HA! We got him! Well, that's all I have to say. Anything else I'd say is already covered by a million other blogs, so I'll simply leave it at that.

Firstly, I go to Santa Clara University. It's a private, Catholic school run by the Jesuits. Now, you might expect a somewhat traditional kind of school out of that. And indeed, the school newspaper points out that Santa Clara is "...as notoriously liberal as Rush Limbaugh...". However, that quote illustrates exactly what the problem is. These people think that "Conservative" means, "somewhat to the right of Dennis Kucinich." In short, many of the people here a liberal idiots. Now, the context of the above quote is in an article about.......a drag show. That's right, on this campus, the Gay and Lesbian "communities" are holding a drag show in the Bronco, a sports bar area in the main caffeteria area. Now, this is bad enough on it's own. But it gets worse. All over Benson (the caffeteria building) are pictures of the people in the drag show. There are men dressed as women, women dressed as men, two siblings dressed as the opposite gender, etc. Now, this is embarasing to everyone I've talked to. I brought my younger sister over to see my campus, and she had to see the pictures. Imagine a student who brings, for instance, a faithful Catholic grandmother to see his campus. He takes her around, and she wants to sit down and have something to eat. So, they stop in Benson, where she has to see the perverse pictures up. It's disturbing, shocking, and wrong.

I had decided to retire my blog. College was going well, with few liberal outrages, and I thought I'd have no need of my blog. I was wrong. I will be blogging, I expect, quite a bit now.

I was scheduled to have a political science class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The class was cancelled, and those of us in the class all had to transfer to other classes. Our professor was Dariush Zahedi. If you've been watching Fox News, you'll know that Dariush Zahedi is being held in Iran right now on charges of espionage. The news keeps calling him a "Berkeley Professor," but he also taught here at Santa Clara University. He is an American citizen, and thus the Iranian government should probably not have imprisoned him. This story is of great interest to me, as it involves a professor I would have taken a class from.

So, I've just started college. It seems pretty fun so far. I'll be posting about any political outrages I expirience here, and other such contraaversial topics.

Starting off, it's not that bad. Turns out my roomate's a conservative, and we're both joining the young republicans on campus. I'm also looking at joining the Shotokan karate club. I'm a brown belt in Tae Kwon Do already, but I'm not sure about whether there's a Tae Kwon Do club here. I figure if I start Shotokan now, I can be a black belt by the time I graduate. I'm also thinking of joining a few other clubs, but I'm not sure yet what ones. I'll be posting soon in the future, so check back from time to time.

Well, it's actually not September 11 anymore, but I must write down my thoughts on the subject. I will do so by recounting my day two years ago.

It was a Tuesday. My high school was on a block schedule, so I had AP History, French 3, and Chemistry that day. I was a junior.

I almost always woke up before my mom, so I went in to wake her up. The TV in the room was left on, but muted. I saw what seemed to be some smoke and some buildings. I, still being rather half asleep, didn't think much of it. I kind of sat there watching it, until I saw the scroll underneath, which said something like, "World Trade Center, Pentagon, hit." I took it off mute and told my mom what had happened. She said, "that's not good." I went out to the dining room where my dad was already up getting ready for work. I told him what happened, and he came in and looked at the TV. We just watched in silence for a while.

My aunt called and told my mom not to send me and my sister to school. My sister didn't want to go to school, so she stayed home. I, however, did go to school. First up was U.S. History. My teacher for that was quite an interesting character. He's a conservative high school teacher in San Jose, California. In his class, we all discussed the attacks. The teacher explained some things about Islam to us. Though he's no great fan of Islam, and outside of class I've seen him actually speak against it by quoting horrible passages from the Koran, he seemed pretty fair in class. Noneof us really knew much yet, since the day was really just beginning, but that teacher did the best he could.

Next was French 3. My teacher for French 3 was perhaps the worst teacher I've ever had, and certainly the most obnoxious, anti-American liberal I've ever met. All of us students gathered around the radio to hear the news, but she turned it off with her remote control and told us; "Through the magic of school, we can tune out anything going on outside, and concentrate only of French. Later on that day, she asked a girl from Romania, "Feel at home?" It was then that I realized that people like her really didn't care. All the talk about unity and such was false, and the truly far left would never stop hating America.

After that was lunch, which I honestly have no memory of. I suppose I went to the library and tried to hear any further news. Regardless, after that I went to chemistry. Me, some other kids, and the teacher (a Danish woman) all discussed what was going on. Then the teacher assigned us a rather simple lap, so we all got with our lab groups. I was in a group of three, as were most people. We got around the table and did the lab. That classroom was right on the street, so every time a truck went by or anything, we all got worried. I found out that one of my lab partners mom wasworking in a tower in San Francisco. She was quite worried about her mom, and wanted to be done with the day so she could talk to her. There's something to remember. My lab partner's mom was fine. Think of some girl who's mom did die that day.

Think of someone who's mom or dad or brother or sister or husband or wife went off that morning and never returned. Really think about it. Don't just pass it off and say something about how sad it is. Really think about it. Think about what they were thinking that morning. Maybe the kids were going to go see Daddy at lunch. Maybe next week they were all going to fly to Hawaii. Maybe Mommy was going to make her famous cookies as soon as she got home from work. Just think about the little, trivial, beautiful dreams people have. Not big ones, just little ones. Think of the lives those terrorists destroyed. Think of the bitter sadness, the loss that can never be replaced. Think of that next time you hear someone talking about a "cycle of violence," or the "root causes of their hatred." They waged war on us. This war isn't about conquest, or oil, or even religion. It's about eliminating a violent, hateful system of thought wherein a little girl on her way to Disneyland on an airplane is the enemy. Wherein a guy sitting at his desk, perhaps working, perhaps wasting time with a computer game, perhaps thinking of his fiance and how they'll be married in a week, deserves to die just because he happens to be in America. Wherein a nation of free people of every race, ethnicity, and religion is "The Great Satan." People who would believe this are our enemies, and should be dealt with accordingly.

(I got a bit sidetracked there, sorry.) After chemistry, my school day was over. I came home and watched the news. My sister had catalogued all of the days reports, writing things like, "Another plane is known to be hijacked. Possibly heading for Washington." She had also made some little circular embroideries, featuring pictures of New York and the words like, "A day which will live in infamy." I can't really remember the rest of the day, but I remember the eerie lack of plane noises. You'd never know how much noise planes make unless they stopped flying. And we didn't know when they'd come back. For all I knew, there'd be another bombing the next day, and we'd be in a constant state of war right here in America.

I learned later that one of the women who died in the WTC had graduated from my high school about ten years before. That made me think. A person, a human being who had been right there at my school had also been there in the towers as they fell and as everything changed. Thinking about it, I was amazed. Someone who had eaten lunch in the same quad I ate lunch in, walked past the same old oak tree on her way to P.E., complained about some of the same teachers, done some of the same assignments, was dead in the attack. One wonders, did she ever sit, perhaps, in the same library that I sat in as she died, and read a book? Perhaps I've checked out a book she checked out. Perhaps she had seen some of my classmates, when they were young children living near the school. Perhaps she had sat on the same bench I sat on, looking across the quad to the gaudy western-themed mural on the gym wall, and wondered what her future would be like. I never knew her. I don't even remeber her name. It was on the little yellow slip of paper they handed us at the candlelight vigil, but I've lost the paper, and I'll probably never remember her name. But, I'll always know that someone from my school died that day, because some Islam-crazed freaks decided that her and anyone like her (namely Americans) had to die.

Never forget. Never surrender. America can and will prevail.

May God bless America and guide all her actions in the war.

Here's a nice Democratic Underground thread about why young men are often conservative. It has lots of man-bashing and psychological "analysis" of conservatives.

You know, I'm tired of this stuff. There was that study about what makes people conservative (in which they compared Reagan and Limbaugh to Hitler, then claimed that they were objective), and now there's this. And, well before I was even born, a bunch of liberal psychiatrists deemed Barry Goldwater mentally unstable, without ever meeting him or examining him in any serious way. Liberals believe that anyone who disagrees with them is sick or diseased.

I was planning on making up some stuff about what motivates liberals (like, they hate themselves and wish they hadn't been born, and so they support abortion), but my keyboard isn't working. Oh well, anything I made up would be made up anyway, for the simple reason that you can't diagnose a political ideology the way liberals seem intent on doing (of course, because of their worries about their own mental state :)).

Gary Aldrich writes about what's wrong with NASA.

Really, of course, a lot more is wrong with NASA than that. We need to start really trying to colonize space. For a culture to be free, you need an escape. Somewhere to go if your government is oppressing you. There's a treaty that says that no nation can form a colony on another world. Thus, any colonisation plans would have to be coordinated through the UN or a similar body. This of course eliminates all possiblity of ever actually claiming planets.

I say we do away with the treaty. Who needs it? Have a race! Let's see who can claim most of Mars! What space needs is competition. Competition helps everything. We've seen how a lack of competition ruins and corrupts things. We've seen it with education, we've seen it with NASA, and, in an extreme case, we've seen it with the economy of the Soviet Union. Competition almost always allows for the best result at the lowest cost.

Armstrong Williams has an article about how Oberlin high school is requiring that a teacher of black history must be black. This is, of course, insane.

I'm of entirely European descent. If I were to take a class on European history, and find that my teacher was black, asian, or anything else, I'd assume they knew a great deal about European history. I wouldn't be offended. I wouldn't say that this teacher couldn't possibly understand European history because he's not of European descent. Similarly, if I were black, I wouldn't assume that my teacher had to be black to understand black history. To racially discriminate like that is simply wrong, and sends the message that there are in fact irreconcilable differences between ethnicities.

Do liberals read the Constitution? What exactly do they think it says? I heard someone one CNN saying that Chief Justice Moore (you know, the Ten Commandments guy) had violated the Constitution by putting the Commandments in the court house. Last time I checked, Justice Moore was not "Congress" and putting up a stone with the Ten Commandments on it was not "making a law respecting the establishment of religion."

It seems as though the only part of the constitution that liberals respect is the "seperation of church and state." Which, of course, is no where to be found in the Constitution the rest of us read. I don't know, perhaps we have difficulty seeing the "penumbras".......

Apparently, this Sharia court aquited a guy of the rape of a nine year old girl because he's insane. Hmm, it makes me wonder what punishment the girl got for "having sex." Was she stoned to death? Perhaps she just got severely beaten... In a sane country, she'd get every kind of health care (both physical and mental) she needed, and the guy would be executed.

Michelle Malkin has a good article on Cruz Bustamante's ties to MEChA. Now MEChA is the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan. Basically, it wants to give parts of the American Southwest to Mexico. Of course, one thing Californians might want to look for in a governor is "likelyhood to give the state to another country." With Bustamante, it's higher than it should be.

Now, MEChA in general is a scary group. Just this July I was at my university's orientation. I'm going to a medium sized, religiously affiliated (Catholic), and rather respected school. At the orientation, I was shocked at the presence of MEChA propaganda. I went to the MultiCultural center, because I was interested in there perhaps being clubs where you learn about other cultures, perhaps even an Irish club which might go and listen to music (I love Irish music). However, when I talked to the people at the table, they told me about the groups, including MEChA. I decided to play the "dumb kid with no opinion" so I asked them what that meant. He told me, Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan. I told him I don't speak Spanish, which he kind of laughed at and translated, "Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan."

I knew a bit about this groups seperatist views, so I decided to ask him what the group was all about. Now, it's pretty obvious to anyone who looks at me that I'm not really hispanic. He looked at me and said, "It just promotes Mexican culture, ya know?" I thanked him for telling me about it and left. Later on, in the little bar-type place on campus, I saw banners for all the student organizations. Most were quite simple, for instance, CORE Christian Fellowship had an apple core, the Dancing Club had photos of people dancing, etc. But in the middle, and done in the complex style of a mexican mural, was the MEChA banner. It featured a man in the middle of a field whcich curved off behind him. He was wearing a hat and work clothes, and was quite obviously supposed to be Mexican. Above him was an eagle with a stick of dynamite and a machete, just as Michelle Malkin described in her article. In one corner was a map of North America. This map was quite altered. All of the Southwest (and much of the Northwest) was part of Mexico. This enlarged Mexico included Texas, Utah, most of Idaho, all of Oregon, some of Washington, a little of Montana and Wyoming, and of course all of New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and California.

This all disappoints me. There are various groups for different ethnicities (I found out, there is an Irish club), but none of them seem to have the kind of violent revolution in mind that MEChA does. I can see a young person of Mexican descent joining MEChA, believing that it is in fact to "promote Mexican culture" and finding himself in a group that preaches hate and seperatism. Sadly, there is no club for people who might actually want to just enjoy what Mexican culture has to offer. I have nothing against groups that study and enjoy a certain culture. I'd join a group that studied a culture I was interested in. However, if I learned that the Irish club (or whatever) supported giving parts of America to Ireland and the destruction or at least second-class citizenship of non-Irish people, I would have nothing to do with it. I would tell everyone to do the same! If you happen to be a student of Mexican descent who wants a "Mexican club" on campus but doesn't agree with MEChA's hate-filled views, don't join MEChA! Start your own group! If the MEChA people confront you on it, you wouldn't even have to say you opposed MEChA. You could just say it was too political for you, and that your group was just about culture (food and music and such).

It sickens me that this group gets money from university funds, and it sickens me more that we may have a governor soon who supports such a group.

I've been thinking alot lately about the abortion issue. I cannot believe that a people as advanced and civilized as us can practice what amounts to human sacrifice. There's an Irish song I was just listening to, about World War One, called "The Green Fields of France," and some of it's lyrics are appropriate here:

But here in this graveyard that's still no-man's land
The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man
The whole generation was butchered and damned

For the babies who've been murdered, there will be no white crosses on the green fields of France. They don't get graves. They get stored in some plastic buckets in wharehouses of abortion mills. They get discarded in the trash. But they never get a monument. They were helpless when they were killed, they couldn't fight, they had no option. Babies trust their mothers. They never think their mothers will kill them.

Now, I don't know what we can do. It seems that the Supreme Court decided the issue pretty finally. All we can do is wait for a conservative enough court to overturn Roe v. Wade. But we can't surrender. Never let anyone convince you the fight is hopeless. Somehow, the babies of the future will be saved.

2003-08-10T13:16:00.000-07:00

Alright, I've promised it and here it is...talk about my trip to Ireland.

First, the political aspect. If you've read any Irish newspapers or anything, you get the idea that Ireland is very anti-american. However, from what I saw it is not. Almost every hotel had an Irish flag, an American flag, and a European flag. While the European flag is disappointing, it seemed interesting that they should put the flags together like that. Furthermore, when we met with some distant cousins of mine, they had some very interesting things to say. My sister was showing American money to one of our Irish cousins (he called American currency "the Buck") and he asked about the White House. My sister told him about how its the presidents home and such, and he said, "So George Bush lives there?" then expressed his admiration for the president. Later on, we heard that another cousin was very much in support of the war in Iraq, and was quite happy about Uday and Qusay's deaths. I found all of this encouragin. The worst (politically) things I saw in Ireland were a Che Guevera flag on a sandwich stand, and a Palestinian flag in a window of an abandoned building in Dublin.

Now, as far as the trip itself, it was great. We stayed first in Dublin. Now, Dublin is just a city, pretty much like any other. It's got some historic stuff, and a great many statues (which have rhyming names in the slang of Dublin: for instance, the statue of Molly Malone is "The tart with the cart," the statue of Oscar Wilde is "The fag on the crag" and the Millennium Spike is "The stilleto in the ghetto"). The Book of Kells is a great thing to see, but it seems to be surrounded by old German tourists, who hit and push. Dublin Castle is also rather interesting.

After that we went to Knock. Knock is a very strange place. Apparently in the late 1800s, some people saw an apparition of the Virgin Mary. Now there's a huge shrine there, and the whole town exists for the shrine. The little shops along the main road have bizzare mixtures of goods. Mostly religious items, such as holy water bottles, pictures of Christ and of various saints, etc. However, they also carry things of a less sacred nature....it results in a very strange mixture. In the shrine's graveyard, we saw, strangely enough, a grave with the name of my (living) grandfather. We asked him about it, and he didn't know anything about the guy who shared his name.

We visited relatives in Kilkelly, which is near Knock. They invited us for "tea." Now, "tea" to them is probably more than I'd eat in a week. There was all kinds of food, and it was all most excellent. They live on a farm, and we got to see where they cut peat for peat fires (then they burned some to show us) and we got to walk up into the bog and look around. All their family lived on the same farm, in different houses they build. In fact, one was being build just then, at the top of the hill.

We drove to Achill island, which is an interesting place, because it has the castle of the Pirate Queen, Grace O'Malley. It was a very interesting tower, which you could climb into and walk around on. Achill island was a beautiful place. After we left it, we went to Cong, which is where "The Quiet Man" was filmed. It is also where Ashford Castle is. Ashford is the best hotel I've ever stayed at. Better, even, than the Del Coronado in San Diego. Ashford is an 18th century castle, built on the site of a 13th century castle. It's on the shores of Lough Corrib, the second largest lake in Ireland. We walked in the forest there, took cruises on the lough, and listened to Irish music in the Dungeon Bar. It was a most excellent place.

After leaving Ashford we stopped in Lisdoonvarna, which is actually a rather unremarkable little town. It apparently has some kind of matchmaker festival in september, which is why it's so well known. Anyway, it's a nice little place. We stayed at a bed and breakfast there, which was an interesting expirience.

We went for a day to Inis Oirr, one of the Aran islands. It's the smallest, and it's very interesting. There is a saint burried in the graveyard there, and an underground church that he built. On Inis Oirr, almost everyone is named "O'Flaherty" or "Costello." We went into O'Flaherty's pub, which was a very authentic sort of place. It seemed that everyone on the island was there to watch the hurling match (Wexford vs. Antrim) and it was a good place to eat. The owner had a great deal of stuff on the walls, including a gun and some medals from some country (I don't know what they signify).

We then went to Adare, and stayed at Adare Manor. Adare Manor is owned by an American and a former Marine, who we met and talked to for a while. Adare Manor is a castle of sorts, which belonged to the Earls of Dunraven. Adare's Clubhouse restaurant has the best food in Ireland. It's extremely good. It's got some very interesting things, most especially a beautiful ruin of a Franciscan friary. It is beautifully preserved, and you can find the dormatories of the monks and the church, as well as a walled garden and a few towers. It is a fun place, and the most beautiful ruins I saw (there are ruins everywhere in Ireland).

We went to Kilarney next, which is a beautiful place. The national park has a great many lakes and forested areas, and the Ring of Kerry and the Ring of Dingle were beautiful. This was the end of the trip, really, because we went to London a couple days after that (I'll write about London a little later."

So, if you go to Ireland, here's advice. Don't worry too much about the food being horrible. The food isn't bad. In fact, they don't seem to have really Irish-seeming food at most restaurants. I'm sure you could get it some places, but not at hotel restaurants and such. If you're buying candy bars, they have different names there. What they call a Milky Way, we call a Three Muskateers. What they call a Mars Bar, we call a Milky Way. So remember that. Also, if you pick up a Gaelic football jersey from County Mayo, you might not want to wear it in County Kerry. I hear thats a bad thing to do. Also, it's hard to find real Irish music. You go into a pub where they have music, and they're playing John Denver. Seriously. There is no song the Irish love more than "Take me home, country roads." You might have to ask if you want to hear real Irish music. But, on the whole it was a great trip. Ireland is a beautiful place, and the people are extremely nice. It's sad that they saw fit to join the EU, but they really don't seem to fit the regular European stereotypes.

2003-08-05T15:18:00.000-07:00

This is an interesting article from Christina Hoff Sommers about the efforts to feminize boys. In fact, they're worse than most experts imagine. Invariably in elementary schools, teachers favor girls. My third grade teacher once outright stated to the class that girls are better than boys. I was recently talking to a (male) science teacher from eigth grade, and he said "guys are idiots." I believe that the root of this is in fact the feminist complaint that teachers favor boys. New teachers hear that old lie, and work to correct it. A new teacher may think, "I won't favor boys! I'll favor the girls and give them some self-esteem!" This results in schools full of such teachers, and the invariable prefference towards girls and femininity in general. If you look at many of the books targeted at young children, they portray girls as civilized paragons of virtue, and boys as uncivilized, incorrigible barbarians. At least, most of the stories we read in elementary school were like that.

As Sommers points out in her article, boys and girls are simply different. Her example about girls going into the desert and writing journals about their feelings is perfect. I in fact keep a journal, but it never records my feelings. I write about events, actions, how cool it was to climb around in those ruins in County Limerick, etc. I don't know what girl's journals look like, but if T.V. shows have any truth to them, then they are about their feelings and the boys they like. Now, of course men and women can share interests (you know, American history, astronomy, art, etc.) but the more basic interests (feelings, action, etc.) are different. In short, any effort to feminize boys (or, for that matter, masculize girls) will fail.

Hello everyone! I'm actually posting this from the hotel business center in Ireland. Anyway, I don't really have time to write much because there's a guy waiting for the computer, but I thought I'd take this opportunity to let you know my blog is still in existence. Anyway, I'll be posting further in a little over a week, so check back then for more updates.

2003-07-18T22:58:00.000-07:00

Well everyone, tommorrow I'm flying to Ireland. I'm going to be there for two weeks, so I guess you shouldn't expect any posts from me for a while. However, I'll try to post somehow from Ireland, and if I can't, expect some posts from me in two weeks. I'll have information about what I saw in Ireland, and perhaps some interesting stories, so be sure to check back!

2003-07-17T18:51:00.000-07:00

Well, I guess the New York Times is now in the business of bashing Catholics. I wonder a few things. First of all, why the NYT would want to offend such a huge group. Secondly, why do some Catholics (I'm not sure about the exact statistics) still cling to the Democratic party? Liberals make it clear that they hate them. Now, I understand that many Catholics opposed the war, but it seems the democrats do a great many more things in direct contradicion with Catholic doctrine.

Riiight Dean has a huge advantage because he's blogging. As far as I've seen, liberal blogs are pretty hard to come by (of course, I've not been looking to come by them). I'm pretty sure that Dean's blog isn't going to win him any support that he didn't already have.

I especially love this quote from the article

Bloggers -- who run the gamut from political writers such as Andrew Sullivan to tech geeks talking about software code to people who care intensely about ferrets -- think blogs embody 21st-century democracy.

I'm not sure who exactly believes that. As it is, blogs have nothing to do with 21st-century democracy. It's not like we bloggers are the citizens who get to vote on important issues! All blogs are is a way to make what you write availiable, for others to read or more likely ignore.

2003-07-16T22:15:00.000-07:00

These sickos should be executed That's pretty much all I have to say about that.

2003-07-16T22:06:00.000-07:00

Well, the "Recall Gray Davis" petition here in California got enough signatures. I actually never signed it. I voted for Bill Simon, of course, and then when he lost I figured we were stuck with Davis. I do in fact want Gray Davis to not be the governor anymore, but I fear that he might resign before the vote, leaving us with Governor Cruz Bustamonte. This cannot be allowed to happen. Bustamonte is far worse than Davis. I suppose Davis will be recalled, I can just pray that he doesn't first resign.

(BTW, if my understanding of the situation is incorect, please corect me. Especially if there's no way for Bustamonte to take over. That's a horrible thought.)

2003-07-16T21:31:00.000-07:00

Jonah Goldberg has an interesting article about how Jerry Springer seems to be running against him. I must say it's funny because it's true. Springer will most likely win, and it will be in part because of one sentence Jonah Goldberg used on TV. Now, there is the matter of how damaging this will be for the country. Some people just shouldn't have any power, ever. Jerry Springer is one of these.

In fact, I quite agree with Goldberg about voter turnout. Voter turnout is not always a good thing. I remember once I was watching CMT (I like country music) and they were doing this "Love your country: vote!" thing, sort of a sister program to "Rock the Vote." Anyway, this one guy was up there, and he said, "I don't really know about the issues, but I just want to make sure my voice gets heard." Well, if you don't know a thing about something, should your "voice" really matter? I mean, no one thinks my "voice should be heard" in a neurologist's operating room! That's because I don't know. Similarly, people inclined not to vote shouldn't be harrassed, cajoled, or required to vote, because they really don't care. Low voter turnout isn't a problem. The people who choose not to vote do just that: choose not to vote. Whether it's because they don't like any candidate, just don't care, or don't even know when the election is, they simply shouldn't be voting.

This is so disgusting. Apparently, in Missouri, funding for abortion alternative programs is being removed. Now, really I don't see why such programs need to be funded by the government, but so long as abortions are state funded, people who offer alternatives should be state funded.

2003-07-16T21:16:00.000-07:00

Why?! Why would anyone do this? Seriously, messing with human embryos like this is wrong. We simply aren't gods, and don't know what's going to happen with everything we do. To me, creating a, as they say in the link, "She-male" embryo is simply evil.

2003-07-15T22:52:00.000-07:00

Wow, has anyone heard about This? Apparently there's an act to get us out of the UN. I hope it passes. The UN does nothing for us, and we continue to support them. In fact, they try to hinder our goals.

The very idea of the UN is fundementally flawed. It does not represent the will of the world's people. Rather, it represents the will of the world's governments. That's quite a difference. It wouldn't be a problem, if every government were a republic, but they are not. Instead, many nations are ruled by despots and cliques, which do not reflect the needs and desires of their subjects. Such a government has power in the UN, and the UN is thus swayed to support these governments, at least in part. The ambasadors to the UN are simply not democratically elected.

If someone were to create an organization of free nations, with the representatives thereof elected by each nation's people, I would support it. Of course, it shouldn't be supreme over a nation's own sovreignty, but it would be able to facilitate diplomacy and trade between the free nations, and keep them closer to eachother than to tyrannies. This could be a good thing.

2003-07-14T17:00:00.000-07:00

This is so unbelievable, I'd need proof to actually believe it. If it is true, it is horrible. Forced abortion is one of the sickest, most depraved, and most evil things I can think of. Any group that performs them or funds them is worthy of condemnation. I don't care what else they do! No good is good enough that we should tolerate forced abortions.

2003-07-09T11:22:00.000-07:00

Interesting, isn't it how when Reagan and Bush were in office there was a "homeless problem." During Clinton's two terms it magically disappeared! Now that W. Bush is in office, it's back! Amazing, isn't it?!?!

2003-07-09T11:16:00.000-07:00

This is good. Pro-life women are in the majority. I do wonder what the statistic is for men. This statistic is very encouraging. Abortion in fact hurts women as well as their children. It hurts women psychologically and even physically. Ending abortion (except in extreme cases) would in fact help women.

The abortion industry is not in business to help women. In fact, they exploit the women who get abortions. They don't care about her or her life or any of the traumas that the abortion will put her through. They care about getting the next one in to do more abortions and make more money. It is good that most women oppose abortion. They realize what it does to women.

Go over and look at Frank J.'s site! It's his blog aniversary, and you need to help him celebrate!

2003-07-06T12:37:00.000-07:00

Trevalyan has a sad story up right now. It's about some girl he met who's addicted to drugs. The fact that drugs are so addictive is in fact a good reason not to legalize them. Now, I know it's hypocritical for alcohol to be legal but other drugs not, but there's a difference. I actually don't support the use of alcohol, but I understand that it is a part of out culture. Other drugs are not, as of now, a major part of our culture. Legalizing them would effectively make them part of our culture. The "drug war" may not be working properly, but it is not fundementally a bad idea.

2003-06-26T22:06:00.000-07:00

Well, Strom Thurmond has passed away. He was an amazing person. He thought some crazy stuff in the past, but seemed to give that up later on. Well, he lived quite a long life.

2003-06-26T22:01:00.000-07:00

This sicko should be getting the death penalty. This is such a disgusting case. It truly sounds like something from a horror movie. People who do things like this have given up their right to live. She should be executed. Unfortunately, she's only getting life and ten years. Hopefully she won't find a way to get out of it.

2003-05-27T23:20:00.000-07:00

Vist Right Wing News to help me win a contest!

2003-05-25T15:00:00.000-07:00

Well, there's a vote about partial birth abortion. It had better be banned. There is no excuse for it. Partial birth abortion is pure evil, an act of murder and infanticide.

2003-05-25T14:56:00.000-07:00

Well, this is sufficiently ill. Apparently 25 percent of Americans believe in equal rights for animals. Do they understand what that would mean? Seriously, do they? They want animals voting, carrying guns, and getting fair trials for their crimes? Imagine it. Animals committ crimes against other animals all the time. Will the victims have the right to justice? If a wolf kills a deer, does the wolf get the death penalty? Then how are carnivorous animals supposed to survive? Amazingly, while 25 percent believe in equal rights for animals, only four percent are vegetarians (and 37 percent of those have eaten red meat in the last 24 hours). So are people who eat meat cannibals? Do those 25 percent feel it's always wrong to eat meat, and yet many of them eat it?

2003-05-25T14:41:00.000-07:00

The world's largest flower bloomed in Germany. Apparently it's quite foul smelling. Didn't this happen on the Simpsons one time?

2003-05-25T14:33:00.000-07:00

This is disgusting. Apparently some people in the Congo have decided that eating pygmy flesh gives them magic powers. Thus, they are hunting pygmies in the forests and eating them, as though they are animals. This is absolutely sick.

2003-05-25T14:25:00.000-07:00

The New York Times has an article about young conservatives. Unfortunately, registration is required, but I do suggest you read the article. Now, I love the condescending language in it. It has some good information, but it just can't avoid being as sarcastic and cruel about these people's beliefs as it can. I think it makes a mistake to say that young conservatives do in fat believe in political correctness. That isn't true. Some of us may be politically correct in order to seem "respectable" by liberals, but I don't know of any conservative who actually believes the concept of it.

2003-05-25T14:18:00.000-07:00

Pictures of Earth from Mars. These pictures are amazing. The first pictures showing what Earth looks like from another planet. I've wondered for a long time how Earth would look from Mars, actually. I imagined it as a sort of blue and green Venus. It's probably quite bright, seeing as Mars is quite close to Earth.

2003-05-16T11:22:00.000-07:00

A href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1101030512-449501,00.html">Apparently, men die younger than women because they live riskier lives. This, to me, is encouraging news. I don't smoke or drink or drive in hurricanes, so it seems I should be okay. I always hated that statistic that women live longer. It was depressing...thinking of the unfairness that some people get six more years than others (on average).

2003-05-15T01:00:00.000-07:00

I'm sorry if I haven't been posting as much as I should lately. I have had A.P. tests, finals, and I've set up a new computer, all of which have taken time out from my posting. I'll probably be able to post with more frequency soon.

2003-05-13T01:54:00.000-07:00

Interesting article about the difference between conservatives and libertarians. I must say I'm much more of a conservative. Not many bloggers are social conservatives like I am. In fact, the conservative blogosphere is really rather libertarian.

Interestingly, the other students at my school call libertarianism "extreme right wing." I tried to explain that one can be a right-libertarian or a left-libertarian, but the thought of a left-libertarian was too strange to them.

2003-05-13T00:17:00.000-07:00

This is wrong. This guy was defending himself. Perhaps he shouldn't have killed these burglars, but they shouldn't have been in his house. It's their problem if someone shoots them.

2003-05-06T01:44:00.000-07:00

Sometimes, I think liberals are just out to destroy all that is good. Why do they always support things like this? Is it that they can't stand it when things are normal and decent, and they have to make things bad? Why is it that they must destroy things as they are and replace them with their perverted sense of right and wrong?

2003-05-06T01:03:00.000-07:00

Jonah Goldeberg has an article also at National Review, regarding Bill Bennetts gambling. I really don't understand why this is significant. Bennett didn't lie, break the law, or even committ hypocrisy. All he did was gamble. Now, I oppose gambling when it is taken too far, but really, if Bill Bennett gambles, it doesn't matter at all.

2003-05-06T00:31:00.000-07:00

Michael Novak has his commencement address for Ave Maria College up on National Review Online. It's rather interesting, especially the final point, which is that God created the universe and that knowledge of various subjects can lead to knowledge of God. I'm going to be going to a Catholic university this september, so I suppose I'll see if the education at such places is really as good as the article implies it to be.

2003-05-04T18:44:00.000-07:00

New Hampshire's Old Man on the Mountain fell down. That's too bad. It's sad when a thing that people hold as such a symbol falls down or is somehow destroyed.

2003-05-03T19:25:00.000-07:00

Jame's Lileks ,Bleat this last Friday has a lot of interesting things to say. Make sure to check it out. There's one part where he talks about USA Interactive Chairman Barry Diller, who said, among many other things, "You can't have a more genuinely pure, liberal program .... than 'The Simpsons.'" How is it, exactly that "The Simpsons" is purely liberal? I know that liberals think that, but I've never understood why. I don't believe it to be conservative, but I do think that it's fair. Often, it seems to make fun of a liberal view of the world. For instance, when the Republican Party is seen meeting in Count Dracula's castle, and they decide on things, like to start poluting more, this mocks the liberals view of what conservatives want more than it mocks conservatives. Also, there were many great insults directed at Bill Clinton. For instance, "Marge:'That's a pretty lousy lesson.' Clinton:'Well ah'm a pretty lousy president.'" I think that "The Simpsons" isn't a liberal show so much as a satire of everything.

2003-05-01T15:13:00.000-07:00

This is sick. A Georgia high school has private (non school sponsored) proms, and the parents who run them have decided to hold and all-white prom and an integrated prom. How can this be? It seems so.....archaic. It almost seems like something that wouldn't happen today. This is simply disgusting. I suppose that as a private group they may discriminate if they wish, but there's no reason why they should and it's frankly disgusting that they would.

2003-05-01T00:29:00.000-07:00

Concerned Women for America has an article up about prom night and such. Now, perhaps I shouldn't write about the prom seeing as I'm not going to mine (I meant to ask this girl, but then I didn't see her until it was too late) but I have to say I'm dismayed and disappointed by this article. I find it sad, the conduct at school dances. There's no respect. Everything is sexualized. It doesn't have to be that way, but it is. The music, the dancing, the dress, the attitudes, everything is sexual. I've never understood why this has to be. Now, people have said that the sexual revolution was bad for women but good for men, but I don't believe that. The sexual revolution was bad for everyone. It turns everyone into a sex object, with no regard for actual people. It seems to me we would be better off without the pervasive belief that unmarried sex is not just acceptable but good and normal.

2003-05-01T00:18:00.000-07:00

This is an interesting article about hispanic parents wanting their children to be immersed in English-language schools. It makes sense. English is the language of the United States, and it only makes sense to learn it (personally I preffer the sounds of the Celtic languages, but thats another issue). Without an understanding of English, there are few high-level careers availiable for you. Also, an understanding of English allows for more interaction between Americans, which would provide more national unity.

2003-05-01T00:10:00.000-07:00

More Townhall for you today this time from Marvin Olasky, about schools. He makes some good points. Fifty-five percent does seem a bit low to pass third-graders. I don't want to criticize it too much, because fifty-five percent is a passing grade in my A.P. Physics class, but then third grade basics are harldly college-level physics. I do believe in vouchers, because I think competition would be good for schools. I think that if parents had the choice of sending their children elsewhere, public schools would make quite an effort to be really, really good, which would improve education for both the students who left the public school and those who remained in it.

2003-05-01T00:00:00.000-07:00

Suzanne Fields has an article on Townhall as well. It's about the neoconservatives; who they are, why they are so called, and the connection between Neocons and Jews in the minds of so many liberals. Personally, I don't like the term neocon. It has a bad, menacing sound to it. "Con" sounds like a con-man or a convict, and neo is usually heard in terms like "neo-nazi" and "neo-fascist." Thus, neocon sounds quite evil. Interestingly, the liberals seem increasingly obsessed with Jewish conspiracies and things of the sort. It seems strange. The liberals claim to be tolerant, but they seem quite suspicious of Jews.

2003-04-30T23:44:00.000-07:00

Ann Coulter has a good article about the liberal positions on looting, adultery, and other such things. She makes some rather good points. The liberals do seem hypocritical to make such a big deal of Santorum's remarks. In fact, Santorum didn't say anything wrong. Obviously, a constitutional "right to privacy" would include just about anything done in one's own home. Santorum simply never made a comparison between these activities, he just made a "slipery slope" style argument.

2003-04-29T17:32:00.000-07:00

Today in my government class, the teacher read us all these "revised Miranda rights" that his nephews, both police officers, wrote. Supposedly, this is what officers would rather read to suspects. Here they are. Those offended by profanity may wish not to read them:

You have the right to swing first; however, if you choose to swing first, any move you make can and will be used as an excuse to beat the sh*t out of you. You have the right to call a doctor and/or priest. If for some reason you are unable to talk or call anyone, an undertaker will be appointed for you. If you choose to run, a .38 caliber vasectomy will be performed upon you immediately. Do you understand what I just said to you, as*hole?

It's great.

2003-04-29T01:57:00.000-07:00

It's nice to know that the majority opposes racial prefferences in college admissions. Being a high school senior, this is an issue which bothers me greatly. Why should I (as a caucasian male) be discriminated against? One argument may be that diversity helps a college, but truly, it doesn't make a difference. What matters is each individual person. I'd rather go to a college where everyone is a decent good person, even if they are all one race (even if that race isn't the one I belong to) than I would to go to a college with a diverse population of people who aren't good. Another argument may be to make up for past discrimination, but this argument does not work. I never discriminated against anyone, so the fact that white people have been racist shouldn't be held against me.

2003-04-29T01:45:00.000-07:00

Okay, there's some problem with that link. You can just copy-paste it if you want to see it. I don't know what went wrong with it.

2003-04-29T01:41:00.000-07:00

A link which does not work tells me that a man named Lemrick Nelson was involved in the killing of a man named Yankel Rosenbaum. Nelson has previously denied stabbing Rosenbaum, but is now defending himself by saying that he was motivated by drugs, not by the fact that Rosenbaum was Jewish. Now, aside from the fact that this is unlikely (Nelson said " The excitement was when that mob called out, `There's a Jew, let's get the Jew,' It was the excitement of getting the Jew."), it doesn't matter. Will Rosenbaum come back from the dead because Nelson didn't stab him due to his being Jewish? If I were attacked, I wouldn't care if it was because I'm white, or because I'm a conservative, or because someone wants to steal my car. I would just want justice. Rosenbaum is just as dead, and Nelson's motives can't change that.

2003-04-29T01:31:00.000-07:00

This makes me mad. Read this quote. " Losing a big chunk of humanity's ancient heritage in return for removing a 65-year-old dictator and saving some oil documents qualifies the war as a failure." How dare he say this? Are the people who have suffered and died because of the Iraqi regime not worth a few artifacts? I'm really into archaeology (I subscribe to both Archaeology and Archeaology Odyssey, and moderate what I think is the internet's only archeoastronomy forum at Orbital 9) but I think that afew artifacts in a museum are worth less than the freedom of an entire people. Seriously, if you could choose between your family being drug off or an ancient shield being taken from your local museum, would you even think before saving your family?

2003-04-29T01:24:00.000-07:00

Wow. Howard Dean says we won't always have the strongest military in the world. Now tell me, please, if any of the Democratic candidates stand a chance agaisnt Bush. Certainly not Dean, not Kerry, not Sharpton. Who among the Democrats stands a chance? I am getting very optimistic about '04.

2003-04-29T01:14:00.000-07:00

Dennis Prager has an excellent article about heterosexuality and homosexuality. I quite agree with him on most of his points. Personally I believe that homosexuality is psychological, but as a heterosexual I really can't say that I know. I think homosexual behaviour is wrong, but I don't hate gays or consider them somehow less human. So, read the article above.

2003-04-28T23:06:00.000-07:00

Do not read this article if you can't stand to hear things that are disgusting and shocking. If you can stand such things, read this article. It speaks of the tortures that Saddam Hussein used on the people of Iraq. Read this, and then see if you can truthfully say this war was wrong. Read this and realize the greatness and goodness of America for freeing people from this evil.

2003-04-28T22:52:00.000-07:00

Diana West has a good article at Townhall about the need for Americans to realize how great America is. Sadly enough, too many people take the privileges being an American gets them for granted. They believe everyone lives like Americans do. They simply don't see that in many countries, people have no rights, and live in abject poverty.

2003-04-28T22:43:00.000-07:00

Jay Nordlinger's Impromptus are good yet again today. Really, I shouldn't link to these, because everyone should look at them without being told to do so.

2003-04-28T22:30:00.000-07:00

Jonah Goldberg on NRO has some interesting things to say about the Dixie Chicks, Santorum, and other matters of free speech. He's quite right. Free speech, of course, does not protect one from the consequences. If I started babbling on and on about things, I would expect no one to pay attention to me. So should people who say contreversial things expect to be criticized, and perhaps to lose money.

2003-04-27T19:49:00.000-07:00

Okay, as for the fisking of the checklist, it has come to my attention that people really don't know what this checklist is. Well, neither do I, completely. It is a list I found at D.U., and which is supposed to demonstrate that whites and males have certain privileges which women and minorities do not have.

2003-04-27T19:16:00.000-07:00

Some republicans at UC Berkeley seem to have had a little protest in Peoples' Park. Well, I'm glad to see the students there are not all insane. I'm not going to be going anywhere as presitious (or as liberal) as Berkeley, but I'm hoping to start somewhat of a conservative movement at Santa Clara University, which is in the Bay Area as well (though further south). This gives me encouragement. Thank you to BryanFrbs from the Loyal Citizens chatroom on Emperor Misha's site.

2003-04-27T18:57:00.000-07:00

Here is the "Checklist of White Privilege:Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack" and my fisking of it:

I can if I wish arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time.

It would depend on how diverse one's area is. Of couse, in America whites are indeed a majority, so to say that whites can arrange to be with people of their race is not evidence of any sort of preferences.

If I should need to move, I can be pretty sure renting or purchasing housing in an area which I can afford and in which I would want to live.

Maybe. It would depend upon how rich one is. Many people of all races live in bad areas where they'd rather not live.

I can be pretty sure that my neighbors in such a location will be neutral or pleasant to me.

This is not the case. Many times, a person, regardless of ethnicity, will be disliked by their neighbors. There's no reason to assume that one's neighbors will be pleasant because one is white.

I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed.

Actually, a white person may very well be harrassed on the basis of how he looks, talks, or acts. I suspect that a store manager is more likely to follow a very suspicious-looking, dirty, long-haired homeless-type white guy than a normal-looking black guy.

I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented.

Yes, this is true. However, it is also true for other races. On television there are people of many different ethnicities widely represented, and if there are more white people, it isn't so much because of intitutionalized racism as it is because there are simply more white people in America than other races.

Okay, there you go. That's the first five. Five more tomarrow.

2003-04-27T18:08:00.000-07:00

Okay, everyone! I have an idea. A while ago, on ConservativeX, I fisked this checklist of white privilege and checklist of male privilege that I found on the Democratic Underground. Every day, I'll post five of the points they made and an updated, revised, and improved version of the fisking they recieved.

2003-04-27T14:42:00.000-07:00

Okay, everyone, I just got a comments section up. The script is from the Klink Family who seem to me to be liberals, but I have to thank them for providing the script for free. So, leave comments, give me feedback, respond to stuff I say, etc. Just click the little link that says "Shout Out!".

2003-04-27T13:44:00.000-07:00

Apparently, some soap opera is going to have a homosexual relationship. So what. I don't believe anyone watches these shows, and I certainly don't think that seeing this will make anyone more accepting of homosexuality than they were before. However, I don't think television shows should portray such relationships as right and proper. It's their right to do so, but I think they shouldn't.

2003-04-27T13:25:00.000-07:00

David Limbaugh has an article about Santorum's remarks. I quite agree that Santorum was not equating homosexuality with incest or polygamy. All he was doing was saying that a constitutional right to privacy would include such things. People are making too big a deal out of this.

2003-04-26T17:52:00.000-07:00

Looks like Tariq Aziz asked for asylum in Britain and a new identity. Thankfully, the British said no.
Why would anyone give Tariq Aziz asylum anyway? The thought of someone so evil living in your country is just so sick. I don't know why he even asked. He must of known there was no chance.

2003-04-26T01:16:00.000-07:00

Hey, OneStat is telling me I'm getting page views not just from the United States, but from other countries as well. For instance, Estonia, Russia, France, Taiwan, The United Kingdom, and Canada. Well, welcome to my site, people-from-other-countries, and I hope you enjoy it!

2003-04-25T18:59:00.000-07:00

This is an amazingly biased article. It's a shame they're making such a big deal about Santorums remarks. Like Jonah Goldberg pointed out (scroll down a little), Santorum isn't comparing gays to these other groups, he's simply making a slipery slope argument.

2003-04-25T18:51:00.000-07:00

Bush's poll numbers in New York are above Hillary Clinton's. Good. I especially like the line "the state's own Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton." 'Cause she's a New Yorker.....yeah......I remember now.....I had completely forgotten that little fact.

2003-04-25T18:44:00.000-07:00

The prosecutors in the Moussaoui case are looking at a "fifth plane" theory, in which Moussaoui was meaning to crash a plane into the White House. It's an interesting theory.

2003-04-25T18:28:00.000-07:00

Interesting article here about embryo adoption.

Let me state one of my beliefs quite clearly here. I am against abortion. A fetus is a person. An embryo is a person. Anyone who can't see that is obviously missing something about the facts. A human being comes into existance when a sperm and an egg join. Not a lump of cells, but a human being. Therefore, I support such things as embryo adoption.

2003-04-25T18:19:00.000-07:00

This is an interesting article about discrimination against Christian groups at schools. Lot's of high schools (mine included) actually forbid the use of the term "Easter" in public. It's that kind of insanity that marginalizes the left.

2003-04-25T18:11:00.000-07:00

Gary Aldrich has something interesting on Townhall as well. It's a good article about Take Your Daughters to Work Day, and his proposal for Teach Your Daughters to Shoot Day.

Just a side note, he mentions the feminist plan to "train boys into girls." Yes, perhaps feminists try this, but it never works. No little boy is going to act like a little girl because the teacher says so.

2003-04-25T18:06:00.000-07:00

Jonah Goldberg has a good article on the difference between a thing being legal and a thing being constitutional. He makes good points about Santorum's remarks, which I think need to be looked at more closely before any serious judgements are passed against him.

2003-04-25T17:59:00.000-07:00

A judge has ruled that Harry Potter books should be on the regular shelves of a school library. Good. Personally, I don't see the big problem with Harry Potter. I mean, far more depraved and evil books are sitting right there in the open in any school library. The Harry Potter books aren't even that bad. I think the main problem was the authors use of the term "witch." But really, the powers these witches and wizards have is no different from the powers the Jedi have in Star Wars or any number of fictional characters have.

This isn't really a surprise Families benefit from marriage. It's so logical, but it has been questioned quite a bit. Well, these are some good points.

Jay Nordlinger's Impromptus are always worth looking at. I especially like this letter he got (with apologies to Mr. Nordlinger for taking it):

"Dear Jay: About the 'living Constitution': I heard Justice Thomas speak several years ago at the Economics Club of Indianapolis. During the Q&A, the justice was asked to respond to Al Gore's assertion that the Constitution is a living, breathing document. Thomas then retrieved from his breast pocket a copy of the Constitution to which he had referred during his prepared remarks, looked it over, leaned forward to the microphone, and said, 'My copy is inanimate.' After a short pause, he leaned forward again and said, 'Next question, please."

That's hilarious.

Well, they've got Tariq Aziz. That's a good thing. He can most likely provide a great deal of information, if he is at all cooperative.

Andrew Suttaford has a good article on TV Turnoff week. Just another attempt to control our lives. TV is not a bad or good thing..... anything can be on TV, and the important thing is to only watch what's good....I think it's better to spend three hourse watching discovery Civilization than to spend those hours reading Mein Kampf.

Pro-infanticide people are looking to get the double murder charges dropped in the Peterson case. That's absolutely disgusting.

Happy Easter to anyone reading this!

They're back! Buiochas le Dia! They were having a celebration on FNC and CNN earlier.

This article is interesting. I like the part about them all getting Irish names.

This PETA sicko wants to be barbequed, turned into a purse, and have her eyes sent to the EPA. Really, that's mentally ill. There's no political statement worth this kind of disgusting behavior.

What a surprise! Telling kids it's okay to have sex hasn't decreased teen pregnancy! How could that be?

David Limbaugh thinks that Bush is going to win in '04. I wish I had his optimism about it. I think that Bush could win, but it's remember, last time Bush won, we only barely stopped the Democrats from stealing it.

Then again, if the Democrats run Sharpton, there's nothing to worry about.....

By the way, I'm thinking of turning this into a kind of "theme blog" about educational brainwashing and such. I'm in high school right now, and going to college next year, so I might have some interesting things to say on that topic. Email me if you like (or don't like) that idea.

David Horowitz has a good article about academic bias in universities' humanities departments. It's sad, how teachers and proffesors try to brainwash students, but it actually looks like students are waking up to it.

Here's a story about violent reactions to anti-infanticide protests at UMass Amherst. Imagine, for a moment, if someone did this to the anti-war people's displays. The media would be all over it.

Michelle Malkin has an article about preschool kids being indoctrinated. This is just sick.

2003-04-17T23:48:00.000-07:00

Wait, sometimes it's bad, sometimes it's not. Interesting.....

Ignore that banner up there. For some reason, they put a Democrat ad on my blog. Jerks. This vexes me to no end. I may just have to pay for the better version so that I won't have to see that ad.
