"If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." – Abraham Lincoln As Election Day rapidly approaches, many Americans are wondering why so many of their countrymen reject a genuine war hero with decades of experience, one whose pro-life, limited-government values pretty much reflect those of Middle America. Instead, these same countrymen are enthralled with a man who not only has no experience or qualifications for the job, but who is, in fact, the most radically left-wing major-party presidential candidate of...

Below is a letter from the writer, Naomi Ragen, which nails the issues we face on Nov 4th. While the economic issues take center stage, the problem of Islamic theology which causes terror will be much more of an issue over the next four years than the economy. If we as a nation believe in freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness we must elect leaders who stand for those values. If we elect Obama, our freedoms and way of life will be destroyed, if not forever, then at least for some considerable time to come. Germany elected Hitler and...

WASHINGTON--Most of you, I bet, may be curious about the increased number of references lately from McCain campaign and surrogates about one Saul Alinsky as they try to make Barack Obama a risky presidential pick because of his associations. I just heard Sen. Kit Bond (R-Mo.) tell Andrea Mitchell on her MSNBC show that "Obama started out with Saul Alinsky." Not true, if Bond was being literal. Alinsky, born in Chicago … died on June 12, 1972 in Carmel, Calif., when Obama was 20. Obama followed in the footsteps of Alinsky, the legendary Chicago community organizer whose techniques and teachings...

How bitter is the rhetoric getting out on the campaign trail and how red is the meat being tossed out to loyalists? Sen. George V. Voinovich, R-Ohio, told Meigs County Republicans that Democratic nominee Barack Obama is a "socialist." Here is the quote from Voinovich, reported on first today by the Daily Sentinel of Pomeroy, Ohio, during a visit he made to the Meigs County GOP headquarters. The paper reported that: "In relation to Obama, Voinovich told the audience: 'He is left of (Democratic senator from Massachusetts) Teddy Kennedy. With all due respect, the man is a socialist.'" A Voinovich...

Sarah Palin accused Barack Obama of promoting economic policies that resemble “socialism” at a rally here Friday. Palin routed her jab while—again–discussing Joe the Plumber, an Ohio man named Samuel Joseph “Joe” Wurzelbacher who questioned Obama about his economic policies during an Obama campaign stop in Ohio last Sunday. The exchange has catapulted Wurzelbacher to the national stage. “Sen. Obama said that he wants to spread the wealth and he wants government to take your money and decide how to best to redistribute it according to his priorities,” Palin said. Here’s the zinger: “Joe suggested that sounded a little bit...

It is tough being all things to all people and promising more entitlement and spending at every turn, and then talking about “fixing” government and “changing” how Washington does business. The contradiction takes real rhetorical acrobatics to explain away. It is even tougher to hide all the radicals and Marxists you associated with, supported and excused over the years, and the racist clergy that bellowed hatred to your children. Of course, it helps if the press covers for you, ignores the frequent absurdities and falsehoods and inflates your successes. It helps a lot. Since critical analysis is not a skill...

Ever since John McCain won the South Carolina and Florida Republican primaries, the Internet has been awash (ablaze is probably a better word) with assertions, arguments, and proof that he is not a conservative. See, for example, Straight Talk About The Straight-Talker. In the last few days, however, a few commentators have revived long-standing speculation about whether McCain’s non-conservative positions and conduct are rooted in something much darker than mere opportunism or closet liberalism. Some have even characterized McCain as a Vietnam War “Manchurian Candidate”—after the title of the famous 1959 novel by Richard Condon, and the subsequent movie of...

John McCain’s false charge that Mitt Romney favored a set timetable for withdrawing from Iraq underscores how disastrous a McCain presidency would be. Any candidate can make a slight misstatement while talking extemporaneously. Hillary Clinton constantly rewrites her own record and has been caught fabricating, as when she made up the story that on 9/11, her daughter Chelsea was going to jog at Battery Park near the towers, where she heard and saw the catastrophe unfold. But no candidate in this race has gone so far as to baldly fabricate what another candidate has said, as McCain did over the...

There’s a reason some of John McCain's conservative supporters avoid discussing his record. They want to talk about his personal story, his position on the surge, his supposed electability. But whenever the rest of his career comes up, the knee-jerk reply is to characterize the inquiries as attacks. The McCain domestic record is a disaster. To say he fought spending, most particularly earmarks, is to nibble around the edges and miss the heart of the matter. For starters, consider: - McCain-Feingold — the most brazen frontal assault on political speech since Buckley v. Valeo. - McCain-Kennedy — the most far-reaching...

The rumors first surfaced during Obama's run for Senate but took off in a viral e-mail campaign in 2006. One e-mail called Obama "The Enemy Within." GOP strategist Ed Rogers also pointedly mentioned Obama's middle name, Hussein. In January, the Obama campaign was forced to denounce Fox News for repeating a false Insight magazine report that he had spent fours years in an Indonesian madrasa, an Islamic school. Though CNN sent out a reporter who found that the school Obama had attended had nothing in common with the Pakistani incubators for jihadists, and though his campaign has set the record...

REPUBLICAN DATA Giuliani 29%, Thompson 15%, McCain 12%, Romney 8%, Gingrich 8%. Others or none of the above, 28%. Giuliani beats Clinton by 6, 48-42; McCain loses by 3, 42-45. Both lose to Obama (42-46 and 40-48, respectively). 61% of GOP wants to move beyond Bush's policies; only 30% wish to continue (immigration, war, etc?) Sample size was small: only 437 probable Republican primary voters. Article falsely claims, "When the survey reduced the field to three candidates, Giuliani's lead was more decisive: He drew 48% to McCain's 25% and Romney's 20%." In fact, this is only an artifice of having...

There is compelling evidence now that John Kerry is a kind of Manchurian Candidate of Democratic politics. The clues were there all along, if we'd only looked closely enough. His curious combination of self-satisfied superiority and baffled indecisiveness was obviously too contradictory a mental characteristic to be natural. But the plot worked brilliantly. In 2004, as the party's presidential candidate, Kerry threw away a golden opportunity for a Democratic victory. Startlingly, this week, with the Democrats on the brink of their first clear victory in congressional elections for 14 years, the Manchurian Candidate seized a second chance to assassinate his...

After having watched the new and the old Manchurian Candidate this last week, it has occured to me, without actually having conspired among themselves the left has succeeded in brainwashing a segment of sociaty to vote their leftist issues. This week in Missouri, Republicans and Democrats alike voted down homosexual marriage by a margin 72% to 28%. We also voted down new gambling in Branson Mo, a family oriented resort area by a good margin. Both were Mo constitution ammendment issues. But get this, the state is largely controled by Democrats. Many Democrats obviously voted their moral conscience over these...

Brice Lalonde is a former socialist and Green Party leader in France, who ran for President of France in 1981. In 1988 he was named Minister of the Environment, and in 1990 founded the Green Party Génération Ecologie. He was a student leader during the May 1968 student uprisings in France, when riots and upheaval scared the French population away from Revolution and the old Left, but toward an adaptive and calmer socialism. In 1968, Lalonde was President of the Union Nationale des Etudiants de France (UNEF), the French National Students' Union, which brought France to a standstill with protests...

Some snippets: Shriver returns to Democratic roots as first lady to GOP governorBETH FOUHY, AP Political Writer Monday, July 26, 2004 (07-26) 17:52 PDT BOSTON (AP) -- As first lady of California, Maria Shriver spends most days traveling the state as an advocate for her husband, GOP governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Arkansas native Rhodes Scholar. Too obvious for words, just goose bumps. Since he and Clinton met in the sixties for the first time, there has been plenty of time for unnoticed overlap. The full list of Clinton cadre is running his show, one could almost say the “A” team. But this is a guy that was fired and somewhat dissed at the end of the administration. What’s up with that? Actually, “taking a bullet” for the Clinton cause is a time honored sign of his most loyal sycophants. It explains some of my theory. But what is this Manchurian Candidate...
