Evan Sayet interview. Liberals side with evil, failure and wrong. - Opinion Times Nov 17, 2009, 4:05 pm
Stand up comics aren’t supposed to be good political analysts, are they? Well, Evan Sayet joined me today on The Jim Pfaff Show to make the case that the modern liberal will “always stand on the side of evil, failure and wrong.” With rare exception, liberals support policies which tear down the country.

Monckton, Lord Christopher: A British politician, business consultant, policy adviser, writer, columnist, inventor and hereditary peer, he opposes the misguided Copenhagen climate change treaty which many countries, including the United States, seem poised to sign. The threat this treaty poses U.S. sovereignty, Monckton says, is very real. And he warns the United [...]© Jim Pfaff, OpinionTimes.com and Innovative Research and Data Solutions.

I don’t really like to gather in the group of conspiracy theorists who after losing an election (a la Bill Clinton) want to find something sinister in their opponents.

It was surprising that Charles Krauthammer on FoxNews felt Obama looked relaxed and confident. That wasn’t the case at all.

*Obama on abortion - Opinion Times Aug 16, 2008, 8:52 pm
Barak Obama completely skirted the question on abortion. He used the typical liberal religious pablum that he is personally and “convicted” religiously against abortion but stands for Roe v. Wade and wants to “reduce abortions” because that is something “we can all agree upon.”
The problem is that Obama has done nothing to [...]
*Obama on Supreme Court justices - Opinion Times Aug 16, 2008, 9:04 pm
It is important to note that Obama confirmed he would not nominate either Clarence Thomas or Antonin Scalia. He says that John Roberts “actions” confirm his “no” vote.
So, by implication, Obama will nominate a Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Contrast this with John McCain’s insistence he will nominate a Scalia and Thomas. [...]

I am sure many in the conservative blogosphere will hail this as evidence of things turning around. Certainly we hope so. But much more remains to be done.
That having been said, this is a very encouraging sign. Could this be an indication that Iraq’s Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is finally taking a stand against his fellow Shi’ite al-Sa

A Dutch Pizzeria Owner Gives Wimpy Leftist Americans a Lesson in Courage - Opinion Times Jul 13, 2005, 10:26 am
Having the last name “Pfaff”, I ought to be quite offended by this. But it’s not “Schroeder”, and I have no patience for the political anti-war pablum of France and Germany which is increasingly turning into negotiation with Islamo-fascist terrorists. And I am further embarrassed by the elite left in this country who are rhetorically putting our soldiers in harm’s way. And I’m even more embarrased by the namby-pamby attitude of said American leftist e

Media Blogging Pride - Opinion Times Jul 27, 2005, 11:47 am
I written before about nascent attempts by the media to elbow their way into the blogsphere. It escapes me how the media could have the audacity to think they can successfully break into an information medium which has exploded by filling the vacuum they created. The Arizona Republic intends to do so with “A Weblog by Informed Arizonans.” [emphasis mine]
Well, thank you Arizona Republic for helping us uninformed bloggers figure out how to get it right! (I find that typing this
*Chief Justice Roberts is Pro-Christmas - Opinion Times Dec 16, 2005, 4:18 pm
Looks like Chief Justice John Roberts will maintain the tradition doggedly observed by the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist of observing “Christmas.”
Turns out that Justice Thurgood Marshall declined to take part in the celebration as his papers revealed.
Funny . . . . I’m always saying “Bah-humbug” about liberal politics anyway.
*SCOTUS Confirmation Fight Will Draw Millions of Dollars - Opinion Times Jul 5, 2005, 11:57 am
The imminent Supreme Court confirmation battle will draw in big money.
WaPo: "Under the scenario of an ideological battle, participants predict the competition for cash will turn the Senate confirmation into the most expensive nomination fight in the nation's history, certain to break $50 million and, if the nominee is especially controversial, likely to approach $100 million."
Partisan bickering on the left is the cause in my humble opinion. As usual, Reid and Pelosi are stirring up the reas

The announcement has come. The first of two Arizonans is retiring from the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON -- "Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman appointed to the Supreme Court and a key swing vote on issues such as abortion and the death penalty, said Friday she is retiring.
O'Connor, 75, said she expects to leave before the start of the court's next term in October, or whenever the Senate confirms her successor. There was no immediate word from the White House on who might be nominated

Logan Darrow Clements, CEO of Freestar Media, LLC, has petitioned the town of Weare, NH to build a hotel at 34 Cilley Hill Road. This would be an everyday non-event until one considers the person residing there now, Supreme Court Justice David Souter.
Clements argues that the city of Weare will receive much greater tax revenue with a hotel on this property, and would therefore benefit from the enforcement of immanent domain. This, of course, is the argument behind the recent

*Economist: Religious Just Starting Rise - Opinion Times Jun 24, 2005, 6:36 pm
Economist.com gives its take on the rise of the "Religious Right" in American politics.
"Religious America's switch to the right is rooted in two things: liberal over-reach and conservative organisation. The consistent whinge from the Christian right about "liberal activist judges" exceeding their mandate contains a kernel of truth. In the 1960s and 1970s, judges changed America from a country where every school day began with a prayer, and abortion and pornography were frowned on, to a countr

Robert Knight of Concerned Women of America points out an interesting fact left out of Sen.

He believes that taking a baby from its mother's womb, sucking out its brains and discarding it is not cruelty.

With all due respect to the political insight of Dick Morris (and he deserves much), he is quite wrong about his belief that Cong. Shelley Moore Capito--D-WV has a chance to defeat Sen. Robert Byrd--D-WV. It is unlikely that he will come down to defeat when otherwise Republican business owners won't cough up the money to make the Republican machine work. The WV GOP was severly choked in 2004 because these businesses were unwilling to buck Democrats who held and wielded a serious threat of rep

Back before the 2004 elections, researcher Harold Stassen wrote an op-ed piece in which he claimed that abortions are increasing during the Bush Administration and were decreasing under his predecessor, Bill Clinton. This information was immediately and effectively refuted at the time, but it started a debate which President Bush's pro-abortion detractors have used to delegitimize the pro-life position.

*Abortion as a Factor in Judicial Nominees - Opinion Times May 13, 2005, 6:30 pm
The Gallup Organization has an interesting poll out showing who is paying attention to the fight over judicial nominees in the Senate.
It turns out that 45% of people said it was very important "to them, personally, that future U.S. Supreme Court nominees share their views on abortion." Of these, 53% said they are pro-life. Though Americans polled by Gallup break 48% pro-choice and 44% pro-life, the "very important" number should be of major concern to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. Th
