Right Wing Sparkle came to

Right Wing Sparkle came to the dance but is spending her time on the sidelines gossiping about some of her Political Memories. It is the sort of thing that does tend to happen at some dances.

Sissy at sisu points out that Hell Hath No Greater Fury.

Recognizing the White House had foiled her best laid plans to fool some of the people all of the time, the junior senator from New York was beside herself, fiery eyes popping out of her sagging brow in seething rage. The Republicans were on a roll -- big time -- and there was nothing the old gal could do to stem the tide.

At Small Dead Animals I just learned that Kate and I share a common history as farm kids . . . and possible child abuse. Check out Child Labour to find out if you may be a victim as well.

How sincere are the words you read on your favorite blog? Is it just smoke and mirrors meant to evoke a certain emotional response from you?

In less honest moments, I have taken a much more extreme position about certain things to write a good blog entry that would generate the "hits". I faked a little moral outrage to "rile" up the troops. It's been easy to do, most people can't ignore the screams of extremism, most seem to even prefer it. It quickly polarizes the audience to those who will fight for you and those who will fight against you. But it never changes a mind. When my opinions are strong, you will certainly know it; I refuse to dilute my beliefs but I will not season them as well. What you see will be what you get.

Jody from Steal the Bandwagon gives us a look inside the mind of a blogger.

Zendo Deb from TFS Magnum says that:

Between flag-burning amendment and horrible Supreme Court rulings, I think is time we start on taking back some of our liberties. To that end I have alist of Amendments I think make sense.

The American Princess makes the point that Blaming Karl Rove Has Never Been Easier.

Beth W. from Yeah.Right.Whatever has A Civic Lesson for us all.

When a Democrat was in the White House, the GOP did not fillibuster any judicial nominees who had majority support. They voiced their opposition. They made their feelings known... BY VOTING AGAINST THE NOMINEE. None of this temper-tantrum whining. Maybe the Dems should try it. Just a thought

Denita from Who Tends the Fires gives us Shades of Daniel.

Cassandra of Villainous Company says that Terror is Not the Enemy.

No, terror is not the greatest of those things which threaten our way of life. It has the power to injure, but not to destroy. It is ignorance which imperils us, which blinds us to what we know is right, which tips the scales when we try to evaluate our options, which leads us to believe we can go on like this forever, enjoying the freedoms earned by forgotten generations, and somehow pass the torch to a new generation without lifting our eyes from our flickering TV sets.

Mary Katharine Ham of Townhall.com posts about eminent domain.

Fausta from The Bad Hair Blog compares Iran with Venezuela.

Venezuela and Iran would have perfect synergy: both countries are led by ideologists that hate the USA and are adroit at manipulating elections; the mullahs have plundered their country and Hugo, not satisfied with all that oil money, has taken over the Central Bank's reserves; and now they both think they're the bomb. Or at least, want to be.

The Anchoress submits A Letter to Any American Soldier Anywhere But Especially in Iraq.

And when I close my prayerbook, finally, I lay back on my fluffy pillow, and I make the sign of the cross and thank the Lord for all of his blessings, and when I do that, I DO count you soldiers, you sailors, you marines, you airmen among those blessings. God be with you, in all you do.
