Commentary Appropriate For Today’s Changing World

Guilt?

April 30, 2004 - Comments Off

Does….. John Kerry have blood on his hands? The Federalist weighs in….
“Though our national resolve has not been undermined (yet), the ascension of presumed Demo-nominee John Kerry could change all that. Kerry is shamelessly calling into question the wartime leadership of President Bush, protesting our mission in Iraq with a fervor akin to that with […]


Thinkers vs Linkers

- Comments Off

Today…, I fall into the category of “linkers are not thinkers”. For the last few days, I’ve been unable to string two intelligent thoughts together. However, Victor Davis Hanson is not a victim of that affliction. For those confused about the reasons we are in the current conflict, Hanson has the answers. His piece is […]


Passing

April 26, 2004 - Comments Off

Jay’s son…, John, called yesterday morning to tell me that Jay had gone to be with our Lord at about 7:00 AM. The call was not unexpected; yet, it still came as a shock. It’s so difficult to get my head around the idea that someone that I have called friend and brother since we […]


The Draft

April 21, 2004 - Comments Off

Chuck Hagel…, RINO from Nebraska, makes the argument that the draft should be re-instituted because too much of the burden of the Iraq war is falling on the shoulders of the poor.
A Republican U.S. senator is calling for a return of the military draft so the cost of the Iraq operation could be borne by […]


Common Sense

- Comments Off

Hmmm…It looks as if the common sense arguments presented by those of us that favor more stringent border control measures are now buttressed by hard cold facts.
“Border Patrol agents have said another factor contributing to the rise in illegal alien arrests is President Bush’s plans to change immigration laws. Officials reported a 15 percent […]

Just a short deviation… from the usual. My brother-in-law is an artist that works out of his studio in East Texas. For those interested in history, as it is portrayed in bronze and pewter, I’m sure that you’ll find this site very interesting.
Below, you’ll find some examples of his work:
Bringing in a Buddy The […]


Whiners, Whimperers, and Complainers

- Comments Off

Mark Steyn…, as only he can, takes to task those whiners, whimperers, and complainers that usually appear on the scene when the going gets tough.


Endorsements

April 19, 2004 - Comments Off

I found… this piece by Robert Novak to be quite revealing. The interesting thing about this column is not necessarily Novak’s take on the big, “Liberal Money” connection between Specter and the Soros crowd, but George Bush’s endorsement of a RINO over an avowed conservative candidate, in the Republican primary.
“George W. Bush’s journey to Pittsburgh […]


Problem

April 17, 2004 - Comments Off

I’ve always… had a problem with the schizophrenic nature of Andrew Sullivan’s politics. In addition, the “courtship” by the right, of Mr. Sullivan, has been very troubling. However, Saint Paul, one of the Fraters guys, has hit the nail on the head in today’s post regarding the aforementioned.


Too Late

April 16, 2004 - Comments Off

This, my friends,….is a classic case of closing the barn door after the horse has gotten out. It’s so encouraging to see that the members of the 911 commission are “masters of the obvious”.
