Whaaaat?

One of the things I have long admired about the current administration is that President Bush has kept his convictions intact and acted upon them despite the polls, despite the unpopular opinion, and despite critics.

I am now embarrassed to say that I see all of that slowly crumbling. The Supreme Court has made a decision that, I believe, it had no power to make with regard to the detainees at our POW camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and now the President is caving on his stance on that. I'm very disappointed.

Can we not all understand that these detainees are unlawful combatants who represent no nation state, who wear no uniform, and who show total and utter disregard for the rules of war? How has the Bush administration been led astray on this?!

The administration is winding down and ready to retire.

Geneva protections are earned by virtue of one's actions on the battlefield, and not awarded to illegal combatants by judicial fiat.

The White House has dropped the ball on this one, IMO.

Well Chumly, what a way to retire... it's depressing to back someone I thought had very clear convictions only to find that he's pooped and ready for the ranch! ;) I just hope he gets some rest and shores up his crumbling convictions soon.

As much as I hate to agree with you on the "surrender," Scott, it sure seems that way, doesn't it? It's ridiculous when people in our own party are succumbing to the constant badgering of idiots. I thought we were stronger than that!!

Not only does it seem the White House dropped the ball, Kad, I think it was a severe slice right into the high reeds around the water hazard. The President ought to stick to his trusty driver on this particular hole!

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste
