I think is is obvious that the participants in Beck’s Restoring Honor rally were nothing  but 100% peaceful, and demonstrated sincerely their support for their views. There was no demagoguery, no “hate speech”, no “racism”. Only a positive outpouring of a need to move the country “back to God.” The blogs and pundits will write […]

While on vacation in Vail I read in the Monday, August 9, 2010 edition of the Vail Daily a commentary by Butch Mazucca titled “Some simple solutions for U.S.” In the article he quotes an email about the “Congressional Reform Act of 2010.” A quick search brought up a petition with that title at the […]

Conservatives have to figure out a way to seize the narrative from the liberals. The way media is used to sway thought is to come up with some sound bite that seems to characterize either your own goals or the opposition. When such a sound bite gains traction, it no longer is relevant whether it […]

One would think from listening to many liberal pundits that anti-illegal immigration is the same as being anti-immigration. By this line of thinking being anti-illegal drugs is the same as being anti-drug. That is, all the contents of the corner drugstore should be banned, because illegal drugs should be banned. This is of course ludicrous. […]

Take a look at the Liberal philosophy. It seems based on the idea that the role of government is to perfect individuals. For example, “taxes should be collected from the public to be transferred to specific others for their better welfare.” So the individuals who are too “selfish” should be “perfected” by the government. Then […]

The left consistently shouts that conservatives “want the status quo” in health care. For example, see the discussion at FoxNews.com: Panel Discuss Obama-Baier Interview on Health Care Reform. I don’t know of any conservative voice that says that. Everybody wants health care reform. But intelligent health care reform. Not the monstrosity of government takeover and […]

For a long time I have been concerned about the unconscionable growth to the Federal deficit. The idea that we are spending money we don’t have. And what’s worse, so much is for things we don’t want or need. I was worried that it would hurt our children and grandchildren. Just as a junkie gives […]

When you hear the phrase “failed policies of the Bush administration”, one of the left’s favorite talking points, just fire back that it is the “failed policies of the Washington politicians.” As I have written before, the mortgage crisis was not Bush, but Dodd, Frank and Rangel. And I challenge you to point to a […]

Conservatives seem to me more versatile than a lot of the leftist spokespeople. I find many who have no trouble at all being able to be both “pro-immigrant” and “anti-illegal immigrant” at the same time. What a concept! So many leftists cannot distinguish the two stances. For them you are either “pro” or anti”. Thus […]
