The yearlyKos does an old man’s soul good. I got into writing here because it helps me. The first real depression in my life came when George Bush was re-elected. I just couldn’t believe it! That’s when I started reading things. That’s when I discovered the political blogs. They helped me a lot. The things […]
Liberals can believe what they want to believe, but let us not flinch from identifying liberalism as the opposition party to God. [from an ad for Ann Coulter’s book Godless: The Church of Liberalism] Interesting. I think I got so into Ann Coulter’s crazy logical fallacy soup that I missed the point of her book. […]
Gingrich May Run in 2008 If No Front-Runner Emerges Danger! Will Robinson. Danger! Newt Gingrich is a well spoken, intelligent man – not a fool like George Bush. He’s also spent his years since he resigned as speaker of the House at the American Enterprise Institute. For anyone who has been asleep for 40 years, […]

Political Theory A political theory founded on the natural goodness of humans and the autonomy of the individual and favoring civil and political liberties, government by law with the consent of the governed, and protection from arbitrary authority. often Liberalism The tenets or […]
"In any place or any time on any issue, what does liberalism ever seek? More — more government, more taxation, more control over people’s lives and decisions and wallets." I read these lines from Tom Delay’s goodbye speech in the House of Representatives today, and took the bait. I exhumed my graphs showing the increased […]
There’s a lot of noise right now – Zarqawi’s death, Ann Coulter’s Book, the article in Vanity Fair about the Niger Forgeries, the Gay Marriage Ban Amendment, the yearlyKos, Robert Kennedy’s article in Rolling Stone about the 2004 election fraud. But under the din, it’s been all quiet on the Plamegate front – until today. […]
It’s not like in the Wizard of Oz: Ding Dong, the Witch is dead, Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch. Ding Dong, the Wicked Witch is dead. Munchkinland isn’t liberated. The end of the jihadist suicide bomber epidemic isn’t likely either. But there is, at least, a feeling of relief that this man whose brutality […]
Like most, I found Ann Coulter’s Shock and Awe performance in her interview with Matt Lauer revolting. I reacted to her manner, not the content of what she said. She was raving about on the show about a group of widows of people killed in the 911 attacks and Cindy Sheehan criticizing the Administration. Her […]
The War They Wanted, The Lies They Needed by Craig Unger in Vanity Fair is as good a summary of the Nigergate Forgeries as has appeared to date. Like the reports in La Repubblica, or the detailed analysis by the left coaster, the conclusion is the same. In spite of a torrent of indicators and […]
Looking at the yearlyKos program is a treat – all the luminaries with plenty of great workshops. But I didn’t see what I wanted to see – workshops devoted to the question, "How do we get ‘our’ voters to vote?" The dismal turnout in this week’s elections is a dark harbinger for the midterms. You […]
