The Engine Behind Change

Mike Huckabee is no longer officially running for President (although if McCain were to have some problem with his health or other issues and needed to drop out, the convention would be brokered and all candidates would be back on the table.)

Despite the withdrawal of Huckabee from the presidential race, the energy behind his supporters has not waned - merely been redirected. HucksArmy is still a viable force on the political scene. This time, though, their energy will be turned toward supporting those candidates who share Huckabee's values. A new group has formed as well - the F3 Coalition - an action site based on Huckabee's slogan FAITH, FAMILY, FREEDOM.

These forums are worth looking at, and , if you want to get involved, please sign up. A change needs to be made in the Republican party as it continues to drift away from its base. Conservatives are about ready to say, like Reagan said of the Democrats - "I didn't leave the party, the party left me."

We call this domestic violence and it is a crime

Here is the President of Al-Azhar University and Former Mufti of Egypt Ahmad Al-Tayyeb talking about and justifying wife beating. It will raise the hackles of many women who have experienced domestic violence (myself included). This man's views are not what I would ever want to become predominant here in the United States. May we be watchful and cautious and even vigilant against Ahmad Al-Tayyeb's views.

Can't we all get along???

It's not as easy as it seems when not all parties want to play together.



My fellow blogger, Urban Infidel, snapped this at the Gathering of Eagles event yesterday. She's got a great slideshow of the event and the "Gitmo Torture Theater" on her site. It's worth a visit!
