A survey of notable quotables:

But with no significant increase in global temperatures for the past ten years or so, and atmospheric monitoring failing to find any evidence of the much-vaunted “greenhouse signature,” what used to be a steady stream of apocalyptic stories emanating from the newsrooms has all but dried up, and the job of trying to persuade us […]

Sadly, Sooner Than I Expected

I can’t recall at the moment if I ever talked about this here or on Hillbilly Politics, but it has often been in my mind that euthanasia would be the eventual outcome of government controlled healthcare. However, I thought it would be a few generations into the future. I was wrong.

Fake and Inaccurate

Anyone surprised by this needs his head examined:
Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s campaign seems to have purposely leaked the contents of the note that he placed in the Kotel, web magazine Israel Insider wrote Tuesday. While Israel’s Hebrew newspaper Maariv came under fire for publishing the note, “it now appears that Maariv had collaborated with […]

The Results of Climate Policies

How come whenever liberals try to “fix” a problem they end up making it worse. The people of Great Britain can attest to that. I thought global warming policies were supposed to be good for us. Riiiight.

A Liberal Who Gets the John Edwards Story

It’s always refreshing, though rare, to see a liberal who can face the truth. What’s even more revealing is how other liberals are treating him for telling the truth.
Read some of the comments. They’re hilarious! As I’ve often said, especially to the lefties I’ve come across, liberalism is easy if you don’t […]

Oil price is the Golden egg for Republicans

You have heard it now for a few months:
“Doing anything about drilling will take 10 years to drop the price of oil, so why bother”.
Well, so much for the dem savvy about oil.
President Bush announced a couple of weeks ago that he had signed an executive order (albeit about 6 years too late) to allow […]

GET OVER IT.

This is addressed to my liberal friends:
1. In the eyes of Muslims, Obama is a Muslim (or an apostate). Get over it.
2. McCain will win in November. Get over it.
3. Oil will be the main source of energy for the next five or six decades. Get over it.
4. […]

Running Out the Clock

I believe that’s a football term although I’m not a big fan. However, it’s an apt description of the happenings in Washington, D.C. This 2006 Congress has done almost nothing except spend on things that aren’t going to matter a year from now, two years from now, or even five years from now, except for […]

Less Wimpys, More Popeyes, Please.

For anyone familiar with Popeye cartoons, or even the film version with Robin Williams as Popeye, Wimpy is known by his signature phrase, “I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.”
The problem is the particular Tuesday never arrives. There will always be another Tuesday he meant. What’s more, anyone following the character closely […]

Remembering Tony Snow

The following are the notes that I wrote up back in November 2002 the day after I saw Tony Snow at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis. He was there giving the Seminary’s annual Hubert L. Dellenger Jr. Lecture. I haven’t changed anything except to correct a couple of grammar and spelling mistakes. I thought it […]

Don’t Lose Your Soul While Living Your Life

A couple of months ago the love of my life and I broke up. After six years together - of laughter, tears, joy, pain, and lots of heart-to-heart talks - we’ve called it quits. She’s ready to live her life…without me. Our departure was amicable and it wasn’t something that happened suddenly. In […]

Finding Victory in Defeat

Given the political climate this election year, things look pretty grim for conservatives all over the nation. We are pessimistically set for an Obama presidency, a larger Democratic majority in both houses of Congress, and an ever increasing cost of living status. Yet, there will be much to be thankful for in spite of this […]

The Battle of Iraq in the War on Terror is Over:
Al Qaeda has moved back to Afghanistan

Last night Fox news reported that American casualties are higher in Afghanistan than in Iraq for the second month running. Our media has gone dark on Iraq reporting with the exception of Maliki’s declarations about hastening American withdrawal which can be spun without admiting American success in Iraq. Thorough examination of the facts however yields […]
