John McCain?s Classy Concession Speech
2008-11-05 10:50:00 I had not expected to go emotional tonight. While I had hoped John McCain would win, I knew he could lose. And I’m sure I, and many other McCain supporters, prepared for just that possibility. But, when Sarah Palin and John McCain walked on stage in Arizona, I choked up. I had grown to admire both ...

President-Elect Obama Quotes CLB In Acceptance Speech. Well Sort Of.
2008-11-05 07:10:00 "To those who would tear the world down --- we'll defeat you. To those who seek peace and security -- we support you." President-Elect Barack Obama, During his acceptance speech I like this division of countries and it corresponds with the argument I have often made as to why the United States should seek to work with China, not against it. Most countries in the world (please don't anyone ask me to distinguish between the citizenry and the government here) want progress. They want tomorrow to be better than today. They want a strong economy and a productive work force. They want cars, televisions, and iPods. China is one of those countries. I am not calling on the United States to ignore China as a security threat, but I am saying we should support those countries that manifest a greater desire to build than to "tear the world down." And through our doing so, we will help defeat countries like Iran and North Korea, which are, at least for now, more committed...

John McCain’s Concession Speech
2008-11-05 06:39:00 As Senator John McCain has conceded, a new chapter in history was written. McCain’s supporters may initially look at this as something negative, while the brand new President’s supporters rejoice. But as believers we should trust in the One who established this new authority in the U.S. We can read from Senator John McCain’s concession speech how he encourages his supporters to submit to the newly elected president, recognizing that God is the one who instituted Barack Obama to the presidency. Complete Text of Arizona Senator John McCain’s concession speech: Phoenix, Arizona, Nov. 4, 2008 MCCAIN: Thank you. Thank you, my friends. Thank you for coming here on this beautiful Arizona evening. (APPLAUSE) My friends, we have — we have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly.

Left-wing hate speech: a defining feature of the Bush era
2008-10-28 21:08:00 If you got your news from “old media,” you’d think that the GOP was a party of race-baiting hate-mongers, with Democrats refusing to stoop to their level. Just look at the reaction of certain liberal gay bloggers to the West Hollywood resident is displaying a mannequin of “Sarah Palin hanging by a noose from the roof of [his] home.” While they rightly condemned this juvenile display, they acted as if such antics were a regular occurrence on the right, but a rare one on the left. At Towleroad, Andy opined, “As much as I despise the GOP ticket, mimicking the hate and racist imagery that McCain supporters have been flaunting with regard to Obama isn’t funny or original. It’s just stooping to their level.” Actually, Andy, that’s not stooping to the level of a few isolated McCain supporters, but expressing themselves in the manner of many left-wing bloggers in the Bush era. As Jamie Kirchick noted in an op-ed in the New York Daily Ne...

Freedom of speech
2008-09-15 00:40:00 There are times and places we all have to work in a role, and restrict what w say and how we say it, usually while working in some capacity. And even places like here we have to be careful just in case someone there sees it, which isn't entirely impossible. But maybe if I was totally straight in telling someone their faults were imaginary they may actually respond faster than the professional approach which drags it out for weeks.What does bother me is how people get them in the first place. Imagined inadequacies, beliefs in the good of others clearly not good, overlooking the obvious faults in others, assigning impossible causes to situations, all from normally rational people. We're taught it's the emotions, inner child and subconscious that do this, but to be so powerful to create a blind spot in a normally sensible person is tragic. I'm not planning to test this theory on anyone to see but I'm sure there are therapists who do and it may well work.So I can speak freely here ...

McCain Speech Reaction
2008-09-08 23:15:00 Yeah I know its a few days late. I watched (and Twittered) the McCain acceptance speech (then went to bed and dreamed that John McCain had moved his campaign's national HQ to my house while I was at work. Hilarity and strangeness ensued.) in full. Personally I thought the speech was mediocre. It seemed very disjointed. Considering that McCain is not the best at giving speeches I expected his speech writer to at least rev up the quality of the speech itself to help him out.As for the actual message most of it was pretty much what I expected from any GOP presidential candidate drilling, lower taxes, victory in Iraq, etc etc etc. Having said that there were a few points in the speech in which McCain v2000 seemed to have worked in a few lines...Like:Finally, a word to Senator Obama and his supporters. We'll go at it over the next two months. That's the nature of these contests, and there are big differences between us. But you have my respect and admiration. Despite our differences, ...

Best Speech Ever by an American Woman Politician
2008-08-31 10:27:00 So says Democrat and Obama supporter Camille Paglia of Sarah Palin’s debut on the national stage: We may be seeing the first woman president. As a Democrat, I am reeling. . . . That was the best political speech I have ever seen delivered by an American woman politician. Palin is as tough as nails.” I took particular note of those words because I had set aside Paglia’s Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson, a book I am reading for my dissertation, in order to prepare for my trip to the GOP Convention in St. Paul. And while I’ve read some criticism of the Palin pick this evening, notably Amy Alkon’s hard-hitting, “Palin by Comparison,” the more I read, the more I realize that she hasn’t been called Sarah Barracuda for nothing. Blogger Peg Kaplan at What If? links Harry Stein’s must-read post on the pick. Like Paglia, he was impressed with Palin’s speech on Friday in Dayton: the moment she strode ...
