When I saw the headline Hastert Deals Blow to Immigration Bill I was afraid he’d caved somehow. The Senate bill is horrid which is probably why the media brands its being slowed as a “blow”. I would rather see the whole thing go down than a compromise that gets anywhere near the Senate version.
I’ve read about this a few times but the WND article carries some additional information I’d not yet seen. Anyone who wonders why Bush opposes his own base to refuse to secure our borders has only to read about the SPP agreement to understand why. And as much as the partisan bickering goes on there [...]
An excellent essay on why technology adventurers do it in America. There are advantages to being a unilateral super power especially when, as they say in business, you only have to do it better than your competitors. Because no one does it perfectly. America is often a shining example of good intentionions getting in the [...]
OK, this is going to be difficult to say in a delicate and circumspect way but here it goes…. A Judge in Reno is sniped in his office and “He is conscious and talking with his family,” First and foremost I hope they 1) nail the assassin’s hide to the courtroom wall, and 2) the [...]
Does no one else see the irony in proposing a soda tax because it might prevent obesity in kids yet they promote teen sex guides which might increase sexually transmitted diseases?

Why would an “environmental champion” back the sale of a car made in a non-Kyoto country in a Kyoto country? Even more interestingly Soros is showing his disregard for intellectual property, something his [...]
If you love fireworks then Wednesday night might be a good night to watch Leno when Ann Coulter will square off with George Carlin. I should bring my Ann Coulter doll home to watch it with me….
I am frequently asked why I drive so far, daily for over 6 years. Usually I answer with something about crowding, about being able to shoot, about privacy back in the woods.. But now I’ve discovered that a guy named Alton Lindsey wrote the answer for me in 1969 and neglected to tell me! The [...]
Dutch pedophiles have become so emboldened that they are actually creating their own political party (more on News Busters). Specifically they’re wanting to lower the age of consent – imagine that? Isn’t that like safe crackers demading a limit on the complexity of the safe mechanism? Or computer hackers demanding a ban on the use [...]
Gary Varvel hits one out of the park in his posting Rage Has a New Name. And anyone who calls Gary’s point of view intolerant only has to read the comments posted below his entry to see the opposition quickly resort to name calling, questioning Gary’s intelligence and insistence that because Gary doesn’t have a [...]
