Reason v. Savagery

This morning was day one of our first beach vacation of 2007 here at our place on Hatteras Island, North Carolina.  I got up at 0630, put the kettle on for tea and clicked on the TV to MSNBC.  Yes, I admit that I’m a conservative that likes MSNBC.  If you’ve been keeping up with [...]

London Bomb Plot Foiled

It is sounding more and more as if the foiled terrorist bomb plot in London today was the work of al Qaeda or similar Islamic militants.

Disney Scraps Direct-to-DVD Sequels

Disney has woken up and smelled the coffee.  They have announced they are discontinuing their line of direct-to-DVD sequels (a.k.a. cheapquels) to their classic animated movies.  I guess that means Pinochio 2: Geppetto’s Revenge won’t be hitting stores anytime soon.  Good for them!  Now get back to work and find some more classic fairy tales [...]

John Stirrup Sends A Message; Hilda Barg Shows Her Ignorance

“If you’re illegal, you either better get legal or get out of Prince William County.”
– Supervisor John Stirrup (R-Gainesville), June 27, 2007 on NBC4 News.
Meanwhile, Supervisor Hilda Barg (D-Woodbridge) – known widely for sleeping during the citizen time portion of the BOCS meetings (and judging from yesterday’s meeting when she mentioned me as if I was [...]

Webb Immigration Amendment Goes Down in Flames

Wow. 
Senators also voted 79-18 to kill a proposal by Democratic Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., that would have allowed only those who had been in the country for at least four years to gain lawful status. The bill would make anyone here by Jan. 1, 2007 eligible for legalization.
Will Webb now vote against cloture on the [...]

John Stirrup — Standing Up For The Law

The Potomac News has an article about Prince William County Supervisor John Stirrup’s (R-Gainesville) proposed resolution on cracking down on illegal immigration.  His resolution would
require all county “officials, agencies and personnel” to verify immigration status of people who use county services.
. . .
The resolution would further require that police “inquire into the citizenship” of anyone [...]

Lou Dobbs on “SECRETS in the new AMNESTY bill & Z-VISA”

A MUST watch report.

“Amnesty Bill Blues”

Another conservative classic in the making from the James Kole Band (the group that brought us “I’ve Got A Crush On Fred Thompson’s Politics”)

Oops!

“You know, I’ve heard all the rhetoric – you’ve heard it, too – about how this is amnesty. Amnesty means that you’ve got to pay a price for having been here illegally, and this bill does that.”
– President George W. Bush, June 26, 2007.
See it here.
WH Spokesman Tony Snow had to clarify that Bush had [...]

Hillary! Raises $2M from Indian-Americans

Hillary! raised $2 million from Indian-Americans yesterday.  Many of those in attendance were upset about Barrack Hussein Obama’s campaign “circulating a memo that described Clinton as a Democrat representing Punjab and detailing her ties to Indian firms that specialize in outsourcing.”
I guess that they forgot Hillary!’s own racial slur comment regarding Indian-Americans.
[...]

Thompson Increases Lead Over Giuliani

Fred Thompson has increased his lead over Rudy Giuliani in this week’s Rasmussen Reports survey of likely Republican primary voters.  (Rasmussen actually called my home with this poll last week, but we only got it on voicemail so we did not participate.)  Although Fred drops to 27% from last week’s 28%, Rudy drops from 27% [...]

Warner & Webb Sell Out on Immigration Bill

 Sens. John Warner and Thinskin Gump (D-WashPo) just voted in favor of cloture on the Senate Amnesty Bill.
Shame.
UPDATE:  The cloture motion received 64 votes meaning that it will proceed.

Real Men of Genius – “Mr. Doomed Presidential Candidate”

Dems Fear The Fred

The Politico reports that the DNC is already attacking Fred Thompson.  That tells you one thing — Dems fear the Fred.  A party doesn’t play in the other party’s primary unless they want to get someone out who they fear will be a strong challenger to their own nominee.
Why do they fear the Fred?  Perhaps [...]
