“Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.”
–Joseph Story

Less than a couple of weeks and already I’m reaping the rewards of switching to WordPress. Comments moderation means no more blog spam! There has also been a general reduction in blogspam attempts since switching from Moveable Type. Up until the weekend I switched software I was receiving 15-30 blogspams a week. My switch was […]

It is unfortunate that Rep Hostettler really put his foot in it..
I’m impressed that Rep. John Hostettler has his permit and actually carries a firearm when in the state. And remember that if the Rep had remembered to dump his ammo it is perfectly legal for him to put the pistol in his […]

“Islam is a religion in which Allah requires you to send your son to die for him. Christianity is a faith in which God sent His Son to die for you.”

Some are aware the the company I work for is preparing to move into a new building in the coming couple of months. I’ve started a pictorial journal in The New Building gallery.

They’re equally adept at creating and pushing wild claims in their revisionist history texts. Of course the Left is a little ahead since they’re up to rewriting Vietnam. Oh, I’m sorry… “Nixon’s War” (gag).

That is the real message when she says she would not accept VP slot. No, she’ll bide her time to 2008 when all the Republicans have is Jeb and RINO McCain.
Even money Hoosier native Senator Evan Bayh will be the VP choice. Hows that for giving you indigestion…. “Clinton/Bayh 2008″
Maybe if Evan […]

If President Bush wants truely wants to spur economic growth he should star by reigning in the EPA bureaucrats. The economic impact that will be incurred for such a fractional percentage could well devastate some of these counties.
I know that some of the listed counties here in Indiana have miniscule populations compared to their […]

Debunking Michael Moore’s idiocy is always great sport because Michael is such a large target with a larger mouth. But Lee over at Right-Thinking just went to the head of the class.
Moore should be regulated by the EPA as hazardous waste.

They’re still trying to figure out why we’re laughing at their user manuals while we’ve moved on to laughing at their newspaper headlines.

That’s just wong.

Ok, the site is on the new server running new software for both the blog and the photo gallery. There will be some switch over related jitters especially if you’re browsing a bulletin board I’ve linked pictures on. These links will slowly get edited and the image links reestablished.
In the meantime if you’ve […]

“While America’s military strength is important, let me add here that I have always maintained that the struggle now going on for the world will never be decided by bombs or rockets, by armies or military might. The real crisis we face today is a spiritual one; at root, it is a test of moral […]

I am firmly of the opinion that “black hat” hackers (aka “crackers”) should go before a firing squad. Participation in the firing squad would be on a volunteer basis and open to any and all sysadmins.
But there is a reason that while I feel that way 95% of the time I’d never want to […]

Now that grass-roots organizations can no longer advertise or campaign for their prefered candidates the News Media and Hollywood have take up the task of “educating” the public to their way of thinking.
Tell me Sen. McCain, Sen. Feingold, President Bush and US Supremes how is the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform a good thing? […]

Reagan’s Ambassador to the U.N. Jeane Kirkpatrick is telling the Senate about the horrific Law Of the Sea Treaty and why it applies not only over and under the water but in the air above the seas.

I start almost every day with a glass of juice but it looks like I have been drinking the wrong juice! I guess my Bro was right all these years….

There is an interesting read on America, Guns & Early American Christians over at FrontPage Magazine.
An intesting and informative read.

Wow. Again… Wow.
There are few people I consider a “class act”. Condi Rice is one of them.

Eric dropped me a note to let me know he’s posted a video of Kerry defending al-Sadr (the guy behind the insurgency in Iraq that’s killed so many Americans and Allies over the past week) as a “legitimate voice” of opposition to our presence in Iraq.

A single American is guilt of all the sins of the US Government where ever that American is in the world. That is at least how our enemies see Americans and why they target Americans from the Phillipines to Malaysia to New York City.
But in Germany being a member of the terror group isn’t […]

Jennifer Freeman of Liberty Belles has written a nice primer on the “Assault Weapons” Scam. These ladies have a nice website which needs added to my lower-left links list.

While poking around the net I ran across a set of Massad Ayoob’s articles available online. If you don’t know who Ayoob its time to find out.

The Regent College Bookstore in Canada has decided to not sell the 12th book of the Left Behind series, “Glorious Appearing”, released this week.
While the series is as theologically accurate as Mel’s The Passion (that is not a complement folks) the bookstore isn’t citing passage and verse where the books go astray as would […]

“Not until I went into the Churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the greatness and the genius of America. America is good. And if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”
