Geldof on Bush
Published by Rod D. Martin February 29th, 2008 filed under Africa, Culture War, George W. Bush, Rod D. Martin, TheVanguard.Org
Here’s a really insightful piece — a three-page essay for the leftist Time magazine — by George Bush’s most unlikely fan, Live Aid organizer Bob Geldof. Geldof and pal Bono are among the world’s most dedicated activists in the cause of relieving African suffering, and both take the view that George W. Bush has done more for Africa than anyone else alive.

No matter which Republican ends up facing Hillary or Obama this fall, count on that person to be the abortion establishment’s worst nightmare.
But wait a second, you say. Of the four leading GOP candidates, only one of them, Mike Huckabee, is both a longtime and a passionate pro-lifer. Mitt Romney appears ardent on the issue, but he’s a relatively recent convert. John McCain has never supported the pro-abortion position, but has historically lacked passion on the matter. And Rudy Giuliani remains unapologetically pro-choice.

Monitor Our Judges Now
Published by Charles Gordon July 21st, 2007 filed under Charles Gordon, Culture, Culture War, Activism, Judiciary
America has no shortage of hideously bad judges — you know, the kinds that slap child molesters gently on the wrist while throwing pro-life grandmothers in prison, that replace the plain words of the Constitution with their own political agendas, and that self-evidently lack the character or the temperament to be judges in the first place.
Why don’t conservatives form an organization to monitor them?
