All Eyes on Denver - 02/28/08 06:45 AM
I am seeing articles claiming that one could stick a fork in the Clinton campaign - she's done. I understand the sentiment, but my analysis suggests that the reports of Mrs Clinton's political demise are premature (reference from Mark Twain).
The news media has trumpeted the magnificent accomplishment of Senator Obama … (5 comments)

The Death of Ideas - 02/27/08 03:15 PM
News sources reported the death today of William F Buckley Jr at the age of 82.
I will remember his smile, his wit, his acute mind and his ability to reason and write with a rational structure that defied assault. Buckley could easily be remembered as the godfather of conservative thought. … (14 comments)

Take a break (February) - 02/25/08 04:25 PM
In addition to the political dog and pony shows which seem to occupy much of our time, there was the Annual Westminister Kennel Club show at Madison Square Gardens at which a beagle hound called Uno won best in show honors for this year – frequently reported under the headline “The … (6 comments)

Our October Surprise - a New Iraq - 02/22/08 06:59 AM
The day has arrived when the Democrat and media partisan rhetoric that has been anti-Bush and anti-Iraq for so long may be seen as what it is. The cost has been higher than expected (in lives and dollars) and the way has not been as smooth as we would all have … (13 comments)

What's Needed - 02/16/08 11:29 AM
I continue to speak of Newt Gingrich with his view of history and his vision of the future. I was intensely disappointed when Newt dropped out of the Presidential contests last fall and I look forward to identifying his role in the September convention and beyond. Newt carries some baggage, but … (6 comments)

Fair and Balanced - 02/12/08 03:53 PM
We all know (because we are regular viewers - aren't we) that Fox News Network claims to be the fair and balanced news source. And of course their ever increasing viewership seem to agree. But Newsmax.com reports today a surprising endorsement of the network's "we report - you decide" policies from: Hillary Clinton.
I … (6 comments)

The changing face of Europe - 02/12/08 10:06 AM
Recently an article written by Susan MacAllen was brought to my attention. The article originally appeared on July 23, 2007, on the Family Security Matters website. The article discusses the impact on Denmark of relatively unfettered immigration with particular attention to the increasing Muslim population.
I cannot vouch for the facts … (3 comments)

Happy Birthday, Mr. Lincoln - 02/12/08 08:28 AM
I am reminded by Mara Hawks, AR member of Auburn, Alabama, that it is Abraham Lincoln's birthday <link>.
Those who know me will understand that I take every opportunity to quote Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, in my view one of most profound political statements of history. It is time again.
My thoughts on … (6 comments)

The warnings of History and the Importance of Free Speech - 02/12/08 07:08 AM
One of the offenses charged against Senator John McCain by conservatives is the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform legislation. (The so called Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002) This post is less about Senator McCain than about the attempted infringement of First Amendment rights in the area of political speech - which … (1 comments)

Now there is something you don't see every Day - 02/09/08 03:25 PM
I am on record in a variety of venues in my defense of private ownership of guns for self-defense, collection, hunting or any other legal purpose. I have had to base my arguments on private property rights and a right of self defense because the Supreme Court has never decided what … (18 comments)

Quo Vadis ? Conservatives - 02/09/08 06:51 AM
When I wrote on January 19, 2008, that the CPAC meeting in Washington was the event to watch, I did not realize the total significance that would come out of the meeting. My emphasis was on the future of the conservative cause and the need for immediate political action to fight … (17 comments)

Well it is Super Tsunami Tuesday. I have complained about the long campaign, about some of the candidates and some that didn't make it.

Another Twist in the Road - 02/02/08 09:13 PM
We may have an interesting legal discussion coming up concerning the definition of a natural born citizen of the United States as opposed to a naturalized citizen of the United States.
Section 1 of Article II of the Constitution reads, in part, as follows:
“No person except a natural born … (12 comments)
