townhallcom: "Don't just do something - stand There" - 11/19/08 08:16 AM
I could become very concerned as I read the media reports that President-Elect Obama is a reincarnation of Lincoln or the second coming of a political messiah. OK - the election is over and your guy won. I get that. But how about letting the man take office and actually do … (4 comments)

townhallcom: And now... What ? - 11/09/08 04:37 AM
Let's get one thing straight at the beginning. The election is over. Barack Obama is the President-Elect. And I accept him as my President for the next four years. I wish him well.
That said, I may, from time to time, find it necessary to offer some constructive advice or criticism … (5 comments)

townhallcom: An Endorsement you can believe In - 10/27/08 04:02 PM
I found last weeks Charles Krauthammer article to be a strong, even moving endorsement of John McCain.
It has been frustrating to listen to the Obama campaign complain of the negative attacks on their candidate while, from this observer's perspective, the Obama campaign has been the leader in untrue and negative … (6 comments)

townhallcom: Telling Truth to the Public - 10/27/08 06:12 AM
One of the frustrations of trying to communicate ideas in the highly charged atmosphere of this years election is that neither side even sees the existence of the other side of the argument. It is actually a good thing that the two major political parties are fielding candidates who represent very … (2 comments)

townhallcom: The Band Played On - the Great Debate - 10/16/08 02:18 AM
The debate this evening was more interesting than its predecessors because of a more intimate, conversational format - but still lacked the fire and brimstone needed for Senator McCain to take advantage of the last major free media audience that he will enjoy before the election in less than three weeks.

townhallcom: What if the Band Plays "Hail to the Chief" for Barack Obama - 10/13/08 05:01 AM
Salena Zito, a contributor for Townhall.com, has offered a sobering, if evenhanded, view of our possible world with a President Obama. My philosophical differences with Senator Obama should be clear in the description - but clearly Obama seeks many of the same things I seek but with very different methods and … (11 comments)

townhallcom: And Now the Rest of the Story - 09/19/08 12:32 AM
Another of my favorite authors chimed in today to talk about the financial problems. Neal Boortz is an Atlanta talk show host who is more Libertarian than Conservative. He is not always polite to his telephone guests, but you always know where you stand with Neal. He is an attorney and a … (5 comments)

townhallcom: Avon Calling ! - Who ordered all this lipstick ? - 09/11/08 03:11 PM
Well, my spin on the Lipstick capers is a bit different, as usual. I believe the lipstick comment was intentional (particularly since Senator Biden made a lipstick comment on the same day - so it is just team talking points). But I believe the momentary insult to Governor Palin was incidental. … (16 comments)

townhallcom: The only thing to fear is fear Itself - 08/30/08 06:12 AM
It is interesting to listen to the Democrats talk about Karl Rove and the Bush Administration's politics of fear. " Don't believe those Republicans - they are just trying to scare you. We offer a politics of hope with a positive message." Ah... Right.
The problem is that in order for … (6 comments)

townhallcom: Who was that Masked Man - 08/29/08 02:50 AM
Earlier this year I had several conversations with political pros who are more knowledgeable than I about the national political contests - particularly on the Democrat side. The response I received about Senator Obama was repeated in several conversations even while the speakers were praising the Illinois Senator for his obvious … (6 comments)

townhallcom: Political Theater and the Light of Day - 08/26/08 07:49 AM
After a nauseating, if occasionally intriguing, endless Presidential campaign we are finally getting down to the heart of the matter. Finally we are seeing the outlines of the final conflict which will determine the direction of the country for at least the next four years - and with the probability of … (6 comments)

townhallcom: We have a real Choice - 08/09/08 07:55 AM
This Presidential election offers clear choices for the American public. It should not be a contest of personalities because the two candidates present dramatically different sets of beliefs, plans and proposals that will reach every corner of economic, judicial, domestic and foreign policy. So there is adequate basis to make the … (16 comments)

townhallcom: Say What ? - 08/08/08 05:05 AM
There was a time when I found myself a bit mesmerized by the sound of his voice and the optimistic message of his words. But now I have no confusion and now I see clearly why I am not voting for him. And what is interesting, is that despite the media's … (3 comments)

townhallcom: Someone in the media gets It - 07/12/08 06:22 AM
Every so often somebody in the clannish community that we refer to as the Media surprises me by telling the truth - and impresses me by telling it well. This week it is Michael Barone. Michael appears on Fox News as a contributor and is a senior writer for US News … (10 comments)

townhallcom: Freedom Never Cries - Backstory - 07/02/08 11:56 AM
I posted the you-tube video for Freedom Never Cries as a salute to the military for the Fourth of July. I didn't want to clutter the post with any unnecessary words - but there is a story to be told.
There are several video versions of the song on you-tube, but … (3 comments)

townhallcom: The Gasman Cometh - 06/21/08 09:13 PM
It is, as the saying goes, time to pay the Piper. Gas prices at three dollars per gallon didn't even cause a bump in the road, but gas at four dollars per gallon (and rising) is causing a convulsive reaction on the part of the American public. The cost of petroleum … (12 comments)

townhallcom: Fallen Heroes - 05/28/08 09:06 AM
I find, much to my surprise, that there is news in the world ourside of the Active Rain drama which has been center stage this week.
There seems to be a certain drumbeat to the increasing articles suggesting that Senator McCain's age should be a factor in the Presidential race. (if … (4 comments)

townhallcom: The Republican Soultion - 05/21/08 10:26 AM
I am featuring a Terry Paulson article below which calls for a 2008 version of the Contract with America as a solution to the malaise that engulfs the Republicans this year. While Terry's article is long on motivation, he needs to understand the mechanics of the Contract with America movement from … (1 comments)

townhallcom: Why we do not Negotiate - 05/18/08 07:33 AM
Senator Obama decided (I hesitate to use the word elected) to insert himself into the comments of President Bush before the Israeli Knesset at the 60 year anniversary of the Partition of Palestine by the United Nations in 1948 and the creation of the State of Israel.
I have already expressed … (13 comments)

townhallcom: The Cost of Responding to Global Warming - 05/15/08 09:11 AM
As I have written about global warming in these pages I have been concerned about several critical features of the claim of a crisis related to global warming. First, the premise of the existence of the problem of global warming and further that the problems is man-made is suspect. In my … (6 comments)
