Okay, so it hasn’t actually happened…yet. But, seriously, a city councilman in Berkeley, CA (who also happens to be a retired nuclear scientist and futurist??… whatever that is) — Gordon Wozniak — is actually proposing an email tax. An email tax! But wait until you hear what prompted the councilman to suggest such a desperate measure. It seems the waning fortunes of the United States | Read More »
Enough is being said about the Supreme Court cases being heard this week. Erick’s piece this morning along with Dana Loesch’s diary cover the essentials of the matter from a conservative point of view. I am preparing myself for the worst as I no longer trust nor regard our Supreme Court with esteem. Ever since the more than bizarre ruling on Obamacare — and seeing | Read More »
Many of us here at RedState spend a lot of time discussing the various ways the church has lost its influence and failed to step up to the plate in the various culture wars. Most of us know the truth about the role the Bible played in our founding documents — especially in the formation of our legal system. In a nut shell, for federal | Read More »
Saturday, Mar.23, 2013 9:22 PST: Added a link in the third paragraph related to ecoli-spreading plastic bags. *** Had a hard time coming up with a theme for today’s open thread, so I have been scouring the net for interesting tidbits. Found this one on the mini-war taking place in California over the evil existence of plastic bags. Seems the city council of a small | Read More »
The Pacific Justice Institute is working behind the scenes to expose the outrageous perversion of justice taking place as the federal government turns against the very citizens they are representing. Citizens who are paying their salaries. The following is the opening statement for the project dubbed, “No Way DOJ,” explaining to Americans — who frequently feel broadsided by the travesties of justice occurring daily at | Read More »
Finally, several months into his second term, President Obama is visiting Israel. One never knows exactly what he may do, so Obama’s actions will be watched closely by many. Hopefully, he will refrain from insulting and offending Israelis and, especially, Prime Minister Netanyahu. Scripture tells us to: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Psalm 122:6 For those who are | Read More »
Watching Chris Wallace’s Fox News Sunday show yesterday morning was a dismal experience. If you can get through the hulu commercials, it is well worth your time to watch if you missed it. Especially, the second section (starting at 15:30 minutes in). Wallace juxtaposed Matt Kibbe — founder of Freedom Works and a strong Tea Party conservative — against Steve LaTourette — former congressman, founder | Read More »
I was surprised to hear Senator McCain on the Neil Cavuto Show yesterday apologize for calling Senators Cruz and Paul “wacko birds.” In case you missed it: Guess McCain is begrudgingly recognizing that publicly berating colleagues who represent the change the base is seeking was not a smart move. But then, life’s not fair. The Watercooler is always an open thread.
I’m running really late this morning, so, in order to get an open thread up, I will keep this really brief for now and may come back to develop this theme throughout the day. I have gone through very painful experiences in my life. Ones that seemed pointless and designed for maximum pain and suffering. At the time, they made no sense and I could | Read More »
I fished around and found some beautiful versions of Ave Maria to help our Catholic brothers and sisters celebrate their new Pope. Enjoy. From the Celtic Woman: And for pure opera lovers: An excerpt from one of Jesus’ most beautiful prayers: I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one — I in them and | Read More »
