Al Sharpton recently threatened Republicans.  Not with bodily harm or any such tricks of the trade that come from a Mickey Spillane novel. But with the threat that "Black Voters" should "Punish" them. For a threat to be of any use, it has to have some kind of penalty behind it.  Unfortunately, this one does not.  Oh, the threat can be made, but it amounts to Ralph Cramden's "To the Moon, Alice" threat.  There is nothing to back it up.  And so it is with this one. ...

Seems the Clintons really are on the side of the poor!  As long as they can give 5 and 6 figure campaign donations. Back in 96 (for the younguns here), one of Gore's top fundraisers was caught with their hands in the poor box.  Seems Maria Hsai solicited $65,000 from a bunch of monks who had taken a vow of poverty.  She was later convicted of various crimes, and of course we all know that the esteemed legal Scholar orated on that episode that there was "no Controlling legal Aut...

One of the things the democrats promised (one of the very few things) when Elected was to clean up congress and get rid of the way things had been done.  To bring in a more ethical and cleaner governance.  And to some degree, some have been trying.  Some actually tried to air out Earmarks (and then others backed off of that) in the house.  The senate is now trying to clean up its ethics.  Well maybe. Sen. Jim DeMint is apparently for it.  And since it only affect...

I'm a Conservative and I love my country. I'm a Conservative and I am Catholic. Our religion is not political. I am a Conservative and I think it's a compliment when you call me a conservative I am a Conservative and I think the ACLU started with the noblest of intentions, but has perverted their charter to further a political agenda. I am a Conservative and I don't want the United States to be world police. I am a Conservative and I think TRUE tolerance is a virtue, but the misde...

The words of the title were once told to me by a priest.  A very liberal priest (theologically speaking) who did not agree with all the statements made by the Pope, but who was and is a good priest. Many people have issues with the Catholic Church.   Some are theological, some personal and some political.  But the simple fact is that Catholicism (and I suspect most if not all faiths) is not a faith by consensus.  We have a set of beliefs, tenets, that we profess and t...

This week we have been awarded another display of a group of citizens (children), who did not get what they wanted, putting on a display of a childish tantrum.  The difference between the innocence of children and a crying jag, and this group is the level of their destructive behavior. Perhaps America is again responsible for this, now getting to be regular, event.  For it was in 2000 that we saw many of these children yelling and screaming and threatening and crying.  Why?&nbs...

I joined JU about 3 years ago.  In that time (most of it), the repubs were the kings.  Not good ones either.  They did things that I (as a conservative) and others at JU did not like.  And we even wrote about the sloth of the power.  And America listened.  They booted them out. (to be fair, we also wrote about what we liked as well). Now the Democrats (not the democratics - that is a usurption of a term) are in power.  And what is different?  Well, not ...

Is apparently just a suggestion that is to be ignored when someone does not agree with you.  In yet another example of the tolerant left, Karl Rove was pelted with foreign objects (versus the domestic kind) after speaking at American University.  Why?  Did he threaten anyone?  No.  Did he assault anyone?  No. He gave a speech that was not to the liking of some on the tolerant left.  I am sure these were peace protestors as well (for the dense - the last stat...

"I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever." - Miss Alabama 1994 "The leadership discussed it and agreed that inserting Congress into an international crisis while ongoing would not be helpful," Daly said. (Speaking for Nancy Pelosi) - March 30, 2007 Ms Pelosi is currently traveling in the Middle east and hopes to talk to ...

You have to love the person who created this. Some say Hillary. Some say Obama. Others say a warped blogger with talent. Like me! Except the last part.

IN what I predicted 3 months ago (which I will not claim an y prognostication power for since it was obvious to most rational thinking people) following the mid term elections that put the democrats in power, the base of the left has decided that their "toadies" are not being toady enough.  Yep!  The loons on the left are now trashing the democrats for not basically doing what they promised, and instead playing politics. For 6 years democrats have trashed republicans for everything ...

Ok, the year is yet young, but this has got to be the biggest non-story.  After preening and primping for the last 6 years, Hillary has finally tossed her bonnet into the 08 Presidential ring. And the MSM treats it like the second coming of Christ.  Oh well, I guess weekends are slow news days.  Because this should have been a footnote on page A-8, since it has been reported since she won in 2000. Ho-Hum.

WTF?  OK, this clown does not know poop from shinola.  And he is really as dumb as a stump!  But anyone with any iota of an idea of history knows that in 1607, a ship (the Godspeed) sailed from London and established a settlement on the new Continent.  Now called America (because Columbus was too stupid to understand it was not India). But EXCUSE THE HELL OUT OF ME!  That ship carried no slaves.  It was not a slaver ship.  It was a bunch of rubes seeking gol...

Back in the day (yea before the time of Terpfan1980), I came of voting age.  Around 1974.  For the younguns, that means nothing.  For my dear Grandmother, that meant a lot (I was the chosen one since I came back from Germany on the day Nixon resigned - a man she hated). But I was now of age.  A man (in those days old enough to drink and vote).  And so my first real president was Ford.  And I liked him (I never thought he was great, but he was a nice guy).  A...
