Are The Republicans Stupak?

This is the point at which the Republicans are called out on abortion. Ideally, when radical feminist Dems threaten to sink the Bill because of Stupak. Don’t bet against that one. Handed the power to save the Bill that, by making most healthcare federally funded, would make abortion all but impossible, what will the GOP [...]

Lou Dobbs: “Bring Our Troops Home”

From LouDobbs.com:
We, the undersigned citizens of the United States of America, hereby petition the federal government to bring home all of our troops now deployed and stationed throughout the world.
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me! I just signed the petition. Thanks to Karen Kwiatkowski at the LRC blog for posting.

Roman Vampyre Hun?

It is an anagram of the name of the man who is now my President. But these are his wise words:
“The universal values which are in force in Europe, and which are fundamental values of Christianity, will lose vigor with the entry of a large Islamic country such as Turkey.”
He makes a monthly Benedictine retreat. [...]

Patria y Libertad

Cuba is the country to which I would move if I really did want a government that persecuted those who engaged in homosexual acts. Now that there is no longer an American Administration full of people who have never recanted their Trotskyism, President Obama should lift the entire blockade, which only attracts sympathy to this [...]

How I Spent My Weekend

MINT-AND-CORN COUNTRY, INDIANA — Last weekend, I ventured to my alma mater to attend the Center for Ethics and Culture’s tenth annual conference, The Summons of Freedom: Virtue, Sacrifice, and the Common Good. An intoxicating breath of fresh intellectual air, the conference featured invited speakers, inter alios, Russell Hittinger (Attended and amazed by.), Michael Novak [...]

Controlling The Population

Reducing carbon dioxide emissions has been a solution in search of a problem for decades. It was once supposed to be the answer to global cooling. What it always entails is that high-wage, high-skilled, high-status jobs for the working class in general and for working-class men in particular must never be created or restored, while [...]

When You’ve Lost Commentary . . .

The ADL has apparently made its final lurch into the same level of disrepute and ridiculousness as the Southern Poverty Law Center.  After publishing a report seemingly attacking all criticism of Obama as “hate speech”, Commentary goes the extra mile in attacking them, and we should expect nothing less from this paragon of the paranoid [...]

Why Ron Paul Should Not Run for President Again

I wish Ron Paul had won the Republican nomination in 2008.  I wish Paul had won the general election and was president right now.  But he’s not, and by the time the 2012 primaries start, he will be 76 years old.  This is past the age of almost any contender for the presidency that I [...]

Obama To Apologize For Hiroshima?

In the tradition of Republican calls for Europe to revert to pre-1914 borders and thus end the World War One. Of refusal to enter the World War Two until actually attacked by either side. Of Eisenhower’s ending of the Korean War, his even-handed approach to Israel and the Palestinians, and his denunciation of the military-industrial [...]

The Courage To Be Free

I have not been posting nearly as much as I’d like lately, and I’ve had a lot I want to say, mostly about the shocking efforts by the neocons to foment a genuine anti-Muslim frenzy in the wake of the Fort Hood incident and the announcement of the 9/11 trials - so much is happening [...]
