More Democrat Demagoguery
20 September 2006It seems Dems never miss a chance for political gain by mis-characterizing what a Republican said. In the latest case the Republican was Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss. What he’s being castigated for was a remark he made in a closed door session of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the topic was intelligence in the [...]
Election Outlook
20 September 2006With seven weeks to go until election day the outlook is changing. A month ago the general wisdom was that Democrats were poised to retake the House and maybe even pull off a coup in the Senate. What a difference a month makes! So what events have worked to change the dynamics of the election [...]
Busy Week
19 September 2006This has been a busy week so far. I’m on th road and haven’t had time to do much on the computer at all, much less blog. I’ll be returning home on Thursday. For tonight I just want to mention a patriot and a hero that I met today. His name is Justin and he’s [...]
Islamic Bluster
16 September 2006Why is it that Islamic cleric and Imams can say pretty much anything about any religion or nation and they are never called to account for it. But let anyone say anything about Islam and all hell breaks loose? Speaking at an academic conference in Germany the Pope quoted from 14th century Byzantine Emperor Manuel [...]
Lindsey Graham is Toast in 2008
14 September 2006I live in South Carolina and four years ago I was an active campaigner for Lindsey Graham. I made phone calls, walked precincts, went to campaign events, put out campaign signs and generally spent my spare time working to elect Lindsey Graham. There are few things in my life that I regret more. Lindsey Graham [...]

The Moral Emptiness of the Left
13 September 2006I just read what was, perhaps, the best article I’ve ever read. It was written by James Lewis at The American Thinker and I wish I’d written it. It embodies what I have been thinking and writing in my head for some time. Since I can’t improve on Lewis’ work I’ll just let him speak [...]
Another RINO Holds On
13 September 2006While the Republican leadership wasn’t too happy with Katherine Harris’ win, they are pretty happy with Chafee’s. This race was similar to Harris’ in that the Republican leadership pulled out all the stops to support the least conservative candidate. In both cases they believed that the more conservative candidate could not win in November. In [...]
Katherine Harris Wins
12 September 2006Six months ago no one gave Katherine Harris any chance at all to win the Republican nomination for Senate in Florida, challenging incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson. The Florida Republican party and the national Republican party both tried to get Harris to quit. When she refused to do so they recruited candidates to run against her. [...]
Commemorating 9/11
11 September 2006I’ve given a lot of thought to what I should write to commemorate 9/11. Many ideas have come and gone, all discarded because they didn’t fit my idea of a proper 9/11 remembrance. I’ve endeavored to avoid utterly politicising this day, hard as that is. In the days ahead I will have much to say [...]
