What is puritanism? It is the nagging fear that somewhere, people are enjoying themselves. America made a disastrous experiment in legislating good health by making a ban on the sale and manufacture of alcohol from 1917 until 1933. During the time of Prohibition, America became a nation of lawbreakers. The only success of Prohibition was [...]

From a McCain Democrat’s Journal, September 16, 2008
As the “Red” Republican states move away from the “Purple Zone,” some of the “Blue” Democratic states are turning “Purple.”  In Minnesota, McCain-Palin have gone from trailing by double digits to a virtual tie.  But just as surprising, the McCain-Palin ticket suddenly is becoming competitive in New York [...]

Who is behind the Hotline FD Tracking Poll that consistently shows Barack Obama in the lead and which sharply counters every other poll taken for the last seven days?  That turns out to be an interesting question with an even more interesting answer.

If you follow the polls reported on Real Clear Politics, you may have noticed the addition of a new “tracking” poll named “Hotline/FD Tracking.”  You may also have noticed that this poll consistently favors the Obama-Biden ticket, for no apparent good reason.

In France, historically the European country with the strongest anti-American sentiment, 80 per cent would back Mr Obama, while Mr McCain would receive a derisory 8 per cent.
That’s right.  In the European country that most despises Americans, Barack Obama has a 10-1 lead over John McCain.
And we can fondly reminisce about Obama’s celebrated appearance before [...]

MSNBC’s 16 June 2008 report, in italics ”Obama’s Talk with Iraqi Foreign Minister”, contrasted with 15 Sept NY Post report, Obama Tried to Stall GI’s Iraqi Withdrawal:

In response to a question about how much flexibility there would be to withdrawal plans, Obama said he still believed U.S. forces could be out of the country within about [...]

Sarah Palin, that religious nutjob who bans books, who demands that creationism be taught in place of evolution, who is determined to impose her pro-life views on society, and who is just an all around bad person who compares unfavorably to the Taliban.  That’s the Democrat’s characterization of her.
Well, as usual, liberals are revealed to [...]

The bankruptcy filing of Lehman Brothers has sent shock waves through the financial world. Of necessity, this setback will be studied not only to remedy the current situation at Lehman Brothers but to insulate the market against such turbulence in the future.
