One thing that disgusted me equally about Sarah Palin and Joe Biden last night was their proclamation of a “passion” and deep, abiding “love” for a foreign country during an American presidential campaign. I turned to those watching with me and said, “Could they get away with saying that about any of our other allies? [...]

I don’t like Sarah Palin that much (not nearly as much as some people do anyway), and I don’t like Joe Biden, D-MBNA. Having said that, I don’t see how anyone could think Biden won the debate last night. There is no doubt that Joe Biden is more articulate than Sarah Palin. However, almost nothing [...]

I was shocked to receive an email today regarding the death of Ron Paul’s campaign chairman, Kent Snyder. I met Snyder when I was in Iowa campaigning in January, and he was a very personable guy from what I could tell in the brief time we crossed paths. I’ve been waiting for the perfect piece [...]

“Libertarianism is the heart and soul of conservatism.” That quote becomes more interesting when you find out that Ronald Reagan said it in 1975. Today would have been Reagan’s birthday. Why not sit back and listen to a vintage Reagan speech and decide which candidate is most like him among today’s GOP candidates (I’ll give [...]

For a few months (since the beginning of my site), I’ve had a page in the sidebar warning America (and the world, for that matter) about “Rudy Giuliani, Tax and Spend Liberal.” I’m glad to say that the T&SL has dropped out of the race– he was by far the worst candidate running, and I’m [...]

I thought these pictures were appropriate to elaborate further on my last post. Ron Paul was apparently the star of the Congressional baseball team in the 1980s, as well as being good friends with baseball legend Nolan Ryan. Credit for the photos goes to this blog.
