Vandals II Updated

31 October, 2004 (07:57) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

I was almost convinced that I’d been a bit too harsh when talking about the increased rate of Bush campaign signs being defaced and destroyed. Right up until this morning when I went out for the paper and saw my sign – the one that’s been in my yard now for a few weeks – [...]

Undermining American Democracy

30 October, 2004 (16:05) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

Something I’ve been thinking about for some time but never managed to get into words appeared in print Friday in the San Diego Union Tribune. Columnist Joseph Perkins talks about the disastrous erosion of confidence in our electoral process that began during the Y2K elections. :::::::: Richard Nixon would have captured the 1960 presidential election [...]

The Methods Of Vandals

When political signs started popping up for real about 6 weeks ago, I made note of them since they were something new along my morning commute. They dot the median strips of the parkway I ride in toward my rendezvous with the carpool. As I see them every day, their positions have become quite marked [...]

Say The Lie Long Enough…

29 October, 2004 (07:43) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

Power Line has a link to a story written by Senator Tom Harkin pushing the claim – yet again – that President Bush will re-instate the draft if he’s elected again. Again, in the face of all the facts, he joins in on the lie the DNC is using to spread fear in their attempt [...]

Precisely the situation I described has been revealed regarding the missing explosives in Iraq. As noted on the Belmont Club, last night’s NBC broadcast had this to say: :::::::: NBC News: Miklaszewski: “April 10, 2003, only three weeks into the war, NBC News was embedded with troops from the Army’s 101st Airborne as they temporarily [...]

Missing Explosives In Iraq (Updated)

25 October, 2004 (10:28) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

The reports vary between 350 and 400 tons, but either way you slice it that’s a helluva lot of explosives to go missing. Make no mistake, it’s a serious issue. The 2 items, called HMX and RDX, are components of plastic explosives such as C-4 and Semtex. With the correct skills, they can be formed [...]

The Once and Present Liar

25 October, 2004 (08:14) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

It is a common mantra of the Left that President Bush has lied about a good many things. Of course, when actually called upon to prove a lie, as the word is actually defined, they can’t. That the President has said things that turned out to be untrue or followed the advice of people who [...]

Democrats’ Concern Over Church/State Separation Seems Unsteady

24 October, 2004 (21:43) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

As noted over at Power Line, the Dems seem to only care about separating the activities of Church and State when it’s the President suggesting faith-based activities.

You’re a Republican???

Damn right. Do I adhere to this man’s vision completely? Nope. And that’s OK because the other 90% I do. Unlike the Left these days, we can be reasonable in our disagreement and work to a common ground. via Polipundit.

UK Now Officially Recognizes Satanism

24 October, 2004 (14:23) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

Surely you don’t think I’d make that up, do you? As reported on CNN. I certainly hope it’s someone’s idea of a seasonal prank, but given the other bright ideas coming out of the UK recently, I’m not holding my breath.
