Evolving standards of dispassionate scientificness

May 5th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Something that’s been intriguing to me of late (here, here and at other times when Evolution has come up as a debate topic) is how obviously the issue of Evolution goes way deeper than science with Lefties. As a result, their credibility suffers and their claims lack traction . . . a majority of […]

Tasty AND nutritious

March 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Have I mentioned how fun it is to watch the Clinton Machine lead the way in the Democrat Circular Firing Squad?
But the not-stopping-anytime-soon Democratic primary contest also provides the valuable service of popping the bubble (deflating the hot air balloon?) of any potential Obama candidacy, and it very well may hand Republicans a Hillary nomination. […]

What is “fiscal conservatism”?

February 7th, 2008 · No Comments

I went to the Mike Huckabee campaign blog Mike Huckabee for President - Blogs - Romney is leaving race… to see what they were saying about Romney’s departure, and for some reason, this comment jumped off the page (By the way, the campaign has officially said next to nothing about Romney’s decision, but there are […]

Takes one to know one . . . or maybe not

February 6th, 2008 · No Comments

Jon Wright at mushin no shin is peeved at the GOP’s primary rhetoric. He posits (”On The Subject of the Day…”) that there is no consensus among members of the GOP (or among members in the more Conservative party). Wright writes:
“I keep hearing this dialog about who is the “real conservative” along with […]

Who’s hurting the Reagan Coalition?

January 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

This story from Orlando (Mike Huckabee for President - Newsroom) is an example of Mike Huckabee’s seemingly unique abilities (efforts?) to appeal to what used to be called “Reagan Democrats.” For the first time in its 119-year history, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workders is “endorsing” a Republican primary candidate.
I’m not sure […]

Hey Haynes, who you calling an “extremist”?

January 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

State Senator Joe Haynes (Democrat from Nashville) issued a press release today calling the Senators sponsoring SJR-127 “extremists.” He also called the senators “out of touch with the opinion of a majority of Tennesseans.” Hmmm.
SJR-127 is a proposed Constitutional Amendment to clarify that what is not in the Tennessee Constitution (the right of […]

Kickin’ the snot out of that strawman

January 16th, 2008 · No Comments

Writer Jeffrey Lord has a rambling, bullying op/ed at The American Spectator On-line about some Mike Huckabee statements in reference to American corporate greed as reflected in CEO salaries. I say “bullying” (and “rambling”) because Lord spends way too much of the piece beating up on a strawman . . . perhaps he’s actually […]

Romney’s Federalism

December 31st, 2007 · No Comments

Alex Harris has an enlightening post about recent statements by Mitt Romney concerning ENDA–the so-called “Employment Non-Discrimination Act,” which generally refers to a Federal effort to include “actual or perceived” sexual “orientation” as a protected characteristic in employment law. Here’s the article at race42008.com
Russert asked Romney if he still supported ENDA. Romney replied that […]

Friendly Fire on Huckabee

December 31st, 2007 · 18 Comments

As everyone has probably figured out by now, there seems to be a bit of “friendly fire” between Ned Williams and myself over the candidacy of Mike Huckabee for the Presidency. Ned is somewhat of a Huckabee apologist-though I think now that the good Governor is a frontrunner and all of his faults are being exposed, Brother Ned is […]

Huckapologee-a

December 31st, 2007 · 3 Comments

As I said in a comment (below) I may be a little like the dog who caught the car in regards to my support of Mike Huckabee. Early in this primary process I was willing to give props to Huckabee when others were dismissing or ignoring him simply because he seemed like too much […]
