Michael Silence had a piece yesterday for the Knoxville News Sentinel that I thought was very pertinent. A politician falls and the opposition pounces. But when it comes to the opposition, there’s nary a word out of its people when one of its own gets in trouble. And there’s not a better place to watch this [...]
Shortly before Sarah Palin was introduced as John McCain’s running mate for the 2008 election, I had heard rumors she was on a short list. Even after she was announced, I was excited about the Alaska Governor. She seemed to be conservative and add something exciting to the Republican ticket. That excitement quickly got old, [...]
…did Presidents start criticizing other Presidents? I don’t know that it happened before President Clinton criticizing President Bush. Now Mr. Obama is criticizing the former President. Then today Bush is criticizing Obama. I’m not commenting on the content. But current and past Presidents should not criticize other Presidents.
To get a guage on where all the Senators stand on the First Amendment, Sen. Jim DeMint is going to force a vote on a bill that would prohibit the Fairness Doctrine. “I’m glad President Obama finally confirmed his opposition to the Fairness Doctrine, which attacks the right of free speech on talk radio, but [...]
Joe Powell is asking for help on an unscientific survey, so I’ll do what I can. 1 — Do you have a preference for any one candidate in the current race for President of the U.S.? Please give a reason for your choice (or lack of one). At this point I like Huckabee, but I [...]
As most of you know, Benazir Bhutto, former Prime Minister of Pakistan and the first female PM in an Islamic state, was assassinated this morning, and al Qaeda is claiming responsibility. I am not going to cover the details of the actual event or the breaking news (Drudge is doing a great job of this, as [...]
The Lakota Sioux Indian tribes have declared that they “have renounced treaties and are withdrawing from the United States.” This has gone largely unnoticed over the holiday weekend, but I see this as an act of defiance that deserves swift action by the United States. And by swift action I don’t mean giving in to what [...]
Nathan Moore has a good commentary on poverty and taxes, where he actually looks at a couple other blog posts. Check it out. Poverty is not an effect of societal inequality, it is a sum of bad decisions. There is really not much argument as to what the causes of poverty are – if you [...]
According to Fred Thompson’s blog, he will announce via video on his website on September 6. The plan is Fred announcing September 6 by a webcast at www.imwithfred.com. Then Fred will head out on a five-day campaign tour through Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Florida before his homecoming in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. I think everyone [...]
Sarah at MooreThoughts has a great post about the say men should have in an abortion. I believe a husband/boyfriend/random sexual partner should have an equal opinion in determining whether or not a pregnancy is aborted. The baby shares an equal component of both parents’ DNA … it is their baby, not just her baby. [...]
