the TOWN HALL weblog

Sorry, Burkean Mama, for my AWOL this past weekend. I was tweeting and texting in here, but that isn’t the same as a post. Friday I saw the movie, An American Carol, with my local Town Hall gathering group which is located in Madtown, WI. Most of the weekend I was fixing up my Blackberry [...]

Today is the 232nd year when a new race of people called Americans proclaimed liberty and justice for all. For all who come to these shores honestly to seek a better Life, Liberty, and their pursuit of happiness.

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 [...]

A good friend, who is thirty-something and a multi-passported foreigner, told me yesterday history and geography are boring. The former would be better served by watching hollywood movies and, the. latter one should travel independently in order to learn about others.
Last [...]

In this ‘modern’ age we complain of division among us. It has been our humanly lot to empathize the audacity of hope. As if without group-think for solving problems it just time-wasting insolence. For many of us we begin the celebration of how individuals can put their hopes into actions with bold belief they [...]

B. Obama gave a speech today. I shall touch on only one line. A line which speaks volumes of his misunderstandings of America. We heard that a “segregation was the law of the land” at one time. When?
Mr. Obama, have you read Robert Caro’s ‘Master of the Senate?’ It is about L.B. Johnson’s attempt as [...]

If Florida and Michigan get to re-do their [...]

On WLW 700 out of Cincinnati, Ohio this morning (XM 173) it was heard:
Gary Jeff Walker saying why he can’t support Obama, “he’s a socialist bordering on communist.”

Five Conservatives of the Dane County Town Hall converse through various Internet related communications last night. Although there were some problems their first attempt had shown it was possible to hold meetings off-site. The Five used a combination of text-messaging, instant messaging (aim, msn, gmail, and yahoo), and their private Yahoo! Group called ‘Madison Townhall’ [...]

Republicans in the New York legislature will impeach their Governor (fondly know as Client Number 9) if he doesn’t resign soon. Will Democrats ask Sen. J. McCain to call off his party in New York
because ‘hounding’ a Democrat from public office for purely a private matter isn’t the politics McCain allows fellow Republicans to [...]

Wasn’t the Governor of New York State just padding his political-resume so that Mrs. Bill Clinton would take him as her running mate and friend to the first ‘gentleman?’

I address this to Rush Limbaugh but it is expressed to all talking-heads who wish Republicans to waste their votes by voting for Mrs. Bill Clinton because they want to keep Democrats in-fighting through their nominating-convention. What are you all thinking?
We want those Clintons out NOW. Why take a chance on the general election [...]

Lord, May William F. Buckley, jr. have a quick repose to your side. Lord hear our prayers for this great writer and thinker of the 20th Century. We pray to the Lord. Amen.

Or just about luke-warm, but passionate statements of substance-less popular wishfullness for hope?
We now know Mccain shan’t challenge Barry Hussein Obama on the issues. He will challenge anybody to play nice a la Bob Dole except to any Conservatives who will vote and support him. I have listened to Bill Cunningham; his Ohion radio show [...]

This past year I have subscribed to several of the presidential candidates website in order to be to blog about them. Just a few moments ago Mike
Huckaberry sent an e-mail asking for [...]
