The US under President Obama has assisted in the overthrow of Mubarak in Egypt and Qaddafi in Libya as civil unrest turned violent in those countries. Egypt and Libya. Both countries led by ruthless dictators – who nonetheless led stable countries that were friendly with the US. At the time, many commentators warned of replacing the devil you know with the Devil you don’t know. Mainly concerned | Read More »
And some blacks are brainwashed into voting for Democrats. See how far a white Republican candidate gets with either of those last two statements. Herman Cain as a the Republican Nominee for President presents opportunities that we may never have again. He is unabashed at speaking straight to the heart of social conservatism. Yet he is best known for his fiscal strength. Never have | Read More »
Father John Corapi is a powerful and dynamic conservative Priest. A staple of Catholic TV, Radio, publishing, and speaking tours; he has amassed a very loyal following. He has likely saved many lives with his “freebasing cocaine with Rockstars to Catholic Priest” story. He has long been a favorite of mine, because of the depth of analysis he brings to the issues of the faith | Read More »
Dear Senators, Congressmen and Congresswomen, My open letter to you is that you all sign off on the following open letter to President Obama. The attacks on your constituents have gone to far. This administration is responsible for what it says. When this administration and this DNC refuses to even mildly challenge the vile speech of their loyalists, they not only provide tacit approval, they solidify the belief that | Read More »
Lineholder put together a beautiful diary reminding us all of the both the significance and the insignificance of our recent battles. She reminded us that the fight will be tedious and difficult and unrewarding at times, but that we are optimistic by nature and our optimism has borne fruit again and again. That we have reason on our side and should use it to defend | Read More »
Oddly enough, two days ago, I made the following comment in response to a question about how Sherrod Brown ended up an Ohio Senator – As the story goes, Sherrod Brown was the beneficiary of rino tomfoolery. In 1992 the R establishment in Ohio wanted Mike Dewine to run for retiring Howard Metzenbaums senate seat in 1994, but staunchly conservative 6 term congressman, Bob McEwen | Read More »
This pew poll was taken July 20-24. It shows a 15% decrease for Obama in the last two months among independents and a 10% decrease for Obama among all registered voters in the last two months. The dates would certainly seem to include voters initial take on the debt ceiling debate, but not the republican in-fighting of this week. The question is does this belie | Read More »
If I was a “moderate” by my definition of “moderate” that could very well have been the pressing question on my mind last night after having watched the President speak, and the Speaker respond. I assume that the vast majority of those we call moderate are are simply those people not overly concerned with politics, and whose opinions on the issues of the day have | Read More »
In response to Eric’s post yesterday I made the following comment, which was really more diary length than comment length. At issue was Obama’s threat to not send out SS checks vis-à-vis the Constitutional mandate not to default on the public debt. I would argue that if the SS “trust fund” was a “trust fund” in any true sense of the word, then SS payments | Read More »
So it’s best to just stop trying. They’re not (general rule) social conservatives and that’s OK. But the lesson to be learned from these arguments is the further proof of why SOCIAL issues do matter. At heart, social issues are about a natural moral law, the natural moral law, like any natural law is about truth. When a social conservative sees a politician willing to | Read More »
A SUMMARY OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD’S FRAUDS AND FELONIES IN THE SERVICE OF IDEOLOGY WHY EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD AGREE THAT WE NEED TO DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD – NOW MIKE WALLACE: Do you believe in sin — When I say believe I don’t mean believe in committing sin do you believe there is such a thing as sin? SANGER: I think the greatest sin in the | Read More »
UPDATE: Just after Lila Rose broke the latest PP scandal, I started a diary about PP’s history of abuse and asked for help completing it. Here is the updated diary. It grew – a lot. Some of that is my writing style, I am sure, but I think the nature of Planned Parenthood and the methods they use to escape justice for their actions, requires a detailed historical analyis. I | Read More »
And this is directed at Man of Moeller John Boehner and anybody else the Media cannot avoid giving air too. It’s like 20 minutes since the smoke stopped coming out my nostrils from the media blaming the Tea Party for the acts of a homicidal maniac, and they strike again so repulsively I don’t even have words, and then they do it again! 1. CBS | Read More »
— A liberal will seek to undermine the authority and significance of the Constitution by pointing to the 3/5ths compromise as if the document embraced slavery, a moderate will acknowledge the document’s weakness but maintain its authority and significance on the whole, and a conservative will see that the compromise, as distasteful as the words themselves may be, is responsible for ending slavery in America. | Read More »
Erick took a side today on the CPAC, GOP Proud issue. He didn’t do so until today, because he wanted to give GOP Proud the benefit of the doubt. Certainly an admirable, conservative, and thoughtful approach. The problem is that history should make clear, those who seek to legitimize deviancy do not do so honorably. Ostensibly, they only want equality, fairness, or justice. Truly, they | Read More »
I am trying to craft a timeline of proofs of PP’s most significant wrongdoing to provide others with ammunition so that this latest sin is their last. I just only have so much time, less than I’ve spent already actually. So if you know I am missing anything major, or have other ideas to improve the document, please post a comment. DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD NOW!!! | Read More »
Dear Congressman, I am just a guy from Ohio who thinks you should reconsider running for President. I have three reasons for this, other than the obvious that I think you would make a good president, and that you could win. 1. Right now, you more than anyone else have the qualities to unite the factions necessary for a conservative Republican victory in 2012. 2. | Read More »
As a lawyer who does plaintiffs work, tort reform has never rung true with me, either as something as necessary as people claim it is, or as something that actually produces anywhere near the savings people think it will. Ultimately, I think there are some things that could be tweaked to improve the system including special courts for expert intensive cases (med. Mal., bad drug, etc.), | Read More »
In response to my explanation of why Mitch Daniels cannot be rehabilitated in the eyes of strong pro-lifers, and why he should not be considered for 2012 after commenting that “the next president would need to call a truce on social issues” (and refusing to state whether he would re-instate the Mexico City policy) I was asked here what my list of priorities would be | Read More »
DISCLAIMER: *Some terms in this post are militaristic in nature, words that could be used to describe actual physical battle with soldiers, but can also be used metaphorically in reference to battles that are not actual physical battles, but are merely political battles without the intent of physical harm. Except where the actual US Military is being discussed, these terms should be understood as the | Read More »
Having just finshed “Ron Paul Stands With Totalitarianism” here on Redstate, my rebuttal reached diary size. The premise of that diary was that Ron Paul is a complete and total embarrassment to the party as well as being a crazy totalitarianist becuase he was the only congressman not to vote yea on a resolution to honor Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo for winning the Nobel Peace Prize, thereby apparently | Read More »
Very interesting test ballons out the last few weeks looking to justify a Cable TV fairness doctrine, with a very very false premise. We have had Jon Stewart’s rally for lefties where he purports to decry the excesses of MSNBC just as much as those of FoxNews. We had Keith O’s highly publicized suspension for donating to Democrats, which was of course followed by news of Rupert | Read More »
Koran’s will burn becuase of one man. B. Hussein Obama. It has been 9 years since 9/11. One event 9 years ago that killed over 3000 Americans and did not result in Koran burning. 8 anniversarys of that day did not result in Koran burning. One mosque being built at ground zero that did not result in Koran burning. But, then, one American President defended that Mosque in right and | Read More »
The following is actual correspondence between me and a friend who was going through the Rite of Catholic Initiation for Adults (RCIA) at Xavier College in Cincinnati. Most universities (even Catholic ones) lean left, but I was pretty shocked that this RCIA group was learning “social justice” instead of the doctrines of their faith. I sent this critique to the entire RCIA group. Following | Read More »
It is sometimes fun to watch liberals unravel which I was able to do a bit yesterday reading Tom Friedman’s attempt to resuscitate global warming theory by calling it, “Global Weirding.” http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/17/opinion/17friedman.html While I cannot disagree with the new moniker, he and I have different reasons for our satisfaction with this label. I of course think the futile attempts to justify this | Read More »
