The preconceived notion that a Conservative is a person in a pin striped suit, wealthy beyond belief, and/or a "Bible Thumper" is about to be shattered.Maenoreply@blogger.comBlogger3871100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12062490.post-1123904304522667782005-08-13T15:38:00.000+12:002005-08-13T18:57:32.246+12:00

There's really nothing new in the world. Liberals are still insane. Terrorists are still insane. Illegal immigrants are flooding across US borders at the rate of 3,000,000 per year with no end in sight, so I must conclude that most of our politicians are insane, as well.So I'll look at some cars and share them with those of you who are interested.Last week, our friend, Vilmar, at Ranting Right

As many of you know, I am a motorsports and performance enthusiast, both as a fan and a participant. Ever since I was a little kid I have been fascinated by racing and going fast, and at 40 years of age, I still feel the need for speed.There's an old adage in racing that goes, "Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?" For the most part, it's hard to beat a motorcycle in speed per dollars

This just pisses me off, but it is a tactic as old as the media themselves: Using misleading or false headlines to generate newspaper sales, TV news viewership, and more recently, "hits" at online news sources. This is an effective tactic because most people will not go past the headline, much the same as they don't go past the soundbite. The average anti-American, anarchist, socialist,

This week's feature car is the Mercedes CLK-GTR and CLK-LM. The GTR competed very successfully in FIA GT racing against the Porsche GT and the BMW V-12-powered McClaren F-1 GT in the late '90s, and the sister car, CLK-GTR/LM, was built to meet rules specifications for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The biggest difference between the two cars was the engine: the CLK-GTR had a thundering 6.0 liter,

While motorsport is much safer now than it has ever been, accidents still happen. And while safety improvements have been made resulting in fewer injuries and death in both 4- and 2-wheeled racing, motorcycle racers are still more prone to injury because it's still just a rider and a motorcycle, with no roll cages, HANS devices, or any of the myriad other safety implements afforded to auto

Got this one from our contributor, David, aka DR@HDfixit. Comments in bold are his:***************************************Heard this one this morning. Had a hard time finding it as you can guess. It will be buried and never spoken of again:IN BRIEF / LOS ANGELES COUNTY / COMPTON7 Gang Members Held in Beating of 2 Men From Times Staff and Wire ReportsMay 25, 2005Seven known black gang members

Remember when Arnold referred to some of his colleagues in government as "girlie men?" This weeping ass-clown, Senator "Boy George" Voinovich (R-Ohio), is living proof. Go to RadioBlogger to listen to the MP3 of him bawling and blithering over the Bolton nomination. Do you think that this type of public behavior on the floor of the US Senate strikes fear into the hearts of our terrorist enemies

Amnesty International in a 308 page report has branded and the ACLU has accused the USA of: Assaulting "Global Values," the "Gulag" of our time. The Gulag title came about with Stalin's 400 concentration camps, possible deaths in these camps approximately 20 million. These wingnut groups using this analogy to describe the US are in essence just giving misleading, misinformed, "righteous" fuel

"The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started."So I looked around my house to see all the things I had started and hadn't finished, and before leaving the house this morning I finished off the last 3 bottles in a six pack, a bottle of Bailey's, a bottle of Kahlua, a package of Oreos, the remainder of both Prozac and Vicodin prescriptions, the rest of the cheesecake,

A picture is said to be worth a thousand words. Only one word necessary here: PSYCHO.Remember Jennifer Wilbanks, the so-called "runaway bride" who supposedly got cold feet right before her wedding and took-off from her home town in Duluth, GA and later phoned police from New Mexico saying she'd been kidnapped? I'm not going into all the details because I just don't think it's all that important

For something a little different to inspire thought....A New Front in Financial War on TerrorThe federal government has made the interdiction of terrorist financing a top priority. This should come as no surprise since terrorists, like any organization, require safe harbor, logistic support and funding to train, coordinate and obtain weapons. To date, however, the U.S. government says it has been

On May 16, Senator Zell Miller was interviewed via email by some of the bigger blogs like Captain's Quarters, Red State Rant, Blackfive, Polipundit, Wizbang and others (all available in one of our blog rolls on the right). Go read the first part here. We need more straight shooters like Senator Miller in government. Too bad he's not seeking re-election.

Leaving the left / I can no longer abide the simpering voices of self-styled progressives -- people who once championed solidarity:Read the whole thing.

This is good or bad, depending on how you look at it. It's bad because the report shows how totally screwed-up the Mexican border situation is:"The tide of illegal crossings on the borders of the United States is beyond unsatisfactory; it is catastrophic. It does not ebb and flow — it only grows. It is rising without measure and eroding the very fiber of our safety, life and culture," the report

Here's some good news about Iraqis not afraid to fight for themselves,Fighting Back:You may remember Dhia Muhsin, a carpenter from the working-class Baghdad neighborhood of al-Dora, who became a celebrity of sorts back in March, when he stood up to insurgents who terrorized his area. In a firefight lasting half an hour Mushin and his nephews killed three of them and forced the rest to retreat.***

It seems that the MSM, the moonbat Left, and other panty-waste apologists for the psychotic Muslims are confused about what "torture," "abuse," and barbaric "inexcusable crimes" are. Since words and reason don't seem to work too well with the Leftist traitors, and a picture is said to be worth a thousand words, we'll make it easy for them and use pictures. One photo represents barbaric, inhuman,

We just can't get enough of Robert "Mad Bob" Mugabe. This past weekend we brought you this story about how he and his government want the white farmers they once seized land from to return to Zimbabwe. Since Mugabe, in the typical Marxist practice of collective "nationalization," seized their land, nobody apparently knows how to grow anything on it. Well, it seems the white farmers aren't
