Ladies and gentlemen, this is your friendly, neighborhood reminder that it is that time of the month again, and Thomas and I are proud to unveil our brand new column at Common Conservative, and our first as staff writers for Mr. Lindaman. It is now guaranteed that we will be there on the 1st and 16th of every month imparting our sometimes quirky but always serious opinions on a particular subject, or subjects.
This new column marks a departure from the normal routine. As Mr. Lindaman reminded his readers in an e-mail about two weeks ago, we have been a mainstay there, known for our Passing Thoughts In Life's Rearview Mirror columns where we recount the months biggest stories. This column today--making the case for Rudy Giuliani--was important enough for us right now that we decided to move our traditional column aside. And just to satisfy David Kirkpatrick, no we weren't paid to write this piece.
But despite some minor self-promotion about our piece, there are others equally matched to us. Mr. Lindaman tries to explain the current Congress, and helps readers to understand what has happened to the body, in general. (That does come with his trademark wit and sarcasm at no extra charge.)
Vincent Fiore brings up the ghost of years past in reopening the discussion on the Strategic Defense Inititive, this time minus the usual list of "Sith Lords."
Global warming and climate change are the focus of Patrick Shanahan's fine piece, and no, to the chagrin of Hollywood, the answer to the issue is no The Goracle."
We welcome newbie staff writer Larry Simoneaux to the Common Conservative fold, and his piece on "improvements" in recent years seems to have a fitting place in history. After all, will we return to the same old, same old in 2008 as the candidates proclaim themselves "improved" from previous elections?
William Calhoun takes a different, much shorter stance in opposition to Rudy compared to our own piece. We are not saying Rudy is THE one, but he is definitively the R-O-L-A-I-D-S the nation needs to prevent a Hillary presidency.
Border Patrol agents doing their jobs, and suddenly becoming the bad guys in the eyes of DHS and ICE is the focus of Sher Zieve's superb piece.
Thomas Ledford,/li> dicusses a few inconvenient truths regarding the hype of global warming. (And again, "The Goracle" is not the answer.)
Nobel Peace Prizes are vexing Doug Patton as he ponders why "The Goracle" is even being considered. (C'mon folks, it's not like he pulled a Carter and slammed hi own nation to win one. for Gore, there should be some pre-qualifiers for this award.)
Erik Rush talks about freedom of speech and what that means to the Left. Just a clue, I do not think it means what they think it means. We get to pipe up, as well. This is not just a one-way street.
And, Christopher Adamo closes out this issue with a little reminder regarding the hypocrisy and deceit of the Left. It is definitely a party that tells the nation "Do as we say and not as we do," rather than giving us the same freedom they claim their station in life grants them.
As always, this post will remain at the top of the page for the next 24 hours. Updates (and there will be some as tomorrow is our day off together and we REGULARLY co-blog throughout the day) will be below this post. Please, go an enjoy the fine minds at Common Conservative, and welcome the two neewest additions to Mr. Lindaman's staff.
Thomas & Marcie
