REFLECTIONS

Czech President Vaclav Klaus articulated his skepticism of global warming at the National Press Club. I found the reaction of the journalists to be most instructive, their expressions were grim. It pained them to hear a global warming skeptic. I happen to agree with Klaus that AGW is a pernicious ideology similar to communist totalitarianism. [...]

Fr. Pfleger had a chance to take the high road when speaking to a Protestant faith tradition (it is a part of the United Church of Christ) that Obama is presumedly a member (I have my doubt he actually attended regularly; I mean he can’t hang out night with the Daily Machine on Saturday night [...]

While Wisconsians do not observe any State holidays except those the federal union proclaims for us, I wish to make note of this day. It is the one hundred and sixtieth year since the Congress had approved our State to be equal to the original thirteen. Of a most important note Wisconsin came in as [...]

Instapundit links to this excellent post pointing out that conservatives who think 4 years of Obama will be magically fixed by the next Reagan must be smoking the same dope that Obama so “enthusiastically” used in college.   http://rachellucas.com/index.php/2008/05/27/your-next-president-is-not-a-smart-man/    For one thing we still haven’t recovered from what Carter did to this country.  Carter welcomed the Ayatollah to [...]

Thanks to RWWOOD for the idea when he wondered today on our instant messenger how he can get into this carbon credit racket. Well, here it is: Shopping for offsets can be confusing. If you’re not an expert, it can be hard to tell how much pollution is really being reduced, removed, or who received [...]

Thanks to RMHartman for his I see dead people post. I have added “Obamism” as a tag to it. So keep an eye out for B. H. Obama’s (BHO or BO if you’re near him) mistakes. Hear him do his version of Bush41′s “read my lips:”Yes, We can

I just read this on powerlineblog.com. Obama gave a Memorial Day speech, and began: On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong. My first reaction was “just how many [...]

In 1976 after his defeat for the Republican nomination to President G. Ford, Governor Reagan converted his campaign from “Citizens for Reagan” into “Citizens for the Republic.” It mission was to bring Republican victory. It succeeded in 1980. I got an e-mail today from Governor Huchabee who formed a similar committee: HuckPac. The beginning of [...]

Our Tonic Water provided the link to the flash player/videos of the speakers the recent National Rife Association meeting. To find John McCain and other speakers look on the right hand side and click on “browse archives.” Then, click on “Videos.” You will need Flash 9 player on your desktop/laptop. (smart phones are excluded.)

It is Memorial Day weekend you have three days to honor those who sacrifice for your safety and freedom.  So get out your Snoopy stationery that Grandma gave you 20 years ago and you never used and write a thank you note to a service member.  Say thank you for your service, say you appreciate their sacrifice [...]

For years I have been wanting to write about how my generation of women have been lied to about the value of motherhood. Today the Corner http://corner.nationalreview.com/ linked to this amazing essay which says much that I want to say, better than I could. Read it and if you know a young woman give it [...]

Did you punished the Republicans in 2006 election by voting to give the Democrats the control of Congress? You gave control to the socialists. Rep. M. Waters (D. Calf.) gave her political party’s game-plan away. It is about nationalization or socializing (socialism) of the United States. See the FoxNews video at Flopping Aces and Hot [...]

National Review Corner mentioned the Washington Post” suggesting that Obama would appoint her to the Supreme Court. Rich Lowry blogged of RE: Hillary for SCOTUS, “There’s precedent for a president putting an intra-party rival on the court—Lincoln-Chase.”

I would cheerfully support a John McCain-Kay Bailey Hutchinson ticket! My last vote as a Texan was for Kay Bailey Hutchinson in the special election to rid us of Ma Richardson’s appointment of Krueger. While I didn’t vote for her in the Republican primary for I voted for the more conservative Rep. Joe Barton, I [...]

Just about anything said against Obama gets cast as being due to his race. Do we really want to have, for the next four years, a President who may not be openly criticized?

Pardon my French, it just amazes me that everything that is wrong with Democrats now was wrong with them more than a century ago and they still keep getting away with it.  A commentator at Gateway Pundit, linked to this fascinating history lesson about the Democrats 64 convention, 1864 Convention.   http://www.sonofthesouth.net/democratic-party-platform.htm   Even then the Democrats [...]
