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
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
I spent some time Sunday morning browsing the posts from the folks at blah3.com. Man, those guys have some real issues.

Prosecutorial Misconduct
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…
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.

Romney’s Critics
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 [...]
