What the Media is Missing About Cain’s Florida Straw Poll Showing
Posted on September 24, 2011 - Filed Under Conservatism, Conservatives, Elections, GOP, News, Polls, Republicans, Taxes, Tea Party/Protests, Video | 3 Comments
To read the headlines tonight, one might think that the results of the Florida straw poll (Herman Cain won big, in case you didn’t know) are both shocking and a rebuke to at least one or more of the other GOP candidates. In my opinion, having watched and listened to Mr. Cain — and [...]

At 199 pages, the President’s “American Jobs Act” isn’t a particularly onerous read as far as bills out of Washington go, and for that reason at least you might want to give it a once-over. You can find it at this link.
I’ve just spent no more than ten minutes reading the Bill That Must [...]

I am a former soldier. 155mm artillery, to be precise. I have never been in combat. That should cover the needed disclaimers.
My war was the cold one. I was honored to be stationed on one of the front lines of the Cold War at a critical time. I had the [...]

I’ve not posted here for some time, primarily because I don’t want to get this blog and my friends entwined in my political campaign for the Florida House of Representatives.
But.
I have to take a victory lap. This blog mentioned the victory in the Mojave Desert Cross case a couple of days ago. STACLU, [...]

I met this young lady, Heather, in a median in Orlando, Florida. I asked her what she meant by her sign, and — let’s just say that some of the formerly enthusiastic young Democrat voters are noticing the lack of unicorns.

If you click the link below, you can play a fascinating animated graphic of unemployment by county over time from 2007 to almost today. It’s fascinating, and I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions about why flyover country seems to be the last to be devoured by the unemployment rates, [...]

Today is an important and wholly appropriate national holiday. I love this country and its history, and as such have to accept the bad with the good, perhaps most significantly the incongruity between the ideas so [...]

Last night I posted “The Corps was bored” as my comment on the president’s Afghanistan speech.
Now I hear that the hammer is coming down on cadets who were caught on film fading out during the soaring rhetoric. As someone who came so close to being a century man that I almost regret not achieving [...]
The Corps was bored

With regard to the president’s speech at West Point this evening, and as a former member of the United States Corps of Cadets, I can tell you from the pans of the audience at Ike Hall that the CIC was putting them to sleep, telling them absolutely nothing that every plebe there already knew much [...]

The objective facts of the Rifqa Bary case, viewed with a minimum of passion and maximum wisdom and discernment, certainly should matter, to Christians in particular. I write this post because today a report by the FDLE (Florida Department of Law Enforcement) addressing the claims of Rifqa Bary that her parents would allegedly kill [...]

Dear Senator Bill Nelson:
I remember the fall of 1992, watching the FSU homecoming parade pass by the law school, at which I was a first-year student, along Jefferson Street. I, along with other students, stepped outside to watch the parade. There was an odd incident when a student tried to mount a horse [...]

Cap and Trade just passed in the House.
The margin of passage was seven votes.
Eight Republicans voted yes.
Here’s the link to the roll call vote.
Now, party unity is not a bedrock principle above all others. But this legislation is (I would say “on its face”, but can’t because it’s not been read and may actually [...]

This post is simply an observation. I hadn’t paid much attention to the story of the VC-25A sometimes known as Air Force One buzzing New York City. I did note the incident, but chalked it up to a dumb decision with unintended consequences, and not as important as any number of things the [...]
