PITTSBURG SHOOTER WAS 'ENCOURAGED' BY CONSERVATIVES?
Do you also subscribe to Chicken Little's theory the sky is falling. How good a friend are you of Mr. Willis?

A TEPID BUT REALISTIC DEFENSE OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IN THE AIG MATTER
Of course you would take the sunny side approach. I mean why should we regard the White House kangaroo court treatment of Detroit executives, Rush Limbaugh, bank executives, and now AIG as anything other than an honest mistake.
Doesn't every administration engage in two minutes of hate and try and protray an entire class of people as charactures that even Joe Stewart would disown? Doesn't every administration shred the Constitution just to prove that you can get this kind of star chamber treatment if you anger us?
I heartily concur that no this treatment, which would be common place at Stalin's show trials or the People's Courts of Hitler, shouldn't be condemned as something out of the norm and are just as American as mom and apple pie.
We are getting to see how the lobster gets cooked. Its going to be along four years.
What this blog needs is more David Frum, Brooks, and McCain just to keep the icy objectivity.

<em>THE RICK MORAN SHOW</em>: BONUS RUCKUS
Tell does blog talk radio have as many listeners as Air America?
Lets keep this real. The audience size probably is as big as the audience is for re runs of the Roseanne Barr show.

CPAC AGENDA SHOWS CONSERVATIVES STILL IN DENIAL
In case the author hasn't noticed ever since the conditions he advocates have been utilized the GOP has been in trouble. Who would better fit his definition of a big tent Republican than McCain, a man who suffered defeat at probably the worst candidate any party has ever fielded.
Conservatives will wander as long as their are those who reject principle for temporary gains or a big tent. Clearly standing up for principles and making those the cornerstone of the party and rejecting those who stray from them will serve the party well. One notes how good democratic party discipline is compared to the GOP. This is not because the Democrats are so unified but because it has tight controls and stresses party unity.
Why should Snowe, Collins, and the other RINOs be tolerated if they make a mockery of the GOP and reduce it to a nonentity? Better to lose those seats than sacrifice everything to appease a Pell or a Spectre.
The party should decide if it wants to protect the individual and limit the government or promote the government and restrict the individual, just not as much as the Democrats.
One path will lead to success. The other to the wilderness. If the party follows the Bushes and the other Big Tent advocates then it is doomed to irrelevance. Do we really need more politicians like Spectre and Arnie?
Pathetic.

DNC PREVIEW: 'COME HOME, AMERICA' REDUX
The radicals of the sixties never changed. Bill Ayers became a college professor still working to destroy the system. The Chicago rioters became Wall Street types but never gave up their beliefs. McGovern was a true war hero, a man with no qualms about bombing innocent civilians but who hated America for trying to stop the Communists in Vietnam. A good man who couldn't run a private business but who knew he could lecture the rest of the world.
The real heros of the sixties were the hard hats in NYC. I remember them confronting the hippies in Manhattan. I have little doubt that just as McGovern was far outside the mainstream and therefor was crushed, Obama will be defeated by a much wider margin than most people currently predict.
The difference between Obama and Osama is just a little bs.

REMEMBERING THE BOMB, FORGETTING WHY
Exactly what makes the A bombs so terrible compared to the firebombing of Tokyo where far more people died? Were the deaths of two million German civilians during March and April 1945, when the Russians overran eastern Germany, somehow more acceptable than if an A bomb had been used?
Nuclear weapons may have prevented a clash between the West and the USSR saving what certainly would have been far greater casualties than occured in WWII.

Oh for the good old days when the Clinton administration occupied the moral high ground and would not stoop to such deeds! So they failed to prevent 9-11 and cost over 3,000 their lifes, thats a small price to maintain such a wonderful position. The fact that no nation doesn't use such methods and our own military had to revise its military code of conduct in recognition of the fact that torture does work, well lets not ever face reality.
Let us instead rationalize the wonderful world that could be rather than the worold that is. It is after all so much easier to excuse the deaths of thousands of Americans than resort to such shameful methods to protect citizens.

THE CONSERVATIVE'S SHAMEFUL DEFENSE OF GRAMM
Sir:
I did not challenge your sexuality but I do detest those who cannot bear the responsibility for their actions or believe that whinning is the best response an individual is capable of. If the nation is reduced to such a state, as it appears to be, then heaven help it if something like a real depression occurs.
Rather than spout bromides about the economy a clear sighted investigation into the causes of the economic crisis we are now in might be a better course of action.
Why not for example ask why loans were made to people who had no income or jobs? Why did Fannie Mae push such loans? Who made the money from such loans and why haven't arrests been made?
Of course this would require a clear and hard look at the policies our politicians have pushed as well as the electorate that put them into office.
I am comfortable with such an investigation and would urge the government to see who within it pushed such bankrupt policies. If this means I am somehow sexually uncomfortable so be it. I do not at least project.

One really has to wonder what you are talking about. Yes the economy is in for hardtimes because of the policies put in place by corrupt politicians and idiot voters who voted for them. For thirty years we have seen industries destroyed to save the spotted chipmunk, and no one cared because they weren't impacted. We destroyed the lumber industry but who cared in NYC because it made you feel good to know that all those furry creatures were safe.
Who cared if we put so many restrictions on mining and coal industries that entire towns died, just so long as your job was safe. Who cared if our politicians were mettling with their Community Revitalization Act that would create another financial disaster just as they did with the S&L industry.
So now we see the harvest of reckless financial policies and political game playing and instead of demanding reforms and punishments for the coorrupt we hear the endless whinning of those who have maxed out their credit cards to buy things that were wants rather than needs. We hear the braying for a bailout that will payoff the profiters, the corrupt and special interest groups. Why for example will La Raza get money from this bailout. Nuff said.
Instead of the shameless posturing wouldn't it be better to focus on why we are in the mess we're in and tak the steps to clean up this mess?
As far as the whinning goes, anyone who lived through Jimmy Carter knows what bad times are. Today's conditions are mild compared to that era. And if you think its bad now wait for the next four years as we see the Fed expanding its regulatory powers, an expansion of those brillant capitalists in the government, and economic conditions that would make Lennin happy.
No matter who wins this election count on higher taxes, more regulations a bigger government. Crying about conditions now, just wait the government will give Rick something to really cry about.
Its too bad so many people have forgotten how to grow up and sucjk it in and have become good metrosexuals.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Suck it up.
By challenging my sexuality, I can only assume you are uncomfortable with your own.
Ed.
