Intellectual Dishonesty At MediaMatters
Caught in a lie.
That’s essentially how Republicans and Conservative talkers have been described by MediaMatters.org and other liberal bloggers.
But a quick Google search revealed that MediaMatters is being dishonest in its portrayal of Conservatives and Republicans as trying to “falsely accuse Dems of hypocrisy.” In fact, MediaMatters actually expose their own complicity in the promotion [...]
Huntsman Strategist: GOP Loses with Palin and Limbaugh
From the Washington Examiner, a commentary that explains why most conservatives in Utah are having second thoughts about electing Jon Huntsman Jr. to the State’s highest office.
Since his election, Huntsman has taken some pretty hard left turns, such as advocating for policies to combat global warming, and vocally supporting same-sex unions.
Now, it appears he is [...]
Specter’s Opposition Thins
Arlen Specter’s leading opponent in the Democratic Primary in Pennsylvania has dropped out of the race, according to an AP story.

This is one example of the appearance of the Teacher. [...]

Sarah Palin Cartoons
A small collection of cartoons featuring Sarah Palin. Some of them are pretty good.
Sarah Palin of Alaska is John McCain’s VP Choice
Sarah Palin, current governor of Alaska is John McCain’s choice for Vice-President.
There are a lot of people excited right now. The folks at Townhall.com were “ecstatic.” Glenn Beck described the choice as “brilliant.” Even Karl Rove had many good things to say about the decision.
I had looked at Sarah Palin for only a moment, and [...]
Bennion Spencer: the Lord’s Anointed
I have heard several commentators, including Rush Limbaugh, voice their concerns about the state of today’s Democratic Party. Well, it seems the Democratic Party is in great shape after all. How could it not be with all those people intent on saving us from ourselves?
The Vision of the Anointed
I’ve been out of town for a couple of days. Time to catch up.
While I was on vacation, I finished reading Thomas Sowell’s marvelous book The Vision of the Anointed. It was a fantastic read! Many of my favorite current affairs books leave me wanting to strangle some liberal, just to make me feel better. [...]
