This blog is inspired by email debate which began in 2000 with a friend of mine as the November elections of that year approached. He cast his lot with George W. Bush against my rumblings that a vote for a Republican might just as well be cast for a Democrat. Further, the blog will explore geopolitical truths otherwise ignored.Jeffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13271050344056791187noreply@blogger.comBlogger2071100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30698709.post-84205590720524816522009-08-24T15:20:00.003-05:002009-10-23T16:43:15.165-05:00

by Walter E. WilliamsAugust 05, 2009"No one has a right to harm another." Just a little thought, along with a few examples, would demonstrate that blanket statement as pure nonsense. Suppose there is a beautiful lady that both Jim and Bob are pursuing. If Jim wins her hand, Bob is harmed. By the same token, if Bob wins her hand, Jim is harmed. Whose harm is more important and should the beautiful

The author of this article points out what many inherently know. For all of their banter when the Democrats are in control, most GOP do exactly the same and sometimes worse when they themselves are in power. The majority of the GOP lack principle. Period. Most have no idea what conservatism is anymore, let alone Constitutional government. July 27, 2009By J. Frank Jad© 2009 The Republican Party

Tad DeHaven • June 4, 2009A month ago, President Obama issued a list of proposed spending cuts that I dismissed as “unserious” due to the fact that they were trivial when compared to his proposed spending and debt increases. Today, the House Republican leadership released a list of proposed spending cuts.I’d love to say I’m impressed, but I can’t.Both proposals indicate that neither side of the

This is a re-post in part of a June 2008 post entitled: "John McCain: Good for the Supreme Court?" With the upcoming vote on Sotomayor it might be good to review the voting records of Democratic and the GOP Senators on leftist and centrist judges standing for confirmation.

Some great information regarding myths. While the article attacks Obama, as you read, please remember our earlier posts which make clear that the GOP by offering an "alternative" health care plan believe 1) the government belongs in healthcare 2) that it was the GOP which pushed a multi-trillion dollar unfunded liability in Medicare Part D 3) it is the GOP in their "alternative" plan that borrows

Please note the date of the article is 2005, in the midst of a time when the GOP controlled all 3 branches of government. The GOP during the 2000-2008 time period was growing government in peak years at 8%, the same rate at which the most recent budget proposal rises.

Once again, no philosophical difference between the two parties: Both parties believe in the unconstitutional intervention of the government into the health care industry and health insurance market. This is from the same party that blasted (correctly) the Clinton's in the 1990s regarding their health care designs. Then the GOP created a multi-trillion dollar unfunded liability when they passed

The irony of this article by Karl Rove is that the "reversals" (we said all along here that Obama's stance on the military issues would continue Bush policies in spite of his rhetoric) that Rove praises are all doubtful as to their worthy stature.

by Henry A.

On one level, the financial collapse represents a major blow to

The rich vs. the polsbyWalter E. WilliamsWednesday, January 7, 2009 Sometimes I wish there were a humane way to get rid of the rich. Without the rich for whipping boys, we might be able to concentrate on what's best for the 99.5 percent of the rest of us. Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, with about $60 billion in assets each, are America's richest men. With all that money, what can they force us to
