Hateful Fred Phelps and his “church” lose big

Really big.
Good.
Thur AM Update: Just to clarify, of course I’m all for 1st Amendment rights – but I like seeing Fred Phelps squirm a bit. Captain Ed has a good post up about the free speech aspect of this case here.

Hillary’s composed veneer cracks at last night’s debate

If you’re like me, you didn’t bother watching last night’s Democratic debate because you probably had better things to do – like watch the leaves fall or something. Seriously, last night’s debate proved to be the one to watch, as Hillary Clinton made her first official “noticeable” mistake: her facade started to crumble, the [...]

Halloween open thread

The afternoon’s gotten a bit busy. Will be back to blogging later this evening.
Before I go, how many of you out there are good at carving out pumpkin faces? I’ve never had much success with it myself, but enjoy watching others work their magic with ‘em. I usually just grab a magic marker [...]

Democrats owe an apology – to “Man-made” Global Warming

Poor ol’ “Man-made” Global Warming. It, along with the President, gets unfairly blamed for all kinds of disasters, including hurricanes, droughts, snowstorms – and most recently, the wildfires in California.

It doesn’t just happen on Halloween

The Washington Post and Newsweek both have up articles this week which discuss how risque Halloween costumes for young girls have gotten over the last several years due to their popularity which, to me, has become the scariest part of Halloween.
But as Michelle Malkin noted in a post yesterday, the sexualization of young girls doesn’t [...]

Taking indoctrination to a whole new level

To say what’s happening at the University of Delaware is shocking is an understatement. I mean, we all know that the majority of college faculties across the country are liberal, and as a result liberal indoctrination through “education” ensues, but, as Jason Steck explains, the program at the University of Delaware goes much further [...]

On selling the conservative message

Just got done reading this piece Jonah Goldberg wrote for the LA Times about his belief that conservatism is popular in theory but not so much in practice:
The problem is that conservatism, even Reagan’s brand, wasn’t as popular as we often remember it. Government spending continued to increase under Reagan, albeit a bit more slowly. [...]

Fighting back on the flag-folding flap

See if you can say that three times fast.
Members of Congress are reacting swiftly to the recent news about the National Cemetery Administration decision halting flag-folding recitatations at military funerals at any national cemetary – because of one complaint:
A group of congressmen has asked the Department of Veterans Affairs to reconsider its ban on the [...]
