In life we all come across arrogant, self-righteous individuals who have difficulty admitting their own shortcomings or errors, but are remarkably quick at passing judgment on others.
People such as those described above can, in many instances, maneuver topics of conversation to their satisfaction and even sway opinions of others.
We expect to come across [...]

We live in an age where scams and identity theft are a serious problem. Many lives are altered forever each year by those who prey on the innocent.

When I read or hear a statement such as this:
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”
it just adds to the list of things which leave me less than inspired about our choices [...]

Just one more hole for the GOP to dig itself out of was initiated by Mike Huckabee today at the NRA convention.
The suggestion that someone in the crowd of lawful gun owners would take aim at the Senator is absurd on its face, but Huckabee made it worse by explaining Barack Obama’s imagined reaction.

Keith Olberman is probably the most despicable person I have ever seen on television. He makes Dan Rather’s bouts with President Nixon look like a day in the playground when he goes on his daily rants about President Bush.
When was the last time you ever heard a television personality tell the President of the [...]

Sorry , but I do not see the humor in this suggestion from former President Clinton:
Citing President Bush’s recent cameo appearance on NBC’s “Deal or No Deal,” former President Bill Clinton today suggested that his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, might want to appear on a network show, too, “like, I dunno, maybe ‘Wife Swap’ or [...]

This video offers the most comprehensive information seen to date on the theft of Classified Documents from the National Archives by President Clinton’s former National Security Advisor, Sandy Berger.

We all remember when Cynthia McKinney lost her congressional seat to another black woman. McKinney’s father came right out and said it was because of the J-E-W-S, Jooooos.
Now we have a congressional campaign in Tennessee where a Jewish man is the incumbent and the person running against him is an African American.
Take a look [...]

Berkeley has not redeemed themselves but then neither has Congress.
From Senator DeMint:
February 13th, 2008 - Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) made the following statement in response to the decision by the City Council of Berkeley, California not to apologize to the Marine Corps and their families and reaffirming their support for [...]

I have avoided writing on the situation in Berkeley and their attempts to expel Marine Recruiters from their community as I felt I could not write on the topic without my absolute abhorrence for their actions coming to the forefront.
That was until I saw this today:
(original City Council Meeting on this issue)

Those who would support [...]

As a Republican, I resent the latest remarks by Nancy Pelosi:
“They like this war. They want this war to continue,” Pelosi, D- Calif., told reporters. She expressed frustration over Republicans’ ability to force majority Democrats to yield ground on taxes, spending, energy, war spending and other matters.
“We thought that they shared the view of [...]

The once revered deliberative body of the legislative branch of our government has now dissolved into a mud slinging, name calling, carnival like atmosphere.
From the NYT:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 — As if there was any doubt that Congress was on the verge of devolving into a carnival atmosphere, Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic majority [...]

What in the name of blazes is this all about?
Open primaries ­ in which voters don’t have to be a member of a party to vote for its candidates ­ have long been a thorn in the sides of national Democrats and Republicans. Now, according to the Associated Press, Virginia’s G.O.P. is going to [...]

The San Francisco Chronicle should be ashamed to have a writer on their staff who produces an article entitled “Bush Death Watch: Countdown”.
This gentleman, (ahem), is well within his right to speak or write whatever he chooses. However, there was a time that a headline such as the one above would have drawn harsh [...]

Why would you manufacture any product, let alone one which children would use, with the chemicals used in a date rape drug?
A popular children’s toy is being pulled from Canadian store shelves over safety concerns that it may contain a chemical which converts into a so-called “date-rape” drug when swallowed, a scare that prompted Australian [...]

If it wasn’t so predictable…well you know.
Opposition among Democrats to Michael B. Mukasey’s nomination as attorney general grew Wednesday, heightening the intrigue surrounding a confirmation that once seemed assured.

If you have children who watch Nickelodeon, especially in the early hours of the morning, this post from Army Wife Toddler Mom is one which is a must read:
NICKELODEON IS BRAINWASHING YOUR CHILD
Linda Ellerby is the host, that should be enough said.
Pay particular attention to the second and fourth stories.
This Nickeldeon “news” program, [...]

We all read of the corruption in politics in Washington. The bloated earmarks from which many of us never see any benefits, problems with lobbyists who get their hooks into elected officials and never cut them loose and constant campaign mode for all offices which precludes accomplishing anything worthwhile for citizens is rampant.
Well, in [...]

Yesterday when reading of Representative Waxman’s latest endeavor to silence conservative talk radio and anyone else who might get in the path of the democrats, I was both angered and saddened.
Are these not the same democrats who support the likes of Michael Moore, Al Franken, many in Hollywood, Code Pink, Media Matters, George Soros and [...]

Far be it from me to try to understand this move by the Clinton camp.
Sandy Berger, who stole highly classified terrorism documents from the National Archives, destroyed them and lied to investigators, is now an adviser to presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. Berger, who was fired from John Kerry’s presidential campaign when the scandal broke [...]

Matt Margolis at GOP Bloggers links to this on-line petition the Democrats have put forth in their latest effort to embarrass Rush Limbaugh.
If you believe this is just another attempt by the Democrats with the help of Media Matters and their ilk to silence conservative voices, Representative Cantor is offering an e-petition of his own [...]

David Schuster in one of his finest moments. Not.

Tennessee Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn got a dose of tough journalism tonight on Tucker Carlson’s MSNBC show. Substitute host David Shuster did the honors:
Shuster: “Let’s talk about the public trust. You represent, of course, a district in western Tennessee. What was the name of the last solider [...]

I have always shied away from posting on Cindy Sheehan as I never felt she was either worth the time or deserving of any mention.
This woman in my opinion is a disgrace, certainly not a patriot and while some may disagree she disparages the sacrifice of her son every time she pulls one of her [...]

I had used this as an update in a post yesterday, and for those who may have read it, I apologize for the repitition, but I believe it it is worthy of mention in its’ own setting.
You expect those elected in public office to make statements from time to time which could be regarded as [...]

This is absolutely unbelievable. I take that back..no it’s not!

If I lived in Arizona and had children attending school, I would certainly keep a close eye on this situation.
Hundreds of students in Arizona are trying to learn English from teachers who don’t know the language, state officials say.
The kids are taught by teachers who don’t know English grammar and can’t pronounce English words [...]

Here we go again. Another recall of Mattel products has been announced.
Mattel Inc. on Tuesday announced its third major recall of Chinese-made toys in little more than a month, including 675,000 Barbie doll accessories, because of excessive amounts of lead-tainted paint.

If what I saw in this post at Sweetness and Light is what passes for art today then I am sad for all of us.
Artworks depicting Osama bin Laden in a Christ-like pose and a statue of the Virgin Mary covered in a burqa have caused a stir in Australia after they were showcased [...]

The Republican leadership in congress has asked for an ethics investigation into Senator Larry Craig and his latest escapades.
