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 [...]
Amnesty by Any Other Name Still Screws America
18 May 2007President Bush, along with RINOs Lindsey Graham and John McCain and Democrat Ted Kennedy, have reached a “compromise” for comprehensive immigration reform. That phrase, “comprehensive immigration reform” is code for amnesty. President Bush announced that the plan does not grant amnesty but any bill that allows aliens currently in this country illegally to pay a [...]
FairTax Rally Criticisms
16 May 2007Let me preface this by saying I am not disgruntled. As I mentioned in the previous post, I thoroughly enjoyed the FairTax Rally and I complement the organizers. Having said that, I want to offer constructive criticism so the organizers can improve on their success. There were a number of things that could have easily [...]
SC FairTax Rally Highlights
16 May 2007Yesterday had so much to talk about that it’s difficult to sort it all out. Between the FairTax Rally and the GOP debate, I could write far more than most of you probably want to read. I’ve decided to break it all up into three posts. This post will deal with the FairTax Rally and [...]

Wallis is a liberal who believes in using scripture to support his views. While I have no reason to think Wallis is less than sincere, I also strongly disapprove of his approach to [...]
What Lies Ahead
9 November 2006The elections are over. For politicians it’s time to start working on ’08. But what about the rest of us? What do we do now? ’08 is a long way off. I don’t know about you but I’m not prepared to spend two years in campaign mode. While the ’08 elections are important, there is [...]
A Glimmer of Hope
17 October 2006Over the last several weeks I have struggled with the likely results of the upcoming election. I have endeavored to remain optimistic in the face of what appears to be increasingly bad news for conservatives. Every poll, every news cast, virtually everything you see or hear today indicates that Democrats will take control of the [...]
