When I helped found Greenpeace in 1971, my colleagues and I were firmly opposed to nuclear energy. But times have changed. Nuclear energy is the only non-greenhouse gas-emitting power source that can effectively replace fossil fuels and satisfy growing demand.
Nuclear energy is affordable. The average cost of producing [...] Read more »

McCain’s Essay (since the New York Times won’t publish it!)
E.D. Kain @ July 22, 2008 # No Comment Yet
~by John McCain
In January 2007, when General David Petraeus took command in Iraq, he called the situation “hard” but not “hopeless.” Today, 18 months later, violence has fallen by up to 80% to the lowest levels in four years, and Sunni and Shiite terrorists are reeling from a string of defeats. The situation now is [...] Read more »

DailyKos Thugs Bully Paper to Pull Netroot Nation Story
Warner Todd Huston @ July 22, 2008 # 2 Comments
-By Warner Todd Huston
Just as I finish a piece laughing at DailyKos for claiming that it is conservatives that feel they have to “create their own alternate reality” because of their “rigid ideology,” I find a story out of The Austin American-Statesman where the DailyKos forced that paper to pull a story that had a [...] Read more »

‘Lifelong Conservative’ Throwing all Principles to The Winds and Voting for Obama
Warner Todd Huston @ July 17, 2008 # 3 Comments
Larry Hunter claims he is a “lifelong conservative.” Yet, in his recent New York Daily News article, he also says he is voting for Barack Obama for president. The two simply cannot coexist. One has to be obliterated in favor of the other. And, regardless of the facile reasoning Hunter gives for his apostasy, this [...] Read more »

Attacking Obama
Ian Kristofer @ July 14, 2008 # 3 Comments
I’m going to have to agree with Huckabee for once, when he said:
What I am saying is that we need to challenge Obama on the basis that his ideas are the wrong ones—not attacking him personally. If people spend their time repeating a bunch of internet driven drivel about his middle name (he didn’t choose [...] Read more »

Vijay Kumar for US Congress
E.D. Kain @ July 14, 2008 # 2 Comments
To all Tennessee voters:
CAIR is a direct manifestation of Mohammed’s Sunna and jihad. CAIR is actually just one part of Islam’s strategy to annihilate the Western culture. It is far more dangerous than any Mohammed Atta or any other jihadists.
Lies and deceit are CAIR’s stock-in-trade. They claim to be akin to a “Muslim NAACP,” [...] Read more »

R.I.P. Tony Snow

Tony Snow died today at age 53 after a long fight with cancer. The Nation writes:
Unlike his predecessor, Scott McClellan, who has acknowledged that he was duped by the sleazier elements (Scooter Libby, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney) in the White House, and his successor, Dana Perino, who might charitably be described as “ridiculous,” Snow was [...] Read more »

Is McCain Too Old To Be President? Only If You’re Historically Illiterate
Bill Harrison @ July 9, 2008 # One Comment
by Bill Harrison
Much has been made in this year’s early presidential campaign of voter concerns about John McCain’s age as an alleged defect for his candidacy. These concerns are clearly indicated in polling on the matter but should they really serve as a cause for worry? History suggests they should not.
By all accounts Senator McCain’s [...] Read more »

Senator Warner Proposes 55-mph Speed Limit
Conservemus @ July 6, 2008 # 10 Comments
As a recent Virginia resident, I spent a year and a half thoroughly unimpressed with my elected Senators to the U.S. Senate. I became a Virginia resident just in time to vote for George Allen, who promptly lost to Jim Webb in the fall of 2006. One of my main disappointments with Senators Webb and [...] Read more »

Wordsmiths for Obama: style vs. substance, poetry vs. prose
Guest Authors @ June 27, 2008 # One Comment
by Neo-Neocon
In trying to understand what about Obama appeals so powerfully to his supporters, I’ve decided that some—perhaps even much—of it is style.
He gives a good speech. He has a deep voice. He’s tall. He’s slender. He knows what a dap is. And he can turn a literary phrase.
The latter is the reason some literary [...] Read more »

Obama Likely to Retire Presidential Seal
E.D. Kain @ June 23, 2008 # One Comment
Looks like the buzz over the Obama for America seal has generated some legitimate uproar, and the Obama campaign is poised to retire it altogether.
The LA Times writes:
Widely mocked (here, here and here, to cite but a few of the items that wryly took note it), the intrepid Marc Ambinder of TheAtlantic.com reports that the [...] Read more »

Obama’s New Presidential Seal Likely Illegal
Conservemus @ June 21, 2008 # 7 Comments
Just in case you didn’t think the Obama campaign couldn’t get more arrogant, the Obama campaign unveiled a new Presidential Seal in his run for the Presidency. I’m not sure if this is just supposed to be a cheap campaign gimmick or we’re supposed to actually take this seriously. Is Obama really supposed [...] Read more »

Obama: “Don’t Make Bin Laden a Martyr, Hang Him Instead”
E.D. Kain @ June 19, 2008 # 3 Comments
Well, okay, Obama didn’t actually say “hang him” or at least not in those words. Actually, after meeting with a “newly formed group of national security advisers” Obama…
acknowledged that bin Laden might not be taken alive, but suggested that if he is, the Nazi war crime trials at Nuremberg after World War II would be [...] Read more »

In 2004, Scotland Yard detectives slept on the floor of their offices as they gathered evidence that could be used in court against a terrorist network led by Dhiren Barot.

The Audacity of Hope Revisited
E.D. Kain @ June 17, 2008 # No Comment Yet
Mr. Obama is asking something of Americans. He is asking them to believe, to hope, to take a leap of Faith. Indeed, I fear Barack Obama is askign a great deal more of Americans then they realize. The Junior Senator from Illinois has practically no political record by which he can be judged, [...] Read more »

This isn’t the first sighting of the pictures of these two together. The first was in Obama’s Houston campaign office, where a Che Guevara flag was prominently displayed.
Here the two are displayed in an Ohio judge’s office . Apparently this judge has an attraction to mass murders and Communist thugs–and Barack Obama. In case [...] Read more »

John Coleman, the founder of the Weather Channel, has been one of the loudest opponents of the concept of man-made global warming.

Ian Kristofer @ June 13, 2008 # 4 Comments
Obama has announced his vision for a new payroll tax on those top 3% of Americans making $250,000 or more. Currently, social security payroll tax applies only to those making below $102,000.

E.D. Kain @ June 12, 2008 # 14 Comments
Can Obama win the reddest of Red States, Utah? In this land of conservative Mormon voters, it seems quite unlikely. Still, it looks like the candidate is sending volunteers to woo these unlikely voters…
This on top of the fact that even some Democrats feel that they’re too conservative for Mr. Obama.

Brr! This Global Warming is Freezing My Skin!

It will be interesting to see how the global warming Nazis continue to spin the barrage of data against their cause.

South Dakota To Build First New Oil Refinery in 32 years
Conservemus @ June 5, 2008 # 4 Comments
South Dakota residents should be proud of themselves. In a time when Washington, D.C. offers no solutions and double-talking politicians complain about gas prices while blocking any effort to drill domestically, South Dakota comes through with a solution. Build a big new refinery and force more domestic drilling!

How Many Pastors Does it Take to Screw a Candidate?

During his sermon, Father Pfleger mocked Hillary Clinton’s tears before the New Hampshire primary. He [...] Read more »

Barack Obama: Media Darling

If you follow politics closely, there is a distinct media bias in this country that is evidenced almost on a daily basis. In this current political season regarding Barack Obama, it is more observable than ever.

Bush Administration Falls for Polar Bear Gimmick
Conservemus @ May 15, 2008 # One Comment
As originally reported on TownHall.com, the Bush administration took a page from Al Gore’s playbook and named the polar bear to the “threatened species” list because of anticipated losses of the polar bear due to global warming.

From Little Green Footballs: Obama’s Skeletons, A List
E.D. Kain @ May 14, 2008 # 2 Comments
I read this list over at Little Green Footballs today. It’s a pretty good breakdown of the many less-than-above-board affiliations Mr. Obama has with some pretty anti-Israel characters around the country, including professors, pastors, and advisers. As much as I’d like to believe that Obama will bring change that is good for America, I think [...] Read more »
