The New York Times reports that conservatives have been drawing up a 10-point checklist -- to be printed on litmus paper? -- against which the Republican National Committee should measure prospective GOP candidates.
There's nothing surprising about the contents of the proposed creed (for example, opposition to government funding of [...]
One additional thing worth pointing out about these emails. They are hardly unexpected. For anyone following this issue, it is clear that the method of operation of the global warming folks is to use the consensus of the scientists as a club to shut up any opposition. But it is [...]
Many in the no-longer-so-loyal opposition to the Obama juggernaut of taking the wrecking ball to the Republic fret about how to slow or stop it. Here's the news: You can't.
There are now so many programs and initiatives in play on so many levels that just keeping' [...]
What the governments of the world are negotiating is simply the continuation of the industrial machine in the face of global environmental change, but almost no public opposition.
Oh, there’s lots of blather about how We Need To Do Something… sometime, but not now.. Down the [...]
Community groups and Los Angeles Unified officials on Tuesday condemned an anonymous flyer handed to Latino parents that threatened them with deportation if they supported plans to convert their neighborhood school to a charter. United Teachers Los Angeles denies responsibility,...

It was a blow to Roman Catholic liberals when the Vatican announced last month that it would welcome, en masse, conservative Anglicans who share the pope's opposition to female clergy and traditional views about homosexuality. But there was a silver lining for liberals: The fact that in welcoming married Anglican priests [...]
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger offered an idea Monday that he says might have less political opposition than building a peripheral canal to transport water around the Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta. It would be an underground canal -- similar to the one in his movie "Total Recall." The governor actually [...]
A new LATimes/USC poll was released Friday regarding voter attitudes about Gay Marriage. A year after Proposition 8 removed the rights of same-gender couples [...]
On Monday, Assemblymember Alyson Huber will deliver 2,000 postcards to Governor Schwarzenegger from Delta residents, including me, who are opposed to the construction of a peripheral canal. The postcards are to remind the Governor of the strong opposition Delta residents have toward his canal plan.
Earlier this [...]
Let’s see, 69 (of 258) House Democrats “have expressed opposition to the Speaker’s health care bill.” The party’s leadership may delay the vote slated for tomorrow on the bill as they struggle to find enough votes to pass it. No wonder they’re doing what they always do when [...]
Active in Virginia politics when living in Arlington in the 1990s, I reached a conclusion about most suburban “swing” voters, they are neither pro-gay nor anti-gay, but are rather anti-anti-gay, that is, they really don’t like candidates who make opposition to gay issues the centerpiece of their campaigns. This applies [...]
Thirty years ago, the U.S. Embassy in Tehran was stormed by radical Islamists. Fifty-two Americans were held for 444 days. The regime marks this date each year with rallies, "death to America" chants and the burning of the Stars and Stripes. This year is different. The opposition "Green Movement" is rebutting those slogans [...]
I’ll have a story in Sunday’s editions about what legalized marijuana might look like were any of the proposed ballot measures now circulating for petition signatures, or a bill now pending in the Legislature, to be enacted. In trying to characterize law enforcement’s opposition, I decided to check in with [...]
The fighting terrorism argument makes no sense. Invading a country will always build a determined opposition, who could strike here as well as there. Plus, given the current dismal state of the economy, we can’t afford to fight wars that don’t need to be fought.
It’s my suggestion that, in [...]
