Links worthy of note for July 3, 2008.

Here are a few links and news stories worthy of noting today, before we get to burn our money in a specticle of patriotic fireworks displays from sea to shining sea.
First Principles. This is the first post by Fred Thompson in a while on Redstate and it is an outstanding piece of work. It reminds […]

 

Obama, Democrats and Christian philosophy.

Under normal circumstances I try to keep this blog focused on issues of policy and substance. This topic is no different with Senator Obama’s campaign trumpeting his beliefs while media outlets push the accompanying propaganda.
To that end I believe it is fair to examine Senator Obama’s beliefs and let people make their own decision based on facts, not media […]

 

Matt Blunt quietly signs bill upholding privacy.

For all the bad mouthing Matt Blunt gets hardly anyone, including my self, noticed the signing of a law which is to keep corporate big brother out from underneath our skin - literally.
As I was reading through the News-Leader at my parents house after going to the Springfield Cardinals recent loss to the Rough Riders, […]

 

But what about the dissenting opinions?

Most of you probably know by now that our second amendment rights were affirmed this morning in a five to four decision to strike down the Washington, D.C. gun ban. This is a wonderful day for our individual rights and freedoms to be sure. You can down load the opinion by visiting the SCOTUS Blog here.
Yet my […]

 

McCain releases “Lexington” energy independence proposal.

Senator McCain decided to put his money where is mouth is and announced a specific program aimed at energy independence by 2025. Its name is dubbed “Lexington” in reference to the town which Americans began the struggle for independence more than two hundred years ago.
The proposal is nothing less than the realization of the call […]

 

Barack Obama backed by Communist Party PAC Chairman. (updated)

If this does not alarm you, then there is something serious wrong.
Those who blow off warnings of Obama’s vision of a socialist state as political hyperbola are doing so at their own risk. Serious analysis of his policies show a direct connection in collectivism and a loss of two fundamental American values which drive our […]

 

Is John Daily more “fair and balanced” than most “serious” journalist?

If this small snippet of the show is any indication, yes he is by far. There is far more substance talked about and questions raised in this small four minute segment than most of what I have seen or read in “main stream” publications over the past couple of months. Especially here in our local market.

If that doesnt raise one’s awareness of how biased and in the tank the media is, nothing will.

 

McCain campaign releases “pork invaders” flash video game.

Yeah, its addicting as the original “space invaders” game released many moon ago. There are some interesting budget facts (and notes how Obama is more willing to meet with the Iranian dictator than General of our own forces in Iraq).

Good stuff. Go, play, have fun.

 

Senator McCain picks Fred Thompson to vet judges.

Human Events is reporting that Senator McCain selected Former Presidential Candidate and Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson to vet judges who will be selected for nomination.
My reaction? Oh yeah, buddy. Great move.
For anyone who has any reservation regarding McCain and judges, this is a truly wise pick. There can be no doubt the type of […]

 

Here is an excellent example of local media bias..

You know, coverage on KY3’s political blog was improving to a point. Really. It was.
It is why I am mistified at today’s coverage in a couple of places. What exactly do I mean?
Okay, lets start with a gossip colum which says that the FBI is in Jefferson City and Republicans are whispering.
To begin with, there […]
