How to elect a liberal president
The New York Times ran an opinion piece written by Dr. James Dobson today (found via DMN Religion Blog ) where he speaks about a meeting that was held last weekend with more than 50 pro-family leaders. I want to add my opinion to what Dr. Dobson says...

Why Fred Thompson will be President
Wish I had the ability to have written this myself, but I can't. J. Peter Mulhern has an excellent essay on why FDT will be elected next year . On a related note, The Anchoress has a great article about why a Christian third party is a bad idea. She hits...

I just got an email from Joe Carter at the Family Research Council (also of The Evangelical Outpost). Joe sent out a link to this story on the FRC blog about how funding was pulled from an infant HIV testing program, funding which was already in place...

Quick Thoughts
Super Bowl - Congratulations to Peyton Manning, Tony Dungy and the Colts on last night's Super Bowl victory. I've been a fan of Tony Dungy's since he was the head coach in Tampa Bay, mainly because of his faith and his understated way of displaying...

HA! and HA! again
Good stuff here . I wonder if politicians are inherently stupid or if there is a special additive to the water in DC which makes them so? John Kerry is a rare treasure indeed, the gift that keeps on giving. One would think that after his failed presidential...

What happens when a city tries to do something about illegal immigration?
Well, it looks like if they do it in Texas, they get sued. The city of Farmers Branch city council decided to approve a couple of new ordinances in their city which has the citizens up in arms. I'll be picking parts out of this article throughout...

I wonder why that is?
The Dallas Morning News as a story about TXU (Texas Utilities, the main electric company in Texas) showing twice as much profit this year as opposed to last year. A couple of choice quotes from the story. TXU Corp. nearly doubled its profit for the third...

Some good thoughts about the "religious right"
Joe Carter over at the Evangelical Outpost has some good thoughts on what it means to be on the "religious right". My favorite is this one: We must keep in mind that term “religious right” encompasses two spectrums. Because of our...

Some good reading
Jay Tea over at Wizbang has a good one going here . I'll link to the intro piece, which will have links to the subsequent ones. Unless Jay Tea doesn't update the intro, then I'll come back and link the others. Part II from today was especially good.

An "American Hiroshima"
Read this first. (H/T; Lorie at WizBang) Finished? Read this next. OK, my thoughts? I think they are absolutely serious and we would be idiots to think otherwise. I think that the southern border has been wide open far too long and something like this...
