Not Even Trying to Hide It
Looks like the folks over at the Huffington Post are having a mass collective orgasm over Obama’s recent race speech. They just can’t get enough of this guy. Love at first sight? A match made in heaven? You decide.
Let’s Face It, He’s a Political Phenom
In 2004, I watched Barack Obama give the keynote speech (part 1 | part 2) at the Democratic National Convention. I told my mom, and later I mentioned it to Meredith (who I had just started dating), that he would be the next President of the United States.
Little did I know that he would […]
Income Taxes …
… are my single largest monthly expense. Literally, 1 out 6 working hours are done in order to pay the government.
When are we going to wake up and realize that income taxes don’t just suck, they are a form of modern citizen slavery! But instead of working a plantation at the tip of a whip, […]
Fred Thompson Pulls Out…
It seems that Fred Thompson has pulled out of the Presidential race. Being that he is the closest thing to a conservative in the 2008 race (other than Ron Paul), this is a blow to the future of the Republican party.
Overheard …
As promised, I wanted to share some funny things I overheard at the meeting for Ron Paul at BJU.
First of all, let me just say that I am fully aware that the environment at BJU is not one that would be obviously welcoming to a candidate like Ron Paul. His position of liberty on […]
My Hero and a Rant
Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to meet my hero, although I am a recent convert.
Meredith, one of my other heroes, called me early yesterday and let me know that she had received an email from Bob Jones University letting students know that Dr. Ron Paul would be speaking and answering some questions on campus that […]
Iowa: Sad Commentary on American Persuasion
Although I didn’t stay up last night looking for the answer to the million dollar question, I arose this morning eagerly awaiting the breakdown of the results from the morning pundits.
The first of the shows that I ran across was Morning Joe (with Joe Scarborough). Joe and the gang were weighing in on the results […]
Freedom or Security? If You Had to Choose…
This afternoon, I was watching the Senate debate FISA on CSPAN (don’t laugh, it was pretty interesting).
Several senators on both sides of the aisle were defending the Bush administrations’ actions during the aftermath of 9/11. I was actually quite shocked to see democrats actually rationalizing some of the measures taken in the name of security.
Senator […]
OK, Be Honest … Does This Belong in Our Law Books?
H.R. 847 has apparently passed the House of Representatives and is on its way to the Senate.
Just take a look at this excerpt from the text of the resolution:
Resolved, That the House of Representatives–
(1) recognizes the Christian faith as one of the great religions of the world;
(2) expresses continued support for Christians in the United […]
Public Funding for FireFighters Drops, Sparks Surge in Private Sector
The Raw Story reports:
Today, a decline in public funding for firefighting services has sparked explosive growth in the private sector. The world’s largest insurance company – American Insurance Group – now has “Wildfire Protection Units” in 150 US zip codes.
In my humble opinion, this is the triumph of the American ideal. It makes perfect sense […]
