On Barack Obama Needing To Be Reminded He’s Not A Muslim

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Did Barack Obama wear a Freudian slip under his trousers Sunday morning?
In an interview Sunday with ABC’s “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos, Obama tried to suggest that FOX News and others “closely allied” to Republicans are promulgating the notion that the Illinois senator is Muslim.
Asked about whether McCain himself has done anything to suggest he’s [...]

Monday, September 8th, 2008

From a McCain Democrat’s Journal, September 8, 2008

What Do Public Schools and the Obama Campaign Have in Common?

Monday, September 8th, 2008

In every matchup, private religious schools do better than public schools in graduation rates, achievement and of course, crime rates. In the inner city, many parents want the values taught in Sunday school to be taught during the week as well. The effect of this extends far beyond the time spent in religious instruction.
What does [...]

A Courtside Guide To Sarah “Barracuda” Palin

Monday, September 8th, 2008

“Al I ever really needed to know I learned on the basketball court,” Gov. Sarah Palin has said.
“‘I know this sounds hokey,” she told an interviewer in 2006, “but basketball was a life-changing experience for me.’ The problem for today’s feminists is that the life lessons Palin learned from basketball have made her their biggest [...]

Why Sarah Palin Debunks NOW-Style Feminism

Monday, September 8th, 2008

I found the following discussion about the treatment that Gov. Sarah Palin has received since she was announced as John McCain’s Vice President incredibly insightful.  It was broadcast on the September 5, 2008 “Hannity and Colmes” program on Fox News.
The participants are conservatives Sean Hannity, Bay Bucanan, and liberals Alan Colmes and Kirsten Powers.  Kirsten [...]

Sarah Palin Makes For Happiest Republican Convention Ever

Monday, September 8th, 2008

A few days ago I wrote an article titled, “Sarah Palin: Enter the Happy Conservative Warrior.”  My point was that the choice of Sarah Palin as John McCain’s Vice President has unified and energized the party as it has never been in my voting lifetime, right when we need it most.
Now I find that Newt [...]

It’s the bias, stupid

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Why does big media think everyone else is stupid? Time, reporting on the McCain campaign’s complaint of bias in the media, has this:
But there’s more to the McCain campaign’s claims of bias than numbers or narratives. Complicating the debate is the metastasis of informal, and unreliable, information sources online. As soon as the Palin pick [...]

Obama Camp Says Family Off Limits, Then Attacks Palin Family

Monday, September 8th, 2008

As bitterly opposed as I am to Barack Obama’s candidacy for President, I just don’t have it in me to create heinous stories about the Obamas’ two daughters, or try to destroy the Obamas’ as parents (has anyone mentioned that Michelle Obama has been a “working mother” too?).
Apparently, that’s why I’m a Republican, and not [...]

Liberal MSNBC “the Lohans” Of The News Biz

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Bill O’Reilly has long-said that NBC News is the most liberal and corrupt news organization in the country, and that its spin-off MSNBC is a disgrace.

The Future of the Abortion Debate, and the Last Hurrah of the 60s

Monday, September 8th, 2008

I’d like to discuss some themes brought up by Tbascom’s post, Sarah Palin - Feminist For Life!. I have always taken my pro-choice position for granted. This election however is increasingly challenging my views on pro-life vs pro-choice. 30yrDem-notanymore at McCain Democrats wrote what I thought was a very courageous post, in a sense coming [...]
