ENTERTAINMENT OR AN AGENDA?
This week Human Events is honoring Rush Limbaugh. Mark Levin has a Human Events column that can only be described as nothing but abject fawning, gushing, and outright worship. I am fully aware of Limbaugh’s good points. He is well known for his charitable work, and he donates a tremendous amount of money to very worth-while causes. He is one of the single largest donors to leukemia research. For that, I am personally grateful. His donations may have been the tipping point in the medical research that is keeping my cousin Jim alive (and maybe even ... more »

CONSERVATIVES HATE HIM? When is a conservative not a Republican? Are the one in the same? Or....can they be completely different party animals? I have an article over on Right Pundits that is basically an edited version of one I posted on The Pink Flamingo last week. I am pointing it out simply because of the extreme way over the top comments by Ron Paul supporters who consider themselves the minion army of their savior, Ron Paul, who is going to be the GOP version of Barack Obama. If only the extreme, very evil, and very stupid Republicans would dump ... more » Monday, July 28

GOOD STUFF Today I received an email from John Fry, asking me to take a look at his videos. I did. He is exactly what the GOP doctor ordered - an antidote to Obamassiah on Demand Videos.

THEY WILL NEVER LEARN! How long is it going to take for Republicans to figure out that they are REPUBLICANS FIRST and conservatives second? Let's face it, the reason the GOP looks so bad and the reasons our candidates have been on this wonderful losing spree is because they were so darn busy pandering to hard line non Republican conservatives. There are any number of special interests out there who are conservative. I'm a "normal" conservative, but I am a Republican first. Maybe that's the term we need "normal" conservative as opposed to Reagan Revisionist Conservatives who wax poetic about ... more »

DISLOYAL COWARDS ALL There are nearly a dozen candidates for the US Senate (some incumbents) have decided it might be better for their careers and election chances if they basically thumb their nose at the Republican Party that sustains them. They are considering not attending the GOP convention in Minneapolis. Evidently they are so terrified of the "Republican" brand that they are quaking in their boots about being identified as Republicans. It leads to the question: Why the H-E-Double-tooth-pick are they even running as Republicans? Why not just follow Bob Barr and don't let the door hit you in the ... more » Thursday, July 24

NO TIME FOR SOLDIERS? Barack Obama had time in Afghanistan to shoot hoops with a selected group of soldiers. He had time to grandstand in Berlin. But, he DID NOT have time to visit our wounded Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany. None ... more »
"..."We have a severe case of Obama mania in this town, and in Germany, I think, in general people are waiting for the political redeemer. It's seven years of Bush that have made people right for a new face, for a change. People are willing to fall in love again with the United States."..." Wednesday, July 23

NEWT IS RIGHT First, we need to realize that John Edwards is (and probably still is) at the top of the VP list for Barack Obama. Considering the way the MSM is ignoring his little fun and game time with his little friend, the rumors of his selection might just be true. Thank goodness John Edwards is a Democrat. Instead of being reviled for his recent actions, he can now claim the "Kennedy-esque" mantle and thereby join the ever-growing list of Democrats who have profited by their little extra-marital activities. Way to go John Boy! Newt Gingrich is right. ... more » Tuesday, July 22

HIS LIPS ARE MOVING
"...“It is not going to be a political speech,” said a senior foreign policy adviser, who spoke to reporters on background. “When the president of the United States goes and gives a speech, it is not a political speech or a political rally. “But he is not president of the United States,” a reporter reminded the adviser...."

FAKE, BLING & GIANT I emailed one of The Pink Flamingo's readers earlier this evening that Obama is starting to believe his own press. When that happens, a person will soon be toast. The American people don't like arrogance or fakes. Barack Obama is a fake. Unfortunately he is getting 50% more media coverage than John McCain. When one considers how close the polls are, it makes you wonder how far ahead McCain would be if Obama were treated like McCain is being treated. Let's be honest here, the only reason Obama defeated Hillary is the fact that he ran ... more » Friday, July 18

INTELLECTUAL DISHONESTY There is this great and growing dishonest of the far right, embodied by such luminaries as Michelle Malkin, Patrick J. Buchanan, and Laura Ingraham. So, today Malkin is reporting that Republicans in the House are not donating to John McCain, as if they dislike him or something. "...Looks like House Republicans are doing what a lot of grass-roots conservatives are doing–or rather not doing: Not giving John McCain cash. A divider, not a uniter? Via The Hill:..." Malkin quotes from The Hill:"...Few House Republicans have contributed to Sen. John McCain since he clinched the Republican nomination ... more »

DEAL WITH IT John McCain understands that immigration reform is top priority. He, like George W. Bush, also understands that Hispanics are human beings. They are voters. They are NO DIFFERENT from anyone else. Unfortunately, there are any number of "conservatives" who are basically racist. The perfect example, this from Glenn Spencer's site:"...McCain tells 'Tan Klan' so-called immigration reform is top priority..." "...Los Angeles Times 'Tan Klan' Soiree: McCain loses microphone to rabid Mexican Reconquista..." Once again the anti-immigration conservatives, spurred on by their talking points delivered by Dan Stein, the "voice" of the John Tanton network ... more » Sunday, July 13

A TALE OF TWO MEN
"...I was finding that prayer helped. It wasn't a question of asking for superhuman strength or for God to strike the North Vietnamese dead. It was asking for moral and physical courage, for guidance and wisdom to do the right thing. I asked for comfort when I was in pain, and sometimes I received relief. I was sustained in many times of trial...."John McCain When the election season begins, we all wonder who is going to come out on top.

OBAMA OR MCCAIN? If you don't think there is a difference, well, there is. If you are thinking about voting for one of those twitty third parties with spoilers like Bob Barr or Chuck Baldwin, maybe you'd better think again. Jim Fryer at Real World Libertarian posted this. I pilfered it from him.

WHERE'S OBAMA? Today we have learned that during the month of June, John McCain has finally hit the mother lode when it comes to fundraising. He had a $22 Million Dollar June! When you add the funds the RNC has on hand, it's not looking all that bad. According to Outside the Beltway the RNC has something like $95 million cash on hand compared to the DNC's $10 million or so. James Joyner then noted the following:"...It’s a very bizarre strategy on Davis’ part to be bragging about McCain’s fundraising and ability to spend money. Wouldn’t they be ... more »

THE OLDEST PROFESSION Today I stopped off at the bank to do the usual after a week out of town. I noticed that the girls working behind the counter were dressed in a manner that reflected more a ‘Friday’ casual look than banking Tuesday. If their attire was ‘serious’ banking, then I am afraid to see what ‘Casual Friday’ might entail. It reminded me of several things. First, are we going to you know what in a hand-basket because of our sloppy dress? Second, is it any indication of a lapse in societal manners, morals, and customs?I was waxing ... more »

SOME CONSERVATIVES JUST DON'T GET IT REPUBLICANSWhen I hear conservatives wax poetic against John McCain, and some conservatives who swear up and down they are anti-abortion and yet plan to vote for Barack Obama (I'm related to at least one) I mention two words: Stevens & Ginsburg. If they aren't bright enough to figure out to whom I am referring, then there isn't much hope and they are true, clueless Barack Obama voters. But - then there are the conservatives who do get it and are still determined to do everything in their power to insure ... more » Sunday, July 6

INVEST IN NASA Buzz Aldrin is right. If we don't invest in NASA, the Chinese are going to beat us to the Moon and to Mars. Space is our future. As usual, we are piddling it away, to pinch pennies. I am terrified if Barack Obama is elected it is going to be more of the same - just dump the space program and put everything in welfare programs. The UK Telegraph "... Mr Aldrin revealed that he intends to lobby Barack Obama and John McCain, the two US presidential candidates, in an effort to ensure they find sufficient funds ... more »

WHAT IS WRONG WITH FOX? Have you noticed a (not so) subtle change in FOX News lately? If CNN was once the “Clinton News Network” perhaps FOX should now be dubbed the Obama News Network. While I’ve been staying at the Larian (the best place to stay in Tombstone) I’ve been stuck with MSNBC and CNN. I’ve been picking FOX up on my blasted XM (I hate that thing). It is rather remarkable. I am beginning to think that John McCain is getting better coverage and more equal time on CNN. FAIR AND BALANCED – NOT FOX does “Fair ... more »

FRANTIC FUND-RAISING Remember in May, Barack Obama only raised 22 million, his weakest showing to date. June’s numbers are not in yet, but if the frantic fundraising pace is any indicator, June may not be all that good either. Meanwhile, the Dems are crying fowl (intended spelling) over a new loop-hole the GOP has found to raise more money. While there is all this weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth by the Dems and their MSM supporters, maybe they should remember how Obama cheated by going back on his word about federal funds. This is politics, and all is ... more »

FRIDAY, JULY 4 ![]() Tombstone is America in microcosm. In order to understand the heart and soul of America you need to understand two things baseball and Tombstone. More than a mining town, dirty and small minded, Tombstone is a symbol. It is America's version of Camelot. Wyatt Earp is our King Arthur. If the characters and storyline of Tombstone had not existed America would have invented it. Wyatt Earp, age 79, 1928 (Additional photos in this article are copyright SJ Reidhead, 2008. All were taken today, July 4, 2008 in Tombstone, AZ) The Civil War had ended less than 20 ... more »

OKAY, IT’S A CHEAP SHOT It may be a heap shot, but it’s such a good cheap shot I can’t resist it. What do these things have in common: Hugo Chavez Bill Ayers FARC Well, they are Barack Obama’s little Marxist friends, who are getting thrown under the bus in the Obamassiah’s attempt to become more moderate than John McCain. Fact is, it makes the piece that circulated today about John McCain roughing up a Sandinista all the more fascinating. Big Lizards has more on the story. "...President Reagan had a long-term plan to drive the Sandinistas out of power; ... more »

DON'T TREAD ON ME? This Week’s “Subliminal Smear” – McCain’s Experience - via the military. STOP SMEARING BIG MAC Are you as angry as I am? I know politics is politics, but when is enough enough? Today at lunch, I was in tears as I thought about the mistreatment of John McCain, not at the hands of the communists, but at the hands of the Democrats. It wasn’t because I am a supporter of Senator McCain, but because of the past. I was a teenager when those images of the POWs returning home filtered in (black and white) to the ... more »

FASTEN YOUR SEAT-BELTS We could be in for a bumpy ride. Larry Sinclair has provided his phone records - and strangely enough, they point Sinclair, not Barack Obama, telling the truth. From Obama Who? "...“A newly released CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll found that if Obama does not select Clinton as his running mate, 22 percent of her supporters would stay home this fall (almost 4 million voters) — and another 17 percent (a little over 3 million) would vote for McCain.” –CNN (parentheses are mine). So, if we use 2004 as the baseline - GWB won with 62 million voters ... more »
