A few months ago, I was raked over the partisan coals because I didn’t join in on the wagon-circling of Tom DeLay. That’s the problem, whether it be a Bill Clinton, or any politician you suspect of being down right potential slime. If you have to stick your neck out for someone, you want...

Every few months or so, we have to go through this same evolution. Some “leader†of the NAACP comes out, screams about all the social ills in the black community, fails to make one suggestion, blames every Republican in sight and outs all black conservatives as sell outs and worse. Well, pardon me if...

Now that Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor has called it quits, just watch: we’ll all be served a big heap of liberal chutzpah. And the usual faire, I might add. In the end, I’ll toss out that age-old question to ponder: why God makes middle fingers. Let’s go back, shall we, to every...

Not sure if it’s genuine burnout or that I’m just growing increasingly tired of having to engage in endless repetition, having to come up with new arguments against the same old liberal recitations. It’s getting so old; I find it hard to get motivated to write, despite this column being event-driven. Hard to get...

Purely a rhetorical question…. A lot of people are making much of Illinois Senator Dick Durbin’s comparison of our treatment of Iraqi insurgents at Gitmo with the treatment of prisoners and civilians under the “care” of the Nazis and Soviets. Some Democrats want to shut down the detention camp altogether. One question: when we...

Was flipping through the channels last weekend and guess who I saw on C-SPAN? It was Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, schmoozing and pressing the flesh at a New Hampshire Republican Women’s event. This partially bugs me and partially, I could care less. It bugs me because last year I met and worked with many...

There are some professions that are quite noble. There are some professions that I would have to ask, “why would you want to do that?†My father was a teacher and could deal with kids. He was blessed at teaching during a time when parents and kids, for the most part, respected teachers. That’s...

I just finished recording a radio spot on this topic and felt it needed further analysis. During Tuesday’s edition of Democracy Now!, it again reemphasized the fact that there are some on the left who genuinely want the United States to lose the war against the insurgents (terrorists) in Iraq. Hostess Amy Goodman interviewed...

One of the constants in the world is the notion of the “big mouth.†Some people open it out of reflex and have to go through much public anguish when the anticipated repercussions occur. Some people just like to start trouble. Put a big mouth and troublemaker together and we have a fairly volatile...

Politics makes strange bedfellows. It’s not often that one has to temporarily side with racists in order to make the case for liberal hypocrisy regarding what they consider hate speech and their soft reasoning for denying someone else their right to free speech. Please bear with me while I set this (and liberals) up,...

Funny, a couple of years ago President Bush was ridiculed by liberals for placing Iran and North Korea within the “Axis of Evil.†Now with both those countries giving negotiators and interested parties the middle finger with uranium refining, missile and pending underground nuclear tests, the media decided these next items should dominate the...

“You’re Bob Parks, aren’t you? You wrote this, didn’t you?†Funny, I’ve been writing columns now for over three years that some of you have enjoyed, especially when I pick apart someone you dislike. But when it’s time to circle the wagons and defend someone on our side and I dare not join in,...

That title was a bit deceptive. I’m not sure if Congressman Tom DeLay is enjoying or not all the attention he’s getting now. Some of us on the right who can appreciate what happens when our own officials who should obviously obey the law, rub it in our faces. Yes, what happens in Washington...

In his (or her) wisdom, when God created right and wrong, thus the concepts of good and evil, there needed to be a method of defining those concepts in a way that could ultimately define a winner and loser. With that, the concept of “hypocrisy” was created. When it rears it’s ugly head, it...

It would be purely rhetorical for me to say at this point that I was confused. Maybe if I toss some ideas around, we may learn something. American liberals are constantly reminding us of the “separation of church and stateâ€ÂÂ, which incidentally appears nowhere except in the “living Constitution.†So with that, by legislation...

Things are normally not what they seem. Sometimes they’re worse. This Is News To Whom Claudia Parsons over there at Reuters was actually paid to write the following item. I take it there is something here that most people didn’t know…? “U.S. media coverage of last year’s election was three times more likely to...

It’s always been about common sense, not meanness as alleged, when several recent incidents prove the point in some ways more serious than others. It’s time to remind those who will be spending the next few weeks asking the same old agenda driven questions, there are some of us who’ll offer up some of...

Sometimes it’s not easy to avoid popular group-think. No matter what we try to do to make the world better, why are we seemingly always sucker-punched by (as it would turn out) some of the most ungrateful, selfish, ignorant, spiteful, and uncooperative of people. And some still have the nerve to ask why some...

Papa’s Got A Brand New Blog Thanks to Mike LaSalle at Men’s News Daily, I’ve been given a great opportunity to join the ranks of the bloggers. The only real difference is that unlike traditional blogs where readers can immediately respond and add to the page, I’d like to keep things civilized. Please email...

I’ve personally been accused of being judgmental on more than one occasion. The reason is simple: I believe in black and white, right and wrong, and I’ve yet to see the choices evolve into right, wrong, and maybe. Who Intimidated Whom? Liberals can’t wait to show their compassion and love for those poor ol’...
