Politician: “Keep Your Convictions to Yourself”
While the title's not a direct quote, that's the gist of what was said by Representative Lynn Woolsey (D-CA) in a letter to Politico. The essence of this is, "keep your superstitious foolishness to yourselves and leave the governing to us progressives, or we'll steal your money." If you’re wondering where you may have heard of Rep. Woolsey before, she was the one responsible for Cindy Sheehan’s disruption of the 2006 State of the Union address. She had given her sole invitation to Sheehan, despite knowing she was a full-on loon. -
Joe Wilson: My Thoughts
This is just a quick note on Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC), who interrupted Obama’s Wednesday night speech with “you lie!” Which, by the way, was true: Obama lied when he said the current plans didn't cover illegal immigrants. I only have two criticisms for the Representative. -
Brian McLaren needs to butt out
Just got an email that's torqued my lugnuts a bit too much concerning Brian McLaren. In case you're unfamiliar, he's one of the most influential "evangelicals" in America...at least, according to Time magazine. I put "evangelical" in quotes, because, by my reading, the man doesn't seem to have the whole Christian thing figured out yet. -
Gas Tax Idiocy
I was doing something the other day I won't be doing again in the foreseeable future: reading a Motor Trend magazine. I was out of toilet reading material, but, while reading, I found another toiletry use for the magazine. Yup, they're pushing an increased gas tax, like the government's talking about even now. It's all about forced behavior modification and enhanced governmental control over lives. -
I Hate Eminent Domain
I have hated the entire concept of eminent domain ever since the state came to my father and made him sell some of his frontage property in order to put an off-ramp from the newly four-laned federal highway 45 back when I was a child. -
Journalism’s Gun Nitwittery
Excuse me, but I don't feel like leaving my life in the hands of men who only have to qualify their gun handling skills once a year, much less to some nutbar with a grudge. -
Merry…winter solstice? I don’t think so.
originally posted December 4th, 2008 For some perverted reason, over the last few years there's not been a Christmas that has gone unspoiled by some tomfoolery. This year (2008), the flashpoint is apparently centered in the Washington State Capital building, where an atheistic organization placed a sign protesting religion in general, Christianity in particular, and Christmas expressly. It's a display that smacks of spiteful children railing about how unfair some fact of life is. -
Only an Idiot Can Vote for Barack Obama
Yup, that's a provacative title, but I can't think of any other explanation aside from abject ignorance. Basically, it boils down to three matters that, while interrelated, are still discernable and worth putting forward. This is my mile-long post for the year, so hold on to your hats. -
O’Reilly, practice conservation: shut your mouth
Bush announced recently that he was rescinding the executive order prohibiting oil drilling on the continental shelf. An idiot reporter wanted to know why he didn’t tell people to quit driving so much and set their thermostat set points higher to reduce energy consumption, to which Bush says he’s not there to tell people [...] -
Supreme Court for the (rare) win
A big win for our Republic today, as the Supreme Court narrowly affirmed the right of Americans to keep and bear arms in their decision on District of Columbia V Heller today. This won’t result in a nationwide Castle Doctrine, though it would be nice, but at least the right is affirmed. What [...] -
“Reverend” Wright steps in it
First of all, according to WordWeb: Noun: Reverend A title of respect for a clergyman. Noun: reverend A member of the clergy and a spiritual leader of the Christian Church This should explain the term in quotations in the article title. It is a title of respect and reverence for the position of a reverend, none of which are [...] -
Hagee != Farrakhan. Find another stupid argument
One of my more foolish habits is watching political television…and, again, the latest thing to irritate my sensibilities was the Hannity & Colmes program. As usual, they’re haranging over Barack Obama and his perceived foibles…of particular note to this writing, his relationship with his pastor, who gave an award to Louis Farrakhan, who has [...] -
A Conservative for Clinton? It’s Possible!
I’ve nearly had enough of this pathetic excuse for a presidential campaign. Last week, I was fully planning on not voting at all. I know some people belly-ache about that, citing some version of “too many good men died to secure my right to vote!” Yeah, whatever…they died to secure our right [...] -
A Fundamentalist Worldview
Often times, in discussions online and off, our stated principles, beliefs, and opinions earn us labels. Of course, labeling is a convenient means of categorizing a person and their beliefs in a set group that is easily identifiable, if not very accurate. More often than not is used as a filter…one that [...] -
Religiocity and the GOP
Yes, I just invented a word especially for the title of this column. Do you like it? Hey, if Jesse Jackson can do it and get away with it, then so can I! What prompted this spontaneous coining of a brand new term (maybe I should copyright it, so as to prevent others from [...] -
Barack Obama is a blithering imbecile
Here’s a hint to politicians (but one that applies to everybody): don’t talk about something you know too little about, or you will come across as a fool. Even my three year-old niece knows when someone’s full of it…her latest favorite word being “moron”. I think it’s absolutely precious! So, what cow pile does [...] -
Immigration Bill Breakdown
Let’s go point-by-point: 1) aliens are given the option of paying a fine to become legal immigrants, 2) those who do not get to go home and try again, 3) those that do are given visas and are on the path to citizenship, 4) legal immigrants continue to do the same thing they’ve been doing for two hundred years [...] -
“There’s gonna be a revolution in this country!”
Those were words I often heard from one of my favorite ex-co-workers from time to time, and it was always in relation to some stupid thing the government does. Whether it was taxes (usually around mid-April), divorce law, immigration, quotas, or any number of things, that was pretty much what he’d finish his rant of [...] -
Oh, irony of ironies!
Astute readers of this blog already know what I’ve written on Mormonism and Mitt Romney in the past (Mitt Romney won’t get my vote) (The loaded term that is “bigotry”). However, I don’t believe I’ve ever mentioned Al Sharpton here. The stars have aligned, and I now feel the time has arrived for [...] -
May Day!
It’s May Day, A.K.A. Surrender National Sovereignty Day, or “Mayday! Mayday!” For the United States Today being May Day, whose significance is totally lost to me (being a WASP), thousands of scalawags and assorted immigrants (legal and otherwise) marched their sorry selves up and down American streets protesting the federal government’s enforcement of the border and [...] -
More thoughts on the Virginia Tech massacre
Since the last time I wrote on the subject a couple days ago, we’ve learned a good bit more about the Virginia Tech killer. Not only that, but there’ve been lots and lots of blame being passed around. I’ve got a few additional things to say concerning this, as it affects a number [...] -
My thoughts on the Virgina Tech massacre
Audio Post * clips of “There’s Peace in Knowing” performed by N’Harmony…now disbanded, but credit where credit is due. The very first thing I would like to say is how very sorry I am that this happened. The more I think of it, the less capable I am of objectively thinking about the whole thing. [...] -
The loaded term that is “bigotry”
In his latest newsletter Dick Morris proves that he doesn’t quite know everything: …but most seem turned off by his [Mitt Romney's] Mormon faith. While this artifact of bigotry is obscene… No, what’s obscene is the ignorance of most political people when it comes to religion. As much respect as I have for little Dickie as [...] -
Mitt Romney won’t get my vote
I get sick and tired of people on conservative radio and television who bitch and moan about those who hold Mitt Romney’s Mormonism against him. You know, the last time I checked, as an American I have every right to hold anything I want against a political candidate who wants my vote. And [...] -
Gen. George S. Patton – A Real American Hero
In today’s world, there doesn’t seem to really be many shining examples of leadership. I don’t personally believe we’ve had a credible leader since Ronald Reagan graced the nation by sitting in the Oval Office, and in the years since the end of his last term there have been very few who can even [...] -
Committing to What’s Right
I was listening to Laura Ingraham’s show this afternoon…which, if you’re a listener, I can explain it as a weird oddity of the local talk station: one hour comes on at 9 and the other at 2 after Limbaugh. The show featured an exchange between Wolf Blitzer and Vice President Dick Cheney. At the end of [...] -
Kofi can take his job and sho….nevermind.
I’ve griped to friends and family at length over the past few months about these international dorks who abuse their diplomatic leeway, specifically in the realms of free speech allowed, in order to tear down and say things I would evict them from the country for uttering on American soil. First we had that [...] -
Political fallout from the election
Okay, Democratic controlled Congress is forthcoming in January. The sun will rise every day next year just like it did this year. I may pay more in taxes, but that’s nothing new. We’ll all survive. Sure, it’s not the most optimal of circumstances, but they haven’t been optimal since….ever. So, what happened? [...] -
My two bits on the Mark Foley scandal
There’s a lot being said about this lately. Democrats say we should put down the Republican leadership because they knew of it. Republicans say they didn’t know and Dems are using it for political gain. Now a Catholic priest is said to have swam naked with him as a child, all in a way of [...] -
Chavez and Ahmadinejad, sittin’ in a tree
Hugo Chavez should be shot in the face with a bazooka in his own home. And, not only that, but his enablers should, as well. That includes every cheese-eating pinko who cheered him Wednesday morning from the floor of the U.N., as well as that big-mouthed imbecile running Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The [...]
