I am tired of the Left and Right tip-toeing around Kerry’s “war hero” status. What honorable deeds he may have performed does not give him a get-out-of-jail-free card or the right to betray the troops.
For all that he supposedly did and saw, he is worse than the war protestor that’d never seen combat. […]

The NY Post confirms the account of two partisan Dems walking out on their 9/11 Commission interview of President Bush. They have no shame in their display of disrespect toward President Bush.
These two have also proven any results from the 9/11 Commission will be worthless partisan drivel.

It’s nice to know our Federal agents are so well trained in firearms safety.

While spineless Canada cavs to homosexuals by declaring the Bible “hate speach” we see real hate speach coming claiming victim status. Sadly, a vision of things to come in America.

After the President endorsed Specter Specter is distancing himself from President Bush.
“I think it’s very important to focus on what President Bush wants,” said Sen. Arlen Specter, the liberal Republican from Pennsylvania.
To all you conservatives who think you can befriend an liberal and not get bitten on the backside by it, think again.

In response to questions from students a teacher had written up a checklist to assist students in choosing a political party. But it seems some liberal parents don’t like anyone to point out what their positions actually are, especially to their children. But when you take the sum total of the Dem’s positions it’s […]

WALK OUT: 9/11 COMMISSIONERS BOB KERREY AND LEE HAMILTON LEAVE IN MIDDLE OF BUSH/CHENEY TESTIMONY
A meeting that both the White House and the 9/11 commission had billed as historic… the Oval Office session began at 9:30 a.m. and ended at 12:40 p.m., and two Democrat commission members — Lee […]

So maybe my hopes of replacing Dick Lugar with a conservative in the future were premature. The conservatives in Pa. cannot get rid of such an obvious RINO as Specter and Lugar is even more popular at home.

First we have to get rid of Evan Bayh. But the Philadelphia Republican primaries may be a vision of things to come for Dick Lugar? One can only hope…

It looks like operations in Iraq are runningmore efficiently than at home. Only 20% kickbacks? In the US it’s 90% to bearuacracy…. At least the Iraqi kickbacks are spent in their community to spur further economic growth.

Was this all not hashed out a couple of months ago with a release of President Bush’s guard service records? Really it’s not a surprise though as Kerry cannot find an issue he hasn’t already flipped on at least 3 times so he’s back to using distraction by demandind Bush, yet again, prove […]

Sometimes I read a news story and just go DUH! This is one of those stories, howThe State Department is undermining President Bush to the point of actually working toward his defeat in November.
Now I have some grudging respect for Colin Powel, but not a lot. Since President Bush came to office Sec. Powel […]

“We demand entire freedom of action and then expect the government in some miraculous way to save us from the consequences of our own acts…. Self-government means self-reliance.”

After a couple of weeks lovefest with the WordPress software I’ve found a shortcoming versus Moveable Type. There isn’t a “Preview” to assist reviewing a post before publishing. A minor shortcoming to be sure as no one could drag me back to MT’s perpetual rebuild hell.

Since when does the green UN want to save people? The UN wants to spend money on expensive and unproven Atomic Technology to Fight Malaria Mosquitos. DDT was incredibly cheap to produce which is why it was so heavily and effectively used.
Today millions die annually in Africa and Asia due to the […]

One of the advantages of an occassional rainy Saturday afternoon is time to persue an abstract thought. Though my FALs are well documented my love of John Browning’s 1911 often takes second chair in the galleries. So I figured it was time to get at least a few images of 1911’s. The full […]

School vouchers and charter schools (hereby simply “vouchers”) are being “sold” and put into place in many cities and municipalities. On the surface they seem an answer to the almost totalitarian stranglehold the NEA and Dept. of Eduction have on public education in America today.
But public education is in such shambles the snake-oil politicians have […]

My hats off to Clayton Cramer for his well documented article offering unrefutable evidence that gun control is racism.

Mozilla and it’s sub-projects continue to amaze me. The Jjavascript console, javascript debugger and now Chris Pederick’s webdeveloper extensions. Once installed this set of extensions provides toolbar access to view table and block layouts, document outlines, turn images on/off, form info, validate the doctype and much more.
I think what I’ll find the […]

“If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you and may posterity forget that ye were our […]

The New American is running a piece on the many problems with No Child Left Behind. Supporting this was one of a few major gaffs made by President Bush and the article clearly spells out why.
But the other notion the article spells out though does not say outright is that the NEA, the […]

Andy Oram over on O’Reilly’s developer blogs has some interesting observations on MySQL and other happenings at the 2004 MySQL Users Conference. MySQL basically came up from nowhere as a sort of defacto database engine for light and medium weight web applications. And the way it did that wasn’t by being the biggest, badest, […]

My first encounter with Network Solutions was back around 1994. Though they have had more then their share of problems over the years I’ve stuck with their service for my and my customers domain registration needs. In the grand scheme of things a $15-20 per year difference in domain registration fees is very little to […]

The Communists are miffed at President Bushs choice of Ambassador to Iraq, John Negroponte.
The experience he does have, however, prepares him for directing the suppression of the growing Iraqi resistance to US occupation. He has an intimate familiarity with mass killing, covert operations and death squads. Negroponte’s “experience and skill” lie not in […]

The “world economy” has been in the toilet for years but now it looks like it’s starting to finally rebound.
The IMF projected 4.6 percent growth for the United States this year, 3.4 percent for Japan (the highest rate in Japan since 1996), 1.7 percent for the 12 nations that share the euro currency, 8.5 […]
