Tolerant left heads to court - demands private business change

Steve M — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 14:32:05 +0000

As I was driving into work this morning, something on the radio got me thinking about how the left likes to use the judicial system to reverse the will of the people. It’s a pretty solid tactic if you can get aways with it since instead of having a normal discussion and a vote on [...]

Redistribution - evil concealed by money

Steve M — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:21:33 +0000

Another great Walter Williams column today. I enjoy reading Prof. Williams since he does something similar to what I try to do here at Conservative247. He just does it so much better. So, can an evil act be “transformed” into something that seems much more legit? Onward to your next lesson - using great analogies - [...]

Congress sucks, but my guy is great - he brings home the bacon

Of course, this particular Republican is from Michigan, one of the many elected leaders from that state demanding a federal bailout of the auto industry. During an interview with Neil Cavuto on Fox News, Joe Knollenberg, a Republican congressman from Michigan, told Cavuto it’s not his money. Republicans like Knollenberg loose elections because of policies like [...]

Obligatory link to the “How Obama got elected” video

Steve M — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:30:19 +0000

I’m not a big fan of man-on-the-street political interviews by radio and TV shows. Generally, they pick out the people who give funny or uninformed answers and play the answers for laughs. The video, provided in this post, is a bit different. It’s edited in a biased way, but the effort by John Ziegler at [...]

Everyone lines up for a bailout

Steve M — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 19:43:50 +0000

The day the $750 billion dollar federal bailout figure was mentioned, every single Fortune 100 company, state and city chief financial officer started planning. Not only would this level of federal involvement in these institutions be unprecedented, it would actually dramatically change the way everyone did business. Let’s say you owned a small ice cream stand [...]

NASA science - climate change numbers don’t add up

Steve M — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 14:20:01 +0000

The United Nations relies on four data sources for it’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. One of them is NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), headed up by Dr. James Hansen who some consider to be the scientific leader of global warming hysteria, and a good buddy of Al Gore. Other scientists - who have [...]

DNC claims poverty, asks for donations after election

Steve M — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 17:20:33 +0000

A few months ago I took one for the team and subscribed to e-mail alerts from the Obama campaign and family. It was so nice to get personal e-mails from Michelle reminding me I only had until midnight to donate to the campaign for a chance to have a front row seat to history on [...]

Google releases GMail video and audio chat

Steve M — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 23:04:22 +0000

For those of you with a video camera on your Mac or a stand alone webcam, Google just released GMail Video Chat. I just tried it out by plugging my old Logitech Quickcam into a USB port, going to this site, installing the plugin for the browser (Firefox, Safari, IE and Chrome should all work), restarted [...]

Privacy rights of illegal alien felons trump law-abiding gun owners

Steve M — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 18:40:23 +0000

In Oregon last year, the Mail Tribune asked the Jackson County sheriff to provide a list of those with a concealed carry permit. The sheriff said no, and the case went to court, but did you know that a 2005 request to provide a list of all illegal aliens convicted of a crime - including [...]

Palin could be next national conservative leader

Steve M — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 01:42:59 +0000

I have no idea who will step up as the leader of conservatives during the next two years. Quite honestly, I’m not sure if anyone will step up as a national leader for conservatives. But we do need a leader. Could it be Gov. Palin? One thing seems for certain, if we held a national Republican [...]
