Another Fourth of July to Remember
Last year it was all about events of the world that just happened to come together in such a way to make a strange kind of “sense” in light of events that take place on the fourth. This year, it was all about family. It started off with my daughter, Danielle, singing the National Anthem at Sea World.

Polygamist Raid
Reflections on the FLDS
The unfolding polygamy drama in Texas has caused quite a media sensation across the country. I find it quite interesting to see all the illogic, righteous indignation, and hypocrisy being spewed across the airwaves and bandwidth. We may not know what we are talking about, but we all have opinions.

Hillary’s Free Ride
She Can't have it Both Ways
Hillary cannot have it both ways for a long list of issues like Wal-Mart (she was a member of the board of directors), Iraq, etc. However, Senator Clinton (D-NY), a woman of contradictions, has been playing both sides of issues for a very long time. And as far as the press is concerned, she is going to get a free ride for her hypocrisy.

Bill Clinton on Terrorism
Back To His Roots
So why were the World Trade Centers destroyed and thousands of Americans killed? Bill Clinton has clarified the issue for us. Speaking on 7 November 2001 to a crowd of nearly 1000 students at Georgetown University, Mr. Clinton made it clear that it was our own fault. That's right. We are to blame. Not the terrorists.

Bush’s Bad Image
Who is to Blame for It?
The President has done a few things very well like a booming economy, but he has done a lousy job in promoting them. His approval ratings should be sky high if he was a more hands on leader. Instead, he is allowing the press to define him and giving free reign to Democrats and liberal organizations to tarnish his image.

Newt for Prez?
You Got to be Kidding
My...my... what short memories Republicans have when it comes to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and the 2008 presidential elections. It is as if all of a sudden disenfranchised conservatives developed selective amnesia because their newfound fondness certainly wasn't there in 1998.

Madame Traitor
Appeasing an Enemy Dictator
Back in the day when Democrats were proud Americans first, only the President or his duly appointed representatives would negotiate with foreign leaders. Now the Democrats are openly and proudly flaunting their break with this essential tradition and publicly undermining President Bush and our national security.

GOP Anger  
Time For A New Political Party?
The only value third party candidates have in a national election is to pull votes away from one party in a close race, allowing the other party to win. The two major parties are in no way fearful that the third party candidate will win, only that they will prevent them from winning. But what if a new major party were to emerge?

Awful Approval Ratings
Bush Needs to Reassert Himself
George W. Bush’s approval ratings are awful. And by the looks of things, there doesn’t seem to be much chance of any improvement for the rest of his days in office. Even his staunchest supporters are concerned because of the ramifications for the party as a whole.  But there are things that he can do to help himself.

Republican Failure
A Face in Search of a Nose
Both parties are sifting over “lessons learned” to adjust strategy for their 2008 campaigns. It will be interesting to see what they come up with. For the Republicans, will the lessons they take away from 2006 take them back to conservative principles or will they decide that conservatism is dead?

Pelosi’s Plane
A Perk That Has To Go
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi demanded a military aircraft be made available to her. Why does the Speaker of the House rate a military jet (at taxpayer expense) for transportation between their home and Washington D.C.? Why can’t the Speaker take a commercial plane like other congresscritters do?

Well, the Nevada Caucuses and the South Carolina Primary are over. It’s on to Florida. And who is the front runner? Why McCain of course! But wait. Didn’t Romney win in Nevada? What about that?

Who’s On First?
GOP 2008 Presidential Update
As of 12 Jan 2008, who is ahead in the GOP primaries? Romney was expected to win in Iowa, but he came in second to Huckabee, so as of the Iowa Caucus, Huckabee was ahead. Romney was winning in New Hampshire, but came in second to McCain. So does McCain now have the “big Mo”.

Presidential Politics
About Mormonism: Part 1
So why is there a religion article in the politics section? No, we are not a Mormon web site (the site owner is not Mormon) but since the press has made such a big deal about Mitt Romney's religion when he became a Republican presidential frontrunner, it is important for investigative voters to sift fact from fiction.

Presidential Politics
About Mormonism: Part 2
Part of the problem some people have with Mitt Romney is his straight-laced “Leave it to Beaver” image. It isn’t what people expect in their neighbors, much less their politicians, and it is hard for many to believe that it is anything but an act. Again, it is important for investigative voters to sift fact from fiction.

Presidential Politics
About Mormonism: Part 3
Flip-flopping isn’t simply about changing one’s mind. It is about changing one’s position based on political expediency. Does Mitt really mean what he says, or is he just saying something to get elected. Can we trust him? Conservatives are right to be wary. We have been burned too many times in the past.

Presidential Politics
About Mormonism: Part 4
Mitt Romney, Republican candidate for president, is a Mormon. And just like JFK and Roman Catholicism, the fears are very much the same. Will Mitt first consult with Salt Lake when making public policy? Will there be a “hot line” between the president of the country and the first presidency of the LDS Church?

Presidential Politics
About Mormonism: Part 5
If people still believe that Mormon politicians only take their instructions from Utah, look at Senate Majority leader Harry Reid (D) who happens to be a Mormon in good standing. Romney and Reid have very different political views. If they are receiving directions from Salt Lake City, those directions are highly contradictory.

Freaky Holiday
A Fourth of July to Remember
This past Fourth of July is probably one of my more memorable ones. It started off with a bang as the Discovery lifted off the launch pad; it was an impressive sight – the largest “bottle rocket” in history. Then North Korea decided to stage its own “fourth of July” celebration, test firing six missiles over the Sea of Japan.

Fish or Cut Bait
Question for Conservatives
My wife asked me the other day, “Are we planning to do anything this year to help Republican candidates out this year?” I had to stop and think. And perhaps there are a lot of conservatives doing the same thing.

Growing Hysteria Over George W. Bush
Pushing the Panic Button
There are plenty of people claiming that, while Bush may have been re-elected, he does not have a “mandate”, and thus, must modify his positions “to take into account the millions who disagree with him on the issues”. What’s up with that?

A Dime’s Worth of Difference
Replace FDR with Reagan
Another idea who's time has not come from the Republican Congress. Let’s take FDR off the dime, and replace him with Ronald Reagan! So who exactly was the idiot who thought this one up. Do the Republicans have people staying up late at night thinking up stupid stuff?

Replacing Dick Cheney
The Bogus Rumor
The rumor to Dick Cheney prior to the 2004 presidential election was totally wrong but it still got plenty of media play. The biggest problem with rumors like this is that senior editors and the experienced journalist already know which stories have merit and which ones are totally ridiculous.

Damn It Jim
I'm a Conservative not a Republican!
A talk show host (who’s name I cannot remember), sitting in for Rush, spent several minutes of air time explaining how he is a Conservative, not a Republican, and that the two are not one and the same. So where do disgruntled conservatives go?
