Tony Snow will be remembered as President Bush's press secretary. Tony Snow was a media icon long before he took on the press for the President. Tony. Snow was one of Fox Cable News and The Washington News Corps prominent figures.

Or for those unfamiliar with the term [ying and yang], every negative has a positive effect on all it encompass That positive isn't always something good. Many things the so called experts want to change are in fact better for the enviroment and the publics benefit than what replaces them. It's seem...

Neither John McCain nor Barack Obama as president can move congress in any direction except the way they chose. The definition of separate but equal is totally meaningless to most congress persons these days. Congress is well on the way to establishing themselves as the superpower of American Po...

I must have been daydreaming these past 50 years, I woke up this morning and my America was no where to be found. What I did find was a presidential race out of control. Presidential candidates were promising the votes things they have no way of delivering, let alone pay for. Much of what they p...

How long will John McCain stay on the wrong side of the issues? Over 70% of the public want the moratorium on off shore and Alaska drilling lifted. Green has become an advertising gimmick and no longer has any credibility with the majority of the public.
Green is nothing more than PC run a-muc...

With the increases in oil prices global warming isn't nearly as important to most people as it had been in the past. Global warming has always been one of those Hollywood designer issues the media and politicians picked up on. The only true proponents of global warming were those people who want...

Very little of whats being written about oil is fact, more of the facts aren't being written, much is being covered but not the true story. First oil is as essential to our existence on this planet as water or air. Oil is the foundation of over 60 % of all of todays manufactured products. Gasol...

The last six months of any presidents administration are particularly difficult. Not only does the opposition party dig up all the dirt previously swept under the rug. Some candidates from his own party turn on him as well. Little things that had been overshadowed by bigger things are now brough...

In 1948 Cuba was paradise in the Caribbean. There was no equal to the night life in Havana, day life was equally exciting. There was Un atmosphire del casco antiguo de España twenty four hours a day. Ernest Hemingway added an element of romance to Havana as it's most flamboyant resident. He was work...
June 15, 2008
There was a time when politicians knew more about how the government bureaucracy worked than just how to get re-elected. Congress has encroached into every phase of American life and the economy, many times unjustly and with dire consequences, they've exceeded their constitutional authority. Th...

The currents Presidential Candidates seem to think it's the governments job to determine how it's citizens should live and act. It's governments job to serve and protect not to determine public moral and economic standards [or lack of.] Government bureaucrats both elected and appointed have fou...

There are those whose entire lives are wrapped up in a quest to control the lives of others one way or another. At the beginning of the 20th century it was socialism and communism. Now in the beginning of the 21st century it's environmentalism. By one ruse or another they are out to control the ...

I must admit it's been nearly half a century since I attended University. I have a feeling those classes we once referred to as "Conspiracy 101" still exist. The classes where the instructor stands before the class and with his or her slightly left of center approach to the constitution explain ...

The thought of Barrack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi or John McCain in charge of the nation's financial affairs is beyond frightening it's something that could set America back [as we know it] seventy years to the days of "FDR's New Deal." Not one of these persons has ever been required to b...

I´m a disgruntled Conservative Republican who´s mad as hell
The Republican congress has relinquished their right to the conservative label Ronald Reagan worked so hard to create for them. When Newt Gingrich was expelled as Speaker from the House of Representatives Regan conservatism followed h...

There seems to be a great deal of controversy over the government [as opposed to the Bush] stimulus checks that are being distributed to tax payers. The general feeling is the pre-event hype seems to have over inflated the actual value of the gift. It´s a lot like Christmas presents, as we...

I´m sure John McCain is a nice man and loves his country. But does he have what it´s going to take to convince Republicans across this country he has what it takes to turn the selling out the conservative party principles by Republican Presidents and Congressmen after Ronald Reagan dedicated so mu...

American politicians are leading the charge discrediting petroleum products from being one of the necessities for mans existence on this planet.

The left is a tad-bit upset Democratic presidential candidates are showing up on Fox Cable News. Chris Wallace interviewed Barack Obama and was able to finally extract some answers not heretofore heard from candidate Obama. Obama seemed to have very different answers regarding the War in Iraq th...

Traditionally a presidential candidate who loses finds someone to blame, a campaign manager a vice presidential running mate. Unfair media coverage is always a scapegoat regardless how friendly they were. Losing candidates never seem to understand it wasn´t them, [everyone else] it was the candidate...

Democrats have a difficult decision to make in the coming weeks, who to select as their nominee for president. There´s very little that [isn´t] known about Hillary Clinton. There´s very little that [is] known about Barack Obama. Obama claims he represents change but he has yet ...
April 17, 2008
Hillary Clinton seems determined to hang in there until the last vote´s counted or until Obama sinks himself with an unforgivable elitist comment.
Hillary like Obama is one of those eastern elitists, the difference is she´s lived in the Ozarks long enough to know how to cover her H...

When visiting China your individual rights may not be what you expect, being an American in a foreign land doesn´t mean you take your United States Constitutional rights with you. Anyone visiting China during the Olympic festivities should be aware it doesn´t mean the rules observed by the Chinese...

We need to convince Condoleezza Rice her country still needs her services. She´s the most formidable candidate McCain could choose for a vice presidential running mate. We need to convince McCain the country needs Dr. Rice more than he needs to satisfy his political obligations. It´s...
April 07, 2008
A few weeks ago I´d suggested Joe Lieberman as John McCain´s choice for Vice President. Someone come up with an even better idea, Condoleezza Rice is being promoted as a Vice Presidential choice, That would give the Republican ticket with both balls and brains, something that´s going to be very mu...

There´s a cretin joy in living three quarters of a century [plus], it´s something not everyone can manage to do. There are exceptions of course there´s a lady in Detroit who just turned 113 and is still active. I have a sister kicking down the doors leading to 90. I have anothe...

If America´s headed in the wrong direction who will show it the right way? Who can point and say this is what needs to be done? Everyday the publics told reams of bad news, the media seems to believe printing anything positive about life in America will surely send them to hell before the...

The 2008 presidential primaries are perhaps the most entertaining in years. The public hasn´t seen this degree of comedy since Jimmy Carter ran for his second bit at the apple. It´ll be interesting to see how the DNC turns a decade of failure into success. It can happen and has a v...
March 28, 2008
Is John McCain just sunning himself while the two democrats pile dirt on each other? That certainly seems to be the case, in sports this would be what is called an advantage for McCain. There´s little need for him to campaign at this point. McCain could climb Mount Everest or rob a bank an...
March 24, 2008
The similarities between these two senators is astounding, neither seems to subscribe to less than the fundamental beliefs of their political parties. They´re neither truly liberal nor conservative regardless of what they say on a campaign trail. This is a combination that would give fits ...

Farmers are worrying where their going to find labors to plant, care for and harvest their crops this coming year. Without a guest worker program allowing Hispanics in the country they are unlikely to find workers willing to do the back breaking labor involved in agriculture. It has been suggest...

There´s no question Barack Obama is getting more than his share of positive publicity from the Media. Hillary on the other hand is getting screwed by the media. Nearly every picture published makes Hillary look like Godzilla with a toothache, this can´t be coincidence. One year ago Hillary was the M...

I get a lot of mail from various Republican identities most of it is from the senate since I´m a member of one of their political clubs. Every once in a while I get a letter from the President. They all start about the same, "Hi Ken this is George, I just wanted to drop you a line thanking you for y...

The controversy still rages over what kind of fuel we will use to power the engines of industry and transportation. It´s beginning to look as though the argument over global warming is running out of steam if this winter is an example. Scientists with more than University degrees in libera...
March 04, 2008
McCain is between a rock and a brick wall regardless who wins the Democratic nomination. Anything anyone even remotely associated with his campaign says something that can be construed as anti-black or anti-feminist and McCain will be called on the Media´s carpet to explain. Let´s ho...
February 27, 2008
Will Barack Obama be shielded by the media´s fear of allegations of racism if they openly report all the facts that may come up about his past or present associates and inappropriate behavior? Obama has the endorsement of a racist Muslim clergyman Louis Farrakhan, which is akin to John McC...

Is There To Much Media Speculation For Americas own Good?
Is the media here to report the news or create the news? There´s an article coming up on the Drudge Report asking if John McCain´s birth in a military hospital in the Canal Zone, [Panama] disqualifies him as a presidential ...
February 26, 2008
What do political polls tell us about a candidate? They´re telling us 2,000 people or less are deciding which way the voters will decide on the candidates months before they´ve made up their minds on who to vote for. The question is do polls follow the trends or do trends follow the ...

To Barack Obama Success Is Never Painless
Hillary Clinton has reached the fork in the road when its time to make a decision. Does she hopelessly continue with her quest for the presidency praying for a miracle or does she gracefully bow to Barack Obama. It´s been a long time since there´s been...
February 09, 2008
Since Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney pulled out of the race I´m being inundated with questions regarding McCain´s possibilities of becoming the winner in the presidential race. Most who´ve contacted me are conservatives who have serious doubts about Senator McCain´s Republ...
February 07, 2008
Why would a man spend 100 million dollars of his own money to save this country from a socialist run government when the public seems to want it that way? The attractive candidates seem to be Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Barrack Obama and Mike Huckabee all with abusive taxing and obtrusive big...
February 06, 2008
I´ve voted for Republican Presidents for the past 50 years, I can not in clear conscience vote for John McCain. To me John McCain is the epitome of what liberal Democrats stand for, which is nothing. The only difference between John McCain and Hillary Clinton is the size of their jockstrap...
February 03, 2008
John McCain and Russ Feingold, after years of failure were finally able to get legislation passed limiting the individuals right to contribute to their favorite candidate. Not only was the public´s financial contribution limited their right to vocally support a candidate was severely limit...
January 29, 2008
John McCain isn´t the choice of most Republicans he´s been a maverick [liberal] for to long for GOP members to trust him. He can claim all sorts of conservative credentials as the campaign moves forward, however his record says otherwise. His most egregious legislative debacle has be...
January 28, 2008
In his State of the Union address the president didn´t waver from his stated goals, he certainly didn´t act like a lame duck president. It seemed more like a state of congress address than of the nation. Most of the president´s words were addressed to congress and what they can...
January 27, 2008
For years Bill Clinton has taken pride in the presumption he was Americas first black president. Barrack Obama comes along a man who isn´t really black as we know blacks and steals Bill Clintons thunder, I ask you is that fair after Bill Clinton worked so hard to earn the title?
It see...

There´s nothing stimulating about the government barrowing money from our grandchildren to give to people who are going to spend it at Wal Mart buying junk made in China. This proposed stimulus package is nothing short of a tax refund for people who don´t pay taxes. It´s actual...
January 25, 2008
How do I know this, because the polls tell me so? The media´s championing their favorite John Mc Cain and so far the media and the pollsters haven´t had that much success with their predictions. So far Mitt Romney is the only candidate who´s won more than one state caucus / pri...
January 22, 2008
His intellect, wit and wisdom will be missed!
Fred Thompson brought a cretin statesmanship to the 2008 presidential campaign the rest of the candidates lacked. Perhaps that´s why he didn´t gain any serious traction. His wisdom was beyond the comprehension of the average voter and far beyond that ...
January 21, 2008
Senator Clinton laid out her proposals for what she believes to be the governments roll in controlling the markets as well as public habits. It´s her contention government can do a better job than private business in growing the economy. Senator Clinton thinks the middle class and the supposed under...
January 20, 2008
Time and time again the polls are proving to be wrong and yet the media clings to them as though they were a crystal ball. After the first caucus in Iowa the MSM choose Huckabee and Obama as the nominees. The media pundits as much as suggested the rest of the candidates could all go home. Indecisi...
January 07, 2008
The last two Republican debates finally offered the voters a look at the candidates as they are [sans] the You Tube foolishness. The debate was periodically laced with sarcastic innuendo otherwise they were very informative for the first time in this campaign.
Fred Thompson as it turned out w...

Hillary Clinton has never been know as a shrinking violet, however she’s never faced a situation like this before. Hillary began a serious run for the presidency the day Bill was sworn into office of president the first time. She has been both overt and covert in her consistent campaign pushing ...
January 06, 2008
The caucus process isn’t the way to select a presidential candidate. Standing in the four corners of a school gymnasium raising hands doesn’t seem very presidential. If a particular candidate doesn’t get a specific numbers of votes it’s my understanding those votes can be bartered to another candida...

The CPC [The Chinese Peoples Communist Party] aka PRC [Peoples Republic of China] took control of the mainland Chinese government under the leadership of Mao Zedong in 1949. China is a country of many cultures, languages and political beliefs. Chairman Mao held the country together by bruit forc...
December 31, 2007
It’s difficult to determine if the 2008 presidential election process is more like Jeopardy or a Miss America contest. In either case the questions and answers are only ask and given for there entertainment value. Most voters see very little value in what goes on in the primary campaigns. Primar...
December 30, 2007
If Fred Thompson is nothing else he’s honest, or at least as honest as politics will allow one man to be. Presidential candidates through necessity are forced to make promises they know they can’t keep. Occasionally a candidate will say something in an unguarded moment being totally frank with his...
December 29, 2007
I just posted an article suggesting Republicans were in trouble. My e-mil box is full of responses from supporters of various Republican candidates. The most notable were those supporting Fred Thompson. I’m a Red States Voter living in a Blue State. We haven’t heard much about Fred in these part...
December 29, 2007
The only thing the Media seems to be interested in on the Republican side of the campaign is Romney’s Mormon religion and Huckabee dancing around the edges of his religion. Seventeen Mormons sit in congress the leader of the Senate Harry Reid is Mormon. The Mormon religion dates back to the 1830...
December 28, 2007
This is what one of my liberal friends was arguing at a recent dinner I attended. My suggestion there were many minorities yet to take their turn at being president fell of deft ears. I made the decision to sit back and absorb the conversation without comment. The general argument was based enti...

The fear of global warming may be having some dire consequences. It’s difficult to satisfy mans demands and accommodate nature at the same time. If man has learned nothing more he should have learned he can’t always push nature in a desired direction. There are many special interest groups all ...
December 24, 2007
I’m sure the statement Hillary Clinton made at the Manchester YWCA was made in the heat of the moment. “Elect me and oil prices will instantly drop!” Her comments were based on the assumption she would scare the oil producing nations with the threat of America becoming oil independent with her ...
December 10, 2007
Many have always believed the Liberal Media bias has been vastly over stated. Given the opportunity the Media will as quickly destroy a Democrat as a Republican. The Media delights in sensationalism if they can turn a silk purse into a sows ear they’re elated. And that’s very much the way they repor...
December 04, 2007
If I were Hillary I would be very nervous, half the Bush administration officials are behind her and the other half is touting Barrack Obama. If I were the Democrats I would be worried. After seven years telling the public what a bunch of buffoons these people are and now to have the Bush Boys i...

Is Hillary’s run for the Whitehouse a backdoor for a third term as president for Bill?
We are witnessing the light weight fight of the 21st century. In one corner we have Hillary [it takes a village] Clinton and in the other corner we have Barrack [I am the village] Obama. They’ve been told...

I often question the rational of perfectly normal people who have some very strange ways of justifying some rather bazaar practices. I will start with abortion. I believe abortion is murder by any standard and should be treated as such. Even though the majority of people may disagree with me I h...
November 21, 2007
Fred Thompson was doing much better as a non-presidential candidate than he is as an active candidate. To say he’s fallen short of his supporters expectations is an understatement. The candidate who insists on being home every night to tuck the kids in bed may be admirable, it isn’t going to go ...
November 18, 2007
The Democratic presidential debates are beginning to look like a kindergarten finger painting contest where every child gets a first place trophy. Each of the candidates agreed with the polls that were released earlier in the day. The only looser was the Bush Administration. As usual all those t...
November 11, 2007
Hillary has a propensity toward creating her own truths as she needs them. What was an absolute truth yesterday may not be today as far as Hillary’s concerned. Hillary watchers have known this for as long as she’s been in the public’s eye. There are those in politics who view truth entirely dif...
November 05, 2007
Charley Rangel just proposed another of his tong in cheek trial balloons. This new tax would strip billions from the nation’s investment cash and give it to congress to waste paying off election debts. Some in congress seen to forget it was an oppressive government and excessive taxation that caused...
November 04, 2007
Hillary Clinton seems to be having a problem defining her metaphors. In her prepared speeches she’s very articulate each syllable is crafted to place Hillary in the best possible light. When questioned one on one she isn’t so confident, she has a tendency to get lost in her explanations. Hillary s...
October 26, 2007
This morning I received an e-mail from a crusty lady in Sheridan Wyoming who happens to be a Fred Thompson supporter. This lady has e-mailed me before adding a little to each of my articles supporting Fred Thompson. Charlotte isn’t the only one who tells me they are behind Fred Thompson 100%. I ...
October 24, 2007
For as many presidential elections as I can recall two things are cretin, the media chooses who they perceive to be the most vulnerable candidate to tag as the election seasons “Village Idiot.” Then one candidate always puts his foot in his mouth driving him out of contention. The first honor h...
October 23, 2007
Senator Harry Reid spoke praising Rush Limbaugh for the foresight offering the senates’ letter to the COE of Clearchannel Communications demanding Rush Limbaugh’s immediate dismissal, or words to that effect. It was his way of admitting he made an ass out of himself and those senators who joined...
October 23, 2007
Californians longest serving Democratic Congressman made what may have been the most egregious allegations ever heard in the history of this nation in the halls of congress. He was chastising the president for vetoing the [SCHIP] reauthorizing, [the presidents privilege] legislation to not just ...
October 14, 2007
In another attempt at censorship Harry Reid and 41 United States Senators used their official positions to invalidate the first amendment and have a private citizen silenced. The first seven articles of the constitution determine how congress, the president and the courts will conduct themselves...
October 09, 2007
You will recall in 2000 George Bush was depicted by the media and the Gore supporters as some kind of Hill-Billy from the sand dunes of West Texas, and look where it got him. All those Hill-Billy’s from the real hard working America turned out to vote for him. There’s an old saying among country...
October 08, 2007
Rush couldn’t buy the publicity Congressional Liberals are giving him. It seems liberals would learn by now they shouldn’t take on someone who has nothing to fear or lose. Rush Limbaugh is one of the most popular talk show hosts in the country. With each attack his popularity grows. Put that up ag...
October 07, 2007
As I look back over 50 years of voting and try to recall if there has ever been a time when the country was more divided over the candidates. There’s no question presidential politics is a dirty business, this time around it seems to be getting more interesting. There are two supposedly minority...
October 02, 2007
When we want to get someone’s attention there’s the old adage “Wake up and smell the Coffee” that has never truer than it is in today’s political climate. Three recent presidents, Kennedy, Reagan and now Bush have proven beyond any doubt money in the hands of the consumers provides more income t...
October 01, 2007
We hear politicians say how they support and honor our man and women serving in the military, but do they? When we see or hear of something pertaining to the military happening in Iraq or Afghanistan it’s usually something of a negative nature. World War II may have been the last war to produce ...
October 01, 2007
It’s much too early for the voters to become interested in the presidential campaign aside from its entertainment value. The audiences watch the debates on TV not so much to learn what the campaign will be about, the public knows its far to early for the candidates to have settled on their platf...

What would you be willing to pay for the opportunity to show your patriotism to the entire nation? Before you say yes ask the citizens of Riverside New Jersey if the principle is worth the price. The village of Riverside was one of the first in the nation to pass rigid anti-immigration laws. The...

George Bush may be the most misquoted, most misunderstood and maligned president in modern history. There have been a few times when I thought some of his decisions made Jimmy Carter look intelligent. I was never in favor of invading Iraq. Once there I’ve not been in favor of leaving Iraqis swin...
September 24, 2007
Like all of Hillary Clinton's proposals Hillarycare has a little from column A, a little from column B and a lot from all the columns C through Z. What I’ve been able to dig up so far has very little to do with health care and a lot to do with Hillary. Hillary Clinton’s statistics would be amusi...

Fred let Hillary self-destruct, there are several words not in Hillary’s vocabulary calm, civility, honesty and humility are among them. Allow Hillary to prove [who she isn’t] you stay above the Democratic manure pile.
I do my best not to trash Democrats we know they’re capable of showing...

Rudy Giuliani can stand toe to toe with Hillary kissing babies and stealing their candy suckers. Rudy and Hillary are pit bulls who can compete equally in the political arena like the Gladiators of old Rome. Fred Thompson is more like the St Bernard who comes up the mountain to bring us back dow...

It’s amusing to listen to the Media Pundits almost but not quite try to find ways to discredit Fred Thompson. He’s intimidating them, ya-think?
Nearly every reporter and pundit will be pushing Fred Thompson for answers that satisfy their question their way. What they’re most likely to get i...
September 17, 2007
In listening to the potential nominees of both political parties Fred Thompson was the first to suggest the 50 States should be allowed to share some of the responsibility of running the country. Fred is the only candidate I’ve heard question Washington’s “One size fits all” approach to the laws...
September 16, 2007
Media pundits are like little boys playing “King of the Hill” may not have decided on a Republican candidate yet with the exception of Fox Cable who seems to be enamored with Rudy Giuliani. They’ve made their choice who to send to the bowels of the campaign barrel and that’s Fred Thompson.

George Bush is a West Texan and thinks like one, he believes you shouldn’t try to do the other mans job for him. Believing in the separation of the three powers of government executive, legislative and judicial Bush has made it a point not to interfere in the business of congress or the courts, ...

We assume political candidates spend thousands of dollars in order to inform voters why they should be the candidate chosen to represent them, that’s in a perfect world and this world if far from perfect. Candidates spend vast sums of money doing their best to destroy the reputation of their opp...

I watched Fred Thompson speak extemporaneously for an hour with no written notes, no teleprompter, no podium and no stumbling. He stood in the hot Iowa sun speaking to a group of “We the People” for an hour, then for the next fifteen minutes or so he answered questions or allowed some in the aud...
September 09, 2007
There’s a controversy in congress and the judicial system of this country over the rights of privacy. Those who appose increased surveillance by the government drag out the first amendment and scream foul. Those who wish to prevent another 9/11 drag out the articles of confederation that empower...
September 07, 2007
As we enter this 2008 political season we’ll hear politicians tell us all the things wrong with America. Before we start boarding up the windows and heading for our cellars maybe we should stop and think for a moment. Aren’t these politicians spreading doom and gloom the same politicians who’ve ...

Fred Thompson’s off to the Whitehouse in a Red Ford 150 and his favorite Hound Dog Old Blue at his side, “Catch Him If You Can.”
Last Wednesday on the Jay Leno show Fred Thompson announced he was running for president. He made a point of explaining why he waited what some felt was so long...
September 06, 2007
Even before Fred Thompson announces his intentions the conservative right is creating an image of a reincarnated Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan was a brilliant leader there’s no question about that. However after four years of Jimmy Carter the Reagan presidency had no way to go but up. Should Fre...
September 03, 2007
It’s going to be interesting to see just how Democrats and the media are going to play this one. President Bush is spending Labor Day with the troops in Iraq. Since Bush isn’t running for anything no one can say he’s surfing for votes. He obviously didn’t take anyone along that’s running for off...
September 03, 2007
It’s not just Hillary whose words don’t always come out the same in every speech. All her opponents from both parties say what they think the audiences wants to hear. In a recent speech in New Hampshire Hillary said the only way to make needed changes was by a consensus between the presidency and ...

The next election is starting out with presidential candidates out front with the Medias attention. The fact is congress leads the culture of corruption they are the ones who deserve greater media scrutiny. This isn’t to suggest they are all personally corrupt, it does suggest none have contact ...
September 01, 2007
The 2008 elections are 15 months away and the hostility is heating up. Republicans are all gay liars and Democrats are all thieves, at least that’s this week’s media talking point. A few bad apples don’t necessarily spoil the whole barrel. If Conservative Republicans weren’t so pious a gay here ...
August 30, 2007
The Bush administration is winding down as most administration do in their final 18 months. That doesn’t mean the Bush administration is irrelevant, it means it’s time to spruce up the house before the new tenant moves in. No president has ever been able to leave the government in shape that sat...

Now there are more questions about the actions of the special prosecutor Mr. Fitzgerald’s and the bureaucrats in Washington’s than the case he was perusing. Everyone including the Bush Whitehorse knew the truth. Why was this allowed to continue on for so long at such an expense to the taxpayers...

Who’s To Blame For Katrina?
There’s an abundance of blame being passed around for Hurricane Katrina and the devastation it caused. Most of the blame is being generated by political bias. When we look at the facts, there’s less reason for blame than just accepting circumstance. Katrina was someth...

Global warming creates glaciers in the Himalayas according to researchers at Newcastle University England. According to their research warmer winters and cooler summers are causing glaciers to increase in size. More rain and snow are the reasons they give, except on average wouldn’t that equal ...

If I were the leader of the free world I’d call a summit meeting of all the important leaders of the world, protagonists and antagonists get them all in a room for a week or more whatever it takes and hammer out their differences. My only precondition would be they must check their guns with th...

I need to start by saying I’m not a fan of WalMart, I refuse to shop in one of their stores, I can assure you I’m not missed. My antagonism with WalMart has nothing to do with how they treat their employees. It’s personal and shall remain so.
Several Democratic presidential hopefuls have ch...

How many Democrats will come slithering back to Joe Lieberman when his poll numbers are double those of Ned Lamont? Two week before the November election Joe Lieberman will have more friends in the Democratic Party then Anna Nicole Smith had when the Supreme Court ruled she was in fact a rich w...

Don’t you just love it when there’s a war and there are no losers? Well maybe there were some losers after all. How about the Israeli citizens who set in bomb shelters days on end?

I wish those liberal congresspersons would stop telling the public what the President’s doing wrong and tell us how to do it the right way. I haven’t heard one positive suggestion coming from a congressperson yet. Their campaign slogan for the coming election will likely be, “look at my record,...

I’ve never understood the hostility toward Jews. They’re one of the least-aggressive people on earth until challenged; only then do they become Lyons protecting their turf. Until 1948 and the establishment of Israel as a nation they were enslaved, humiliated, persecuted and even murdered for no othe...

There’s a misconception America is occupying Iraq, nothing could be further from the truth. American troops have been in Germany for 60 years, In Korea for 50 Years and elsewhere around the world from extended periods of time, does that mean we are occupying those countries, certainly not nor are we...

President Bush’s mistake was in thinking he could do what the world had been unable to do for four thousand years. Make peace between Muslim and Jew. If I may, was Bush thinking like a modern day Christian Crusader, or did he feel America was in imminent danger. Blaming Bush’s is to say the very l...

Whether Senator Lieberman wins his party’s primary today will tell political pundits who controls the vote the public or the party. Speculation and predictions are running wild. Senator Lieberman has been one of those politicians who’s always been one vote short of achieving his stated ambition...

Last week I decided I needed to return to my place where I get away once a year to meditate. There’s a place on this earth were all the worlds strife isn’t the only subject people talked about they talk about friends and family and community. Fortunately I found this place several years ago it’s a s...

For several weeks I’ve felt the need to go somewhere the world’s problems can’t reach me. That place is a cabin on the shores of Lake Michigan near where it joins with Lake Superior and Lake Huron. That part of Michigan is virtually untouched by modern cavitations. My friend’s cabin has no telepho...

Dale King didn’t go far enough explaining why the public is a great deal of the cause of high oil prices (The Ugly Truth About High Gas Prices - American Chronicle, July 18, 2006).

Ask anyone and you’ll get a verity of reasons, in the end it’ll come down to the Israeli / Palestinian conflict. Muslims don’t believe they can live in a region where the unclean Christians and Jews are contaminating their sacred soil. Jews believe their land is a gift from God; neither side is...

Mid-term, Congressional elections are rapidly approaching. In eleven months Americans will go to their polling places to elect members to the House of Representatives and a few Senators.

The successful elections in Iraq gave a strong indication democracy is winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people and their fight against authoritarian rule. I can’t recall a time when 75% of eligible voters turned out for an American election. It was obvious segment of the insurgents who a...

Hillary Clinton wrote an extensive e-mail defining her position on the war and other issues or did she? Her e-mail puts her squarely in the middle of supporting the war and pulling out. On the one hand she takes credit for her vote to go to war on the other hand she’s apposed to the war. Can she...

Allow me to preface this article by saying I’ve spent the better part of my life on both sides of the border, I admit I have a bias.

It seems to me the media lobbying congress is a conflict of interests, as well as unconstitutional. First let’s examine what a lobbyist is, They’re usually Lawyers who beg barrow or steal, perhaps a better term would be bribe and extort their way into the congressional bureaucracy’s inner offices. L...

Is Congress turning away from George Bush or simply turning to the center to attract voters? Or perhaps history is repeating itself when Presidents start to loose their glitter for the less attractive brass. Nothing satisfies a voter more than listening to a politician with an opinion that agrees wi...
November 20, 2005
It’s really unfair to call it George Bush’s war when in reality it’s a war conducted around the world. Daily we hear of car bombs or suicide bombers blowing up innocent civilians somewhere in the world. It can be a school bus, Mosque, or just a gathering of innocent civilians, children playing ba...

Is this how liberal Democrats would have us fight the war on terror? To withdraw behind high walls in fortresses designed to hide us from the world outside. It didn?t work in the dark ages and it won?t work now. We know what Liberal Democrats don?t want, we wish they would tell us what they do wa...

Or is the public failing the print media? Either way print media is in trouble. The wheels are falling off the newspaper business. It’s more likely than not because the publics reading habits are changing. There was a time when a second cup of coffee and the morning newspaper were a tradition. These...

It’s time Congress reconsiders all those billions of dollars they send to countries who don’t appreciate it, or appreciate us? This nation can no longer afford to support the world. Two thousand and five has been one of the costliest years in the past century. Yet our government continues to offe...

That’s the number of statements made by prominent Democrats affirming WMDs leading up to the War in Iraq. It wasn’t just President Bush who said Saddam Hussein had lethal weapons it was every Democrat who could find a TV camera and a reporter to talk to. Between February 1998 and February 2003 no...

Here I go again playing my favorite game of, [What If.] Could it be the President set the Democrats up again? Could it have been the Presidents intention to get the Democrats excited about a lightweight ringer, Harriet Miers then send in the real thing Judge Samuel Alito? That would certainly ma...
October 29, 2005
It’s time for President Bush to end the gotcha politics. The indictment of Lewis Libby is another example of a special prosecutor making his investigation the crime and not the crime he was investigating. With nearly every special prosecutor, it’s the same scenario. If you can’t get them for what th...

How many times have we seen the President come out on the winning side of media speculation? More often than not, the Presidents slow responses prove to be the better choices in judgment. This president isn’t nearly as concerned with satisfying the media and his critics approval as he is getting ...

Some questions can’t be answered, something’s must be classified as misnomers. Compassion for the oppressed is one of the many things that can’t be accredited to the Democratic Party. Anti-war movements date back to our Revolutionary War. There’ve been pacifists throughout history. I’m inclined to b...

It seems Liberals are out to get the President any way they can. What ever happened to winning elections in the voting booths? It seems recently the election is no sooner over than the opposition starts looking for ways to upset the voter’s choices.
There’s a danger in authorizing the appo...

Are the press allowed to write anything they chose or should there be limits placed on the speculation they offer in advance of a given situation. Who will the media be held accountable? Many countries have limits on what the press can report without facts backing them up. The Media?s calling for...

Are we paying congress to go at each other like Gladiators in the old Roman Coliseums? I’m personally offended by the way our congress doesn’t pay attention to business and tries to derail the President at every turn. This isn’t how a democracy, especially the worlds first true democracies is su...

Why would anyone want to become a public figure? All the warts, even those their spouse doesn’t know about are exposed. Why does anyone go trough the grilling it takes to become a government appointee or an elected official. Why do people want to become part of the government process and suffer ...

There was a time as a good little Republican I sent an annual donation to the National and the State Republican Parties. That changed just prior to the last Presidential election.

We hear a lot about racism these days. I find the word “racist” as offensive as I find the "N" word. It doesn’t make any difference who uses those words because they are offensive. Charles Rangel, the Congressional Representative from New York, is inclined to invoke "racist" into many of his remarks...

The media’s taken over the thinking for Harriet Miers. She’s yet to open her mouth and the world knows her every thought, thanks to an imaginative media, and a few of her friends who want their 15 minutes of her new found fame. The NASTIES haven’t surfaced yet, we can be assured they will. Nothi...
October 04, 2005
The Associated Press is calling President Bush’s choice of Ms. Miers as a nominee to the Supreme Court a calculated risk. Their reasoning is the press [aka] media doesn’t know anything about her. The constitution requires the advice and consent of congress when appointing judges to federal court...

Should we worry Ms. Harriet Miers is a converted Democrat? Many prominent Republicans have crossed the bridge to reality over the years. I believe Ms. Miers conversion to conservatism to be real. I can forgive her for every indiscretion except one: giving a political contribution to Al Gore; that’s ...

For the present, the US controls the Internet. We invented it and we're keeping it ours, we hope. The Internet is one of the last few places man has an uncensored voice. That’s because the Internet isn’t controlled by any government agency. If the European Union or the United Nations allowed to take...

Inevitably, someone’s always singled out for blame. In the Case of Hurricane, Katrina Michael Brown the former director of FEMA is going to be the scapegoat.

There’s a great deal of speculation how and why to rebuild New Orleans. Every pundit on the internet seems to think they have the answers, me included. It’s up to the residents of New Orleans to plan and execute the rebuilding of their city. It’s their city and their future. If as many, say we m...

This past month has been all about hurricanes. The devastation caused by Katrina was beyond belief in a country that prides it’s self in preparedness. We’re a Federalist Nation, that means responsibilities are spread out among, villages, cities, counties, states, and national government. No one agen...

The media controls what we know and don’t know about current events. Finally they’re concentrating on what actually went wrong in the months preceding hurricane Katrina. It seems there were ample warnings from reliable sources this wasn’t going to be the average hurricanes season. The media is doing...

Mr. President that’s my money and 300 million other peoples money you’re talking about. You want to spend 200 billion dollars on roughly 2 to 2 ½ million people. I have no doubt your speech meant to encourage the victims of hurricanes Katrina. It isn’t going to encourage the people who will even...

There’re some things in this world that refuse to die, New Orleans in one of them. The city has withstood the French, the Spanish, the British, the Confederacy, the Yankees, the Catholic Church, Tourists, and corrupt Louisiana Politicians, what’s a little hurricane? I’m not diminishing the destr...

A noble gesture, now what’s the president going to do about the governments bureaucracy that created the foul-up in the first place? There was too much talk and no action. Too many meetings that produced no solutions, too many layers of management that didn’t manage. Too much of too much, that was t...

Judge John Roberts spent his first day of the Congressional hearings listening to the meanderings of a group of Reality TV Actors, i.e. The Senate Judiciary Committee. The hearings so far are an introduction of the real stars of the committee, the senators.

Two days before hurricane Katrina came ashore in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama President Bush declared the Gulf Coast a disaster area.

Next are those unsung heroes who come to clean up the mess.

My first visit to New Orleans was an experience I’ll never forget. I was a mid-teenager straight off the ranch. I was about as country as it’s possible to be. I took a deep breathe, turned left from Canal Street to Bourbon street into the heart of the French Quarter. I had walked scarcely two bl...

Not that right. The real right, the right with truth and justice on it’s side. Another military mom, a real mom steps up to the plate. Tammy Pruett didn’t claim she contributed a husband and five sons to the war in Iraq. Rather she says she’s proud to have a husband and five son’s who willingly ...

I am not a believer in polling data. We can never be sure how the questions are crafted. There’s the age old axiom, “Do you beat your wife and children?” When the subject answer no of course not, the headlines read, “John Doe stopped beating his wife and children.” The perception is left something ...
