The New Check and Balance: Time for Direct Democracy?

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

The National Initiative for Democracy (NI4D) is former SEN Mike Gravel's vehicle for advocating a national ballot initiative.  While I am suspicious of direct democracy, as it often turns into mob rule, I offer the link above as evidence that the anti-Establishment Left has not wholly thrown its' lot with ...

A Specter Will Soon Cease Haunting Pennsylvania (and the U.S. Senate)

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Arlen Specter just announced that he will join the Democrat Party and run as a Democrat for Senate in 2010. Here’s my commentary originally posted at the Postmodern Conservative blog: Specter got this word from Pennsylvania pols after voting for trillions of $$$$ of wasteful spending in response to appeals by America’s ...

Best Wishes to President-Elect Obama

Monday, January 19th, 2009

Although this may be the last time I write anything in support of our soon-to-be-President, it is both traditional and a matter of grace to wish a new President, regardless of party affiliation or political persuasion, success as he takes office.  The time will come, soon, when partisan matters will ...

“Senator” Franken? That’s not a joke, it’s a stolen election!

Monday, January 5th, 2009

Elephant wants to throw God out of the republicrat party

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

Another of these "keep faith in Church" (and nowhere else) people is sounding off on the Federal election results.  Kathleen Parker advises that the GOP move away from, separate and put in their place all those darn evangelicals who object to the party moving into republicrat/democrat-lite operations.  Kathleen's article really ...

Saxby Chambliss may be only an average US Senator, but he may be all that stands between us and a 60-seat Democrat Senate, filibuster-proof and ready to destroy the last vestiges of our freedom.  Perhaps it's too late already, but what else is there to do?

How to think like a donkey

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

I'm voting Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would. I'm voting Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it. I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that ...
