Thompson in South Carolina
27 June 2007I has the privilege today of attending a luncheon sponsored by the South Carolina Republican Convention. The luncheon was held in Columbia and the keynote speaker was Fred Dalton Thompson. When the opportunity to go to this presented itself, there was no chance I was going to pass it up. Thompson spoke for about 25 [...]
Under the Bill
26 June 2007If I hear the phrase “under the bill” one more time regarding “comprehensive immigration reform” I think I will throw up. I was listening to Chertoff on Cavuto this afternoon and every time Cavuto brought up conservative objections, Chertoff’s response was “under the bill…” I’m convinced they are being intentionally obtuse. We’ve repeated over and [...]
Views on Mike Huckabee
22 June 2007I had the opportunity to be at a Mike Huckabee campaign stop. Governor Huckabee came to Charleston Bagel in Mt. Pleasant, SC and spoke to a small crowd of maybe 40-50 people and he was, in my view, very effective. The campaign stop was sponsored by South Carolina FairTax. The FairTax organization does not endorse [...]
Universitas Veritas Blog
21 June 2007Regular readers of this blog are aware of the sometime struggle I’ve had trying to balance politics and my Christian outlook or worldview. I’ve at times tried to make this blog something it never was intended to be and the result was always that I came right back to pure politics. My solution comes in [...]
Blog Move Complete
17 June 2007The blog move has been successfully completed. All files appear to be working properly, the database pulls up all my old posts and I can find nothing misbehaving. All seems well. So, I’ve gone ahead and pointed www.rongoodwyne.com back here to www.ronsmusings.com. That allowed me to make corrections to my blog email MX record. The [...]
Blog Move Update
16 June 2007It appears the blog is moved. As far as I can tell at this moment, everything has been moved over and works. I’ll wait until probably this evening before I forward www.rongoodwyne.com here. In the mean time, if you go to www.rongoodwyne.com, you will not be able to post comments. That keeps me from having [...]
Hosting Change This Weekend
15 June 2007My hosting account expires in less than a month and I’ve been looking forward to it. I’ve been less than thrilled with my current host so I’ve just been waiting to make a change. Now, I discover my blog email has, apparently, been down for 3 days. Turns out my current host screwed up the [...]
10,000 Visitors
13 June 2007It has been just about a year since I started this blog and it has taken that long to reach 10,000 visitors. I imagine that mark will be reached sometime Thursday. I didn’t want to let this milestone pass without comment. So let me take this opportunity to thank all of you who read Ron’s [...]
Immigration Reform
13 June 2007What is the deal with immigration reform? If you have followed the debate and the actions in the Senate you may have wondered what is going on. Democrats clearly want immigration reform, yet Harry Reid pulled it from consideration after two unsuccessful attempts at cloture. He could have kept the debate going at least until [...]
Listen to Fred
9 June 2007With all the buzz about a possible Thompson candidacy, I’m surprised that I there’s not more reference to The Fred Thompson Report on ABC Radio. I discovered the podcast maybe a month ago and it had been fantastic! If you want a daily taste of Fred and how he can turn a phrase and make [...]
