Disillusionment with Obama at Election Day + 12 Hours

lvcifera | November 30, 2008

Yesterday, we all got to see the very first unseemly games of the Obama approach to governance.  Last minute workers in Indianapolis were irate over showing up for their pay only to find an empty, locked office and a sign saying someone would arrive at 1:00.  At 1:30, they started to get angry and police were called [...]

By Julian Dunraven, J.D., M.P.A.
Honorable Friends,
This Thanksgiving, I had the pleasure of running into quite a few old friends I had not heard from in many years. Several complained to me that my email is too difficult to obtain because I was not on Facebook. It seems they did not even think to run a [...]

Focus Offers Obama Nightmare

ari | November 21, 2008

Westword pointed to a document from Focus on the Family titled, “Letter from 2012 in Obama’s America.” I figured I’d take a peek.
The document purports to describe events that could happen. “Many of our freedoms have been taken away by a liberal Supreme Court and a Democratic majority in both the House and the Senate,” [...]

Parker on GOP’s ‘Faustian Bargain’

ari | November 13, 2008

Douglas Parker, who worked in the Nixon and Ford administrations, offered the following analysis of the Republican Party in a letter to the New York Times:
… The party has made a Faustian bargain by its zealous courtship of evangelicals to gain their political support. …
Part of the price has been to give the religious right [...]
