Obama's Blunder

Like the Koran in the toilet incident of last week, I’m sure that most people have heard the news regarding Barak Obama’s statement regarding Pakistan by now. He made the initial remarks nearly a week ago. Hot Air had a posting on the matter here:... Sign in to see full entry.

Koran in Toilet: Free Speech or Felony?

I’m sure most people have already heard about this by other means as it happened several days ago and has been percolating through the blogosphere since (O’Reilly mentioned it last night on “The Factor”). Essentially, 23-year-old Stanislav Shmulevich of Brooklyn threw two Korans in toilets at Pace... Sign in to see full entry.

Is the U.S.A. Evil?

There seems to be a great deal of hate directed toward the United States coming from its own citizenry, particularly the far left. I want to examine this issue of whether the U.S.A. is actually evil and see if it has any merit. (For the record, I am an independant who leans toward the right) First,... Sign in to see full entry.

Who to Believe? The Times or Tony Snow?

The NY Times ran a headline saying that Al-Queda was as strong as, if not stronger, than it was six years ago. Tony Snow (White House spokesperson) said that that's a load of bunk and the reverse is true: Al-Queda has been significantly damaged. This, of course, leads to the obvious question: who do...

Ron Paul's a Bit Loony for Me

Sorry, I'm a bit tardy on this entry. This is in response to something Ron Paul said a few days ago. I simply haven't had a chance to say anything about it. Now, of course, I've misplaced the link. Nevertheless, I will try to respond from memory. Basically, Ron Paul said that the next "terrorist... Sign in to see full entry.

Islam and Reform

The United States is currently engaged in a War on Terror. Our enemy is not just shapeless, nameless "terrorists," but militant Islam. As a point of fact, it is not just a few crackpots going around blowing things up, but a significant portion of the entire Islamic religion that is out to get us.... Sign in to see full entry.

Ron Paul and 9-11

I wanted to take the time to clarify Ron Paul's comment when he suggested that we invited the terrorist attacks on 9-11, and give my own reaction to such. Like I said previously, that is typically a liberal viewpoint. Basically, I think it can be made strongest as the old "cycle of violence"... Sign in to see full entry.

The Republican Debate

I watched the Republican debate last night. As far as I'm concerned, none of the candidates really impressed me overall. And, actually, I can only recognize three of them by name: Romney, Giuliani, and McCain. The others were just a blur of faces. One guy had a great one-liner: spending money like...
