Is Your State Red Enough? BloodRedState.com

The Glenn Beck program, the third most listened to radio show in the country, has long been known as not your typical conservative radio show. What has endeared Mr. Beck to listeners is his unflinching desire to tell the truth as he sees it, his sticking up for traditional American values, and his stance that there is no issue that should be decided right or left, just right or wrong. What makes his latest work, “An Inconvenient Book”, so remarkable is how easily he is able to capture the feeling of listening to his radio show within its pages.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown stated his continued support for George W. Bush and the Coalition’s war on terror this week as he made his second visit to the US since becoming Britain’s Head of Government last year.

Veteran Hollywood actor and champion of civil rights Charlton Heston died Saturday, April 5, 2008 at his home in Beverly Hills, California with his wife of 64 years Lydia by his side. As of this writing the exact cause of death had not been disclosed.

It’s unfortunate that politicians never speak plainly or directly, especially when it concerns a mistake. Obama’s dance around the statements made by his pastor is a recent example. Obama doesn’t agree with what his pastor said, but won’t condemn the statement. Perhaps it’s just politicking, but it’s an unfortunate commentary on our political landscape when we can’t expect anything better.

It’s in this light that we find Hillary’s recent fairyland reconstruction of her trip to Bosnia particularly disheartening.

The importance of the Second Amendment was hailed last week from an unlikely source- Hollywood. CBS’s post-apocalyptic thriller series ‘Jericho’, in which over twenty American cities had been destroyed in an atomic attack by terrorists, ended its run last week with an explosive conclusion to the series, as well as an important message about the Second Amendment.

The Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday relating to the constitutionality of Washington D. C.’s thirty-two year old handgun ban. Thankfully, the justices seem to be leaning on the side of liberty this time.

Chief Justice John Roberts asked, “What is reasonable about a total ban on possession?” Alan Gura, a lawyer representing a Washington citizen challenging the ban stated, “It’s unreasonable and it fails any standard of review.”

Barack Obama, after having been attacked over his Pastor’s past racist remarks, took the opportunity on Tuesday in Philadelphia to expand on his views on race. Big surprise- he’s against racism!

The fight between Obama and Hillary is getting nastier and nastier by the day. Republicans should rejoice as these two powerhouses of the Democratic Party, one supposedly representing the new spirit of the party, the other undoubtedly representing the failed policies of the 1990s, pull out the political nukes against each other. This means less money and less credibility for the eventual Democratic nominee in November’s general election.
