Many bloggers bitch just to hear their own voice or attract hits. What a waste.
Me, I believe in people. People organizing. People getting things done. People then going back to being individuals, which doesn't include forming a committee or a feel-good group, until they're needed again.
The Place to Discuss Our Fundamental Principles
Posted by: Fred Thompson at 9:59 AM
Spending some time on the campaign trail has confirmed a couple of thoughts I’ve had before I entered the Republican primary race.
First, conservatism is alive and well in America; don’t let anyone tell you differently. And by conservatism, I don’t mean the warmed-over “raise your hand if you believe …” kind of conservatism we see blooming every election cycle. No, I’m speaking of the conservatism grounded in principles based upon enduring truths: an understanding of the importance of human nature in the affairs of individuals and nations. Respect for the lessons of history, the importance of faith and tradition. The understanding that while man is prone to err, he is capable of great things when not subjugated by a too-powerful government. These are the principles that inspired our Founding Fathers, and resulted in a Constitution that delineated the powers of the central government, established checks and balances among the branches of government and further diffused governmental power by a system of Federalism.
Second, change – whether it “real change,” “bold change” or the “change we can believe in” variety others are selling – isn’t itself an innovative policy or a particularly strong leadership stance. In fact, from Burke to Buckley, there has been an acknowledgement that change in the political arena is inevitable and necessary, and we in the U.S. tend to experience it in regular, 2, 4 and 6 year intervals, so 2008 is hardly our first rodeo. The challenge for conservatives is calibrating whether the change being proposed is consistent with our principles and our philosophy, and whether that change is appropriate.
Our nation has some serious issues to work through for today … and for the next generation. Now isn’t the time for conservatives to be looking for a tailored message or a politically expedient route to victory if the end result is going to be the inevitable slide toward the liberalization and secularization of America, and the growth of government and loss of freedom that inevitably ensues. For us conservatives it must be about principles and policies that are grounded in freedom, free markets and the rule of law. That’s what I’ve been talking and writing about for the past few years, and that’s what I want to talk write about here on Townhall and in the new Townhall Magazine.
I joined Townhall and am writing exclusive commentaries for Townhall Magazine because I see them elevating the discourse on issues based on these principles -- smaller government, individual liberty, standing for common values that have become all too uncommon, a strong national defense and, most of all, an optimism and belief in America.
I’m glad to be back here in familiar territory, and we’ll be talking to you soon.
I'm glad as well.

Democrats Backroom Deal To Avoid Looking Corrupt
Dann apparently seeks deal to quit
Facing impeachment, attorney general reportedly wants end to probe
Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann apparently is trying to negotiate the terms of his resignation, offering to quit if legislative leaders kill a bill that would authorize Inspector General Thomas P. Charles to investigate the scandal in Dann's office.
Apparently not wanting to look like corrupt backroom dealers the Democrats are making backroom deals as they look to November 2008.
I think Dann is just the tip of the iceberg.

Obama's Management Style - Blame Subordinates
Obama's incmpentent staff from Taxman Blog. It is enlightening. Go read.
Will the Obama blame a staffer for offering a Smithfield Ham to Ahmadinejad when they have a no-preconditioned pillow talk?

Just How Stupid Are Ron Paul Supporters?
Apparently this stupid.
Ron Paul's forces quietly plot GOP convention revolt against McCain
Virtually all the nation's political attention in recent weeks has focused on the compelling state-by-state presidential nomination struggle between two Democrats and the potential for party-splitting strife over there.
But in the meantime, quietly, largely under the radar of most people, the forces of Rep. Ron Paul have been organizing across the country to stage an embarrassing public revolt against Sen. John McCain when Republicans gather for their national convention in Minnesota at the beginning of September.
Paul's presidential candidacy has been correctly dismissed all along in terms of winning the nomination. He was even excluded as irrelevant by Fox News from a nationally-televised GOP debate in New Hampshire.
But what's been largely overlooked is Paul's candidacy as a reflection of a powerful lingering dissatisfaction with the Arizona senator among the party's most conservative conservatives. As anticipated in late March in The Ticket, that situation could be exacerbated by today's expected announcement from former Republican Rep. Bob Barr of Georgia for the Libertarian Party's presidential nod, a slot held by Paul in 1988.
They've had Ralph Nader. We've had Ross Perot cost us an election. It appears that now we have two men, Bob Barr & Ron Paul, I used to admire vying for the "Let's save America by screwing it" award.
We are yet to see just how many loons Barr can attract, but Paul has attracted buggy ones like a zapper on a hot humid evening. They are so buggy that they actually believe they are patriotic by helping Obama or Hillary win the White House. They are so buggy they believe their ideological purity forces them to throw our country to progressives because their "rightness" doesn't allow for any compromise.
They're also political babies that refuse to constructively work within the Republican party to change things as Reagan did. The little retards are miffed that none of the adults will listen to their swill so they're going to have a hissy fit to just show us all.
They're spoiled little brat traitors.

Too Funny

Barack Obama, Imperialist?
By now you've seen the footage of Barack Obama ruing the fact that he hasn't been able to visit all 57 states in this great union of ours. If you haven't, scroll down a bit and read Goldfarb's post on the matter. I'll wait.
This faux pas is beyond weird; I know the guy is tired, but “How many states are there in America?” is the kind of question they ask you at the hospital after you've had a seizure to see if your brain is still working.
A good friend who wasn't aware that he diabetic almost went into a coma, but was brought back in time. He was asked by the attending doctor what day it was, what the year was and how many states there are in the United States. Groggily he answered the questions one by one ending with 49 states. The doctor asked him if he was sure to which he replied, "I've always had doubts about New Jersey."

Saving New Orleans By Destroying It
via Veritas et Venustas
Brad Pitt is trying to help. Help is building houses in the 9th Ward in New Orleans where if there is a major storm, hurricane or flood again, all the house will be destroyed again, but Pitt is trying to help. I wish he'd stop. I think a whole lotta people in New Orleans feel the same way, but some people have no choice but to go with Pitt because the city government is run by morons totally incapable of policing Mardi Gras let alone a city.
Forcing starchitects, as John Massendale calls them, on people is just wrong and egotistical. How do you save a neighborhood by making it what it never was? How do you save a neighborhood by building stupid, ugly little houses that will never be homes?
Newsweek's Newspeak Where Truth Is Bad
How Obama and his team will battle the GOP onslaught.
...
There are no screamers on Team Obama; one senior Obama aide says he's heard him yell only twice in four years. Obama was explicit from the beginning: there was to be "no drama," he told his aides. "I don't want elbowing or finger-pointing. We're going to rise or fall together." Obama wanted steady, calm, focused leadership; he wanted to keep out the grandstanders and make sure the quiet dissenters spoke up. A good formula for running a campaign—or a presidency.
It worked against Hillary Clinton, whose own campaign has been rent by squabbling aides and turf battles. While Clinton veered between playing Queen Elizabeth I and Norma Rae, Obama and his team chugged along with a superior 50-state campaign strategy, racking up the delegates. If the candidate seemed weary and peevish or a little slow to respond at times, he never lost his cool. But the real test is yet to come. The Republican Party has been successfully scaring voters since 1968, when Richard Nixon built a Silent Majority out of lower- and middle-class folks frightened or disturbed by hippies and student radicals and blacks rioting in the inner cities. The 2008 race may turn on which party will win the lower- and middle-class whites in industrial and border states—the Democrats' base from the New Deal to the 1960s, but "Reagan Democrats" in most presidential elections since then. It is a sure bet that the GOP will try to paint Obama as "the other"—as a haughty black intellectual who has Muslim roots (Obama is a Christian) and hangs around with America-haters.
Obama says he's ready for the onslaught. "Yes, we know what's coming," he told a cheering crowd as he won the North Carolina primary last week. "We've seen it already … the attempts to play on our fears and exploit our differences to turn us against each other for pure political gain—to slice and dice this country into Red States and Blue States; blue-collar and white-collar; white, black, brown."
Okay, what do we have here? For openers Obama is a quiet, thoughtful team player who values good advice which is "A good formula for running a campaign—or a presidency." By contrast all others pale when compared to his obviously competent leadership.
Next the Republican Party has been scaring voters since Richard Nixon. A double-good punch with scare and Nixon in the same thought mixed in with lies about Obama's religion which lessens Wright's odious thoughts and words. Not bad even for Newsweek when truth becomes bad and when the truth is used it is a scare tactic.
It's a wrap with Obama triumphantly facing down the Republicans continued attempts "to play on our fears and exploit our differences to turn us against each other for pure political gain—to slice and dice this country into Red States and Blue States; blue-collar and white-collar; white, black, brown."
Our fears? Would those be fears of what Obama will do as president? No, not at all because he is the best candidate. Obviously. It is also obvious to Newsweek's Obama campaign that Republicans need division and fear of a BLACK man who has a SECRET agenda of ISLAM to defeat the next JFK.
I really enjoy great campaigning especially when a campaign can seemingly pull everything together effortlessly, but when will Obama acknowledge this "in-kind" donation from their outside media consultants at Newsweek because this isn't reporting nor is it opinion. It's campaigning.
If the truth is bad then Newsweek should step up and admit it is bad to lie about those they want to defeat and it is bad to not be honest about their true role in this campaign.

The Clintons Spend Their Own Money?
Doubtful unless for the first time in their life they have their own money and they don't know what it is.
Is Hillary staying to force herself onto the ticket? She hates second fiddle plus Michelle doesn't like Hillary.
What is a scenario that would put Hillary back on top without hurting her. Simple.
Let's say Obama has the nomination in the bag. The super delegates have voted and Barack is the man, but the Clintonistas have some serious dirt on him, his wife or major people in his campaign that would cause Obama to step down before being officially nominated. This dirt cannot be released by the Clintons, that would hurt them so it is released in the press, maybe the foreign press and oh so reluctantly picked up by the MSM here. The kicker is the story is either attributed or strongly hinted to be the work of Republicans.
Obama goes down.
Hillary steps in to save the day as the nominee who will enact revenge for Obama.
Republicans get blamed.
Democrats keep and enlarge their minority vote.
Democrats enlarge their Independent vote.
Republicans lose everywhere for their "typical" dirty tricks.

According To White Reporters, White-O-Cratic County Keeps Its Distance From Negroes
The main stream media loves blue/rust/black collar voters as long as those voters regurgitate what the main stream media expects. Otherwise it confuses them.
Democratic country keeps its distance from Obama
Like most people in Mingo County, West Virginia, Leonard Simpson is a lifelong Democrat. But given a choice between Barack Obama and John McCain in November, the 67-year-old retired coalminer would vote Republican.
“I heard that Obama is a Muslim and his wife’s an atheist,” said Mr Simpson, drawing on a cigarette outside the fire station in Williamson, a coalmining town of 3,400 people surrounded by lush wooded hillsides.
For the MSM we'll list the confounding problems:
Mingo County - not confounding - filled with people too stupid to buy opera tickets
West Virginia - not confounding - filled with people too stupid to buy a New Yorker
Coalminers - confounding - they used to be reliable. Union members should know better that racism doesn't preclude unionism. Unionism precludes racism.
Muslims - not confounding - We're so dumb we think Obama is a Muslim which bolsters semi-rich intellectuals thinking that they're smarter than us little folks.
Atheist - not confounding - We're so smart we think Michelle Obama is an atheist which bolsters semi-rich intellectuals thinking that they're smarter.
Cigarette - not confounding - If you like tobacco you are too stupid to exist. Period.
Fire Station - confounding - Great image, but you might be conservative. Shut up and smile.
Lush wooded hillsides - Thrown in because journalism teachers taught them that.
Liars - The reporters above.

Obama Needs a History Lesson 
In his victory speech after the North Carolina primary, Sen. Barack Obama said something that is all the more remarkable for how little it has been remarked upon.
In defending his stated intent to meet with America's enemies without preconditions, Sen. Obama said: "I trust the American people to understand that it is not weakness, but wisdom to talk not just to our friends, but to our enemies, like Roosevelt did, and Kennedy did, and Truman did."
That he made this statement, and that it passed without comment by the journalists covering his speech indicates either breathtaking ignorance of history on the part of both, or deceit.

A Parody Of Truth Starring The IVAW & The Congressional Progressive Caucus
The proverbial two wrongs don't make a right comes to mind here. Here in Ohio we have the distinct pleasure of having at least three members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
What would a nut caucus be worth if it didn't have Dennis Kuchinich? Well, it wouldn't be a real caucus without tin-foil man. Then there is Stephanie Tubbs-Jones who married anaxe murderer. Aw, sweet Marcy, she's just Kapturvating when she calls our founding fathers terrorists.
I love the Congressional Progressive Caucus. It is more entertaining that SNL at its worst.
Now the Iraq Veterans Against the War are taking their case toCongress the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC). This should be a show. A show of losers testifying before losers in a show of solidarity to lose the War On Terror. Of course, the CPC isn't a real committee. This is Conyers' fake hearing Part Deux only more so in a theatrical sense of the absurd.
To assist the CPC and the IVAW and the pursuit of justice, a petition has been started to help get to the truth behind accusations of American atrocities in Iraq:
* Make request of the Iraq Veterans Against the War that member(s) of the Caucus be provided video of the entire Winter Soldier Investigation “testimony” proceedings and be provided access to all those who testified,
*That the Caucus require any testimony given by IVAW be presented in the following format:
D: Date(s) - When did the incident occur?
U: Unit(s) - What military units were involved?
P: Personnel - What are the names of the participants and witnesses?
E: Event(s) - What exactly happened exactly where?
S: Signature(s) - Was this reported at the time or later and were reports, affidavits or depositions signed, or will they now be signed?
* That in the event that staff determines that there has been testimony given that touches on areas where, in the words of Senator Warner, the members of the SASC “have a responsibility to establish where in the military chain of command rests the ‘accountability,’ depending of course, on the accuracy of the facts…”, the Caucus forward the information to the House Armed Services Committee (HASC),
* That the Caucus request and all documents and records, signed statements and recordings, audio, video or digital, that bear on the claims made and being investigated,
* That the Caucus demand that those making such claims or professing publicly to verify those claims be requested or subpoened to appear before the HASC under oath, to answer questions.
