Friday, November 11th, 2005

I once read a story in Reader’s Digest about a soldier who had served in Viet Nam and was wounded terribly.

President Bush was in Pennsylvania today and gave a speech which laid waste to Democratic claims of doctored intelligence prior to the start of the War in Iraq: And our debate at home must also be fair-minded. One of the hallmarks of a free society and what makes our country strong is that our political [...]

Friday, November 11th, 2005

If you’ve read this blog for any length of time, you know that I generally support Wal-Mart based upon their anti-union stance. Well, this week the retail giant did something stupid and got called on it by the New York-based Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights: A Catholic advocacy group has launched a national [...]

Streisand: Impeach Bush Now

Thursday, November 10th, 2005

Babs is off of her medicine again: If there was ever a time in history to impeach a President of the United States, it would be now. In my opinion, it is two years too late. We should have done this before the election to spare the country the misjudgment, the incompetence and the malfeasance [...]

San Francisco Rejects Constitution

Wednesday, November 9th, 2005

It seems that no one in San Francisco is intelligent enough to understand how the U.S. Constitution works: SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Voters in famously liberal San Francisco overwhelmingly approved measures banning handguns and encouraging schools to keep military recruiters off campus, according to election results on Wednesday.

Why Celebrities Are Not Consulted Regarding World Affairs

Monday, November 7th, 2005

It seems that Jennifer Aniston has seven things she’d rather talk about than her problems with Bradd Pitt: 6. The state of the world. How about that indictment?! And why did it take so long to respond to the crisis in New Orleans? Everything is imploding. It all seems to lead back to our dear [...]

Friday, November 4th, 2005

Finally! Some common sense has somehow found its way into Washington, DC: House Republicans are looking closely at ending birthright citizenship and building a barrier along the entire U.S.-Mexico border as they search for solutions to illegal immigration.

Democrats: Racism OK If it is Against Republicans

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005
