RSS Feed

July 26, 2004

Before I begin today’s rant, I want to respond to some commenters about my RSS feed. If you’re browsing in Mozilla, you can see the feed; if you’re using IE, you can’t. There may be some exceptions. For those who can’t link to the feed, try this: RSS 0.92 Can you see it? I’ll add [...]

Blog Design Credit

July 23, 2004

Do some of you really think I designed this site? I don’t have that kind of patience. Check out the blogroll. See the different size fonts? Although I thought I fixed that, it’s still acting up. Last night I fiddled with it and gave up. This morning I fiddled with it and gave up. That’s [...]

Samuel “Sandy” Berger Won’t Go To Jail…

July 23, 2004

…where he belongs! I didn’t want to blog about this, but since everyone else is doing it, I decided to do it, too (yes, if everyone jumped off a cliff, I’d jump off, too). Here’s a synopsis: Sandy, National Security Advisor under Clinton, pilfered classified documents to help the Democrats, Clinton, himself and the Kerry [...]

Welcome To My New Place!

July 22, 2004

Hello! Pardon the mess. As you can see, I have lots of work to do. I was going to make my debut on Monday, but asked myself, “Why?” I’m moving in and feeling my way around WordPress. I have to complete my blogroll and sidebar, upload a photo and play around with CSS. Want to [...]

How Deep Is Your Family Tree?

July 21, 2004

Roots was compelling and innovative television for its time. There was never anything like it up until 1977 nor anything like it since. I was too young to understand most of it the first time I watched it, but I remember a couple of fights breaking out in my elementary school during the week it [...]

Chappaquiddick: Ted Kennedy’s Albatross

July 20, 2004

The death of Mary Jo Kopechne and subsequent cover-up by Ted Kennedy will follow him to his grave. For the time being, it’s following him to the Democratic National Convention, scheduled to open this weekend, the continuation of the 35th “anniversary week” of Chappaquiddick that began last Monday. Last month, New York Post columnist Eric [...]

John McWhorter And The NAACP

July 20, 2004

John McWhorter writes: The NAACP is stuck in a mindset that worked 30 years ago but makes little sense today. Mfume and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond boast that the organization is committed to “speaking truth to power,” continuing the tradition that the organization was founded upon in 1909. This was urgent in an America where [...]

Rights Of Illegal Immigrants

July 20, 2004

A commenter challenged some assertions I made in yesterday’s post about illegal aliens in Virginia who believe they have a right to be enrolled in public colleges and receive in-state tuition, although they’re not even citizens of this country. The commenter wrote: “[I]llegal aliens’ rights are not coterminus (sic) with citizens’ rights, but they have [...]

Conservative University 2004/Lunch With Star

July 19, 2004

I have to go in reverse order. Star Parker (she’s on the right) and I had lunch on Saturday. Whatever happened before that, I don’t remember. I admired this woman when I was still a liberal, completely amazed by her “welfare queen to entrepreneur” story and confrontational attitude. As a young woman, Star was caught [...]

Virginia Esta Para Los Amantes!

July 19, 2004

Translation: Virginia is for lovers. Constitution lovers. Despite having a Democrat in the governor’s mansion, at least one judge and the Attorney General in that state understand what protections and privileges our Constitution promises and to whom they are given: United States citizens. I think I’ll move to Virginia. Finally a judge is willing to [...]

Signing Off For The Weekend

July 16, 2004

I’m signing off early to continue preparing for the Conservative University 2004 conference tomorrow at Georgetown University. I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m less nervous today than I was last week. Last Friday’s rant post must have released a lot of nervous tension. Besides, I’m as prepared as I’m going to be. This [...]

Abortion Factory Teaches “Life Management”

July 16, 2004

Non-profit child-killing organization Planned Parenthood is teaching “life management” skills to children whose mothers decided to let them live (catch the irony?). Columnist Rod Thomson writes: Planned Parenthood is teaching public school students about human sexuality and pregnancy prevention in a mandatory class on basic life skills…. Here’s the deal. The schools have a class [...]

Packing Heat In VA/Defenseless In DC

July 16, 2004

Part of this post was adapted from a column I wrote last year. Citizens are walking around Virginia with unconcealed weapons. Apparently, this is how it happened. After the changes in the law, the murder rate in Virginia decreased dramatically. One is allowed to carry unconcealed weapons in VA, but you must apply for a [...]

Rod Paige’s Message To Kweisi Mfume And Julian Bond

July 15, 2004

“You do not own, and you are not the arbiters of, African-American authenticity,” writes Education Secretary Rod Paige in response to the NAACP’s latest attacks on black conservatives. From the Associated Press: Paige took aim at two NAACP leaders, chairman Julian Bond and president Kweisi Mfume, for what he called “hateful and untruthful rhetoric about [...]

Appeasing The Insane/Dying For Freedom

July 15, 2004

What’s worth fighting and dying for these days? Liberty? Country? Family? If I were held hostage by neck chopping lunatics, I’d like to believe I’d be heroic enough to urge President Bush to keep fighting in Iraq. I’d do so not because I hate Iraq; I hate tyranny and evil. Seeing it in my mind, [...]
