Alabama fans opposed to Congress meddling with the BCS

“Patriotic to the core, devoted to his players and inspired by a winning spirit that never quit, Bear Bryant gave his country the gift of a legend. In making the impossible seem easy, he lived what we all strive to be.” – President Ronald Reagan about Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant, 1983
My fellow Crimson Tide football […]

If not for the facts, one might think Republican leaders are actually opposed to auto bailouts

To hear FoxNews tell the story, one might think Republicans are opposed to government intervention in what should be private markets. Here’s (source) the Fox title and subtitle:
Critics of Auto Bailout Decry Fallout of Government Intervention
As an auto bailout package looks closer to passage, a group of conservative lawmakers are questioning whether the U.S. government […]

My three latest articles

Over at United Liberty, I provide some thoughts regarding some foreshadowing coming from the new Obama administration: new gun control laws.  Here’s a sample:
First of all, Obama must be pretty out-of-touch with gun laws around the country — based on the wording of the gun questions, at least. In much of the country, we don’t […]

My advice to the Republican Party

Here are a few clips:
There is a lot of talk (and blame) about what the Republican Party needs to do to rebuild itself.  As a campaign Internet consultant, I certainly agree with Patrick Ruffini that change won’t come from the top down and that the Internet is vital in developing real grassroots operations.  However, it […]

The NH Cigar Poll

I don’t know how well he’ll do in the New Hampshire primary today (I’ve downgraded my expectations because of reported high voter turnout), but Ron Paul just won one contest near and dear to my heart.
New Hampshire cigar shop owner Leonard Seagren is looking forward to a more flamboyant political season.
Seagren, who owns Federal Cigar, […]

Iowa Wrap-up

I called it pretty darned close when making my predictions about the Iowa caucuses. Dan’s got a good handle the stats and numbers after the fact.

Pragmatism or idealism: that is the question

Julie@LIA raises a question of importance to people from all political parties and persuasions.  While her argument pertains to Kucinich supporters organizing to stop Hillary in Iowa, some of the questions raised are generally valid to people from across the political spectrum.
We also need to bear in mind that Ralph Nader has threatened to run […]

John Killian Invokes the William Wallace Challenge

Since the movie was produced, it has persisted as one of my favorites.
As William Wallace said in the movie Braveheart, “and in that day, you will lie in your beds, would you trade every day from this day until then to tell our enemies, you may take our lives, but you can’t take our […]

Probable Top GOP Fundraiser Excluded from Republican Presidential Debate?

Chris Brunner, a personal friend who posts at LewRockwell.com, contacted me to get some Ron Paul campaign contact information a few minutes ago.  It looks like he’s been on the ball since then:
From the official campaign website:
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – According to the New Hampshire State Republican Party and an Associated Press report, Republican presidential candidate […]

Who Would Jesus Elect?

Left in Alabama and this site have recently covered the same two issues with similar titles but somewhat different conclusions. It thought it might be interesting to take a look at both the similarities and the differences.
To begin, I don’t think raising taxes in the name of Jesus is a good idea; Mooncat does. […]

Merry Christmas from People Who (Mostly) Will Say Anything for Your Vote

Here’s a wrap up of Christmas television advertising from your most loved and most hated presidential wannabes.
Rudy Giuliani’s ad was somewhat clever, but I’m not sure if he’s trying to pander to the gay vote or having fun with tired old Christmas humor. What’s up with all the fruitcake stuff, anyway?
Hillary Clinton has a […]

Ron Paul’s a Fag…

…according to this logic, at least. At issue are allegations that Ron Paul is racist because his campaign didn’t return a $500 donation made by an alleged white supremacist. Writes disenter:
Using the logic of the Neocon smear machine (1, 2), Ron Paul is now a certified homosexual! That’s right, this is groundbreaking news […]
