Well it's all over the news, at least the blogosphere. George Tiller, the doctor in Kansas who performed late term abortions to help pregnant women alleviate depression was shot dead while attending church.In all honesty I have never heard of Dr. Tiller before this. I was not aware of what he was doing, and I wondered what all the hub-bub was about. So I stuck my head inside the echo chambers and quickly removed it when the reverberations got to be too much to handle.Here is how the story goes,...
Conservative Disjointedness
In between reading about the more serious and fascinating events taking place in our society; Sonia Sotomayor's SCOTUS nomination, North Korea testing a nuke and claiming the 1953 armistice is now defunct, or the potential National VAT tax being kicked around by the obstreperous children dwelling on the Hill, I found a little time to pick up on a recent street fight which developed earlier last week between the cyber-writing heads of conservadom.The story to the best of my knowledge starts out...
Small Blog Roundup: Saturday, May 30th, 2009
Figured it was time for another roundup, so I got my lasso and went cyber rustling for some linkage. Here is what I found, for homegrown bloggage you have come to the right spot.Thoughts for Thinkers-The first target of opportunity on my mission was a recent acquisition to ye olde friends connect. An interesting blog with thinker in the title, so it can't be all that bad and it isn't. In fact its pretty damn good.The Conservative Mama-Great minds think alike.

A new model for GOP success might be arising in the state of Virginia with the former Attorney General, Bob McDonnell, accepting the uncontested GOP nomination for governor.From the Washington Times.Washington Times-Republican Bob McDonnell accepted his party's charge Saturday to pry the Virginia governor's office from Democratic control for the first time since 2002.Before a roaring crowd of more than 10,000 delegates, the uncontested conservative former attorney general tacked toward the middle,...
FINALLY!! A modern day Conservative thinker using Edmund Burke as the benchmark for the Obama Presidency.
It would have been a crime, in my own mind, not to run this fantastic article. It has two of my favorite things, politically speaking, it is written by Thomas Sowell, a well respected conservative thinker, economist, and author. And he critiques the Presidency of Barack Obama using thoughts from Sir Edmund Burke, the cornerstone of Anglo-American conservatism. Thought provoking, well written, and...
Sonia Sotomayor and Legal Opinions on her Nomination
Ask any of this blog's four consistent readers, my Mom, Dad, crazy Uncle Lenny, and my loony, progressive minded, Obama voting Basset hound, and they will tell you that I have the utmost respect for the Supreme Court of the United States and for its members, both liberal and conservative.This brings me to the point of this post. First off, while I have a rabid fascination with the law, I am not a lawyer nor do I have a desire to sell my soul and become an proselyte of Satan by becoming one. (I...
Mitt Romney: The Presidential Candidate I used to Despise
On my ride home today, I gave Jason, a part time contributor here at PACT and owner of The Western Experience, a call to see how goings on in his life were progressing and just catch up on daily events. After a few minutes of talking he said something I never thought I would hear coming out of his very conservative mouth, "I am really impressed by Romney and I think he might be the man for 2012."I was completely aghast by this statement. You see, Jason and I share many common grounds as conservatives...
Reasons Conservatives Might Use to Oppose Sotomayor Nomination
Obama's Judge Sonia Sotomayor pick for Supreme Court Justice has already started dredging up some controversy. Conservatives are raising concerns over Sotomayor's reputed potential for "judicial activism."While there are a range of arguments conservatives have against Sotomayor, there are a few at the top which demand some exploration. I am sure we will be seeing these in the upcoming Senate confirmation...
Heritage Foundation: Data Set on Chinese Foreign Investments
Over the past ten to fifteen years there has been growing apprehension concerning Chinese foreign investments, bond and non-bond related. The People's Republic of China has sought to increase its sphere of influence through investments in major powers across the globe and developing nations as well. The Heritage Foundation, recently put together a fairly comprehensive data set tracking non-bond Chinese...
North Korea's Nuclear Solutions
Yesterday the regime of North Korea's Kim Jong Il fired off its second nuclear device as well as launching three surface to air missiles as a warning to US spy planes. This recent atomic test leaves the Obama administration with an ever-present conundrum, how to successfully denuclearize the isolated nation and bring relations to a state of normalcy.Unlike the alleged "fizzle," which took place in...
In the News: Monday, May 25th, 2009
Pull up a chair and get your java on, although beware of bombs.

Small Blog Roundup: Monday, May 25th, 2009
The Small Blog Roundup seemed to go over without a hitch and was fairly well received by the brethren of small bloggers. So, in between some regional Southern barbecue and a not so healthy dose of Guinness, I found some time to get in the second edition.Well today we have a myriad of topics ranging from musings, to babes with guns, to Texans quoting Shakespeare, and everything in-between.Amusing Bunni's Musings-Everybody needs a bunni buddy in the blogosphere. Bunni warns us not to believe all...
Pravda: America 's Descent into Marxism
Interesting op-ed from the Russian newspaper Pravda concerning America's descent into a Marxism and the willingness of the US citizenry to passively stand by and watch it happen.From Pravda,It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the...
Rule #5: Females, Football, Fighting and Fortissimo
With all of this talk about Pussy Galore, no I am not referring to the abundance of the female anatomy, I mean the Bond girl, it got me thinking about Sunday. So, in honor of all the sexist, male chauvinist, truffle searching pigs out there, here is some Rule #5 action. Featuring some college football, hot babes, a reminder of what Liberal foreign policy really means, and music courtesy of the Rolling Stones.Females and FootballFighting and Fortissimo (Courtesy of the Stones, Just a Shot Away.)That...
The Left's New Crying Game: Pelosi, Pussy Galore, and Misogyny
Earlier the RNC released a video with a James Bond theme and taking on the issue of Pelosi calling the CIA liars. In the mix, the Leftwing echochamber has had to dig deep and you will be amazed at what they came up with to accuse the GOP of.First here is the video.The Progressive defense? Well you have one of three choices; racism, homophobe, or misogynist. If you chose either of the first two you...
Small Blog Roundup: Saturday May 23rd, 2009
This was a little something I was doing a few months back, then in my blogging A.D.D. lifestyle that I am so fond of, I moved away from it. Well, it's back and going to be more consistent since I enjoy seeing what those small bloggers, such as myself, have to say about life, politics, culture, and society.Without further adieu,Right Klik-One of my favorite smaller blogs. Klik has to be the hardest working small blogger I have seen in recent times. Not only putting out some damn fine observations...
Steven Crowder's latest, Dark Pelosi
Cheap, vulgar, and disrespectful, but utterly hilarious. Steven Crowder, frequent vlogger on Breibart's Big Hollywood, on Nancy Pelosi, lying, and waterboarding.H/T to Self Evident Truths for the vid....
Daniel Hannan on Sean Hannity
Daniel Hannan, Member of European Parliament and a staunch British conservative, appeared on Sean Hannity and has some very eloquent words of wisdom and warning for our fledgling country about its current path. I wonder if the Department of Homeland Security thinks that Mr. Hannan should be banned from entering the country for promoting right-wing hate speech? Just for fun, let's compare Mr. Hannan to our version of a "conservative." Embedded video from CNN VideoAsk yourself this question, "If...
President Obama and Notre Dame: Conflict Over Choice or Life.
Well the very controversial Notre Dame/Obama commencement speech is over. Protests took place and the President called for his obligatory ever-growing diversity -- diversity of thought, diversity of culture, and diversity of belief. Then "Poof!" it was over as quick as it began. Nothing accomplished.More than just being a Catholic, and a pretty pitiful one, I oppose abortion on the grounds that whether there is life at the moment of conception or not, the one thing that is not debatable and that...
Republican and Conservative Women, The Body Politic
You know, Stacy McCain made a great point, via Ann Coulter, that the stereotypical conservative guy is seen as being some aged, balding, white guy, with a bad complexion and he sweats too much. Well, it got me thinking about the stereotypical view of conservative woman also.Here is what used to pop in my mind.Here is the reality though.Can't forget the recent advent of one Michelle Muccio, the Rebel...
