Watch out — ABC may be on the verge of becoming a fair-and-balanced news outlet. From this posting with the headline “McCain, Obama Seek to Show Commander-in-Chief Potential”:
It’s a contest of contrasts, pitting McCain — the experienced foreign policy hawk — against a relative newcomer who hopes to restore America’s influence and image abroad.

What follows was originally posted here over three years ago. It strikes me as a good prediction of the kinds of decisions we would see under President Barack Hussein Obama.
The conditions in Cuba have, we are told, loosed up somewhat. But not nearly enough; dissident Cuban patriots are still rotting [...]
Is Barack Hussein Obama a Muslim?
Posted in Islam, Obama on June 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Is Barack Hussein Obama a Muslim? Not any more. Daniel Pipes’ analysis makes it clear that while he might have had a Muslim upbringing, he is not today a Muslim. Given Obama’s full name; given his Muslim family; given his attendance at mosque and madrassa, it’s easy to understand how such a rumor might have [...]
Submit to government?
Posted in Christianity on June 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Romans 13:1-5 is trotted out in many churches for patriotic occasions, to remind us to submit to our government:
1Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and [...]
A Christian nation?
Posted in America, Christianity on June 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The question is as old as our Republic. And still has no satisfactory answer that will go unchallenged. Today’s multicultural crowd will shudder at the notion that we might be a Christian nation; they will, at the mere hint of Scripture being sent their way holler “Theocracy!”
On the other hand, there are (usually) [...]
Don’t think so

News you can use — if not believe. According to this post at EcoGeek,
In less than 7 years, Mercedes-Benz plans to ditch petroleum-powered vehicles from its lineup. Focusing on electric, fuel cell, and biofuels, the company is revving up research in alternative fuel sources and efficiency.
The writer goes on to surmise about the [...]
Unity?

The Hillary and BHO Unity Tour got off to a great start yesterday. But all was not sweetness and empty symbolism.
Was I the only one who got the impression that Hillary looked as though she was on some sort of perp walk? There she was, on display as the political criminal who [...]
Why we fight

Here’s a charming little story that well illustrates what kind of men we are fighting. The Fox News story is “Thousands Cheer as Pakistani Militants Decapitate, Shoot Afghans Accused of Spying for U.S.“
No fuss; lots of muss, however. The basics, from Fox:
Gunmen with daggers then pounced on one of the men — [...]
Q&A for BHO
Posted in Hypocrites, Obama on June 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Whatever else he is, Barack Hussein Obama is slick. He tries to have it both ways on some issues, and, sadly, his enablers in the mainstream media have cut him enormous slack. Here is the Anointed One, responding to a simple question during the Potomac Primary earlier this year.
The issue is the constitutionality [...]

A near miss on a basic right
Posted in Liberty on June 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Today’s decision on the Washington D.C. gun ban was only narrowly decided in favor of a basic right. History and common sense combine to allow no other decision but that the Second Amendment means what it says:
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the [...]

NARAL Catholics

NARAL sides with baby-killers. Wow, that’s harsh — but so is taking an innocent, unborn life that is guilty only of perhaps being inconvenient. The Roman Catholic Church is the strongest advocate in the world for protecting innocent life. To be a faithful Catholic is to be against abortion. Period.

Alex is the adorable tyke being trotted out in the latest MoveOn.org assault on freedom. Cute little guy, with an adorable mommy who just isn’t going to let that mean old man John McCain send her son into Iraq.
Since we have an all-volunteer Army (and Navy, Air Force and Marines), perhaps Alex’s mommy [...]
Another endorsement…sort of
Posted in Obama on June 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
From the indispensable MEMRI, this translation of the latest endorsement of the African-Muslim candidate, Barack Hussein Obama. From none other than the Nutsy Fagin of the Arab world (it’s a tough competition to gain this title, folks…), Libyan Leader Mu’ammar Al-Qadhafi.
What the gent had to say is summarized by MEMRI thusly:

Just in case there is any doubt about who the patriot might be in this year’s election, consider this from Sean Hannity’s interview with John McCain (via Contentions):

You can’t make this stuff up. Presented, for your viewing pleasure, via the New York Times, the Un-Great Seal of the Exalted State of Saint Barack of Obama, the Annointed One.
Barack Hussein Obama must believe he’s already the president of some Third World shithole. Perhaps Obamaland, where they worship their Saint Barack.
He has money; lacks honor

It’s news when one of the major organs of the liberal mainstream media notice, and condemn, the Sainted One’s behavior. The Sainted One? Saint Barack of Obama, the savior, who will rescue us from, oh, whatever heinous sins liberals imagine we’ve committed.
Being a totally non-guilt-ridden white whose people weren’t here for slavery, nor [...]

The Oil War of 2008 is heating up, if you’ll pardon the pun. Democrats are, generally, pooh-pooing the notion that we need to open up more lands for drilling. Their party line? The lands already open for exploration will do nicely, thank you very much.
Their real agenda? Continue to blame [...]

John Adams famously said this about facts:
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
Thus it is with murder. As the accompanying graphic from the Bureau of Justice Statistics demonstrates, it is much, much safer to [...]
Read ‘em their rights

Whatever else we do, let’s ensure that we read terrorists their Miranda rights while we attempt to arrest them. The recent close decision (5-4) by the Supreme Court on Gitmo detainees will hurt Americans. Sooner, or later.
A close Supreme Court decision can be changed; all it takes is a couple of deaths or [...]
A tale of two floods

There is a difference between the flooding in Iowa and what happened to New Orleans when Katrina came to town. When a natural disaster struck Louisiana, chaos ruled. Governments, especially those of the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana, failed miserably to respond with any kind of effect.

Looks like there’s another black person who has joined The Stupids. The Stupids, not of course exclusively black, are those who are quick to blame “them” or “the government” for anything that is wrong. Especially if there is absolutely zero evidence of any connection between that which is wrong and the government.
For example, [...]

Who are you going to believe? Obama or your lyin’ eyes? Obama, along with the now-dominant left wing of his party, have told us that all is lost in Iraq. That the best thing for us to do is cut our losses and come home, leaving the Iraqis to their own devices. Would [...]

“As far as I know”

Back in March, Hillary Clinton said of Barack Hussein Obama being a Muslim (via Political Punch), “There’s nothing to base that on. As far as I know.” Wink-wink, nudge, nudge.
Not least because of his attending Muslim schools in Indonesia and having a bigamous Muslim father who was not legally married to his mother [...]

From John McCain’s first general election ad, the candidate puts paid to the foolish notion that he is a war-monger:

Undemocratic Democrats

Caucuses are, on their face, undemocratic. In two principal aspects: firstly and most importantly, it denies a secret ballot to the voters. You go to the caucus, and then physically stand, or sit, with those who are for a particular candidate. Your “vote” as it were, is open and obvious [...]
