At least for today, we don’t have to worry about whether Mitt Romney will come out swinging
Bookworm on Aug 10 2012 | Filed under: Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, Presidential elections
Tweet The most recent ad from the Romney campaign reminds us that, during the primary, Romney was willing to fight. This is a fighting ad: I have no idea whether this ad gets viewed only by those of us who have already made up our minds in Romney’s favor, or if Romney has the funds [...]
Allen West: The politician who won’t pander
Bookworm on May 22 2012 | Filed under: Muslim violence
Tweet Most politicians would have pandered in response to the question a CAIR person posed in the video below. Not Allen West. As he said, near the end of his own answer to the question, “I’ve been on the battlefield….” Maybe we ought to make battlefield experience a prerequisite for honest politicians. It seems that [...]

Tweet I’ve been corresponding with a group of conservatives who are very strongly divided between Romney and Gingrich. I’m pleased to say that, while the debate is substantively heated, it also never veers away from common decency and civility. My latest contribution to the email string, right after mention of a brokered convention, was as [...]

Danny Lemieux on Jan 09 2012 | Filed under: Chris Christie, Conservative ideology, Presidential elections, Sarah Palin
Tweet There is a quality to real leaders called a “command presence”.

That command presence is a necessary mark of a good leader. [...]

Tweet I believe I’ve mentioned on several occasions here that the more I hear from Allen West, the more I like him. Is he ready to be President? Is there time for him to step into the fray? Allen West (Photo by Gage Skidmore) I don’t know the answer to those questions, but I do [...]

Lt. Col. Allen West — a real choice in Florida
Bookworm on Aug 03 2010 | Filed under: Congress, Elections
Tweet Every two years, like clockwork, Marinites return the execrable Lynn Woolsey to Congress. She’s so bad — by which I mean such a loopy Leftist — that I didn’t vote for her even when I was a Democrat. I was a moderate; she was, and is, a nut case. But still she wins, regularly [...]

Bookworm on Dec 22 2009 | Filed under: Congress
Tweet I know many of you enjoyed the video I uploaded of a speech by Col. Allen West (ret.). Andrea Shea King is having him on her radio show tonight: Tonight we’ll talk with Col.

When it comes to education, liberals continue to be invested in affirmative action *UPDATED*
Bookworm on Dec 03 2009 | Filed under: African-Americans, Barack Obama, Education, Race
Tweet When I was a very little girl, back in the hard drinking 1960s, an expression I frequently heard was that someone or something needed a bit of “the hair of the dog that bit you.” I used to think that actually meant people would consume dog hair to cure their ills. It was only [...]
