Sometimes it gets real hard to figure this country out. Sometimes it doesn’t. The Gallup Poll started tracking the abortion issue in 1995. At the time, we had a pro-choice president. From 2001 until 2009, we had a very pro-life president. Since then, we’ve had a president who very strongly pro-choice. So, go figure this [...]

They say numbers don’t lie. However, numbers, in the context of time, can change in meaning. We all remember the economic boom of the Clint0n years. Everyone got real quiet while the numbers came in, and the money rolled freely. Everything was exploding in value and no one really knew why, or cared that much [...]

If you watch CNN and most other media outlets, this race is over. I’m not ready to go quite that far. However, if it is, I gotta wonder what we are electing. Obama just seems to collect baggage every day of late. Now we’re looking at credit card fraud, which I don’t think is enough [...]

Barack Obama’s milking the current financial “crisis” for everything it’s worth right now on tv. I finally had to give up even trying to listen. According to him, it’s basically time to admit defeat and gut the entire capitolist base of our economy and replace it with a pure socialist model. That would solve all [...]

Now, my peeps here know how I feel about Condi Rice. So, I think, smarting from the Obama/Hillary dustup, Anderson Cooper decided to try and turn the wheels on McCain by planting the seed of discontent in folks like me over McCain “snubbing” Condi in the manner of Obama snubbing Clinton.

Due to not really being terribly glued to the tv over this election, I gotta admit I have been fairly clueless to guessing VP picks. The media throws so many names out so fast, then criticizes the names they threw out themselves, and then writes off the names they threw out themselves. So, the whole [...]

Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters wonders how the John Edwards flap has affected the 2008 Presidential race: …the case can certainly be made that if the Edwards affair had gotten the press attention it deserved back in October when the National Enquirer first broke the story, the former senator would have been forced out of the [...]

That’s the teaser on CNN. Here’s some of the meat: A Democratic point man on the budget, Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota, blasted the administration for its “reckless fiscal policies,” blaming the president’s tax cuts for driving the government into deficit and saying Bush “will be remembered as the most fiscally irresponsible president in [...]

Scott Ott has been one of my favorite authors for quite some time. Here is yet another reason why: …..Sen. Obama, a man who aspires to be our commander in chief, tells us that a nation called Afghanistan is where this threat dwells. Yet, he says, it does not dwell in Iraq. He tells us [...]
