As the owner of this blog I must take full responsibility for everything that is posted on this site.
Today a post was made that was not in good taste in reference to some of our military serving in Iraq.

Today we posted the link to the Los Angeles Times’ article, saying Bush was in heap big trouble when September gets here because he has no backing and the war is lost, basically.
Well, thanks to California Conservative I have been directed to this New York Times article.

Here’s the commentary by the person who put this on YouTube:
This is the closing monologue to the 2007 CMT Award’s show by Host Jeff Foxworthy, which aired last Monday. He talks about why he likes country music and why he likes being considered a country folk. This is not only very touching but oh so [...]

It doesn’t last that long, so please listen to what they are saying.

From the Washington Post:
The protesters assembled on the Mall yesterday with a plan to voice their less-than-generous views about a certain president and his vice president. They would form a human chain to spell out I-M-P-E-A-C-H, even including an exclamation point.
But only 150 or so showed up, far fewer than the 1,000 organizers had [...]

It’s actually a replica of Noah’s Ark, built to one-fifth scale according to the specifications spelled out in the Bible.
It took Johan Huibers, a Dutchman, two years to build it with modern technology. Imagine how hard it was for Noah to build it by hand.
Of course, it’s only a replica of the biblical Ark, [...]

Some quotes from the Chicago Sun-Times:

Admittedly, I’m sick of hearing presidential candidates this far from the first primary, but as I scan the news I’m beginning to wonder if the only people running are Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, with John Edwards as a trailing third.
Otherwise I’ve heard about McCain complaining the press isn’t as nice to him as it [...]

Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein is writing a book supposedly taking apart Hillary Clinton’s career story.
My question is, what can he tell us that isn’t already known, and if not known won’t matter to those who plan to vote for her?
Drawing on a trove of private papers from Hillary Clinton’s best friend, the legendary Watergate [...]

Diversity is one reason I read Roger Simon every day. When he chooses to write on politics he will praise or a take to task the right or the left. I could not let this article pass by without sharing, not because of politics but rather the take on being a politician [...]

Fred Thompson’s thoughts on the NFL Draft:
I’ve been a dedicated fan of professional football since I was a kid. I have the “premium” satellite football package and I’ve had seats for Tennessee Titans games since they first came to Nashville. So you can probably guess what I’ll be doing this weekend. Like a [...]

Alan Dershowitz is not known to be a political conservative under any circumstances. He worked to get Jimmy Carter elected and must surely feel betrayed by the former president now.
I have known Jimmy Carter for years. I first met him in the spring of 1976 when, as a relatively unknown candidate for president, he [...]

On a personal note if you will allow, the following expresses my feelings perfectly about two recently found friends.

I’m not sure if this is good news or bad since history has shown each leader in Russia gets progressively worse, and Putin has virtually returned to communism as a system of government.
MOSCOW (AP) - President Vladimir Putin told Russians more clearly than ever Thursday that he will step down when his second term ends [...]
