Our good friend Sen. Specter is finding himself in the hot seat as the battle over the Judicial nominees heats up in the Senate Judiciary Committee. It is no secret where Sen. Specter stands on the abortion issue and or record of standing up to the left, but conservatives and savethegop.com will be putting the pressure on every step of the way. Can you imagine what would happen if Sen. Tom Coburn was the Committee chairman? Problem solved.

Thomas Sowell from the Hoover Institution had an outstanding column in this weeks Baltimore Sun exlaining what Conservatives truly stand for. Sowell contrasts the irrational arguments of the left with good old logical conservative common sense.

RANDOM THOUGHTS on the passing scene:

How many other species’ members kill each other to the same extent as human beings?

How can you be an “insurgent” in someone else’s country? Yet despite the fact that the wave of terrorism in Iraq is led by an outside terrorist who is murdering Iraqis, our media still call his terror campaign an “insurgency.”

It is amazing how many people who phone ask to know who you are instead of telling you who they are.

Raising Social Security taxes today will not leave a dime more to pay pensions to future retirees. Right now there is more money coming into the system than is going out - and the difference gets spent on other things. Higher taxes now would mean a bigger excess to be spent on other things, leaving nothing more for the future.

Time and again, over the centuries, price controls have produced three things: shortages, quality deterioration and black markets. Why would anyone want any of those things with pharmaceutical drugs?

According to a Times (UK) article, one of the founders of Labour Against The War has just resigned from the group over the changing (read: improving) situation in Iraq. Usually liberals hate to admit they were wrong, but this guy seems more than honest about it.

Mr Barnes accused the anti-war movement of offering a “one-sided” view of life in Iraq, endlessly repeating the 100,000 casualty estimate produced in an analysis of deaths caused by the conflict, published in the academic journal The Lancet.

“That analysis said it could be anything between 2,000 and 198,000,” he said. “Some things are just over-the-top and simple-minded.”

That’s some pretty harsh criticism, lets hope that on this side of the pond some of our anti-war whackos are listening, but I doubt it.
