It appears the ACLU is launching a protest against Bush on inauguration day. In fact, they even imply that President Bush is deliberately seeking to take away our freedoms.   Here is a recent campaign they are running on their website:       Help Us Get 100,000 People to Take the Pledge by Inauguration Day -- January 20th Today our most fundamental freedoms are in jeopardy. Only a bold, spirited movement of people like you who refuse to surrender your freedom...

Tune to Fox News for an interesting interview with the teacher that was the subject of the article Declaration of Independence Banned! The facts ought to be interesting. If you miss the show on now, it will be replayed later on tonight.   Update: Here is the transcript of the interview with the teacher.   STEPHEN WILLIAMS, TEACHER, STEVENS CREEK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Yes. Last year, starting out in the beginning of the year, I hadn't changed my curriculum much at all,...

Hillary Clinton should leave this award off her resume when she runs for President in 2008. She has recently been awarded the   "German Media Prize" of 2004, a left-wing award to political figures. Other recipients of the German accolade include: Bill Clinton UN Secretary General Kofi Anon German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder Nelson Mandela Yassir Arafat     Nice company you keep, Hillary.

Environmentalists love to talk about the Bush administration's assault on the environment. They claim Bush has the worst environmental policies than any president in US history. He is cited as the equivilent of a terrorist on our air and Mother Earth. A recent report by the EPA may actually refute these accusations. The report finds that particle pollution has dropped 10% under Bush's watch.   "LOS ANGELES A new Environmental Protection Agency report says concentrations of dang...

Some Americans lament to immigrants, "Assimilate or go home." Well according to a recent study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association , immigrants are definitely assimilating, just not like you might think. "Only 8 percent of immigrants who had lived in the United States for less than a year were obese, but that jumped to 19 percent among those who had been here for at least 15 years. That compared with 22 percent of U.S.-born residents surveyed." Apparently, i...

Bernard Kerik who was President Bush's choice for Homeland Security Secretary has withdrawn his name for consideration. He cited "personal reasons." I am sorry to hear this news.

Check out this website Draft Al Gore to run for President in 2008. This would be a Republican dream come true. Where do I sign up to make donations? Al Gore has completely lost all semblance of sanity since the 2000 election. Some Democrats are living in a serious fantasy land.

*A special thanks to Little_whip's article How the left stole Christmas for the inspiration for this blog* Our culture is rife with double messages. We promote individuality, diversity, and "bucking the system". Rebels are held in the highest esteem as artists, philosophers, and leaders. Yet, we have to be careful not to offend those that are diverse, individuals, and outside of the mainstream. We adjust the "system" and culture to cater to the feelings of those diverse peoples as...

After reading another blog about a proposed amendment requiring the teaching of the constitution in schools, I could not help but recall a recent news story. How would Senator Byrd, being a Democrat, address this school decision? If Byrd's amendment passed, would we then have to declare what parts of the constitution and American history could be taught? Would we have to censor our own history? Declaration of Independence Banned at Calif School Wed Nov 24, 2004 04:12 PM ET By Dan...

So, yesterday, I was perusing the latest edition of Time magazine. For some reason, I always start at the last page and go backwards...call me crazy. The last article in Time magazine is always an op-ed piece that usually irriates me but rarely surprises me. While reading last week's aggravating piece entitled "The Battle is Over, but the War Goes On" by Michelle Cottie, I came across this paragraph: "Democrats found this election discombobulating because no matter how often they hear a...

We all know that the government could spend our money better. Cries of fiscal responsibility from both parties can be heard throughout our country. Since it is your money being spent, I would like to know what programs you would cut and why.

Since I cannot comment on another user's blog about cutting Pell Grant funding (seems I was pre-emptively blacklisted), I would like to offer an opposing point of view. While I commend anyone who rises above the difficulties life has dealt them, giving credit to government programs diminishes that person's achievement. I, too, came from a low-income family. College was not an option for me unless I earned it. Instead of applying for a government grant, I strived from my very first day i...

Who are the real bigots? Right-wingers? Red state constituents? I think not. Below I have cited comments made by White House Bureau Chief Helen Thomas, now a syndicated columnist with Hearst. Asked about the election result, the sharp-tongued reporter simply put her hand on her face and said, "My God, the man is a fascist -- a fascist, I tell you." She warned that Bush's victory will mean one thing: more war. She expects Iran to be next. In reference to Condoleezza Rice's nominati...

Tuesday, November 16 12:00 PM ET Bush to Abolish Government By Adam Tan Washington DC - In what is believed to be the most ambitious second-term agenda in recent presidential history, George W. Bush announced yesterday he plans to abolish the federal government "in its entirety" by the end of 2005 and then rule "by decree." Bush stated that his program reflects "the overwhelming and unverifiable mandate" he received in the election. Administration officials have already made g...

Call me crazy, but I laughed, I cried, I twiddled my thumbs. As I watched the opening and dedication ceremony of the Clinton library, I laughed when former President Carter apologized for a stumbling block he may have created in Clinton's rise to power. I teared up when Bush 41 talked about Clinton's tenacity at overcoming difficulties of childhood to be the man from and of "Hope." When Clinton droned on and on and on....I twiddled my thumbs. After about 15 minutes, all I could hear was th...
