I am disappointed that the Fourth of July week came and went without an announcement from Fred Thompson that he has, indeed, entered the race to become the next president. Fred’s still testing the water. In the Rasmussen poll, Fred already is leading the entire GOP field as an “unannounced” candidate.
Come on in, Fred! The water’s fine. If it gets much warmer, you are not going to be able to stand it. Continue reading “Come on in, Fred, The water’s fine”
Those hellbent on ramming a hugely unpopular amnesty bill down our throats have one question that stops most of their otherwise articulate constituents in their tracts:
And what would you do with the 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants now living in this country?
The image they want brought to mind is one of raids in the middle of the night – men and women driven from their homes at bayonet point, sleeping children snatched from their beds. Continue reading “What to do with 12-20 million Illegals”
Don’t call the immigration bill before the United States Senate an “amnesty bill.” That gives the marauders masquerading as legislators an excuse to call you a “mean-spirited racist.”When you use the word “amnesty,” they look down their out-of-joint noses at you and treat your objection as a simple difference of opinion (their’s being infinitely superior). Continue reading “Don’t call it Amnesty!”
I accidentally tuned into a rerun on CNN of a forum on religion, faith and politics where the Democrats’ leading presidential candidates – Clinton, Obama and Edwards – were given a chance to strut their stuff. Continue reading “Dems get Religion”
It appears the federal grant program that made abstinence education available to public schools will be allowed to expire at the end of this month, despite the fact these programs have helped cut the rate of teen sexual activity, teen pregnancy and abortion. Continue reading “Why Abstinence Education Is about to Go Away”
We dodged a bullet when the Senate went home for the Memorial Day recess without passing the immigration bill that would grant amnesty to millions of people who have come here illegally and open the floodgates for another barrage of so-called “temporary” guest workers. Continue reading “Don’t You Dare!”
The compromise immigration bill brokered by Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl that would grant amnesty to millions of people now living in our country illegally has left most Americans feeling powerless. However, there is one bright light in the blackness presently covering the immigration abyss. Continue reading “A modern-day Paul Revere”
After watching the first presidential debate, I had this sinking feeling. It was too pathetic for comedy and too trivial for tragedy. There were 10 candidates on stage, but the pundits told us that it was all about the big three: Giuliani, McCain and Romney. Well, the big three left a lot to be desired.

Last week, Jessica Lynch, America’s media sweetheart in 2003, testified before Henry Waxman’s House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform beside Kevin Tillman, whose brother, Pat, was killed in a friendly fire incident in Afghanistan. This is the first time the former POW has made a major public appearance in three and a half years, and the media yawned.Why did the press give the West Virginia beauty the cold shoulder this time around? Continue reading “Why the Media Shunned Jessica Lynch”
Justice Anthony Kennedy did the unthinkable when writing the majority opinion for Gonzales v. Carhart, the 5-4 Supreme Court decision that upheld the federal partial-birth abortion ban. He described this procedure with painstaking detail, exposing this barbaric practice to the harsh light of day. Furthermore, he referred to the subject targeted for destruction as an “infant,” not a “fetus.” Continue reading “Can’t We Agree This Is Reprehensible?”
