Rock and a hard place (3)
How would you navigate this situation? You don’t visit a mosque and the Muslim community feels slighted. You do visit a mosque and Fox News convinces a bunch of people you’re posing as a Christian but secretly want to destroy America from the inside with your radical fundamentalist agenda.
Americans are sometimes really stupid (0)
“It’s good to hear her talk about gas prices. They’re killing us,” said Donna Madden, 45, a part-time high school cafeteria employee from Clear Fork. “She’s an American, a real American. It’s just good to know that she has the same ancestors as us, that her family goes back for generations and generations and generations.”

Hillary says Memphis National Champ Despite KU Having More Points (0)
Ms. Clinton stated that Memphis, while losing the game, had actually shown more ability to act like a National Champion on Day One. She argued that Memphis had passed every test during the game, including scoring more points than Kansas for 38 minutes. For 38 minutes they had shown the experience necessary to be National […]
He’s been courting him for a year? (1)
McCain is “honored” to have the endorsement of a guy who said this:
The United States must join Israel in a pre-emptive military strike against Iran to fulfill God’s plan for both Israel and the West… a biblically prophesied end-time confrontation with Iran, which will lead to the Rapture, Tribulation, and Second Coming of Christ.
The Nexus of Politics and Terror (0)
Make yourself a cup of coffee and spend the next 17 minutes watching this - it’s worth it:
Huckabee on SNL (0)
I will give him this - he is the funniest candidate I’ve seen in a long time.
Two videos (1)
Truth is treason in the empire of lies (6)
The man who made me (and thousands like me) care about politics again will likely be ending his campaign in the next few weeks. Many aren’t surprised about the challenges he’s faced, including himself.
Who did people think won the debate tonight? (0)
The guy who wasn’t there.
The Republican debates according to a 9-year old (0)
The names are hilarious as is the closing line.
Couple of articles on what came out of Iowa…and hip hop ballet dancers (1)
RP Baffles the media
Iowa votes per campaign appearance
Crank that ballet class
Obama’s Historic Victory (0)
Cool article from Time on how “a black man with a dangerous-sounding foreign name trounced his opponents in the nearly all-white state of Iowa.”
(Paul got 10% on the republican side, 3 percentage points behind third place.)
How’d you spend your Christmas vacation? (0)
These students went to Iowa. A great article on what makes the campaign so unique.
Mike Huckabee Forum (1)
I know forums are often echo chambers that attract the most extreme segments of a group… but WOW.
Al Gore won’t run for President because you’re too lazy (1)
America was founded on the idea of a well-informed populace. In an age where we have more information than ever, we have fewer people who actually know why they think what they think. No wonder Al Gore won’t run and Ron Paul trails the front-runners.
Remember, remember… (0)
In less than 24 hours, Ron Paul’s campaign jumped from $2.7 million for the fourth quarter to $6.2…and counting. It represents the largest amount of money raised by any GOP candidate in a single day, and is the most money ever raised online in a single day.
Coverage is here, here, and here .
Rudy’s Four Horsemen (0)
This is encouraging.
The Ron Paul Ideavirus (4)
Candidates are now scrambling to figure out what my favorite politician and my favorite business writer already know.
If Ron Paul doesn’t win, he needs to open a viral marketing consulting company. (0)
His campaign is easily the coolest I’ve ever seen, and he’s done nothing to make it happen other than speaking his mind. A perfect example of how it’s better to create products or ideas (or candidates) that are amazing in the first place vs. trying to make something mediocre look amazing.
Senate rejects reinstatement of habeas corpus (0)
Ugh. At least Leahy understands what is at stake:
“The truth is that casting aside the time-honored protection of habeas corpus makes us more vulnerable as a nation because it leads us away from our core American values,” Leahy said. “It calls into question our historic roll as a defender of human rights around the world.”
Paul visits USC (1)
How did he get all those people to show up at this rally? Spammers.
The Ron Paul Epiphany (3)
Pat Buchanan puts our choices for 2008 in pretty clear, sobering language.
“If, on the other hand, you wish to live in a nation where the United States government is governed by the Constitution, you had better support Ron Paul. This may be your only opportunity, for it is entirely possible that this will be the […]
Fox News = Integrity (0)
Ron Paul is either a mastermind capable of purchasing thousands of cell phones for his supporters, or Fox News is intentionally trying to deceive people. I haven’t decided which yet.
Guess the Candidate (3)
Let’s play a game and try to figure out what in the world is going on.
Politics and the deli (1)
As the next election cycle ramps up, I wonder if the church will learn its lesson and be a little more skeptical.
Love your neighbor more than your politics (2)
The television does rot brains, it’s not reality television that’s the culprit. It’s the “news”.
Accountability (1)
I’m tired of being unaccountable for my actions.
I’m tired of living in a culture that tells me it’s okay, I can do what I want. I’m tired of being told that everything is subjective, tired of being told that I can rationalize away my worst thoughts and deeds. I’m tired of being able to chalk […]
Villains (6)
When you’re in elementary school, you start a club. A spy club, or a ninja club, or a boys club or a treehouse club. And in doing so you create your own little world, something you identify with. You and your select group of friends who are in your club suddenly have something that other […]
it’s so hard to say you’re sorry (1)
I think one of the fallacies that Christians (and many other people) have is their unwillingness to admit when they are wrong about something. Especially when the reasons for doing so have something to do with faith.
There are times when we makes decisions based on what we think are good precepts. We believe that something […]
