This week marks the anniversary of two notable deaths; those of Terri Schiavo on March 31, and Pope John Paul II on April 2. Their passing led to oceans of press coverage by the national media seeking typically, not to report the stories but to explain it all to us. And, as usual when it comes to matters of faith, they got it wrong. Wednesday, March 22, 2006 05:27:31 PM
It’s that time of year when bubbles burst and buzzer beaters ring out across the land. For many, it’s an occasion for great elation, for some, bitter disappointment. But if recent news reports are to be believed, it is truly the month of March Madness for Democrats. Thursday, March 16, 2006 12:37:49 PM
The young man walked slowly toward his place of execution. Dressed in a crumpled suit and tie, he faced the firing squad and asked permission to pray. As a Catholic priest ministering to the faithful during the purge of the Church by Mexican revolutionaries, he was condemned to death. As the photographers and riflemen took aim, he raised his arms parallel to the ground, forgave his executioners and shouted, “Viva Christo Rey!” Wednesday, February 22, 2006 07:34:42 PM
The word ‘racism’ has been tossed around the past few years like so many used hankies. In nearly all spheres of American life-- from politics, to the military and the world of sports--the term is used to excuse and condone a multitude of sins. Sometimes warranted, often not, charges of racism against minorities are almost as common today as were actual instances of it decades ago. Wednesday, February 15, 2006 08:08:25 PM
I’ve been a lifelong sports fan. My first memory was of my father’s admiration and awe while watching Gale Sayers, the Kansas Comet, perform feats of gridiron magic for the Chicago Bears. Wednesday, February 08, 2006 11:43:06 PM
The Samuel Alito Supreme Court nomination hearings are now a part of history but snippets of the Democratic Party’s accusations and name-calling live on. Dick Durbin (D-IL) dramatically lamented that, “a chill wind blows,” presumably across the facade of the Supreme Court building. In actuality, the entire DC landscape was engulfed by great gusts of hot air emanating directly from the Judiciary Committee hearing room. Thursday, February 02, 2006 12:25:23 PM
The news from the Middle East this week has, with the exception of the wounding of two members of the media, moved away from Iraq. Attention is now focused on the two growing threats to peace in the region; the electoral victory of Hamas in Palestine and the nuclear rantings of Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Spurred by plunging approval numbers and his failure to produce for the American people, the president’s term will come to an early and untimely end on May 14th. It seems the public has had its fill of liberal fantasy-land President Josiah Bartlet. Wednesday, January 18, 2006 06:19:19 PM
Last week’s hearings on the nomination of Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court raised many interesting issues, but none more important to certain groups than whether or not his confirmation would tilt the Court towards overturning Roe v Wade. Wednesday, January 11, 2006 08:43:26 PM
Sometimes it’s hard to find a ray of light in the American judicial system but once in a while the sun comes shining through. In a shocking display of clarity and common sense, a federal appeals court judge ruled last month that the Ten Commandments may remain on a wall in a Mercer County, Kentucky courthouse.

Now that the holiday that dare not speak its name is in our collective rear-view mirror, it’s that time of year when the political punditry turns their weary eyes to the future. And those who dominate the media are out of the gate early, chirping optimistically about liberal prospects in 2006 and beyond. Thursday, December 22, 2005 09:49:43 PM
With sincerest apologies to liberals everywhere and once again, to Clement Clark Moore Thursday, December 15, 2005 02:52:33 PM
Armed with their latest polling statistics, liberal Democrats frequently take to the talk shows and editorial pages to proclaim this or that anti-Bushism with steely confidence. In an effort to discredit them, many on the right then try to point out the questionable methodology used in producing such polls. Thursday, December 08, 2005 12:52:39 PM
The other night on TV, I watched a liberal talking head go ballistic in a discussion of the ‘war on Christmas’. He ranted that there is no such war, and even if there were, it’s those on the right, like Fox News who are fanning the flames. He noted that in 1929 Henry Ford wrote that the Jews were behind such attacks and that the John Birch Society made similar claims against secularists in 1959. Wednesday, November 30, 2005 05:56:12 PM
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas; that is, the mercury is dropping while temperatures are rising due to the war on Christmas waged annually by the secular left and others. Wednesday, November 23, 2005 07:14:12 PM
William Jefferson Clinton has been on the receiving end of more magnanimity from George W. Bush than he has any reasonable right to expect. Ignoring the history of insults and slights his family has suffered at the hands of his predecessor, President Bush has repaid this ill-treatment with a large dose of Christian charity. Wednesday, November 16, 2005 09:28:54 PM
Liberals are racing the clock. Less than a year separates them from realizing their dream of retaking Congress, staying even, or worse, losing more seats to the Republicans. Wednesday, November 09, 2005 09:54:27 PM
In a week that saw a spate of anti-Catholic rumination by the media on the nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court, others in the political spectrum were also concerned with religious issues. Thursday, November 03, 2005 10:39:08 PM
What a difference a week makes. Short days ago, the liberal media were doing the Snoopy dance of joy in advance of what they were sure would be the beginning of the end of the dim-witted cowboy/scheming frat-boy that is George W. Bush. Wednesday, October 26, 2005 09:26:31 PM
On the salivation scale, this past week has been a veritable drool-fest for those who inhabit the newsrooms, editorial desks and websites that make up the liberal media world. The Sunday talk shows were awash in liberal glee; a level of happiness not seen since before a certain blue dress avoided a trip to the cleaners. Thursday, October 20, 2005 12:00:14 AM
The look on Dick Durbin’s face said it all. Involuntary muscles drew down the sides of his mouth as he attempted a forced smile but succeeded in producing only a grimace. Friday, October 14, 2005 12:00:00 AM
Conservatives are cranky people by nature. Having walked in the liberal shadow for forty years as the opposition party, finding themselves in control of the government has, at times, been an even less sunny experience. Wednesday, October 05, 2005 11:36:07 AM
The fear in the pit of the stomach was palatable; sweat oozed from the brow of every conservative with an internet connection. Friday, September 30, 2005 12:00:03 AM
What do modern war protesters want? In the Viet Nam War era, they clearly favored the Communist way of life to our own--not for themselves so much mind you, but for the millions we’d have freed had not they and their media accomplices forced a political end to what would have been a military victory. Thursday, September 22, 2005 02:06:12 PM
News Item: The White House artfully created a continuous string of events that showed the president taking care of "the people's business." Thursday, September 15, 2005 12:33:20 AM
Now that the victims of Hurricane Katrina have served their purpose for those on the left, senate Democrats happily turned their attention to their favorite weapon of mass destruction: judicial assassination. Friday, September 09, 2005 01:17:31 AM
You wouldn't know it and you probably haven't heard it, but the American people--unlike ninety percent of the media--don't blame President Bush for the miserable handling of the Gulf Coast's brutalization at the hands of Hurricane Katrina. Tuesday, August 30, 2005 04:20:51 AM
For years, those on the far left have repeatedly maintained that they support the U.S. military while, in reality, they oppose nearly every incidence of its deployment. Now it seems their animosity is not just reserved for our most recent forays, but apparently the Iraq War has soured them retrospectively on earlier battles for freedom. Thursday, August 18, 2005 05:30:59 AM
If it's August and the press is languishing in Crawford, Texas, it's time for the annual Bush vacation media bash. Friday, August 05, 2005 03:36:56 AM
Embryonic stem cell research is once again in the news via Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's revelation that he opposes President Bush on this subject. |
