Update: I can now confirm this was a deliberate attack. The next step is finding out who exactly is behind this.
Breaking news, with mixed reports on whether this was an accidental car crash or an intentional crash into the building. Initial reports say the fire is outside of the building, and that it did not [...]

SCOTUS Defends Political Free Speech for Students

Posted on June 30, 2007 - Filed Under ACLU | 2 Comments

It was Leftist speech that SCOTUS defended in this case but it offers a very useful precedent for political speech at schools and colleges generally:
“Putting its recent ruling on student speech into practice, the Supreme Court on Friday rejected a school district’s appeal of a ruling that it violated a student’s rights [...]

2008 Means More Than The White House

Posted on June 30, 2007 - Filed Under Politics As Usual | Comments Off

That’s right, the 2008 general election means a possible return of a Conservative majority in the Senate and perhaps the House as well if the GOP plays its cards right. Notice that I didn’t say Republican? I said Conservative.
The key to making this happen is an active search for Conservative candidates. Just because someone has [...]

Immigration Bill: Congress Sent To The Corner By The American People

Posted on June 29, 2007 - Filed Under Illegal Activities, News | 2 Comments

So, here we are: the immigration bill, obviously not knowing it was dead the first time, didn’t know to stay down, and had to be shot in the forehead a second time (I use this metaphor gleefully, as any mention of firearms and use thereof it surely will cause the left to defecate a bovine).
This [...]

IQ AND BIRTH ORDER

Posted on June 29, 2007 - Filed Under ACLU | 1 Comment

The article Explaining the Relation Between Birth Order and Intelligence by Petter Kristensen and Tor Bjerkedal (appearing in the journal “Science”) seems to have got quite an amazing amount of press so I thought I should say a few words about it. I did not make any comment initially because I thought [...]

One Sellout Dead Just In Time To Revive Another

Posted on June 29, 2007 - Filed Under Politics As Usual | Comments Off

As dust begins to collect on the now lifeless sellout known as the “Grand Compromise” by its promoters, a new threat is beginning to gain steam among those on the left who wish to silence the only media completely controlled by Conservatives - talk radio.
The Fairness Doctrine was an FCC rule that was allowed teeth [...]

More pseudo-psychology with the same old pseudo “findings”

Posted on June 28, 2007 - Filed Under ACLU | Comments Off

Newsweek has just given a big plug to a book called “The Political Brain” (by Drew Westen of Emory University) that purports to tell Democrats how to win elections. The writer of the review does not know the difference between “discreet” and “discrete” so the intellectual level to be expected is not high [...]

The Great American Sellout Has Died A Second Death

Posted on June 28, 2007 - Filed Under ACLU | 1 Comment

The much anticipated 3rd cloture vote on the Senate Immigration Reform Bill also know by readers of Gribbit’s Word as “The Great American Sellout” has resulted in a 3rd no vote on cloture. Sen. Harry Reid has once again promised to pull the bill from the floor. One can only hope it stays in its [...]

Crossposted at Church and State
Monday’s rulings by the Supreme Court were good news for conservatives on most fronts and I wanted to post a round-up of reactions to some of the key cases. First, here’s the WSJ report:
The Supreme Court punched a hole in McCain-Feingold yesterday, but it missed a chance to revisit its misguided [...]

Having opinions about race is not the same as racism

Posted on June 27, 2007 - Filed Under ACLU | 2 Comments

The article below is a typical rant about racism from a Left-leaning Australian newspaper. Typically, it makes no distinction between opinions about race and racism. To do so would deprive the author of much of the warm inner glow of righteousness she got from writing it. But, as any psychologist can [...]
