A quote from his site: “That’s a shame - because Obama clearly represents, whatever his faults, a different racial politics than that of Jackson, Sharpton and the past.” (that’s Andy’s quote. my response below) and what are those “faults” you speak of? I’d like to know, Andrew. Really, ‘cause I haven’t seen much about that from you. And now you’re giving Democrats advice on how to heal the divide by bringing HILLARY to the VP slot?! Wow, have your priorities changed. I mean, your style hasn’t, but your priorities have. Also, after basically writing off Hillary as the devil (one...

In the wake of a U.S. strike on terrorists in Somali, the Al-Qaida afilliated militants announced a campaign of retaliation against the only target around: AU peacekeepers.

"...I find this behavior more on the left than the right and it can be scientifically quantified. When given an intellectually superior argument to Socialism, Surrender, Race and class division, there tends to be a response from the underbelly of the left that is simply Thuggish, Orwellian and Disturbing. There are very few in this group that can give an intelligent rebuttal to any of my videos. Some resort to personal attacks, name calling and mocking of my style, when none of them make videos themselves and others just make threats of physical violence. There are dozens on the left...

There is currently a pervasive feeling in this country that says, “We the People have no right to demand high standards from our political leaders.” I think we do! These are the people to whom we will entrust the welfare of our country, the future of our children and our freedom. I think that morals and integrity not only count but that they are everything. I don't think they are out of reach. These standards are the baseline from which we have a right to expect our leaders to make their decisions regarding the complex issues of our world. Our...

BUCKLE UP FOLKS! Honest Conservative hits the airwaves AGAIN! She has put together some great clips of Mrs. Nobama for us! She is sharp, cute, and funny to boot. (I'm a poet and I know it) Grab the popcorn, cheesy poofs, chocolate guac, and MilkyWay Martinis! THE LEFT IS GOING TO FEEL US ROAR! (PARTY!) heeee heeee heeeeeeee

Retired Colonel Bud Day’s tale of how fellow prisoner of war, John McCain helped save him from becoming a cripple sparked sharp criticism from Democratic National Chairman, Howard Dean. Day had escaped and been recaptured by the North Vietnamese. When he was caught, a guard broke his arm, left part of a bone sticking out, and put him in a misshapen cast. The objective was to ensure improper healing. “I told you I would make you a cripple,” the guard taunted. Risking severe punishment, McCain put Col. Day on the floor of his cell and used his foot to force...

Well the last 36 hours of my life have been, to put it mildly, surreal. You see I'm a 60 year old guy who has been married twice for a combined total of 27 year. I had two children with each wife. My son with my first wife drowned at a youung age and the psychological damage to his mother was a major factor in the the end of that marriage. Well to make a long story short my 29 year old daughter from the first marriage called me yesterday. We had not spoken for a longer that average interval,...

"Geeks On Caffeine" has hit another home run with its ongoing series on how to spend your stimulus money! In previous cartoons, the main character Joe Black made it very clear that the money should be spent on a 100% American product, which in this case was a gun. But what happens if others follow his lead? Find out...

Today, I'm going to talk about two prominent groups involved in the so-called anti-war movement, Not In Our Name and The World Can't Wait; how they're actually front groups for the Revolutionary Communist Party; and that party's vision for America.

That's all;)

Linda Bowman, who sponsored the submarine and christened it in April 2007, sent the crew running from the back of the audience onto the submarine. "You are a team and ready to go forth and defend this country," Bowman told the crew. "My hope is that she will sail in peace to keep us free. My assurance is that she will always be ready to defend that freedom whenever necessary. "Officers and crew of the...

After the verdict in the O.J. Simpson trial came in, Americans heard a new phrase. The term "jury nullification" explained how a jury comprised mostly of African-Americans could let a black man go free, even though there was overwhelming evidence pointing to his guilt. Imagine if there was a videotape of Simpson brutally slaying his wife Nicole and Ron Goldman. Many believe, even with such evidence, the jury still would have found the former football star innocent of the murders. The same can be said about the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Even though there was a film of Kennedy...

Bill Moyers weighs in on the Obama-Wright controversy and, as usual, forgets to take of his ideological blinders. ... Apparently, like John Kerry, the voters just aren’t smart enough to understand Reverend Wright. But that’s not really my point, or Bill’s.

SANYA, China (AP) -- After a much-protested journey, the Olympic torch reached this southern Chinese seaside resort Saturday night, beginning what organizers and Chinese citizens promised would be a trouble-free national tour.

The Democratic presidential hopeful said last week the US could "totally obliterate" Iran if it attacked Israel. Tehran, which insists its nuclear programme is solely for power generation, denounced her words as "provocative and irresponsible".

The United States Government registered an official protest with Israel after its ambassador to the United Nations, Dan Gillerman, called former U.S. President Jimmy Carter a “bigot’ and an “enemy of Israel.” The U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv asked that Gillerman be made aware that “the U.S. administration's formal position is that President Carter is an idiot, not a bigot.” The Israelis were asked to respect this position in all its future references to the ex-president.

BEIJING, China (CNN) -- China's Health Ministry strengthened surveillance and dispatched specialists to eastern China's Anhui province as the death toll from a virulent virus climbed to 22, the country's Xinhua news agency reported.

Those pesky Granite State gun owners have damaged the anti-gun spin machine of the Violence Policy Center. In a recent news release, the credibility-challenged VPC proclaimed, "Pro-Gun States Lead the Nation in Per Capita Firearm Death Rates.” ... The VPC dares not look at the bottom seven (7) states instead of the arbitrary five (5). That is because, lo and behold, New Hampshire ranks seventh from the bottom in per-capita gun deaths. New Hampshire is undeniably a strong pro-gun state that greatly respects the individual right to keep and bear arms....The VPC also has to purposely limit their selectively picked...

We all hear the same names mentioned as prospective running mates for John McCain: former Office of Management and Budget Director and one-time U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and even former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge. Each one would bring something to the ticket. Some come from crucial swing states that could help McCain reach 270 electoral votes. A number are governors, adding a non- Washington, D.C., piece to the ticket. By most standards, all are good-looking and articulate. And yet, none of them would change the partisan...
