Islamofascists Don’t Wear Ties

Bush is a Fascist!
Before you cry foul, here’s a picture to prove it:

Notice the similarity? Is it the thirst for power? The beady-eyed stare? No, look closely…
Bush and Hitler both wear ties!
Before you start sending me hate-mail, let me make clear I realize this assertion is ridiculous. It is […]

A Life’s Work

This term I am teaching an 8:00am University Physics class. For those who aren’t familiar with university life, no one wants an 8:00am class. The students don’t want it because it is too early. They usually struggle to get to class on time, and are often so tired they fall asleep in […]

Quality of Life

The way I see it, people frame their political views based on the idea of “quality of life.” What you see as central to your quality of life frames your political views. Take any political issue, and I would bet your views on it can be traced back to your opinion on what […]

Shamefully trivializes? Or dangerously avoids?

I’m supposed to be writing something else write now, but I foolishly checked the news on CNN.com one more time. Something got me so riled that I can’t go on until I compose this. I even have another post underway, but that’ll have to wait…
I read an article that discusses the national security issues for […]

First Whisper

In the car, on the way to a dentist appointment, I happened to catch some of Eliot Spitzer’s State of the State Address. He said some things that were interesting, some ideas, legislation proposed, etc. But what really got me to focus was this quote,
You can’t change the world by whispering.
This is one […]

Dear Ann Coulter

I can’t say I’m surprised by your declaration of democrats and liberals as a sleeper cell, but I must say I am disappointed. You are clearly intelligent, and have a panache for radical punditry, but here’s the thing: your broad generalizations of “Conservatives good! Liberals evil!” is disingenuous at best and unpatriotic at worst. […]

John Edwards Stays the Course

Democrat John Edwards has officially declared his candidacy for the Presidency. The announcement came from New Orleans where Edwards was shown helping folks rebuild their homes after Katrina. The video I saw on CNN (go to the “Edwards explains why he’s running for president again” link on the page) was standard democratic “man of […]

Dangers of a Christian Nation

Dennis Prager and his ilk are still up in arms over Keith Ellison’s desire to take his Congressional oath of office while holding a Koran. According to Prager, this should be forbidden “not because of any American hostility to the Koran, but because the act undermines American civilization.”
Apparently the Koran doesn’t […]

Round Two

Time for round 2. I thought perhaps when I wrote about Minnesota Representative-elect Keith Ellison’s desire to be sworn into office using the Quran, I was at the tail-end of the story…it was old news. Apparently not for everyone…
Representative Virgil Goode (R-Virginia) recently sent out a letter to his constituents which was, according to […]

Dear Tom DeLay

Congratulations on your new blog. I am glad to see a prominent politician such as yourself enter the blogosphere with an intent to “further the online discussion in the marketplace of ideas.” Too often politicians provide little more than liberal vs. conservative punditry with no real willingness to engage in serious civil discourse. […]
