VIDEO Are we the baddies?The questioning of four star Marine General Michael Langley by Congressman Matt Gaetz sure brings up that question to mind. As America gets involved in all sorts of nefarious activities around the world including the destruction of the Nordstream Pipeline, supporting Ukrainian Nazis, and coups in Africa highlighted by Gaetz in his questioning of the AFRICOM commander, General Langley, who repeatedly recites the term "core values" as if it is a magical incantation that will make the uncomfortable questions by Gaetz go away. Oh, and notice that "core values" are about to do its work again...

SAVING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF CALIFORNIAby Jack Lee Let's face it, the Republican Party in California has tanked and they didn't get that way in just the last election. This has been a long, slow process of erosion that can be traced to a lack of... action, vision and inspired leadership. In short the Republicans whimped out and failed to live up to their own idealism and it got em tossed! For too many years the GOP gambled that they could spend a little time doing minor tweaks on a few key issues, then spin this to the public as...

Margaret Somerville | Monday, 20 August 2007 Canada ponders polygamy Now that same-sex marriage has been legalised, it seems inconsistent to prosecute Canada's polygamists. Currently, in Canada, polygamy is in the news. The Canadian Criminal Code prohibits polygamy, but it is being practiced in some communities and the question is whether the people involved should be prosecuted. Recently, the Globe and Mail, one of Canada’s nationally distributed newspapers, published an editorial entitled "No to polygamy". It’s relevant that the Globe was a major voice in support of same-sex marriage in the public debate that culminated in its legal recognition in...

I've long assumed that the Republican Party platform included pro-life, pro-family and pro 1st and 2nd amendment planks. Is this true or false? Or is the platform amended each election cycle to conform to the positions of the top polling potential presidential nominee (ie, the one with the most money or star billing and the MSM eye)? If these planks are based on longstanding, sound conservative principles and are sincerely respected and upheld by the majority of the members, then I'd like to propose a motion that before being seriously considered by the official party powers that be, prospective nominees...

Whenever a crowd gathers, the entrepreneurs shift gears and set up to sell their wares to the rubes. The early birds in Columbus, Ohio are even now rehearsing their pitch, "Clues! Getcher clues here. Fresh clues, buy one, get one free...Get -em while yer clueless..." We expect business to be brisk. You see, the Democrats are coming to Columbus. We will hide from the national press cameras so that no one knows that we live in this...mecca of the gentler party. But first, get to know Columbus. We have a Democratic city council, and a Democratic Mayor, Michael Coleman, who...

The Liberals howled at “Justice Sunday.” Way too ‘uppity’ of Senator Frist to speak about a political issue, a majority rules vote on judges, from a Baptist church in Kentucky and simulcast to over 1,000 other churches – when the church isn’t predominately Black! Conservatives condemned Democrat hostility to ‘people of faith’ and not one of their church leaders was a practicing homosexual. That Religious Right is not supposed to speak out in public. Or serve as judges. Or get elected. Or even vote. But millions did in ‘04. Liberals hate that and covet the votes. Liberals just don’t understand...

SAN FRANCISCO - New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, often mentioned as a possible Democratic presidential candidate, said Monday his party must reconnect with voters' core values if it hopes to regain congressional seats and perhaps even the presidency. Partisan fights in the nation's capital must be replaced with policy proposals that strike at the heart of voters' most pressing concerns, such as health care costs and education, he said during a speech at the annual meeting of The Associated Press. "We just can't be negative. We can't just attack the president at every turn," he said. "We have got to...

Senator Kerry, Denial Isn't Just a River in Egypt Posted Thursday, February 10, 2005 Only experiencing a few presidential elections in my life time, I thought the losing candidate was supposed to fade into oblivion. Bob Dole, though still visible as a pundit on some news stations, was relatively quiet following his defeat in 1996. Al Gore, apparently sulking in defeat at McDonald's, faded from the public eye for the first two and a half years of Dubya's presidency, only to re-appear as an angry vitriol spewing lunatic. Still yet, he had all but disappeared. Despite some efforts to "Re-Elect...

SACRAMENTO – In the lingo of old Hollywood hype, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's resurrection of his seemingly dead budget plan by cutting a deal with Democrats last week might have been billed as "The Greatest Comeback Since Lazarus!" But the Democratic leader who spent long hours hammering out an agreement with the Republican governor, sometimes in one-on-one discussions behind closed doors, made a remark that suggests the deal may be the result of more than the governor's political need for an early victory. "The governor has Democratic core values, too," said Assembly Speaker Herb Wesson, D-Culver City. "I think that helped...

Californians have an interesting question to ponder following last week's elections: Why have Republicans taken total control in Washington at the very moment Democrats have total power in Sacramento? California, despite what others might think, is not just one more state. We have 12.1 percent of the U.S. population, 14 million more people than the next largest state, Texas. Our gross domestic product is, by some measures, ahead of that of France. A regional state – Connecticut, say, or Iowa or Louisiana – out of step with national trends is merely a curiosity, but California is no regional state. We...
