Drunken Moonbat Goes Barking Wild
Gee, I wonder which political party this enthusiastic anti-war moonbat votes for? Another great example of the unhinged Left. But, don't blame him, it wasn't his fault. He was upset about the war in Iraq.... [read more]

Presidential candidate comments on North America
What diplomatic, trade, and foreign policy approach should the United States take toward the rest of the North American continent? How should the United States approach such issues as statehood for Puerto Rico and trade relations with Canada and Mexico, our nearest neighbors to the north and south? One approach worth considering is included in the following, a substantive excerpt from the text of a past speech announcing a presidential candidacy. A link to the entire text of the speech...

Blog Victimization: Political Trolls
There was a news story this weekend about liberal blogging and what in-roads they are making on the polls. That said, according the Washington Post, only 2 percent polled read political blogs. Hmmm... Makes one think how desperate the news is for stories and what their agenda is. Coincidently, and with much surprise, I discovered an unrelated and unsolicited comment on a family members blog this weekend about attacking the Fox News Station. Now, if the post had been at...

Latest Message from Fred Thompson
( Darn- the thing wouldn't cut n' paste correctly- anway... ) From Fred: In the past few months, I've traveled the country talking and listening to folks. I've been discussing where I see America going, about what we need to do to keep our nation secure, what we must do to keep this remarkable economy growing, and the challenges we must address together for the next generation of Americans. I believe the United States is at a crossroads, and... [read more]

Seattle City Clowncil: Now with more land seizing power!
Well, they've actually been able to do it for awhile but Bruce Ramsey brings up a great issue in his article today. The city gets to decide what properties are considered "historical landmarks." And while agree that some properties in the city should be preserved because of their historical value the example given in this article is clearly out of line (but such is the typical behavior of the Clowncil). These sorts of things, as one owner opines, should be... [read more]

We're doing it for the sex predators not the children!
So here we go again, mixing apples and oranges and calling it an argument. Robert Jamison, Seattle PI columnist, tries to confuse the reader by making assumptions that meting out judgment is some how emotional. Judgment by its very nature is made to leave out emotions and having tough sentencing law for those who commit evil acts especially against innocent little kids is expected in a community that claims they are "doing it for the children." One has nothing to... [read more]

R.I.P. Washington State Death Penalty
Prosecutors in the Linnik murder decided not to seek the death penalty against Terapon Adhahn. This was in exchange for revealing where her body was located. So any reasonable murderer can conclude one thing. If you do a decent job hiding the body, if caught, you can spare your life in Washington state.... [read more]

A Message from Bernard Kerik to John Edwards The following is excerpted from http://www.thekerikgroup.com/documents/JohnEdwardsBumperSticker.pdf June 15, 2007 A message to John Edwards and those that think just like him... The War against Terror is not a "Bumper Sticker" Look at this picture: http://www.thekerikgroup.com/documents/JohnEdwardsBumperSticker.pdf ... remember it and never forget it. It is not a Bumper Sticker and should be a constant reminder that the terror threat is real. Know that there is evil in the world and it must be... [read more]

Rape of the Truth-The Second Pillar of Secular Humanism
Truth, according to Realism, is not a subjective touchy feely process of dialectical thinking like our progressive friends have convinced themselves that it is. The traditional classical definition of truth is a correspondence between our subjective thoughts, and objective existence or reality. Our thoughts are not identical to reality and shouldn't be confused with reality itself. However, our progressive counterparts, for the most part, believe that reality is entirely subjective, with all of reality being inside the brain of the... [read more]

Denial of Reality-One of the Five Pillars of Secular Humanism
Recently, I wrote a piece called Suspicious Terrorist Activity Detected in Seattle. For some on the unhinged side of politics, the reaction I got was not of concern for the safety of the youth, and those who work at the King County Juvenile Court, or that even Seattle IS A TARGET on the terrorist's radar screen. Nope, the looney leftists got their panties in a bunch because I profiled! Yep, profiled. I practice discrimination and I make value judgments. To... [read more]

Suspicious Terrorist Activity Detected in Seattle!
This morning, as a first arrival, I was advocating for a youth at the King County Juvenile Court. As we sat in the lobby which seats approximately 150 people, my vigilant American eagle eyes spotted a Middle Eastern man casually dressed with the Shari'ah regulation beard and mustache walking into the waiting lobby. He took a seat up against a wall on the far side of the room where he had a full view of the whole room. This large... [read more]

Marcy or Darcy- What's the difference??
July 11th- from www.redstate.com by Rep. Kay Granger The most ridiculous moments came today during an Appropriations Committee mark-up when Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) offered an amendment that raised concern about pet cats in public housing facilities that are being declawed. Here's the actual language of the amendment offered by Rep. Kaptur: "The Committee is concerned about reports that some Public Housing Authorities are requiring residents to declaw their pet cats, although HUD regulations do not contain such a requirement....

2nd Amendment Assault at OSHA
ETERNAL VIGILANCE IS THE PRICE OF LIBERTY ASSAULT ON THE SECOND AMENDMENT AT OSHA The gun grabbers are getting desperate. They are attempting to sneak through an OSHA regulation that would severely restrict the available of ammunition. PROPOSED REGULATION WOULD: *Prohibit possession of firearms in commercial "facilities containing explosives"--an obvious problem for your local gun store. *Require evacuation of all "facilities containing explosives"--even your local Wal-Mart--during any electrical storm. * *Prohibit smoking within 50 feet of "facilities containing explosives." *Make...

NBC got caught in a lie! What else is News?
Sunday evening NBC ran its puff piece on ex-KGB spy and so called martyr, Alexander Litvinenko, who, was "poisoned" in London by polonium-210 back in 2006. NBC, as usual, fails to tell the real story. Shame on them! I realize that most readers will know what I am about to say, but it's worth repeating and serves as a reminder that there is evil out there, and the people, rather, terrorists controlled by this evil are planning to kill you...

Steve Beren says McDermott should pay fine and resign
Steve Beren says McDermott should pay fine and resign July 9, 2007 - Seattle, Washington On the floor of the House of Representatives on June 28, far left Congressman Jim McDermott said that Vice President Dick Cheney "should resign or face impeachment." But ironically, despite his hyperbole directed at the Vice President, McDermott himself is in severe legal jeopardy. In May, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that McDermott was acting unlawfully when he... [read more]

The Right to Life and Human Dignity - article by Dr. Leon R. Kass
Excerpt from article by Dr. Leon R. Kass, Hertog Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research Full article available at http://www.aei.org/docLib/20070702_NewAtlantisSpring2007.pdf Issues of individual rights tend to stand at the very center of legal disputes and moral debates in the United States. This is no accident, for "rights talk" is as American as apple pie. The moral bedrock of our republic is, as the Declaration of Independence proclaims, the self-evident truth that all men are equally endowed... [read more]

Abortion International (article by Ryan T. Anderson of First Things)

Anderson 07/16/2007, Volume 012, Issue 41 Amnesty International has come in for some bad press recently. Can a human-rights organization be taken seriously when its annual report dwells more on abuses in America and England than in Belarus and Saudi Arabia? When it rebukes Israel far more often than Iran, Libya, Syria, and Egypt? Or when it asks who has the worst human-rights record among Darth Vader, Hobgoblin,... [read more]

You Don't Tug on SuperFred's Cape
It's sounding more and more likely that Fred Thompson will run for the Republican nomination for President. Can he win, though, when it's well known that his penchant for bureaucracy nearly kept Bruce Willis and Clint Eastwood from getting the job done against terrorists and assassins? I think he can. Actually, the more I find out about Fred Thompson, the more I think he needs to be President. And I mean he should be President right now, like Dick Cheney... [read more]

Steve Beren Replies to Ted Kennedy on Amnesty
July 4,2007 - (please feel free to forward to others and/or post elsewhere as appropriate) When the amnesty bill was defeated last week, the New York Times reported on the angry and disappointed reaction of Senator Ted Kennedy, whom they described as the "chief Democratic architect of the bill": [Kennedy] said many senators "voted their fears, not their hopes." Referring to opponents, Mr. Kennedy said: "We know what they don't like. What are they for? What are they going to... [read more]

Even Jesus Stands at the Door & Knocks! So Should You!
I never thought I'd be in a room with over 100 people pissed off at President Bush and let's face it Congress critters, too, but I was there-I saw it and it's about dang time! Last night at the Everett Elks Club fed up voters made their voices defiantly heard on taking back America from the nearly 30 million invaders from South of the Border! I'll add myself to this list too. People are starting to wake up to the... [read more]
