It's Our Flag Too
I know… I’m getting really bad at writing in this, but I just wanted to share this article I finished reading.
While I don’t agree with everything the author says, I do think she has a good point. Its interesting how the flag has become a winner-take-all symbol. I don’t know about you, but I do associate the flag with the president, and the note about wearing a flag in Europe, that rings very...

A Few Liberal Things
I found this movie earlier today. Its the story of what happened with the CIA leak (granted, from a liberal standpoint). Check it out. Its nice to step back and take a look at the bigger picture.
I found a website for Take Back Georgetown Day. They cite a study that says that something like 79% of college professors say they are liberal. I tend to agree with that study, but I have a problem with...

Sunday Night Notes
Its been another few days since I’ve writen.. I know, I’m really bad about updating this, but there were a couple things that really inspired me to update today, and I hope you can live with my liberal ranting for a few minutes.

Jeez
Today I was talking with my friend Grant (who is very conservative…. yes, I have conservative friends). We were discussing the war in Iraq, and I posed a question for him, one that I think is a good benchmark for whether a war should happen. I asked him (and I know there’s a lot of if’s in this question, but think about it): If you think a war is necessary, and if you had a son or daughter in the...

Happy One Year Anniversary, America
Well, one year ago today, America elected Bush to a second term. Think Progress has posted a year in review. Yeah, it pretty much does list everything that either went wrong or was controversial with this administration, but, for all you conservatives out there, what has gone well in the past year?
One part that really killed me, something I had almost completely forgotten about was this:

Things are Starting to Explode
Oh man.. what I’ve missed while I’ve been in class. At 1:25, Harry Reid moved to close the Senate Session, and Dick Durbin (the pride of Illinois) seconded. This is exciting. The reason behind this is because Pat Roberts has been talking to the Senate about his dragging on the report on the Iraq War Commission. Since the election, there has been very little that has happened.
Or, as EJ Dionne...

The Partly Cloudy Patriot
I should be studying for an exam I have tomorrow, but I don’t really feel like it (mainly because I am not feeling the greatest and am really tired), so I thought I would share this little bit with you. I’m currently reading 3 books (yes, 3): The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren (I’ll talk more about this in another post), The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, and The Partly Cloudy Patriotby...
