This article (which I stumbled upon at RealClearPolitics.com) seems a clever attempt to bolster the claims of the “Religious Left” that their party (the Democrat Party) is not, despite what others (including Dem Party leaders) say, secular.
Googling the article’s author provided all the context necessary for the article–actually, when the article opened by quoting Mario [...]

There is a great gubernatorial race taking place in Ohio–I would love to be able to cast a vote for Ken Blackwell who is the Republican nominee. Here is the final comment he made during remarks on the night of his primary victory to his Democrat opponent in November: “Message to Brother Strickland: [...]

Unbelievably, John Kerry is still thinking how stupid Americans were for not agreeing with him about whom should be president. Indeed, he’s claiming that the military conflict in Lebanon would not be happening if he were president. Yeah, right.
Here’s a great op/ed from the Weekly Standard about Warren Christopher–who was Secretary [...]

I can still remember the day that I learned to ride a bike . . . while visiting my grandmother in Georgia, a neighbor boy–the veterinarian’s son, urged me to ride his bike in the soft sand of an unpaved Wilmington Island driveway. Hopefully, my daughter will always remember this day when, on a [...]

Whether or not you agree with allowing Terri Schiavo to starve to death, is anybody really supportive of her “widower” in the ordeal? Oh well, he has endorsed Ned Lamont, who is mounting a Lefty primary challenge to Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT). Whatever.

Rich Lowry chronicles the positive developments in recent months on the “activist judges” front. Though the Tennessee S.Ct.’s decision to allow voters to be heard on the issue of homosexual “marriage” isn’t referenced, it certainly belongs in a list of decisions reflecting judicial restraint and separation of powers. An excerpt:
The Washington decision, as [...]

Here’s an insightful op/ed by Peter Beinart, editor-at-large of the notably Liberal The New Republic; an excerpt:
The Democratic Party’s single biggest foreign policy liability is not that Americans think Democrats are soft. It is that Americans think Democrats stand for nothing, that they have no principles beyond political expedience. And given the party’s behavior over [...]

Gore in 2008!!!?

I’m wondering if Al Gore will be appearing with likely DEM senate nominee Harold Ford, Jr. on Aug. 3rd in Nashville. Doubt it. However, according to reports, Gore’s stock appears to be rising among the faithful (that is, faithful to the Democrat Party, mind you).
Concerning Gore’s movie, An Inconvenient Truth, here’s a great [...]

George Michael, who is out and proud about his homosexual activity, is rejecting criticism about his “cruising” for (and engaging in) anonymous sex in a London public park, and he claims his roommate of 10 years does not object, so their planned “wedding” is still on.
[Michael] said he and [his roommate] recently celebrated their 10th [...]

This poll of Tennesseans commissioned by the Knoxville News Sentinel has some really encouraging data in it.
Tennesseans say their government is fair-to-middlin’ in a University of Tennessee poll taken earlier this month.
In a survey of 574 residents, UT’s Social Science Research Institute found that three out of four respondents graded the government in general and [...]
