The trip home from college for the three-day Labor Day weekend allows me to do many things. It gives me a chance to spend some time with my family, catch up with old friends, attend a football game at my old high school…. It also gives me a chance to catch up on the local political scene. I have written about David Scott’s farcical August | Read More »
Hello everyone! I haven’t been on as much the last few days because I’ve been busy moving back into a college dorm, but things are settled down now. Anyways, over at NRO’s The Corner, Victor Davis Hanson has given us yet another piece of his brilliance with three observations on Obama and how both he and his supporters use the race card. As we could | Read More »
He’s already written a superb couple of columns about why Obamacare is sinking and why Obama is retreating from it. Now, he’s got a couple of novel ideas on how we can begin the reform of our healthcare system. He gives us these in his latest piece at the Washington Post.
Promoted from diaries – Moe Lane. Very rarely do I get to actually talk about my own hometown in a discussion on national politics. Very rarely are the goings on of Douglasville significant enough to merit a mention beyond the local papers. However, that rant by Representative David Scott was one of the exceptions to the rule. As someone who spends a good portion of | Read More »
President Barack Obama, I am writing this to let you know that I am the mob. You see those people crowding in front of courthouses, in the streets, and in public spaces in towns and cities across the country as part of the Tea Party movement? That’s me. You see those people daring to hold their Senators, Congressmen and Women, and other public officials accountable | Read More »
I’m going to state what I think has become obvious to many of us over the last few weeks. The recent decision by those in the media to bring the “birther” controversy to the forefront of national discussion is not because the Right somehow wishes it so because of the Left’s continuing obsession with it. There are numerous reasons why the Left is obsessed with | Read More »
I don’t know if any of you have heard of this yet, but for those of you looking to help our returning veterans who have been wounded in the war on terror, here is one way. FOX News ran a story about a man named Irwin Stovroff, a distinguished WWII vet himself, who is running something called “Vets Helping Heroes,” which is an organization dedicated | Read More »
The RedState Gathering over the weekend gave me time to reflect on just how fortunate I am to be a member of a site like this. I don’t post all that much, but I’m always reading what you guys have to say. From the Front Pagers down to the diaries written by everyone else, I do my best to read as many of them as | Read More »
With Obama’s intent of drawing moral equivalence between us and our enemies, the need for moral clarity in the War on Terror becomes even more necessary. Despite the insistence of those on the Left to the contrary, there is a right side and there is a wrong side in this fight, and we have to understand this. Furthermore, we Americans have to understand that we | Read More »
Unsurprisingly, John McCain is unsure on how to vote on Sotomayor’s confirmation. From Yahoo! News: Sen. John McCain says he is still on the fence when it comes to voting for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. McCain says he is examining Sotomayor’s record as an appeals court judge to decide whether she understands the limits to judicial power. He voted against her when she was | Read More »
Well, like so many others here, I had the fortune of going to the RedState Gathering in Atlanta this weekend. Since I live in Douglasville during the summer, it was but a short trip intown for me, so I drove to both days of the conference. I was very lucky to get there, as I, like many college students, have very little money. I was | Read More »
Doubtless all of you here are well aware of the “beer summit” that took place the other day. However, I’m not entirely sure if all of you saw a certain photo that speaks volumes as to the character of Sergeant Crowley. You can find the image at the White House’s official blog here (I wonder how long it will be up there, though?). The American | Read More »
I’m going to join in on the Veepstakes speculation here with something that someone pointed out to me. Could McCain’s VP be Gov. Pawlenty? An interesting article from Yahoo New has this to say: Read it below the fold…
Now, as all of us here know by now, a small group of Republicans (one certainly wishes it was bigger group) have been gathering in the House chamber since the recess to protest the decision by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to have Congress go into recess without attempt to solve the energy crisis, and if the Republican Cloakroom website is any indicator (and it | Read More »
With the Leftward bent that most of the music industry has, it’s difficult for a Republican candidate to find a good theme song for their campaign–remember what happened when Reagan tried to use Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA”? Meanwhile, it’s noticeably easier for Democrats to find one for their campaign, like Bill Clinton’s use of Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop (Thinking About Tomorrow)”. But the | Read More »
I thought someone else here would beat me to it, but apparently not. Anyways, we all knew it was a matter of time before something like this happened. It seems like you can blame just about anything on the magical theory (read: religion) of global warming and twist and contort it to say just about anything about it, its effects, and who all it hurts | Read More »
I don’t often write blogs, or at least not as often as I probably should, but some things compel me to write down my thoughts. The primary in Georgia’s 10th congressional district is one such thing. First of all, let me start off by saying that I do not live in the 10th district. I am a soon-to-be college sophomore whose home is in Douglasville | Read More »
