Forgiving or forgetful?

Mark Hemingway says that “Joe Biden is proof that Americans are kindly forgiving people.” I think he’s proof that Americans are astoundingly forgetful and prone to overlook failure for perceived good intentions.

Do facts matter?

Thomas Sowell expresses his bewilderment over how Obama could be the one getting a bounce from the current crisis brought on by the Democrats.
Abraham Lincoln said, “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.”
Unfortunately, the [...]

Why are Republicans concerned about the polls?

If Obama has a 7-point lead right now it just means he’ll be behind 2 or 3 points on election day. Just Google “Kerry leads Bush” and you’ll find all kinds of examples where Kerry was ahead of Bush. I don’t think there’s any reason to panic with more than a month left before election [...]

I wonder why Gianna is not leading a [...]

Is everyone in Hollywood really this stupid?

Matt Damon’s in the news knocking Sarah Palin. Do these idiots not realize that the country is split 50/50 and that by taking sides in political debates and insulting the other side they’re alienating half their audience? What is wrong with them? I liked Bourne Identity and the sequels, but I’m avoiding the next Matt [...]

More on the comparison between arguments for slavery and abortion

Father Thomas D. Williams had this to say about support for abortion by Catholic Democrats:
It is fascinating to read over texts circulated in the middle of the 19th century in defense of the practice of slavery. When we look back at how revered politicians, intellectuals, and churchmen could seriously defend a practice that now seems [...]

When in doubt, kill, kill, kill?

Obama recently clarified his position on when life begins (before he had said it was “above [his] pay grade”).  In an interview with ABC News’ This Week program on Sunday, Obama said, “What I intended to say is that, as a Christian, I have a lot of humility…all I meant to communicate was that I [...]
