Jeremiah Wright’s bloated rants against the U.S. are disgusting, false, and scandalous (not to mention really bad news for a certain Senator). But they are not shocking. I am not surprised or amazed at all by the “reverend’s” words. All he did was regurgitate decades of textbook modern leftism. His diatribes are not extreme; they [...]

California’s recent appellate court ruling that stated rather concisely that parents have no constitutional right to educate their children at home has cause quite an uproar. Many homeschooling families in the Golden State and many others nationwide (well aware of California’s infamous “ripple effect” when it comes to social and legal movements) have expressed outrage, [...]

If you would like a textbook example of what I believe is wrong with the American environmentalist worldview, this article pretty much sums it up: The latest “eco- scandal” flight took place on February 9 after American was forced to cancel one of its four daily services from Chicago to London. While it was able [...]

More objective, helpful insight from FemiNazism, via Herr Steinem: “Suppose John McCain had been Joan McCain and Joan McCain had got captured, shot down and been a POW for eight years. [The media would ask], ‘What did you do wrong to get captured? What terrible things did you do while you were there as a [...]

The founder of National Review and one of conservatism’s most visible figures in the 20th century passed today at his home. As one who grown up enjoying the fruit of Bill Buckley’s labor for conservative ideas, I offer my condolences to his family, and my congratulations to Mr. Buckley for a job well done.

I propose a new TV ad featuring Bill Clinton, with an announcer bellowing, “You wouldn’t make it in Saudi Arabia.” On a more serious note, the name for the organization responsible for monitoring such “criminal” behavior could have been lifted right out of Orwell: The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of [...]

Modern feminism has, in general, two stated goals: To throw off patriarchal oppression of women, and to help women “self-actualize.” What this means in specific terms is hard to say, simply because most feminist organization’s websites read like a daily current events blog. Apparently, in order for a woman to be truly liberated, she has [...]

The heartbreaking news out of Northern Illinois University this afternoon is a solemn reminder of the depravity of man, the fragility of our own lives. Not much can be said, except to weep with those who weep. I offer thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims. With that said, I would like to [...]

Last week marked the 35th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, possibly the most divisive and harmful of all the US Supreme Court’s majority opinions. A few places gave the moment its due recognition, but most news sites and blogs skimmed right over it, instead covering the juicier and more galvanizing drama between presidential hopefuls. That [...]

One of the best reasons to avoid religion in campaigning for a public office is that anyone can do it. It takes no skill and even less time. America, contrary to the wishful thinking of some, is a nation of devoutly religious people. And in the age of information, candidates no longer have to open [...]

Huffington Post is reporting that New Hampshire will recount their primary votes on the 16th, responding to pressure from bloggers who noticed discrepancies in the final numbers. The questions revolve around the AccuVote optical scanning system, used by 111 of New Hampshire’s municipalities. The scanner, made by Premier Election Systems (formerly Diebold) was one of [...]

Rush Limbaugh has some high praise for Fred Thompson, and some pointed words about those who count him out: Good points all around. Thompson came out and fired, and, probably not expecting such a lively turnaround, his targets (mainly Huckabee) weren’t able to return competent fire. This doesn’t mean Thompson will win, or even that [...]

Just as I was starting to become a believer in the global warming camp (Louisville has had no snow and temperatures in the 60s in December), I find another reason to resist. Let me be clear first: I don’t necessarily think of Al Gore as a liar. It’s perfectly feasible in my mind that he [...]

Does it matter where a politician receives donations? Well, that answer could be yes or no. You see, ANYONE can do what they will with their money. This means that any person, regardless of how ignorant or false or offensive their beliefs may be, can give to whomever they chose. Most of the time their [...]

A “Rush” To Judgment
I was traveling quite a bit this week, and made the most of the mundane interstate periods by listening to talk radio. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage–these made for fine road companions. And as I was listening, I grew more and more frustrated.
