GOP strays from G-O-D Moral decline brings election defeat By ROY MOORE Published on: 11/23/06 Much has been said and written about the losses suffered by the Republican Party in both houses of Congress in the recent election. While some place blame on President Bush's policy of "staying" the course in the war in Iraq, the real reason for the success of the Democratic Party is that many Republicans have "strayed from" the course of conservative Christian leadership exemplified by President Ronald Reagan. Reagan's adherence to conservative principles and moral virtue helped the Republican Party end nearly 40 years of Democratic control of Congress, but those ...

"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act". --George Orwell "I don't want to be part of your revolution if I can't dance." --Emma Goldman Rumsfeld is gone. Mehlman is gone. Delay is gone. Yet -- let's not have our progressives' version of a strutting on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier moment. Because our mission has not been accomplished. For those who haven't noticed: While we were busy with other concerns, many of our rights and liberties went missing. Moreover, along with them, have went or are going fast: our planet's polar ice caps; accountability of the corporate sector (our nation's true power brokers); as well as, ...

Olbermann Links Domestic Terrorism to 'Right Wing Blogs,' Malkin, Ingraham, Coulter Posted by Brad Wilmouth on November 15, 2006 - 01:33. On Tuesday's Countdown, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann devoted an entire segment (video available on Countdown Web site) to discussing links between a man arrested for domestic terrorism and "far right-wing blogs," describing the man as a "gushing online admirer" of conservative commentators Michelle Malkin, Laura Ingraham, and Ann Coulter, as the Countdown host suggested conservatives had inspired the man to commit terrorism. Olbermann also compared past actions by Malkin (see Malkin's blog for details) to "the King Henry thing ...
Jim Webb's War

Senator Allen of Virginia attempted one of the oddest, clumsiest, and least effective political tactics in recent years — distributing excerpts from various books of his opponent, James Webb, that are replete with graphic sexual imagery and rude language. The books were novels. Voters, recognizing the passages as works of fiction, dismissed the allegations. Mr. Webb won and delivered the Senate to the Democrats. Mr. Allen focused on the wrong writings. Even as Mr. Webb trumpeted his most recent book, a 2004 work of nonfiction, "Born Fighting: How the Scots-Irish Shaped America," Mr. Webb's critics largely left the book untouched. While both David Brooks of the New York ...

There have been a lot of concerns about the end-user license agreement for Windows Vista. For instance, once you agree to the license you are not allowed to publish benchmark results without Microsoft's permission, and you can't install Vista on a virtual machine unless you shell out for the pricier version. Well, I've taken a good look at the license agreement -- I had insomnia -- and I've discovered some clauses that will freeze your blood, curl your hair, and do your nails. Windows Rules: You must agree that the operating system rules. It is suggested, but not required, that you also agree that it rocks. Similarly, you may not access or make use of any feature or application of the ...

Slipped a homeless guy a buck the other day. After he mumbled off down the street, my companion sniffed her disapproval: "It only encourages them, you know. And he'll just use it for drugs or alcohol." I had looked him squarely in his gimlet eye. I could smell his breath. Safe to say she was right. "Who the hell cares what he uses it for?" I said. "If it kills the pain for a few hours, I'm happy to help." The do-gooders call this "enabling" and in their simple, black-and-white world this can do the poor street addict nothing but harm. I'll agree it does him little good. But in the moment it took me to fish a dollar from my pocket, press it into his ...

We have the image: Minuteman We have the issue: Illegal Alien invasion / borders are not enforced We have the passion: ALL Americans want border security We already have impassioned citizens across the country ready for a new party, ready for someone to do SOMETHING about this issue. Political parties cannot be drawn up on an ideological plan. They are created in resonse to an issue the current parties WON'T address, and due to parties who DON'T listen to their constituents. Parties are formed out of Frustration, Anger, and determination. We have ALL the ingredients, and more. All that is left to do is to FORM A NEW MINUTEMAN PARTY!! Who's on board to get this started?

The Wreck of the War Party

The Wreck of the War Party Doug Bandow The wild, drunken neocon joyride is over. After running as the candidate of national restraint and humility, George W. Bush metamorphosed into a modern Alexander the Great, promising to bring civilization and democracy to both the known and unknown worlds. He mobilized popular support for war in Iraq by manipulating dubious intelligence and spinning idyllic fantasies. The Republicans increased their congressional majorities by demonizing their critics, suggesting that opposition equaled defeatism and treason. The results were GOP victories in 2002 and 2004. But like a classic Ponzi scheme, the Republican political scam eventually had to end. For a ...

As conservatives survey the battlefield of American politics the morning of November 8, it is not a pretty sight. The nation’s capitol has fallen into the hands of those who would rather switch than fight, except when it comes to big government, higher taxes, abortion, illegal immigration, and socialism. The man most responsible for the smoldering ruins of conservatism is President G.W. Bush. From the war in Iraq to his complete abandonment of Republican principles on all issues except lower taxes, G.W. Bush has been a complete disaster for the conservative movement. Of all of Bush’s wrongheaded notions, his foolish policy on border security and illegal immigration has been ...

On Sept. 11, 2001, we, the people of the United States, were attacked on our own soil. Nearly 3,000 fellow Americans were murdered on our own land. Three hundred forty- three police and firefighters were killed doing their job, trying to save others. This was the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil in the history of our nation. Have we forgotten the U.S. Marines killed in Beirut, the airmen killed in the Khobar Towers attack in Saudi Arabia, the sailors in the USS Cole, and all the others in the Pentagon, Pennsylvania and the World Trade Centers? We did not start this war - terrorists did. But since Sept. 11 we have taken the fight to the enemy, on their home turf. We have lost 2,800 ...

Once again, credit where credit is due: This column is the result of a conversation with a friend with whom I often discuss geopolitics — and an exceptionally creepy waking experience I had. This may be one of the weirdest pieces I've written; let's just hope for our sakes that weird is all it is. Ever wake up with a popular song in your head? Maybe you heard it the night before, or went to sleep with the television on, or it was playing on the clock radio that woke you on a given morning? Well, I can't recall any of the above, but I awoke this morning with the following verse in my head: "If you're going to San-fran-cisco, Be sure to wear some radiation gear..." Like I ...

Frank Schaeffer: I should be supporting Allen. Instead, I'm leaving the party. I'm a Christian, a writer, a military parent and a registered Republican. On all those counts, I was disgusted by an e-mail I just received that's being circulated by campaign supporters of Republican George Allen, who's trying to retain his Senate seat in Virginia. The message goes like this: "First, it was the Catholic priests, then it was Mark Foley, and now Jim Webb, whose sleazy novels discuss sex between very young teenagers. ... Hmmm, sounds like a perverted pedophile to me! Pass the word that we do not need any more pedophiles in office."Democrat James Webb is a war hero and former ...
Pat Buchanan - Why the GOP is losing

Why the GOP is losing Entering the weekend before his midterms, George Bush and his party appear fated to lose the House they have held for a dozen years. The Senate is on a knife's edge. The latest polls continue to show that by 52 percent to 37 percent Americans wish to see a Democratic takeover. Approval of Congress has never been lower. Americans think the nation is on the wrong track. Support for the war in Iraq has collapsed to a third of the nation. What went wrong? Certainly, on three traditional Republican issues – strong military, conservative judges and lower taxes – the GOP remains America's Party. How do we know? Because no Democrat in a close race is calling, ...
John F. Kerry: Still "Unfit for Command"

John F. Kerry: Still Unfit for Command In 2004, the American public had grown impatient with the war on terror, especially the Iraq Theater. At that point, the nation appeared willing to at least consider alternatives to the Republican stranglehold on the White House and the U.S. Congress. For their part, Democrats were willing to politicize the war if such a tactic would help depose President George W. Bush. Even so, pragmatic Democrats sensed the danger of campaigning too vigorously against the war because Americans had also grown impatient with politicians whose only solution to conflict seemed to be appeasement. To the dismay of many party leaders, in early 2004 Howard Dean had ...

Comedian Bill Cosby is not known for being timid when discussing some of the hot-button issues in black America. He has ignited controversy nationwide in the last two years with scathing critiques that black parents and teachers are failing their children, and with the assertion that black society cannot blame white people for low-scoring urban schools and teenage crime. ADVERTISEMENT http://www.griffithobservatory.org/"> SRC="http://m1.2mdn.net/1224309/banner300x250.jpg" BORDER=0> But while some black leaders and educators have condemned his criticisms, he was greeted with sustained applause Saturday when he took on the black educational system in front of hundreds ...

One can either move to Australia or commit suicide. Some really desperate folks are even thinking of becoming liberals! To those undecided between suicide and becoming a liberal, please consider the inconsistency and irrational thinking needed to embrace the liberal agenda * Execution of a convicted killer is cruel, unusual & barbaric; whereas a woman’s right to abort the life of an innocent child is inalienable. * Starving an innocent victim like Terri Schaivo to death is acceptable; using lethal ...

I am your typical Republican "supervoter." .... But I'm seriously considering ending that streak this Nov. 7. ... I'm also a contrarian -- a conservative with libertarian leanings. Combine all these characteristics, then mix in the aggregate Republican record, allow the ire it has created to rise and bake it for a few years and here's what comes out of the oven: A party base that's mad as hell and no longer willing to rationalize GOP failures. It's a base whose crust grows darker and thicker -- i.e., angrier -- when prominent conservatives and Republicans -- politicians, pundits, radio talk-show hosts and think tankers sensing impending electoral doom -- pop out of their ...

It Is Time For Christians To Leave The Republican Party posted October 17, 2006 "Jesus wasn’t riding an elephant into town" There would probably be more believers if more Christians thought this way. I am grateful for the many GOP leaders have done to fight for Christian values in America. Although fine Americans such as Billy Graham,Dr. D. James Kennedy Tony Evans, Joel Osteen, Don Wildmon, Dr. D. James Kennedy, Tony Perkins, Phyllis Schlafly, T.D. Jakes, James Dobson, Franklin Graham, John Hagee, Pat Robertson, Ron Parsaly, Ron Phillips and others have fought the fight as well for the pro-family movement. We all have scars to prove it. But it is time to build an ark. It ...

Frank Rich has taken aim at GOP hypocrisy regarding gays in his column in the Sunday New York Times. Rich argues that Republicans employ gay staff members at the highest levels, yet they champion anti-gay measures, even while neglecting solutions for pressing issues of the day. He points to the swearing-in on Tuesday of a high ranking gay State Department official, Mark Dybul: At the event, Secretary of State Condi Rice referred to Dybul's partner's mother as his "mother-in-law." "Could wedding bells be far behind?" Rich asks snarkily. Rich's "outing" takes a swipe at such staunch gay bashers as Sens. Rick Santorum, James Inhofe and Mel Martinez, all of whom ...
