It looks like it's about time to drop another bomb in the waffle arsenal. Just remember, John Kerry shall be reffered to as Waffles. After all, it would be a tragedy to see the White House become the Waffle House. Now, normally, waffles are a good thing. Especially chocolate chip waffles. Or blueberry waffles. Or other kinds of tasty waffles. But not Kerry's waffles. They tend to leave a bad

In the Federalist newsletter for today, I came across this interesting quote: How can there possibly be liberty and justice for all, when, in the name of justice, people claim rights to income, food, housing, education, health care, transportation, ad infinitum? We can't. Positive rights to receive such things, absent an obligation to earn them, must violate others' liberty, by taking some of

Victor Davis Hanson, an author who I've recently discovered (somewhat late as it were) has a new column up at NRO. Looking for exact professed cooperation between an Islamic fascist and the rogue regime that finds such anti-Western violence useful is like proving that Mussolini, Tojo, and Hitler all coordinated their attacks and worked in some conspiratorial fashion — when in fact Japan had no

John "Waffles" Kerry has been making pronouncments about the economy for some time now, and while many of them sound quite promising on their face, they don't bear up to scrutiny. For example, let's look at his recent claims that he'll create 10 million new jobs in the first term of a Kerry Administration. Currently, we only have approximately 8 million or so unemployed in the labor pool.

Although I previously called for Kerry's excommunication, it seems that may not be necessary. From recent news, he has apparently already excommunicated himself, through allegiance to a rival to the Pope. In a statement earlier today, Kerry said, "I'm not a church spokesman. I'm a legislator running for president. My oath is to uphold the Constitution of the United States in my public life. My

There is something that I've constantly heard repeated, quite frequently by those who seem to view Western culture as inherently immoral or bad. It's that the Crusades were an inherently bad thing, that they were some sort of crime committed against Muslims, or any of a litany of other epithets. But why? What made the Crusades so awful?

Who watches the watchers? It's a valid question, even though its one no one cares to give much thought. In modern-day America, the politically correct answer is to say that the "people" watch the watchers. After all, we do elect them, observe them, and ultimately choose whether to keep them. In theory. In reality, though, how many of us actually watch? Less than half the country actually

I borrowed this excellent post from Right Wingin-it. After reading this post, go check out some of the other stuff there. Hannibal ad portas The Romans had a saying they would use to urge their children to hurry off to bed or to threaten them if they were not behaving . . ."Hannibal ad portas”. Hannibal is at the gates. An idle threat intended for only ancient Roman children? Or is it a call

I am stunned speechless. I just picked up this, courtesy of Emperor Misha. Gadhafi's son actually urged other Arab countries to support President Bush's efforts at promoting democracy in the Middle East. Furthermore, and this one is the shocker, he even praised Israel as an example of democracy. Seriously, I can't make this stuff up. You'll have to read it for yourself.

In a stunningly stupid course of action, Hamas openly stated that they would retalitate against Americans for the Israeli execution of Hamas's "spiritual" leader. For some reason or another, completely unknown to man (although I hear rumors that it goes by the name of the US Army), Hamas has backed off its threats against Americans, although they'll continue to try to attack Jews. Personally,

This November we have a choice. We can either elect a president who will continue to take the battle to the terrorists and do everything possible to prevent another attack before it happens or we can elect one who will try to appease the enemy, and in doing so, bring ruin upon us all. If you want the latter, quit reading. However, if you want strong, principled leadership, support George W.

We've all seen what happens when you give in to terrorism, as evidenced by the happenings in Spain. Rest assured that the same will happen if President Bush is not re-elected this fall. It's important to make sure that does not ever happen. To help prevent that, volunteer your time or donate your money to help keep principled leadership in the White House for another four years.

A recent commentor contested my assertion that the terrorists had won in Spain, and instead claimed that democracy had won. In a purely technical sense, yes, one could argue that to be the case. However, as anything more detailed than a cursory examination will show, democracy in this case was manipulated. Prior to the bombings, Prime Minister Aznar's party, which was supporting anti-terror

After the train bombings in Madrid brought about by Spain's support in the war against terror, the ruling party has been voted out and replaced by the Socialists, who will not be giving us too much support.

Although they were martyred for the cause of freedom, their deeds, their perseverence in the face of overwhelming odds, their belief in a free and independent Texas survived them. Please take a moment today to remember our victorious dead at the battle of the Alamo. Even though they lost there, the courage they

A judge in Texas has ruled against a group of gay and lesbian students who wanted to meet on a school campus. Judge Sam R.

It looks like Kerry's going to be the Democratic nominee for President.

As I'm sure most of you have probably heard, city officials in San Francisco are acting in contravention of California state law to give marriage licenses to same-sex couples (Fox News reports here).

Well, it looks as if the expected has happened and Edwards has won the South Carolina primary (based on exit polls). What does this mean for the Democratic race? First, it keeps Edwards in the game that much longer. If he'd lost in his own backyard, his campaign would have been finished for all intents and purposes. A victory gives him some momentum. Second, it helps to diminish Clark's

No, not those shenanigans. The Janet Jackson striptease has been getting enough airplay that I don't need to bother commenting on it. What I want to bitch about is Kid Rock's contemptible appearance wearing an American flag. I don't mean an article of clothing in the design of an American flag, I mean the real thing. As far as I could tell, it looked like the flag simply had a slit cut in the

The former top U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq has basically come out and said that the weapons we thought were there, aren't. (Full story here) However, he also blames the failure not on any pressure out of the Administration (so you can take that accusation and shove it, Idiotarians) but on a widespread failure of the U.S. intelligence gathering system. This is a problem that goes deeper than

For any of you who haven't gotten involved with the President's re-election campaign yet, what are you waiting for? The key to victory this November is active, dedicated volunteers at the grassroots...volunteers like you. Take the opportunity to volunteer or donate, and if you already do, recruit someone else. The President is depending on us; let's not let him down. While you're at it, check out

Well, its on its way there, anyway. Recently, the UCA College Republicans (Chair? Yours truly.) created a flyer for a meeting that was a near-perfect copy of the ones used by the Young Democrats (except it looked better with an elephant instead of an ass). Now, the predictable freshman who seems to be their spokesperson is writing a whiny editorial. This isn't the first controversy over

Okay, having looked into my crystal ball, here are my predictions for the New Hampshire primary. Dean and Kerry will finish in either a tie or within one or two points of each other. Edwards will take third place, pulling ahead of Clark. Lieberman will have a decent, although not fantastic showing. Finally, Sharpton will blame his poor showing on the racism of the white people in New

Antonin Scalia, apparently. As he predicted when the Texas anti-sodomy statute was struck down, a man in Utah is now challenging the ban on polygamy. I'm not going to comment too much, other than providing this link. However, I still don't understand why a man would want more than one wife, when that brings with it more than one mother in law. *shudder*

Yeah, you read that right. That's what school officials in Omaha, Nebraska told an African student who was nominated for Westside High School's "Distinguished African American Student Award." (Fox News reports here) What was the student's crime? Well, he's from South Africa. That's right, he's a white African. However, in America, you can only be "African-American" if you're black. Just to

After talking with a friend of mine from Macedonia today, I found out that Slobodan Milosevic was elected to the Serbian Parliament (I commented on his campaign earlier, but hadn't heard about the actual election results). It turns out that the party that unseated him is going to be forced to form a coalition with his own party, which is nothing less than a recipe for disaster. His return to

In case my loyal sheep aren't reading the Blogs for Bush site, I decided to list a few links to some recent stories of theirs. Read them and comment.

According to a report on Fox News, the poor in America may actually be doing better than quite a few Europeans. According to a recent study by the Heritage Foundation, 46 percent of the technically "poor" live in their own homes, most with more living space than the average person in Paris, London or Vienna. While 73 percent own at least one car, 30 percent own two or more, and 76 percent have

...the members of the Coalition of the Willing are not real countries. Maureen Dowd of Pravda-on-the-Hudson (thank you Commissar for that term), has described our coalition partners as: a gaggle of poodles and lackeys. How charming. You can read the rest of her infantile, rambling article here (registration required), but why waste time on that?

Fox News has a nice round-up of all the things the Dems left out of their statements during the debate tonight. Just to give the highlights: Dean ...stated that 60 percent of taxpayers only got $304 on average from Bush's tax cuts Clark Wesley Clark left a few things out Thursday when he defended his Democratic credentials; namely, the Republicans he's supported for president. Kerry ...
