:00 If you live in a state that has not yet held its primaries and you do not support McCain, I’d encourage you to vote for Huckabee . McCain is still short of the nomination, and we don’t have to support the establishment candidate. Huckabee can’t get the nomination, but he can ensure that we get a ...

Judge declares Declaration of Independence ?unconstitutional?
2008-02-15 10:27:00 I’m currently experiencing blogger’s block. I can’t seem to come up with anything to write about lately. So instead of writing something of my own, I figured I’d introduce a gem of an article from Townhall.com entitled Judge Declares Declaration of Independence Unconstitutional . …?Laws of Nature and of Nature?s God,? ?Endowed, by their Creator??

The annoying Firefox pop-up window size bug
2008-02-02 03:47:00 Has anybody else experienced the frustration of trying to comment on blogs hosted by blogspot? You know, you click on “Leave a Comment,” and the pop-up window is about a tenth of the size it should be. You can’t read the other comments, and you certainly can’t leave one of your own.

Liberals, liberals, everywhere
2008-02-01 05:09:00 According to National Journal’s ratings, Barack Hussein Obama was the most liberal of all US senators in 2007. Hillary was ranked 16th. Those conservatives who are thinking an Obama presidency would be better than a Hillary one better think again. On the Republican side, we have John McCain, who didn’t even vote enough last year ...

Fred calls it quits
2008-01-23 00:25:00 Fred withdrew his candidacy today. UPDATE: Mitt Romney issued this statement: Throughout this campaign, Fred Thompson brought a laudable focus to the challenges confronting our country and the solutions necessary to meet them. He stood for strong conservative ideas and believed strongly in the need to keep our conservative coalition together. Ann and I would like to extend our best wishes to Fred, Jeri and their family and congratulate them on their efforts during this campaign. UPDATE2: Fred would likely have won Louisiana: Louisiana’s social conservatives created the winning “Pro-life, Pro-family” slate in early January largely because we didn’t know if Fred was still going to be a candidate at the time of our caucuses (turns out that he wasn’t, by a few hours). Because we had almost all the state’s social conservative leaders for Fred, we were also able to stave off Huckabee by use of this “pro-life, pro-family” slate. I was re... More About: Calls , Fred
My punditry days are over?
2008-01-20 04:16:00 I’m 0 for 2 now. I thought Romney was out of the race after New Hampshire, and I thought Fred was going to win in South Carolina. Just goes to show that you can’t make accurate predictions if you’re emotionally invested in the outcome. I’m disappointed that South Carolinians decided to vote for John McCain and ...

David Limbaugh: Answering Fred?s Call
2008-01-18 04:01:00 David Limbaugh (Rush Limbaugh’s brother) encourages people to support Fred Thompson: Commentators are citing the unpredictability of the Republican primary contests as proof that Reagan conservatism is dead when precisely the opposite conclusion is warranted. The main reason the conventional wisdom is being shattered in the primaries is that conservative voters, so far, have not been persuaded ... More About: David , Call

Predestination vs. free will
2008-01-14 06:55:00 Does God predestine us or do we choose him of our own free will? As pointed out by J.P. Holding at Tektonics, the question boils down to a dichotomy: “Does God foreknow because he foreordains or does he foreordain because he foreknows?” I tend to believe the latter. In a very loose sense, I believe ... More About: Free , Predestination , Free will

Rush: ?It looks like we have a conservative in the race, folks?
2008-01-12 01:51:00 It’s not an endorsement, but it’s apparently as far as Rush Limbaugh, who doesn’t do endorsements in primaries, will go: “It looks like we have a conservative in the race, folks. “…You just heard Huckabee say, in defining Reaganism, ‘We need to make sure that we communicate that our party is just as interested in helping the ...

SC Debate Winner: Fred Thompson
2008-01-11 05:02:00 Jim Geraghty of National Review says that Thompson was the big winner in the SC debate. He mentions that Frank Luntz?s focus group says Fred won, too. He must have, because at this moment I cannot access Fred’s website and the amount of donations has skyrocketed in the past hour. Go Fred!! Update: Here’s Fred explaining ...

Six Things About Me (That You Could Give a Flying Leap About)
2008-01-10 05:47:00 I must apologize to my (three) non-American readers, as they have probably become fed up with all these posts on the upcoming presidential election.

With Romney out, is Thompson going to take the lead?
2008-01-09 02:47:00 Romney outspent all the other candidates combined in both Iowa and New Hampshire, and yet he was unable to take first place in either state. This should prove that he is unviable as a candidate. If he drops out, we’re left with John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee and Fred Thompson (no one really believes ...

Highlights from the NH debate
2008-01-06 14:03:00 All the good parts from the debate (highlights featuring Fred Thompson): I think Fred hit a home run.

Giuliani just doesn?t get it?
2008-01-06 07:03:00 If you get to stay (in other words, cut line in front of people who are trying to get into the country legally), it’s amnesty. Giuliani just can’t seem to wrap his mind around the concept. If you come here illegally, you shouldn’t be allowed to stay. It’s really that simple. More About: Foreign Policy
Romney is the Republican version of John Kerry
2008-01-05 15:01:00 It was mentioned in the humorous video I posted earlier, but the Republican s spent all of 2004 criticizing John Kerry for flip flopping, and now one of our front runners is Mitt Romney , a flip flopper of at least the same caliber as Kerry. Joseph Farah lists a few of the Romney flip flops at Worldnetdaily.com: * ...

ADL sinks further into irrelevancy
2008-01-03 10:56:00 The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) was supposedly established “to stop the defamation of the Jewish people, to secure justice and fair treatment to all citizens alike,” but under the leadership of Abraham Foxman, they have become a group of irrelevant political hacks. They attack Christians, America’s Christian heritage, and anyone or anything else that is not ... More About: Sinks

Violent polytheists
2007-12-28 03:10:00 How many times have you heard that monotheism is the source of the world’s problems? Monotheists like Christians, Jews and Muslims are supposedly the root of all evil. If only everyone could be as open-minded as the polytheists there wouldn’t be religious violence, they say. One only needs to look to India to see that ... More About: Violent
