Why Fred Thompson?

Friday, June 29th, 2007

Before I get into this, I want to establish a couple of qualifiers. First, I like Fred Thompson. He seems to be a personable, likable guy. He doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously, and he gives the impression of being very confident in himself and his abilities.

More Media Bias Against Romney’s Religion

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Here’s one for the books. The Boston Globe is printing a series of articles called “The Making of Mitt Romney.” The first part is headlined “Mormon church obtained Vietnam draft deferrals for Romney, other missionaries.”

The Left’s War with America

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

I spent some time Sunday morning browsing the posts from the folks at blah3.com. Man, those guys have some real issues. There was one post with which I was particularly interested, entitled “Mommy, what’s a gulag?” I was interested to see what would cause someone to bring up the subject of the gulag in today’s [...]

Prosecutorial Misconduct

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

As you well know, Mike Nifong has been disbarred and a judge has ruled that he may be dismissed from his office immediately. I found it interesting that the judge would not let him remain in office for the last month he had planned to stay to wrap things up after resigning at the disbarment [...]

Watch this…

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

Some have called it prophetic. Others say it was a lucky guess. As for me, it marked the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union; Ronald Reagan knew exactly what he was doing.
The folks at Young America’s Foundation has provided the video of Ronald Reagan’s speech at the Brandenburg Gate. I would recommend it [...]

“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”

Friday, June 8th, 2007

It was 20 years ago this June 12th. I was just out of high school then. I remember watching the speech at the Brandenburg gate on television and the fall of the Berlin Wall and thinking that a new era of peace was being ushered in. Suddenly all my fears of nuclear war were fading, [...]

Why Christians are wrong about Mormons

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

Specifically, whether or not Mormons should be called Christians. Evangelical Christians or, more appropriately, Creedal Christians believe that Mormons cannot be Christians because Christianity is defined by the Creeds. Mormons do not accept the creeds, therefore Mormons are not Christians.

Separation of School and State

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

An interesting article appeared in The Spectrum newspaper in St. George on Monday. A radio talk show host named Bryan Hyde wrote, “Perhaps it’s time to consider a separation of school and state…”

Immigration Bill Dead

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

It appears that the Immigration Bill has been withdrawn. No precise word yet on what the reason was. Stay tuned.
Update (20:16 MDT): Hugh Hewitt reports that the Democrats are in tears over this defeat. Read his post here.
Update (21:45 MDT): Cloture vote allowing for full house vote fails, 45-50. It’s just as well, this bill [...]

Romney’s Critics

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

I read Hugh Hewitt’s blog critical of John McCain. Some of the comments posted there left me chagrined.
The media early on attempted to spin Mitt Romney as a flip-flopper, and some conservatives bought it. But it didn’t stick. Why? Because Romney effectively answered the charge and is a believable guy. Apparently he has had some [...]
