James Dobson has recently said that he would never vote for Rudy Giulani in the 2008 election due to Giuliani’s staunch support for abortion on demand:
Speaking as a private citizen and not on behalf of any organization or party, I cannot, and will not, vote for Rudy Giuliani in 2008. It is an irrevocable decision. If […]

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To […]

Rudy Guiliani is an economic conservative and a national defense conservative, but not a social values conservative.
As a Democrat, I hope Guiliani is not the Republican candidate. He’s the only one […]

This is surprising?
I agree with Chris Matthews when he says–as he did on his Tuesday evening show–that the idea that pro-life voters are just discovering that Rudy Giuliani is pro-choice is absurd. (I also agree with Matthews that this idea reflects the media elite’s disdain of the intelligence of conservatives generally and of pro-lifers specifically.)

My first impression of tonight’s debate from the Reagan Library was what a contrast to last week’s Democratic debate. The two parties, in many ways, occupy different thought worlds. That may best be seen in the marginal candidates in the two different parties, Kucinich and Gravel representing the kookie fringe of their party and Paul […]

Once the slippery slope has been opened the underpinnings of morality are jettisoned ethics becomes “the will of the people”:
WHEN THE BBC invited me onto one of its talk shows recently to talk about the day’s hot topic — legalizing adult incest — I thought of Rick Santorum.
