Thanks to The Constitution, The Progressives of Vanity Fair Have Suddenly Discovered Fiscal Discipline

| January 6, 2011 | Comments (1)

This story in Vanity Fair absolutely flabbergasted me when it popped up in my RSS feed this morning. If progressives have developed such an aversion to the United States Constitution that they will unashamedly argue that reading it in the House today will cost too much money, they have utterly surrendered the issue entirely. At [...]

I spent a little time over the weekend with Judge Vaughn Walker’s decision to invalidate Proposition 8. For those of you who haven’t yet heard of the Dread Proposition That Took Us All Back To the Days Of Jim Crow And Tyrannosauruses, let me give you a quick rundown. Prop 8 was a ballot item [...]

Funny. Making Jeremiah Wright Happy Isn’t In the Oath of Office.

| July 8, 2010 | Comments (2)

I must admit, I’m baffled by how this administration is using the Justice Department to uphold our Constitution. We have gotten a pretty confusing message in the past few days from what behaviors Eric Holder and President Obama have sanctioned and what they want to prevent.

The State of the Union After “The State of the Union” is Unimpressed

| January 28, 2010 | Comments (1)

As promised, I didn’t watch President Obama’s State of the Union address last night but I did read the speech today and spent a bit of my lunch hour seeing what others said about the speech. Without unpacking the whole speech, which would probably take five or six separate posts, I’ll share a couple basic impressions: 1) [...]

I’m in Favor of Hawaii’s Islam Day and Think We Could Use a Lutheran Day, Too.

I imagine a few folks are going to get excited about the news that Hawaii has officially designated an Islam Day to celebrate “the rich religious, scientific, cultural and artistic contributions” of Islam.
