The Conservative Front

Ted Stevens, former Republican Senator from Alaska, died in a plane crash Monday. The AP has the story here. Other stories are here and here. Stevens is most recently know for his involvement in a Department of Justice investigation in which Stevens was convicted of seven counts of lying on Senate financial disclosure statements to [...]

The Justice Department has announced that it will dismiss all corruption charges against former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens and will not seek a new trial, citing prosecutorial misconduct, according to an AP report. The two prosecutors assigned to the case were held in contempt by the judge in the case, who called their behavior outrageous. [...]

When Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenburg, he was challenging the authority of the prevailing religion of the day, the Catholic Church. In a way, his struggle mirrors our own today. Instead of an infallible Pope, we have Al Gore unilaterally pronouncing the debate over. Instead [...]

You know, it’s a strange thing. The liberal voices who insist that we must change the way we do things always point to either Europe or Great Britain as models for how we should behave.
