REFLECTIONS

The young Prince was invited to play the piano at his teacher’s church service.   During the service the minister chose to preach the word of Kos instead of the word of God.  He denounced the Iraqi war, bravely going over the cliff with the rest of the lemmings.   He praised the first President Bush for [...]

Withdrawal A close friend – a leading expert on terrorists groups world-wide – recently remarked, concerning the issue of withdrawal of American forces from Iraq, that – [regardless of what success we might have against al-Qa'ida forces in Iraq] our forces [there] cannot remain in place indefinitely. I believe though that – unwittingly – my [...]

I have only lived in one “progressive” town and that was Austin, Texas. Otherwise, I have always lived in Republican communities: Wauwatosa, Wisc. for my youth, Town of Herman for my college years, Pewaukee, Wisc. for my young adulthood, and now Watertown, Wisc. No F.B.I. visits to uncover wrong doings among the elected officials etc. [...]

I won’t be blogging much this week.  We have a host of activities planned in San Diego, so I won’t have much of a chance.  San Diego is like that, beautiful, fun and thouroughly exhausting.   As a child growing up here we couldn’t afford the Museums, Sea World the Zoos, and the far too many [...]

     In the early 1990s,the members of Townhall BBS and Townhall CompuServe would meet occasionally in regional “Town Hall Gatherings.” In 2006, townhall.com attempted through meetup.com and TownSquares to re-create these gatherings. Despite the abandonment by townhall.com the gatherings still exists. The Dane County Townhall August MeetupWhen: Tuesday, August 7 at 7:00PM.Where: Memorial Union of [...]

It took the Conservative Movement nearly a quarter of a century to talk forlornly of a reversal of fortune. The Liberals are already whining after only eight months in power. Shawn Macomber has been blogging for the AmSpecBlog this weekend at the YearlyKos convention in Chicago. The radical left-wing according to him are dismayed at [...]

I really, really, really, hate to say it, but Guiliani sounds good.  He sounds decisive and effective.   I don’t trust him, I think if there weren’t a war going on he would be unacceptable.  But in these debates he comes off as a leader, the only one who does come off as a leader.   If [...]

Ron Paul promises “open government”  the last Presidential candidate I remember saying that was Jimmy Carter.   Carter of course has been so open in revealing that his anti-Israel screeds are being paid for by Saudi money.   Ron Paul would be an unqualified disaster, what is Derbyshire thinking?

Tancredo’s vow to get rid of Roe V Wade gets the longest applausse.  Did you hear that Guiliani?

I am so loving Tom Tancredo “the income tax gives the government too much power.”   Course I loved Pierre Du Pont, Phil Graham, Alan Keyes.  Being my beloved in the primaries is the kiss of death.

Flat tax NOW!   Wow Rommney is really dodging this one, we need more study, that is politician for “not going to do a darn thing.”

Great job on Guiliani’s part explaining tax cuts means more revenues.   Went right over the liberals head of course.  I tried explaining that to a liberal I know several times, she just never got it. Excellent job by McCain and Romney explaining that we have the money right now we just are wasting it.

Tom Tancredo doesn’t have a chance but he is by far the most fun to hear.  “When the State Department criticizes me then I know I am saying the right thing.”  Go Tom!

My last post was so filled with vitriol I realize there are some who could use it as exhibit A that conservatives hate the poor.  Actually if you pay attention it is not the poor I am decrying but the vast government poverty conspiracy.   I despise not the needy, but the bureaucrats who make a [...]

While contemplating the over stretch of government a commercial came on my radio that was one of those oh, too perfect moments.  It was a commercial for food stamps.  Yes you heard right, Food Stamps.  Yes here in California not only do we tax payers have to pay for other people’s food and welfare, we [...]

The bridge collapse in Minneapolis has the usual suspects issue the same old clarion call for more government.    The only solution a great portion of our country can think for anything is make the government bigger.   The irony of course is that building roads and bridges is one of the few things the government is [...]

I was reading Mona Charen’s review of “The Dangerous Book for Boys” to my husband when the young Prince chimed in that he must have that book.  I replied that what he needed was a book how about to be a less dangerous boy.  Of course I still haven’t recovered from the time the Prince tried [...]
