 The Conservative Argument: Why do Democrats rail against nuclear power? They constantly demand that we move to "energy independence", but they always reject any means by which that could actually happen. They argue for solar power, wind power, soybean power, but all of those are supplementary forms of energy. They cannot be primary sources of energy. They are intermittent.
Not to mention that when windmills were erected off of Cape Cod, the grand liberal himself, Teddy Bear Kennedy fought strenuously to have them removed. He didn't want alternative forms of power in his backyard. He thought they were unsightly and not becoming a community as posh posh as Cape Cod! So we have liberals fighting against any form of energy that could actually work, or that would be put in their own backyard. Nuclear energy is the one form of energy that could solve just about every problem Democrats have with energy. It's not imported. It's incredibly safe. It's incredibly clean (i.e. it doesn't contribute to "global warming"). Yet they rail against it. The Liberal Argument: The science is just not there concerning nuclear power. It's far too dangerous a risk at this time. Nuclear waste lasts hundreds of thousands of years and there's no reliable way to get rid of the billions of tons of it that would be produced. The Conservative Rebuttal: Fortunately, a new book by Gwenyth Cravens debunks ALL of these myths. Not surprising to learn that liberals would argue with their backs to the facts! |

The Conservative Argument: Political correctness has hamstrung America's efforts in the war against Islamic jihad. From the battlefield in Iraq back to the Pentagon in Washington, politically correct bullies have intimidated officials into hurting America.  The Liberal Argument: There is no evidence political correctness has harmed our efforts. It's bungling on the part of the Bush administration that has done the damage.
Conservative Response: If anything, what the Bush administration has bungled is that it has gone along far too often with what the politically correct left has wanted. Then when it fails, the left can conveniently blame Bush. What they don't realize is that what has failed has been when the Bush administration has listened too much to the Left. The Evidence: This editorial in Investors Business Daily documents a case where political correctness caused the man who knew more than anyone about the connection between Islam and terror - and wasn't afraid to speak out about it, to be fired. |

Woman at center of Indiana voter ID law case was registered to vote in two states!
Democrats are the first to scream "voter fraud" every time they lose an election. Yet, they continue to refuse to take the single most sensible and effective step to combat voter fraud - that of requiring photo ID at polling stations. |

U.N. Agency Lowers AIDS Estimates
GENEVA, Switzerland, Nov. 20, 2007 (UPI) -- The United Nations lowered its estimates of the number of AIDS-infected people worldwide, indicating that the disease's growth has slowed for the first time.
Better sampling techniques indicate the number of new infections peaked in 1998 and the number of deaths peaked in 2005, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.
The new analysis indicated the total number of people living with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, has been increasing gradually, but at a slower rate than previously reported. An estimated 2.5 million people will be infected with HIV this year, about a 40 percent drop from a 2006 estimate, the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS, or UNAIDS, reported from its headquarters in Switzerland.
The report said about 33 million people worldwide are infected with the virus, compared with last year's estimate of almost 40 million.
"For the first time, we are seeing a decline in global AIDS deaths," said Dr. Kevin De Cock, director of the AIDS department at the World Health Organization.

Rational Argument: Since Hurricane Katrina hit
the Gulf Coast of the US in August 2005, there have been many predictions that
more hurricanes just like it were on the way in future years and that they will
be caused by global warming. It was also claimed often that Katrina was
the result of global warming.
Liberal Argument circa 2008:
No one ever said Hurricane Katrina was caused by global warming.
Yes they did and here's
one article
that shows it.
