The Christine O’Donnell stories have gotten me thinking about a vexing issue that’s been bugging me for some time. Ask any Christian about their beliefs and the word “faith” will materialize almost immediately. It’s my view that it does so mainly because it’s the only possible way most supporters have of trying to validate their […]
The GOP unveiled their version of the 1994 Contract With America and it’s a real thing of wonder at 21 pages. The highlights all pretty much reek of hypocrisy: They want to cut the deficit but meanwhile refuse to let the tax cuts for those making over $250,000 a year expire. This alone shows that […]
It seems that at least once every day, and often several times a day, Sean Hannity offers up a litany of anecdotes and “facts” about Ronald Reagan. The key point to these references seems to be to re-imagine the former President. Getting listeners to view Reagan as the perfect conservative model seems to be a […]
Tonight on CNN I noticed a conservative pundit toss out the comment regarding Social Security that most Americans don’t believe Social Security will be there for them and thus it’s time to consider scrapping it entirely. I found it interesting that he so carefully chose those words. The fact of the matter is that even […]
So Apple acknowledged the problem with their iPhone 4 this week regarding the now-infamous “death grip” and its impact on reception. The company put out a letter on its website to its users and among the comments is this gem: We sometimes display 4 bars when we should be displaying as few as 2 bars. […]
This morning on the way into my office I was listening to Glenn Beck‘s radio show (I know, I can’t help myself in the same way I watch auto racing and feel excited when there’s a major wreck). He was talking about some guy from the Woodrow Wilson administration by the name of Colonel House. […]
On April 10th, 1951 then President Harry S. Truman issued the order to relieve legendary General Douglas MacArthur as Supreme Commander in charge of our war efforts in Korea. The comments that did him in were as follows: “It seems strangely difficult for some to realize that here in Asia is where the Communist conspirators […]
This morning I caught this interesting article and thought it worth sharing and commenting on. The article and the included picture point out that all of the major oil companies doing offshore drilling each have nearly identical Gulf of Mexico spill response plans. Look closely at these covers from five “independent” oil companies. Yes they’re […]
The disaster in the gulf oil leak is an absolutely perfect example of everything that’s wrong with the viewpoint of those that unfettered capitalism is the best path. Yes, the government is doing a horrible job of addressing the situation and yes, I suspect we’ll find that they failed more than once with regard to […]
Last night on The Daily Show Jon Stewart‘s interview segment was with noted conservative author Ken Blackwell. Blackwell was there, quite amazingly and to his credit, to promote his book, Blueprint: Obama’s Plan to Subvert the Constitution and Build an Imperial Presidency. The segment that aired to the TV viewers was almost unremarkable. However, Stewart […]
Last night I watched a bit of Glenn Beck‘s show on Fox News and it’s really devolved into a bigger joke than it ever was before. His show really should move to the TBN channel (Trinity Broadcasting Network) to run alongside all the other evangelical shows there. His show is virtually indistinguishable from any one […]
Driving home early this morning from my weekly excursion to Penn Gamers and the radio is on 1210. It’s a replay of the Michael Smerconish program. After a few minutes of talk (I find the guy one of the few conservatives on this station that I like) the show breaks for a commercial and the […]
