Great and Not So Great


By Contrast
Big as Reagan's mandate was, in two elections, the man was never bigger than his country. There was never narcissism or a bloated sense of personal destiny in him. He gloried in the country, and drew sustenance from its heroic deeds and its capacity for recovery. No political class rode with him to power anxious to lay its hands on the nation's treasure, eager to supplant the forces of the market with its own economic preferences. (Fouad Ajami, WSJ, 8/12/10)

Dirty Harry
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is taking heat after he told a crowd of supporters Tuesday that he doesn’t know "how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican."
(Foxnews.com, 8/12/10)

One of the most egregious Democrat lies is that the Republican party is comprised entirely of white males…often further portrayed as white males looking to preserve their hegemony over America. No matter how much evidence to the contrary (J.C. Watts, Sarah Palin, Condi Rice, Alberto Gonzalez, Marc Rubio, etc.), Democrats just keep repeating the lie. This, of course, fits in with their belief system that all minorities should be Democrats. Why? Because in their hearts Democrats believe that minorities are like poor disadvantaged children that need the protection and largesse that only the Democrat party provides. It is an insulting belief system.

Voters Be Damned!
Just a week after ruling that Proposition 8 - a 2008 voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage – was unconstitutional, Judge Vaughn R. Walker, the chief judge of the Federal District Court of the Northern District of California, lifted a stay on his decision, opening the door for untold numbers of gay couples to marry in the nation's most populous state. But he delayed implementation of the order to lift his stay until Aug. 18. (NYTdirect.com, 8/12/10)

In one of those unbelievable coincidences, a gay judge rules in favor…of gay marriage.
