REFLECTIONS

Before the 2000 elections one time TH member Miss Ann Thrope was bemused by a conversation she had with a co-worker.  He agreed with the GOP about taxes, government spending, all the usual fiscal conservative issues.  But he wouldn’t vote for the GOP ever because he said they were “obsessed” with abortion.  He said he [...]

American Heritage reviews Joseph Ellis book on the Founding Fathers. John Adams, George Washington, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, American Revolution, Valley Forge, Founding Fathers. This statement in the review particularly caught my eye. argument can be said to weave together the separate pieces of American Creation, it is that the founding generation had five central [...]

After their last “debate,” the heir to the Clinton dynasty N.Y. Senator Hillary Clinton-Rodham was challenged on her stock answers to any question. In addition, she has been accused of planting questioners in the crowd to ask what she has prepared to answer anybody ahead of time. The silly, political season has begun. While many [...]

Generalismo Hugo Chávez of Venezuela at the XVII Spanish American Conference in Saniago, Chile, kept calling the former President of Spain a fascist. José María Aznar was the president who supported the American President George Bush for the Iraq battle in this world war. According to foreign affairs minister of Chile, Alejandro Foxley, Chávez was [...]

So the consensus seems to be developing that the Fred Thompson candidacy is not taking off because he waited to long to get in the race.  Just as a I pointed out in my keen analysis comparing Senator Thompson to that overrated hack figure skater Irinia Slutskaya.  So clearly I have the edge on choosing [...]

A Marine awarded the Bronze Star explains the war better than any GOP candidate running for president. I am fighting so my son won’t have to go finish the job,” he said. “I hope that when he is 26, he is not fighting the same enemy.”  http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20071110/news_1n10marine.html For my son and for yours Sgt.  thank [...]

In Friday issue of the Watertown Daily Times, Teresa Stowell wrote on the Veteran [who] skied through the hills of Germany” during World War II. “World War II veteran Lester Reichert, of Johnson Creek, is pictured holding a photograph of the ski patrol he was a member of. Reichert is the fourth skier from the [...]

It’s that time of the year, when the MSM decides to recognize those who are risking their lives for us. Then they can spend the rest of the year mocking their mission. Here is a front page story in today’s San Diego Union about Marine Gunnery Sgt. Nick Popaditch and how he earned the Silver [...]

The sad truth is that – the heartfelt, persistent and generally sensible efforts of those who support the efforts of American troops in Iraq cannot ultimately succeed if they – those efforts – are generally portrayed by the main-stream media as the rantings of a deluded fringe, the sincere strivings of a misguided minority, or, [...]

I was attempting to figure out the true inflation rate by my going to the federal reserve website for their stats. SIGH! It is totally confusing to read thus I understand why reporters rely on the consumer price index (measures the ratio businesses raise their prices.) Instead I went over to Rightwingsparkle blog and I [...]

I visited Mike Huckabee‘s website today. For me, he comes the closest to Alan Keyes in views, however I saw Huckabee has fallen for the sloppy verbiage of modern politics. One of his issues is called the “Veterans’ Bill Of Rights.” There is one Bill of Rights! That bill are eleven articles of amendments modifying [...]

So the GOP did something I didn’t think they had the nerve to do.  They called the Dems bluff and forced the Cheney impeachment bill into committee.   It was brilliant.  If the Dems want to play to their wacko base, let em play loud and clear where everyone can hear them.  And like cockroaches they [...]

THPrincess commented, “Is Cuba Libre a cigar? I am answering here instead in the comment area because other readers may be wondering about this reference. Before the communist revolution of 1959, foreigners such as Americans like the newspaperman Ernest Hemingway made Cuba the sun and sin capital of the world. Cuba has never really been [...]

Week after week I have watched Marie Osmond stay on Dancing With The Stars while superior dancers leave.  She has never even been in the bottom two despite often being picked dead last by the judges.  Last night it finally dawned on me.  Every Mormon in America is phoning in votes for Marie, that’s a powerful [...]

Rep. Dennis Kucinich has been eliminated as a suspect. While co-42nd.-president/Senator Hillary Clinton-Rodham was also considered a person of interest in this sighting when it was “falsely” leaked about TOWN HALL weblog having a copy of her believed-controversial and self-banned, collegian senior-thesis — she was dropped. Rumors of a fly-over by ace navy-pilot/Senator John McCain [...]

Have you noticed the fad of wearing wrist-bands with statments of political or promotional interests?1 Yesterday, the Sun-Sentinel has reported on the fad among Cuban youths. They have taken to wearing white wrist-bands with the word “CAMBIO” upon it. Cambio is change in Spanish.The Cuban youths are hitting a nerve on that communist island in [...]
