The United States Border Guard

Monday, June 13th, 2005

Jon Dougherty of GOPUSA makes an interesting suggestion.
COMMENTARY — New Military Branch: The United States Border Guard:
He’d like to see a new military branch created called the US Border Guard.
My opinion: Don’t create a new branch, just put our current military to work at what is supposed to be their job in the first place. [...]

Republicans take a shot at Big Bird?

Sunday, June 12th, 2005

Here we go again. If you stop sending someone money, you’re attacking them?
Jun 10, 2005: Republicans take a shot at Big Bird:
Republicans on the House subcommittee that controls public broadcasting have voted to reduce and eventually eliminate federal funding for public broadcasting. The effects would be disastrous.
Children, parents, and teachers deserve a network that provides [...]

Republicans and Democrats should oppose Janice Rogers Brown, the rest of us should elect her President

Sunday, June 12th, 2005

Here’s an interesting post from DNC: Kicking Ass:
Jun 7, 2005: Why moderates and conservatives should oppose Janice Rogers Brown
The funny part is that everything they cited gave me another reason to like her. Even the link to the Think Progress post showed me how great she would be as a judge. I’d love to see [...]

Property Rights?

Sunday, June 12th, 2005

I must say I like reading Amy Ridenour’s Blog. Once again she points out an issue, but fails to go far enough in her comments about what is wrong.
In her blog post: Sex Story or Property Rights Story? I Say the Latter, Ms. Ridenour says:
In a piece otherwise largely sympathetic to the owners and [...]

The Riots of the Faithful by Orson Scott Card

Sunday, May 29th, 2005

I was just turned on to an Orson Scott Card article that, as usual, makes you think.
World Watch - May 15, 2005 - The Riots of the Faithful - The Ornery American
Thank you for telling it like it is, Mr. Card. Everyone should read this and think on it. Maybe you don’t agree, but [...]

Oprah and the terrorists

Friday, May 27th, 2005

Oprah and the terrorists:
: Debbie Schlussel, conservative columnist and Howard Stern fave, writes a pretty damning indictment of Oprah’s mollycoddling of terrorists: Schlussel says Oprah wants us to understand mass murderer Mohammed Atta and understand a Palestinian human bomb and not mention that the murderers in Beslan were Islamic but instead came from the mountains. [...]

Even if it’s true doesn’t mean you should say it

Capital Games: More on the Pentagon’s Koran Fib: “First there were no credible allegations; now the Pentagon admits there were ‘incidents.
(Via The Nation Weblogs.)
So what! What possible good or public interest was served by reporting this in the first place? What the hell did Newsweek think would happen?! In their childish quest for a scoop, [...]

Editor’s Cut: Wal-Mart Avarice

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

Editor’s Cut: Wal-Mart Avarice: “Morley Safer takes aim at Wal-Mart.
(Via The Nation Weblogs.)
Brown, who has been nominated to serve on the powerful US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, has condemned the New Deal, which gave the United States Social Security, the minimum wage and fair labor laws. She has expressed doubts [...]

The Nation?

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

Well, it looks like I found the Democratic web site to disagree with. It’s name? The Nation.
It has just what I like in a Democratic blog. Casual references to evil greedy corporations, blatant historical inaccuracies, snarky references that undermine the personal morality of other people and disdain for judges who actually take their duties seriously.
Just [...]

Star Parker

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

Well, I took some initiative and found a few columns by Star Parker to see what she’s saying. She has some interesting and well thought out articles, but unfortunately, she’s wrong (of course!).
I should mention that the only reason I haven’t said that any of the Democrats are wrong is that I haven’t gotten to [...]
