Newt on Sarah’s experience

Most likely MSNBC will squash this YouTube video, because Newt is spot on in rebutting the argument that Obama’s experience in running a campaign is larger than Sarah Palin being a governer.

The reporter asking the question, and getting Newt’s response was golden, “um-er, back to you [...]

Why I like McCain’s pick

I’m gonna be positive.  I’d rather not wade into the muck of leftist hypocrisy (I’ll leave that to Jeff G at Protein Wisdom — warning, not a good link if you want to avoid rough language, Jeff’s a bit um, colorful)
There are a lot of cruel things being said of the Governor, (most of the [...]

Palin / Quayle comparisons

They seem to be rife throughout the internets…
Some little remembered facts about Quayle… (from Wikipedia)

Bush was trailing by as much as 15 points to Dukakis before the Republican Convention in 88.
Senator John McCain, said of Quayle “I can’t believe a guy that handsome wouldn’t have some impact.”
Sure enough, post convention the Bush/Quayle got a bump, [...]

I voted today…

| == straight R.
L == straight liberal because liberals are all crooked.

For AP: Biblical context for ‘With us’

Last week, HotAir’s AllahPundit had a discussion on the Amish’s tendancy to outrageously forgive their enemies, and asked Christians to reconcile their advocacy of war, with Christ’s teaching of ‘turn the other cheek’.
Today’s controversy is Ted Turner’s comments on President Bush use of the phrase ‘if you aren’t with us, you are against us’, quoting [...]

Forgiveness v. Justice… the point is Grace.

Allahpundit over at HotAir has a good link to an article about one of the Amish girls being asked to be shot first, to give more time to her companions. Then as he is wont, goes on to post an excerpt to a post by John Podhoretz that cracks open the question of Forgiveness [...]

None of the above…
