I had a discussion this past week with a fairly "progressive" client on a wide variety of topics. Mostly cordial, of course. He was the client. One of his positions was that access to healthcard should be a right, not a privilege. I took the position that while I agree that individuals should be given … Continue reading Die Quickly

California’s Nightmare Will Kill Obamanomics
Kevin Hassett's article is funny and sad. Sad becuse it's true; funny because of his observations. Sample of funny: The federal picture is so bleak because the Obama administration is the most fiscally irresponsible in the history of the U.S. I would imagine that he would be the intergalactic champion as well, if we could … Continue reading California’s Nightmare Will Kill Obamanomics
Executive Kill Orders
Obama's first executive orders are about to gives us a hint what the next four years will be like. Presidents long have used executive orders to impose policy and set priorities. One of Bush's first acts was to reinstate full abortion restrictions on U.S. overseas aid. The restrictions were first ordered by President Reagan and … Continue reading Executive Kill Orders
The Loss of Conservatism
Image by Getty Images via DaylifeIf the major news media has succeeded today in discouraging conservatives from voting, the trifecta will be complete - Legislative, Executive, and Media. The blame for such a loss can be spread to many people. Let's start at the top. I like President Bush, and I threw my entire support … Continue reading The Loss of Conservatism
Russia Will Get Away With It
Russia invades Georgia, and we'll make mewing-like complaints. Russia will conquer our ally Georgia and we will do nothing useful to stop it. Georgia, once part of the Soviet Union, has become a strong ally of the US. Three quarters of their country voted to join Nato. That must gall Russia. So they weighed their … Continue reading Russia Will Get Away With It
Barack Hussein Obama: Self-Described Christian
Barrack Hussein Obama describes himself as a Christian and the New York Times is almost besides itself with glee. Notice the picture and how holy Obama appears. I like Christians, I really do. I happen to be one. But those people that routinely exhibit their Christian faith are routinely trashed by the New York Times. … Continue reading Barack Hussein Obama: Self-Described Christian
Where They Stand
I've been playing with this idea for a while, and I'm giving it a shot today. If it turns out I don't like this idea, I can always delete it later. 😛 (I'm going to edit this post as necessary to clarify the intent, so don't be surprised when the wording changes.) I want to … Continue reading Where They Stand
The Left Hates Inequality
On the surface, that doesn't sound so bad. The Left hates inequality. Nobody need be better or worse than anybody else. Trouble is, enforced equality is socialism, communism. Instead of bringing people up from the bottom, equality is enforced by shackling the achievers. When you see a special tax on oil profits, opposition to school … Continue reading The Left Hates Inequality
Disgruntled Conservatives
When Bush pushed for Harriet Miers, I balked. The Republicans are not only not acting like the majority party, but the few battles they win seem like they're for the other side. The size of government balloons. From the lack of social security reform to the nomonation of Harriet Miers, I'm done giving Bush the … Continue reading Disgruntled Conservatives
What Is Your Name?

Use the third letter of your first name to determine your new first name: a = snickle b = doombah c = goober d = cheesey e = crusty f … Continue reading What Is Your Name?

Not Interested
At lunch today, I looked for news to blog about about. I found a lot of stuff that doesn't interest me. So I'm going to blog about that. Paris Hilton. Apparently hackers broke into her Blackberry and posted her address book on the web. Somewhere. All the news is gaga over the fact that Paris … Continue reading Not Interested
Pippi Longstocking for Bush
No matter how conservative you are. No matter how Republican you are. No matter how much support you wish to show for George W. Bush. Do NOT do this to your children.

Zell Miller, Patriotic Democrat
Zell Miller gave a rousing patriotic speech last night to explain why he's switching party lines to vote for George Bush. His heart and mind is his conscience, and he's proudly stated something that's important to me. I am not necessarily a Republican. I don't hold certain ideals because Republicans tell me to; I am … Continue reading Zell Miller, Patriotic Democrat
I Believe…
Pardon My English has a terrific article that blends in nicely with one of my posts last week. Aaron points out that Kerry says he believes life begins at conception. Michael Meehan, Kerry's senior advisor, says that Kerry is a practicing Catholic, yet won't impose those beliefs on others. Yet if you go to Kerry's … Continue reading I Believe…
