“I hate war, it’s terrible beyond imagination. I’m running for President to keep American from war … to build the foundation for a stable and enduring peace.” Excellent line. I was emailing Narv about this same concept RE: Russia last weekend. Best substantive line regarding why he is prepared to be POTUS.

And Bill loves having Liberals on. This would be Part in the Second. O’Reilly, who got his first Big Break on the tabloid show “Inside Edition,” no doubt resents the fact that the Media Elite look down their noses at him – this is why he constantly hypes the popularity of “The Factor.” Conservatives – recognizing the Moderation of Fox News – latched onto it, and O’Reilly was its first star. Yet, now that Fox News has itself become a breeding ground for not only Liberals and out of work Moderates, but Liberals shunned by CNN and MSNBC for straying even slightly from the Dogma, O’Reilly is pleading to be part off the MSM. I don’t know if he’ll ultimately cross that line, but it’s been patently obvious for some time that he wants to be part of the club.

Any woman, regardless of politics, should be galled by the treatment of this woman and – more importantly – her family. I speak of this not as a Conservative, I speak of this as a human. The bile that is being spewed is so nasty, so unfair, so imbalanced (see US Weekly, who I ordered my mom to cancel – I’ll get a scrip to Star). Women of all political stripes – and Ferraro and Esterich are not closet Conservatives – are starting to speak out. If you want evidence of sexism, forget equal pay – look at Gov. Palin’s treatment by the media.

It’s fun and, yes, infuriating, to watch the Left squirm. The Vagina Warriors are taking their shots, obviously – I’ve heard a few Liberal women speak up (the goddess Camille among them) but seriously, so very, very sad: can’t be a woman and a Conservative? We’ll see about that.

The complete misunderstanding of this tradition is that all seriously Christian parents will ostracize their children if it turns out they’re having sex. The fact is that in the Christian tradition, the family is the cornerstone of society. Moderate and Conservative Christians are, for example, opposed to same-sex marriage because they see it is an undermining of the family, and they believe that if the family is undermined, civilization will collapse. You can agree with them or not, but it’s not just a matter of “Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve” bumper stickers. There are Christians who hate homosexuals (they are, to be a clear, a small minority), but the opposition – by and large – is not about bigotry, it is about the continued health and well-being of a nuclear family’s importance to society.

“Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing." –Thomas Edison

Unsure how much you know about Labor Day, but it was conceived by the Labor movement of the 19^th Century to give working Americans a day off. As I rarely support anything having to do with organized Labor or Collective Bargaining, in this case I can make an exception. Happy Labor Day everyone, and finally – with the Olympics over, the course of the POTUS election starting to set – I am ready for Thursday, Sept. 4, the second-most holy day on my calendar after the Super Bowl: you got it, NFL kickoff is less than 72 hours away.

America rocks.

Palin appears to be a True Believer, a Conservative of the highest order. Because of this, she has electrified the Conservative base in a manner that has not happened in 24 years, when Ronald Reagan won his landslide against Mondale-Ferarro. Like nomads crawling through the desert, desperate for water, we finally found our oasis, and it is Palin and other post-Reagan Conservatives who are not ashamed to admit their beliefs about abortion, about guns, about property, about energy, about taxes, about entitlement, about corruption, about being proud of our military and, more importantly, why they fight and for what they are fighting.
