Christian Carnival XXII

June 16, 2004

Part One of the Christian Carnival XXII is up (and Part Two ). Check out all the great submissions. I didn’t submit this week because I had no Christian-themed posts, just politics as usual. This is an appropriate segue to a very link-worthy post over at JollyBlogger, “Political Blogging: A few days ago, my post [...]

Latest (Late) Column: Liberals and Their Advice

June 16, 2004

Occasionally I receive e-mails from liberals who advise me on how and what I should write. One of my biggest pet peeves is being told how to write from someone who isn’t paying me to do it. Liberals offering advice, some of whom believe most conservatives are racists, smugly suggest I “tone down the partisan [...]

The Last Bush-Clinton Lovefest Post

June 16, 2004

Based on the comments I received after criticizing President Bush for heaping undeserved praise on Bill Clinton, I need to set the record straight. In no way did I mean to imply that our president (who happens to be a Christian), leader of the free world, commander-in-chief of men and women fighting in Iraq, should [...]

I Was On The Savage Nation

June 15, 2004

What do you know? My post about President Bush’s praise and building up of the impeached Bill Clinton, a man who left the White House in disgrace, whether he thinks so or not, attracted the attention of Michael Savage’s producers (see this site, too). Savage discussed the Bush/Clinton “lovefest” last night and wondered why no [...]

Clinton’s Response to Bush’s “Praise”

June 15, 2004

At the “formal unveiling” of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s White House portraits yesterday, Bush had some kind words to say to them (see White House transcript). Did Bush lavish all that praise on the impeached former president for political reasons, or is he simply a gracious man? For instance, he said Bill Clinton “filled this [...]

Who Is He Talking About?

June 15, 2004

Were you paying attention yesterday? Who said these words, and about whom were they said? “(Blank) showed incredible energy and great personal appeal. As chief executive, he showed a deep and far-ranging knowledge of public policy, a great compassion for people in need, and the forward-looking spirit that Americans like in a president. (Blank) could [...]

The 40th President and the Press

June 14, 2004

The Media Research Center just released a report on the media’s coverage of Ronald Reagan while he was alive: The national media’s often gracious coverage in the days after Reagan’s death obscured the unfortunate historical record of media coverage: a chronicle often filled with not just disagreement, but with disgust, hatred, ridicule, and insults. Liberals [...]

Clinton’s Autobiography: A Freelance Fact Checker’s Dream

June 14, 2004

Now it’s Bill Clinton’s turn to be in the spotlight, his favorite place. His “life story” will be released a week from tomorrow, but I guarantee the heavy media coverage will begin this week. If a freelance fact checker could have landed the gig of fact-checking Bill Clinton’s book, he/she would have hit the jackpot [...]

Why Do You Blog/Read Blogs?

June 11, 2004

Unexpected tears flowed as I watched a tiny, frail-looking Nancy Reagan stroking her husband’s flag-draped coffin. Oh, the pain of the human condition! No matter what ideology we hold, we all face the same fate: death. But believers rejoice in knowing our eternal life will be spent in the presence of God. From what I’ve [...]

Cosby The Conservative, Part II

June 9, 2004

When Bill Cosby released a statement about his remarks at the recent NAACP event honoring the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, I thought he’d issued a cringe-worthy apology for upsetting limousine liberals. What a relief that he didn’t. Instead, it was an attempt to correct liberal media rumors about his remarks: Bill [...]

Retrospectives

June 7, 2004

Prepare yourselves for many excellent retrospectives of Ronald Reagan this week. For you conservatives born after 1980, listen, read and learn. Joseph J. Sabia writes: “The greatest American President of the 20th Century is gone. Ronald Wilson Reagan — the man who revitalized America’s spirit, shaped modern conservatism, and won the Cold War — is [...]
