Jim Bunning: Wrong Even When He’s Right

I’m not a fan of Kentucky Senator Jim Bunning. He’s a pompous, obnoxious, mean, angry, self-serving blowhard of questionable mental stability who has made zero impact during his six terms in the House and two terms in the Senate. He offends and embarrasses the Senate and even his own party turned against him when it [...]

Scott Brown and the conservatives

Hasn’t this past week or so been a wild and woolly ride in the world of politics? I mean, we had all kinds of excitement, including a Republican win in the mostly liberal state of Massachusetts. Who would have thought Scott Brown could have ever pulled off his victory, but we have proof, as he [...]

Mike Huckabee, Maurice Clemmons, and Wayne DuMond

It was a terrible tragedy that happened Sunday, with four police officers being shot and killed by Maurice Clemmons in the Seattle, Washington suburb of Lakewood. We can all offer our condolences and prayers, but there is really nothing that can be said or done to take away the pain of something like this happening. [...]

How real is global warming?

One of the most contentious debates in our time is the debate over global warming and it’s supposed causes. It seems that most of the far left liberals in the world all want to blame human beings (that’s you and me) for global warming. So far, they have done a pretty good job of doing [...]

For and against “Hillary: The Movie”

As most of you know by now, My Take has added a second contributor. It is a decision I didn’t dream of making when I started blogging. Even though Mike and I disagree on some of the issues, I have not regretted that decision. For his first article, Mike chose to write about the “Hillary: [...]

Mike Huckabee in Israel

As it has been all over the news the last few days, I would suppose most of you know that Mike Huckabee has been in Israel, making this the 11th trip he has taken to that country. Some have made light of his trip and of his announcement that he would be going, saying he [...]

HuckPAC comes in 3rd in fundraising

According to a press release from Mike Huckabee, his political action committee HuckPAC has raised just over $300,000 during the first six months of 2009. The email I received from them did a fairly good job at putting a good light on these somewhat low numbers. Their financial goal for 2009 was to raise $750,000, [...]

Holding our noses over David Vitter

Is it too much to expect, if we simply ask those who claim to have conservative values and standards to be living up to the values and standards they have preached to others? I think not and it bothers me when I see a United States Senate race shaping up like the one in Louisiana. [...]

Making conservatism look bad

I learned this lesson long ago. There is nothing most people hate worse than a hypocrite. For someone to espouse a particular belief, point of view, philosophy, etc. and then for it to be discovered that they were secretly going against that belief all along is the ultimate insult and a real slap in the face of the people who believed in what they were saying or doing. It certainly does the causes they have been fighting for no good and I would contend that conservatism is in that same boat.

Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney – Looking forward to 2012

Some may say this post is about two or three years early and they may very well be right, but this is something that has been on my mind for some time and I suppose now is as good a time as any to put pen to paper, so to speak. Yes, I understand it is only 2009 and Barack Obama has only been in office for about four months, but we will have a chance to vote him out of office in 2012 and the campaign will start earlier than that.
