Conservatives Must Rally Now

1 Comment | Posted by matthew on January 31st, 2008 in Election, Republican

Mark Levin says conservatives must rally now if we are to get what we want…
…and what America needs.
Let’s face it, none of the candidates are perfect. They never are. But McCain is the least perfect of the viable candidates. The only one left standing who can honestly be said to share most of our conservative [...]

Obama and Clinton being children:
There’s a bold line between idealism and fantasy,
neither of them have grown enough to know the difference.

With big thanks to Sweetness & Light.
McCain is the front runner, but he’s not won yet. America’s Mayor has endorsed him after ending his own bid to become America’s President. The Governator is expected to [...]

Barb has an excellent post on bringing Motherhood to it’s deserved place of honor. And it’s funny too.
The Clerk was obviously a career woman, poised, efficient, and
possessed of a high sounding title like,
‘Official Interrogator’ or ‘Town Registrar.’
‘What is your occupation?’ she probed.
What made me say it? I do not know.
The words simply popped out.
‘I’m a [...]

To all y’all who just may think the IRS will voluntarily tell you how much they owe you, be careful. Somebody else thinks you exist.

Things that should tip you off:

The IRS does not contact you by email
The email address is not a government address. IRS addresses would end with “@irs.gov”.
Government emails use more graphics. All [...]

Update: Bumped, Will and I have been going at it for a few days. Read the comments…
The Study:
In the UCSF study, researchers found that men in a clinic for HIV-positive patients who had a history of having sex with men were 13 times more likely than other HIV-positive patients to get a particular form of [...]

“its no the ppls fault”

2 Comments | Posted by matthew on January 25th, 2008 in Culture, Government, Responsibility

In comments following the video I found this observation:
“its no the ppls fault its the roads not being salted fault”
Obvious schooling and literacy issues aside, this is a supremely immature reasoning and conclusion. But I fear it is all too commonplace today.
To read the comment literally, we see the fallacy of blaming an inanimate, amoral [...]

Found in the Chicago Defender:
With the presidential race in full swing, the U.S. Supreme Court is currently considering a case that could have a huge impact on the nation’s electoral system forever. It revolves around an Indiana statue that requires voters to show current state issued photo identification when they cast their ballots. Last Election [...]

Either it pays for itself or it’s 4 billion of your dollars down the hole in 5 years.
The State of California (sometimes it’s more a state of mind than anything substantive) is facing a 14.5 billion dollar shortfall, and yet, in their reckless pursuit of assuaging all societal inequities, the majority of the Democrat Legislators [...]

He’s A Stinker

McCain and the Gang of 14. Listening recently to Michael Medved, who has endorsed McCain, I was appalled by an apologist he had on as a guests’ argument that the Gang of 14 was a farsighted and wise investment by McCain in the continuing success of the Republican party.
We had a majority and were not [...]

Flying recently across the country after spending time in California introducing my girlfriend to my parents, odd things happened on the SWA flight. It seems the cockpit comedy common to that favored of low-cost airlines went a bit too far. We were the last two left on the flight when it landed.
After we landed, I [...]
