• New York Times Columnist Apologizes to Tea Party Republicans

  August 7, 2011 at 9:41am

  Apologies are only useful if the behavior improves – I have long known that Progressives have never actually matured beyond middle-school level in their manners and ideology, so “I’m sorry” doesn’t mean very much. Should I see any increased level of maturity from such as this columnist, I might be more inclined to believe that his appology is sincere. When your only recourse in debate and/or discussion is playground name-calling, it is difficult to treat you as an adult.

• ‘Hang on, Hang on!’: CNN Anchor Clashes With Sen. Rand Paul Over Debt Ceiling

  August 1, 2011 at 9:48am

  The double standard of CNN is always obvious: Kiss the ring ( or the nearest available body part!) of any Dem and do not permit a conservative to do more than answer leading questions (like “Have you stopped beating your wife?) with a yes or no. This is not journalism – it is political hackery!

• McCain Defends ‘Hobbit’ Comment to Hannity: I Actually ‘Admire’ the Tea Party

  July 28, 2011 at 8:27am

  McCain is and always has been a RINO – he is a Progressive and his vaunted voting record shows it. As for the Hobbit analogy, I can think of worse things to be called – after all, it only took two Hobbits to defeat Sauron! Just call me Frodo!!

• Update: Anti-Picketing Legislation Passes Arizona Legislature

  January 12, 2011 at 8:00am

  As much as I value freedom of speech, I despise the Westboro Baptist group and their sick intrusion upon grieving families. I believe this law is the best compromise between a cherished freedom and the emotional cruelty practiced by Westboro Baptist protesters. I congratulate AZ on its expeditious and measured response.

• Giffords Shooting: A Rahm Emanuel-esque ‘Crisis to Exploit’?

  January 11, 2011 at 5:28pm

  Those who advise “exploitation” of any crisis that creates pain and misery for anyone have no interest in anything but power – leadership is not about control and force, it is the result of character and integrity setting an example to follow.

• GOP Rep. Will Introduce New Strict Gun Law

  January 11, 2011 at 2:00pm

  Knee-jerk absurdity strikes again!! When are these fools going to realize that PEOPLE kill people and will use whatever means they can find to do so! The ridiculous assumption that a concealed carry permit holder is automatically a danger to an elected official strikes me as extreme paranoia – is this Congressman that scared of his constituents???

• Partisan Law Enforcement: Now AZ Sheriff Goes After Palin and Angle Statements

  January 11, 2011 at 10:41am

  Is the sheriff an elected officer of Pima county? Seems to me he must be as any professional in law enforcement would certainly not jeopardize a criminal investigation with such a blatantly obvious display of political partisanship!

• Bill Maher Compares Gunman‘s Beliefs to Beck’s: ‘Glenn Beck is Also a Little Nutty’

  January 11, 2011 at 10:03am

  When did it become “free speech belongs only to the Left?” Mr. Maher apparently has no compunctions in making accusatory remarks, yet vilifies people who disagree with current governmental policy and implies that this disagreement is responsible for the actions of a mentally disturbed killer. I do not suggest that he stop talking, merely that “pots & kettles” reactions serve no one.

• Loughner’s Parents Could Release Statement Today

  January 11, 2011 at 9:50am

  Mental Illness is often ignored or excused by parentts – the urge to protect one’s child is very strong. Until we have a foolproof way to look into a person’s mind and soul, we need to accept that no one can predict with any accuracy how a mentally disturbed individual will act. Being alive is a risk in itself – no one can make this world perfectly safe or perfectly predicatble.

• ‘Celebrate Reason’: New Atheist Billboard Calls Christmas a Myth

  November 28, 2010 at 4:18pm

  Everyone seems to be arguing about inconsequential matters with this story – how many of those who believe in the Divine are going to be “talked out of it” by a billboard? How many who do not believe in a Divine Being are going to be convinced with arguments from a Holy Book they do not believe in or invective regarding their fate after death? Faith is an intimate and individual experience – non-transferrable and inexplicable to those who do not share it. May all of you be blessed with strength, joy, and peace – whatever the season!
