    Global Warming, or not

    I'm surprised this had not already been posted. We need to keep working, as the United States has done since the 70's to reduce pollution. It would be nice if China and other countries would voluntarily help. Of course, we were lucky that the Senate, under Clinton, voted 95-0 to reject the...

    Dog Feces Left at Congresswoman's Office

    Dog Feces Left at Congresswoman's Office Good grief. I thought the humor would be a nice break. Both sides of the fence find her actions deplorable. One side for the action mention in the subject and the other side for her polluting and wasting fuel as she sped off in a car.

    Why is less than 100% a failure?

    I'm always amazed at this feat of logic. Here are some examples. We heard opponents of the Star Wars programs state that since a single missle could get through the defense system we should not build such a defense. Powell Says Border Walls Won't Work The topic reads "Powell Says Border...

    Liberal politicians again again to foreign countries for contributions

    Even though the article speaks about all Hispanics, legal and illegal, we all remember Francine Busby (Democratic candidate for California's 50th Congressional District) who said you don't have to have papers to vote. She later stated that she meant you don't have to be a citizen to get...

    Controlling the outcome of voters

    In college I thought electronic voting would be great! As a programmer I hate the idea of electronic voting. Still, this is cool. After America helped Chavez gain control of Venezuela I guess Chavez is repaying the favor. I wonder who the Communist party will support? Looking at today's...

    Hopefully, recent protests act as a wake up call

    Most have seen the protests. It is understandable why the "mainstream" media label these protests as being against "immigration." It is the same reason they call individuals who enter our (not other) country "undocumented workers." No facts to support this belief up but I suspect there...

    If Ophelia does major damage it is a lose/lose situation for Bush

    Apparently Ophelia is poised to do some serious damage and prompted evacuation orders. Now assuming the Governor accepts help from Bush and Fema and the Red Cross one of two things will happen. They will get prompt help. In this case the media will, again, proclaim Bush to be a racist...

    Is hurricane Katrina being used to push an agenda?

    We have seen how politically correct speech, lawsuits by HUD, threats from BATF, and individual lawsuits have been used to erode our right to free speech. We have seen how the right to defend ourselves is being outlawed. We have seen how owning guns is being outlawed. We have seen how...

    Ayaan Hirisi Ali

    An interesting read from Ayaan Hirisi Ali I particularly like the passage Of course the progressives have long tried to sway the minds of individuals by making honest debate taboo so it is nice when a victim of the progressive attitude points out that most liberals are "unwitting...
