A reader chides us for not discussing the Patriot Act. Well, there are a lot of issues we don't address because, after all, we are only one blog. We can't write about everything. To my knowledge no one on this...

The New York Times broke this great story two days ago. Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York, asked Judge Roberts for his views on New York Times v. Sullivan, the 1964 Supreme Court decision that revolutionized American libel...

Bush seeks to federalize emergencies

NUTS! The emperor has no clothes! Bush is NOT a conservative! Get it yet?

The So-called Republican President is rapidly demonstrating his true identity as a genuine FDR democrat: strong on national security, consistantly in pursuit of an expanded role for the Federal government in for example education, healthcare, and now THIS proposal for the Feds to trump the primary responsibility for emergency preparedness, and first-responder type services.

So much for federalism and the 10th amendment, as the MSM and assorted sheeple bleat for more feed from the Great Father in Washington, instead of looking to their own wits to maybe do some planning and preparation for expected natural (or un-natural) calamities.

Why is it too much to expect that a Republican leader could actually promote restraint of the growth of the Federal government, without turning our back on the apparent civilizational confrontation with Islamofascism.

What we need at this point in politics is SOMETHING that still believes in the attitude of the now thoroughly defunct Reagan Revolution: domestic restraint & a robust national security. Ronaldus Magnus has to be spinning in his grave.

I don't watch much television that doesn't involve balls, pucks, and some method of keeping score, but couldn't resist tuning in to about five minutes of the Emmys last night. The only person I recognized in the time I was...

Common sense on terrorism

In earlier postings here and here, the Chief has heartily endorsed Gov. Mit Romney's comments on the need for some constructive focus of resources (profiling!) to identify hot spots of Islamofascism in advance of bad things happening.

Jeff Jacoby at JWR echoes this common sense approach to homeland security and the terrorism threat.

I told you so!
