The I-35 bridge hadn’t been down for long before the blame game got started. The first such article to catch my eye was posted by Sean Mullen who said: I would like to ask a small favor of the bloggers who are all over this story: Is there even the slightest chance that the maintenance…

Needle Exchange Illogic
Under the heading of liberal issues that do not matter, Ben Smith says that Barak Obama has come out in favor of lifting the ban on funding needle exchange programs with federal money while Hillary has been reluctant to declare herself opposed to the ban. Why? Because Bill Clinton implemented it in 1998 after Donna…
Liberal’s Love
The Texas Rainmaker says that liberals all over America are showing their typical grace and genuine love for mankind by publicly proclaiming that they hope Supreme Court Justice John Roberts dies as a result of the seizure he suffered yesterday. A couple of the choice ones TTR rounded up: “Lets hope he is injured seriously….
Immigration Tragedies
U.S. District Judge James Munley recently ruled that a landmark municipal law cracking down on illegal immigrants is unconstitutional and I’m both angered and afraid that this will set a precedent banning similar ordinances proposed around the country. Advocates for illegal immigrants hailed the ruling against a law in Hazleton, Pa., as a victory and…
Reasonable Accommodation
Does it help America to be accommodating to the physically and mentally impaired? Political correctness demands that this question and others like it not be asked. Why? Because the answer is so clearly “Yes” that no further examination is needed? That anyone who would dare question the rights of the disabled is of such low intelligence that…

Real Hate Crime
Is there any crime more heinous than radical Muslims’ hatred of women? I doubt that Banaz Mahmod would think so – if she were still alive. 20 years old, beautiful, the victim of a deplorable arranged marriage, and a woman in love with the wrong man, Banaz was raped repeatedly by two Muslim men, one her…
Illegal Immigrants’ Families
As a husband it’s difficult to imagine the suffering of a spouse or child who sees his/her family torn apart when a parent is arrested and deported for immigration violations. Human Rights Watch says that’s happened to over 1.6 million illegals in the last 10 years. The widespread impact on American families has been truly…
Allen West on Liberalism and Islam
Atlas Shrugs posted a brilliant column written by Allen West, a Lt. Colonel running for Congress in Florida. An excerpt: If Liberals admit there is a problem, they could be called upon to act. Liberals are blinded by the fear of action. They rest their hope upon the “reason” and “benevolence” of an enemy, an…
Censoring the Web
Remember 10 years ago, way back in 1997, when you got your first email account and swore off snail mail forever? Email was the bomb and surfing the web was the coolest thing ever. Then the first thought hit you – I could put my own content up, rave against the machine, all that jazz. …
