Got the red state blues

November 8th, 2006 ~ Political circus

Well, it sure is a bad day to be the most Republican-inclined woman on the Ortho-blogosphere.
I had been sort of hoping it just wouldn’t be as bad as the polls were leading us to believe. So on top of all the other indignities, I have to start believing polls now? Ugh.

It’s worth remembering, of course, […]

Conservatism and morality

October 15th, 2006 ~ Political circus

As the elections draw closer I think a lot of Christians are occupied as I am with trying to sift the chaff out of the wheat, trying to take the political leanings, outside opinions and personal biases from whatever discernment and moral judgment their Maker has graced them with. This is an exercise that goes […]

The Silenced Majority

October 13th, 2006 ~ Political circus

This wasn’t something I meant to write about, but it’s Greg’s fault for sending me this great article from Peggy Noonan. The topic is a growing inability by some — I might almost say “by the usual suspects” to live with the idea of free speech:
On Oct. 2, on Katie Couric’s “CBS Evening News,” in […]

Pelosi, showing how many Sunday School classes she skipped

September 28th, 2006 ~ Political circus

Here’s Nancy Pelosi’s version of the Golden Rule, given yesterday in a speech:
“This is a time when the Golden Rule really should be in affect[sic]. Do not do unto others, what you would not have them do unto your troops, your CIA agents, your people in the field.”
Right. The next time I’m about to commit […]

Radical Rosie

September 14th, 2006 ~ Political circus, Current events

How long did Rosie O’Donnell wait to say something offensive to believing American Christians — about five seconds?

Since I would watch “The View” only about as willingly as I would watch any other women-prattling-endlessly show, which is to say ‘not at all’, I didn’t catch Rosie’s remarks during the September 11 show, which was supposed […]

Moral: If you’re a Kennedy, don’t drive

May 5th, 2006 ~ Political circus

Sen. Patrick Kennedy says he wasn’t drunk when he nearly missed a Capitol police cruiser, crashed into a barricade and then got out staggering and talking about being late for a Senate vote at about 3 a.m. Thursday morning. The Capitol police officers couldn’t perform a breathalyzer test on him before an officer or two […]

Too soon?

April 17th, 2006 ~ Political circus

“Is it too soon for movies to be released about 9/11?”
That’s the headline of a front page story in the St. Joseph News Press. It’s a local story asking whether people can deal with the upcoming release of “Flight 93,” a movie drawn from all the factual info that exists about what happened on September […]

Giving the nanny state a new uniform

April 8th, 2006 ~ Political circus

I admit I’ve taken a bit of delight watching secular Big Government proponents wrestle with how it is you get people to do things that are considered bad for them. The crusade against smoking had all the religious fervor of any other crusade, but since those leading the charge are the same ones who urge […]

Taking shots at Cheney

February 17th, 2006 ~ Political circus

Cheers greet Dick Cheney:
Cheney made his first public appearance since the shooting, receiving a rousing ovation from legislators in his home state of Wyoming.
“It’s a wonderful experience to be greeted by such warmth by the leaders of our great state. It’s especially true when you’ve had a very long week,” Cheney told lawmakers in Cheyenne. […]

Alito — oy vey

January 30th, 2006 ~ Political circus

It’s a bad day to be a liberal, but they’ve got no one to blame but themselves. As things stand, it looks like Judge Alito will be confirmed onto the Supreme Court. I’m good with that — he seems like a good enough guy. But I never would’ve thought it was such a big deal […]
