Wrestlers Rap About “The Wrestler”
January 16, 2009 – 1:26 pm
Mickey Rourke with trainer “Afa” of the legendary tag team “The Wild Samoans”
It’s no secret I’m a huge pro wrestling fan. In fact, there’s only two things I watch on TV – news and pro wrestling. All of the popular shows – American Idol, Arrested Development, The World’s Next Top Chef, whatever, I haven’t a clue about. [...]
SA@Takimag – The End of an Error
January 15, 2009 – 9:58 pm
Under Bush, the conservative movement became what it is – a mere tool of the Republican Party. In the past, there were many on the Right who wrote books, promoted philosophies and endorsed policies they hoped might eventually become political and cultural realities, and they often considered the GOP the better party to help implement [...]
SA@Takimag – Pro-Life Death Merchants
January 13, 2009 – 9:13 pm
I have always found it bizarre that some of the most pro-war Americans are pro-lifers. To be passionate enough to protest on a street corner in the hopes that you might save lives is something I can understand. Yet for pro-lifers to consistently and enthusiastically vote for leaders whose foreign policies will admittedly lead to [...]
SA Column – The Worldwide Bailout
January 13, 2009 – 9:08 pm
When traditional conservatives, liberals, and others argue that America’s hyper-interventionist foreign policy is the cause of many of our problems and that they would like to see the U.S. do less around the world, they are called “isolationist” or worse. But like it or not, Israel and the U.S. are seen as one-and-the-same in the [...]
Campaign for Liberty, District 1, Charleston, SC
January 10, 2009 – 7:39 pm
The following is a repost of my thoughts from the Campaign for Liberty blog:
Tonight I had the pleasure of attending the first meeting of the local chapter of Campaign for Liberty for District 1 in Charleston, South Carolina. Organizer Sarabeth Rudd, known as “constitutiongirl” on CFL message boards did a fine job of putting together [...]
SA@Takimag – America First
January 8, 2009 – 9:59 pm
When traditional conservatives, liberals and others argue that America’s hyper-interventionist foreign policy is the cause of many of our problems, that we would like to see the U.S. do less around the world is called “isolationist” or worse. But like it or not, Israel and the U.S. are seen as one-in-the-same in the Middle East, [...]
Herb Silverman, Anti-Religious Fanaticism and the “I Believe” License Plate
January 7, 2009 – 6:30 pm
The response to to my pre-holiday Charleston City Paper column “Separating Church from Hate: Refusing to allow ‘I Believe’ license plates is an exercise in bad manners” has not only been overwhelming – but overwhelmingly negative, something I knew would happen the moment I wrote it (see here).
In fact, the responses generally proved the [...]
SA Column – Sanford’s struggle to inject responsibility into a reckless government
January 7, 2009 – 7:45 am
As a South Carolina congressman and now governor, Sanford has had one primary guiding principle his entire political career — limited government. Not just limited government rhetoric, the sort of lip service paid by milquetoast Republicans to pacify their right-leaning base, but genuine, strict, fiscal conservatism. More importantly, Sanford has the guts to back it [...]
Wall Street Journal on RNC Race: “Ron Paul Finally Gets His Due”
January 6, 2009 – 11:31 am
Could you imagine any of these folks warming up to Ron Paul and his followers during the campaign? Further evidence of why it was so important for John McCain and the GOP to get their ass kicked. I hope Katon Dawson means what he says here, as the GOP has been a single-issue party for [...]
SA@Takimag – A Governor for Change
January 5, 2009 – 9:15 am
As a congressman and now governor, South Carolina’s Mark Sanford has had one primary guiding principle his entire political career – limited government. Not just limited government rhetoric, the sort of lip service paid by milk-toast Republicans to pacify their Right-leaning base, but genuine, strict, fiscal conservatism with the guts to back it up. If [...]
