Santorum Facing the Music?
23 September 2006Conservative Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum is looking more and more like a lame duck these days. The latest Gallop pole has Democrat Bob Casey leading by 18 points. Real Clear Politics points out the disappointing state polling in the last election but even if they are off by 10 points, that still leaves Santorum with [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Ambulance Chasers
6 September 2006I’ve long been a proponent of tort reform. The need is obvious. Trial lawyers are bankrupting this country and it’s time to put a stop to it.

Stems Cells Without Killing a Fetus?
2 September 2006If you followed the news the last week you doubtless saw the headlines that scientists has successfully created fetal stem lines with destroying a fetus. That’s what they said.

McCain Feingold Revisited
11 August 2006Back in 2004 I wrote a piece on campaign finance reform that rightly pointed out the unconstitutionality and hypocrisy of that legislation. It is a well documented piece and worth reading again. Now that we are approaching another election season, the problems and conflicts that legislation creates are before us once again. Well blogger Kim [...]
The High Cost of Freedom
27 July 2006Thomas Jefferson said, “”The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” Jefferson understood what many Americans and most of the rest of the western world have forgotten or never knew: Freedom is not free. New York Post columnist John Podhoretz had an excellent piece on [...]
Fetal Stem Cell Research
18 July 2006Congress is set to pass, and President Bush is threatening to veto, H.R. 810, the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005, which “…sanctions federal funding of research involving embryonic stem cells “harvested” from embryos stored in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics.” Well meaning individuals on both sides of the aisle are denouncing the president for [...]
Frisch Fried
11 July 2006Being new to the blogosphere I thought it a good idea to spend some quality time on some other conservative blogs. I could get a sense of what others are doing, perhaps get some advise on issues like platform, comments, trackbacks, etc. and generally improve my ability to pursue blogging. I was not, however, prepared [...]
Some Call it Treason
28 June 2006Background Since the revelations in the New York Times last week concerning ongoing government work to track terrorist financial dealings through international banks there have been all manner of arguments for and against the Times. On the left the argument is that the Times is just doing its job by giving the American people whatever [...]
