(Judge Wil) Schroder for Justice has hired Ray Stewart and the Frankfort-based Stewart Media Group to do their campaign ads this fall. Stewart has a pretty slimy reputation, especially since 2002 when he ran a campaign ad which purportedly depicted the opposition candidate in a trailer preparing to have sex with a man who was not her husband. This from the Lexington Herald-Leader:
The ad, which Emmons called a fabrication, did not mention adultery. But it showed a sitting woman removing clothing as a man moved toward her. “It shows just how little she values her reputation and wedding vows,” said the ad, which was prepared by Frankfort political consultant Ray Stewart.
This also from the Herald-Leader:
In it, May introduces what he says is “an X-rated video” that he says shows Hancock. The woman in the tape is sitting on a small bed, beginning to remove her pants.
May says in the ad that the tape “shows just how little she values her reputation and wedding vows.”
Stewart, May’s consultant, offered a deal yesterday. He said his campaign would drop the sex tape ad if Hancock’s campaign dropped the ad about May’s brushes with the law. Emmons said that might not happen.
Apparently, Stewart was “fighting fire with fire.” His client had been arrested for one reason or another 56 times over the previous eleven years and the adulterous sinning cheater-woman in the video told the public about it. His response was to lie and then say that he wasn’t going to stop lying until the sinner woman stopped telling the truth. I wonder what Stewart would have done if the woman had mentioned that 40 of the 56 charges upon which his client had been arrested were later amended down. My bet is he would have ran the exact same ad.
This says a lot about Schroder. He has this “anything to win” attitude. He will do whatever he has to do to win that seat because he is obsessed with power and has no morals. A decent candidate would not take free service from Stewart. Apparently, some Republicans have hired the guy just so their opponents can’t. Whether or not that’s true, we may never know, but I hope that we can run a state in which people who do the right thing win the elections. Call it pie in the sky, but Marcus Carey is doing the right thing and he would make a superb Kentucky Supreme Court Justice.
One reason I know this is because when Marcus Carey saw Wil Schroder out in public last week he tried to shake his hand. That is a common enough courtesy to extend to your opponent in a civil democratic election. Judge Schroder wasn’t even gentlemanly enough to shake hands with Carey. He turned his back on him and muttered something under his breath. Schroder is acting as if he is offended that someone has the audacity to run against him in this election. It’s a typical liberal attitude. They think they are entitled to power because they are just such good and caring people. They think it is their birthright. It is like John Kerry going to the front of the line and saying, “Do you know who I am?”
Schroder is having a hard time hiding his true self. Marcus Carey is looking more and more like not only a better man, but a more reasonable man who is more fit to be Justice. Schroder will do what is popular, not what is right as laid out by the law. He is too weak to be Justice. He is too concerned with being liked. He is too obsessed with power, and too in love with himself. The humble Marcus Carey is the one who will set the laws of Kentucky above himself, his ego, what is popular, and all else.
Democrats. Constantly relying on the media to do their dirty work. They’ve done it ever since there were only three television stations. Once people gained the options of who to listen to and whether or not to listen to all sides, conservatives started winning. Don’t put all your eggs in one blog, people.

Kentucky Progress reported a rumor that Cindy Sheehan is coming to Kentucky for a Democrat fund-raiser. That would be perfect for the Republicans. Democrats think money is the solution to everything. Anything for a few dollars. They shouldn’t even go near Cindy Sheehan, much less receive remarks from her formally and accept money at the event. That’s their prerogative, though.
Anyway, a comment-fest then insued and I became frustrated with some of the comments:
What I am the most sick of is people talking about things being popular or unpopular.
Even if the majority of the country really does believe we should leave Iraq, that doesn’t mean leaving Iraq is the right decision!! The right thing to do is not always popular.
We’re a sick nation, and it doesn’t surprise me at all to hear that “a majority of Americans believe the Iraq War is a mistake.” Frankly, though, it doesn’t matter what the majority of Americans think regarding this issue. All you can do is vote. I thank God every day that we have a president and an administration that, for the most part, doesn’t care about what these stupid polls say. He wants to do the right thing. He wants to do what is best for the country - long term. That course of action won’t necessarily be popular right now, but I can guarantee you that a hundred years from now Americans will survey history and thank God that we did what we are now doing.
Myopic America. At least the voting bloc is majority conservative.
We’re just scared that this next war will have to end like WWII. That’s a legitimate fear. However, if we do the right thing now and do not allow this sickness to infect the world any further, that will probably not be necessary. Even if it is necessary, so be it. Look at Japan now. It is one of the greatest nations on the planet. In 1945, though, it was consumed by a depraved ideology. War changed that.

I was honored, I guess, to be chosen “Best Conservative Parody Blog Ever” by Wirecan yesterday. Things like this tell me I’m doing something right. This guy apparently knows that this is not a parody site, but decided to label mine “parody” anyway because of my excessive level of stupidity. Awesome!

Open letter to Tom Jurich - University of Louisville Athletic Director:
Hi, Mr. Jurich. I am just amazed when I walk or drive around campus at all the new or relatively new sports facilities that have been built since you became UofL’s Athletic Director. They are awesome for the University, the city, and ultimately the state.
I can’t help but to think that you could do great things for the state of Kentucky if you ever put your mind to it. I mentioned the idea to a highly respected professor on campus and he said it wouldn’t be a bad idea. I said we should try to make you President of the University. He mentioned a better idea - President of the Council on Postsecondary Education.
It may sound far-fetched to some, maybe even to you. You know - giving an athletics guy (and a UofL guy to boot) authority to make decisions that would impact the entire state’s education system. “What does he know about that?! That’s dumb!” I don’t care, though.
You don’t play around. You think long-term. You set high goals and you take steps, even the necessary baby steps, to accomplish those goals. You find the money, raise the money, print the money, whatever it takes to get the job done. You delegate properly. More importantly, in my mind, you’re determined. You can sell an idea if you want to, if you know it is the right thing to do for the long term.
Just like you went and got Pitino, and you’ve bargained to keep Petrino - paying both of them the big bucks they deserve - you could do the same in the higher academic arena. You could persuade the best professors to come here and bring their research grants and their teams and families with them. You could get Federal grants and bring true national academic and scientific recognition to the state. Kentucky may be ripe right now, with this UofL stem-cell thing going on. If that pans out, as it appears to be, and the correct catalysts are applied this place could boom.
You might laugh at this, but I can’t help it. I think you have what it takes to drive this state towards success.
Maybe once you get Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium expanded you’ll consider a job change? A NCAA Championship? BCS Bowl?
You’ve benefited Louisville tremendously. You could benefit Kentucky next.
This is not a post about athletics at all. I just think Tom Jurich has great leadership, innovation, and problem-solving skills. We need more people like him in state government.

I love the stories coming out of Provincetown, MA about gay people harassing straight people for being straight. The funniest part about it is when they call the straight people “breeders.” As if humanity could survive without “breeders.”
It’s actually a lot more serious than how I’m presenting it, but the fair and balanced news website has a story about it. It’s definitely worth reading at least 50% of the article.
Here’s a link.

Thanks to Stop the ACLU, I read Islamo-Nazi propaganda today. It was truly amazing. Not unbelievable at all, but amazing. The aforelinked piece about Senator Santorum’s “repugnant remarks on Islam, Iran, and Syria” reminds me so much of Joseph Goebbels it is ridiculous.
The funny thing about stuff like this is it points you directly to your enemy. If al-Jazeera publishes an editorial defending Iran and Syria, that is exactly who you need to fight. Since it also criticizes Senator Santorum, that tells you that Senator Santorum is doing something right - if by “doing something right” you mean “doing something to defeat terrorism.”
It’s Isaiah 5:20 again.
The guy actually said at the end of the article, “Vote Democratic.” That is just amazing. I think it was actually stupid on the propagandist’s part, because some people will probably (and should) exploit the crap out of that. So the guy is actually probably doing something to hurt his cause, which of course is getting weak Democrats into office so terrorists can get into the country, break things, and kill people.
They might be idiots, but we have some idiots, too. Part of our strategy must be to be collectively smarter than them. Americans have to learn to read between the lines and not believe everything they see or hear, and more importantly, ask “Why would ____ do/say that?” We’re so skeptical of the Bush Administration, but we (some of us) believe everything that newspapers and television sets tell us. Some of us believe that human rights organizations fight only for human rights. Some of us believe the ACLU only wants to protect civil liberties as defined in the Constitution. We think news shows are right. We think journalists are smart. We think newspapers present historically documented eye-witness account no other side of the story facts. We think the United Nations is a world governing body.
I don’t want to sound too cynical, because I actually believe that there is a tremendous amount of good in the world. It is a great place that we have been given. However, wake up!!!! There are some honest people and organizations out there. Look for them.

This is the comment I made on Stop the ACLU’s entry about this Lebanese-German el-Masri and the ACLU suit on his behalf:
The ACLU wants to undermine ALL security measures because they actually want another terrorist attack to occur -key phrase warning- while George Bush is President.
This, in their minds and in the minds of Democrats everywhere, would embarass George Bush, prove his policies to be a failure, and catapault them into a position where they can take the lead credibility position on terrorism, because it IS the most important issue out there. Yes, STILL. Actually and politically.
The ACLU and the NYT would not be doing this crap if it could not benefit Democrats. If a Democrat wins in ‘08, watch them drop all these national security oriented lawsuits and go back to the good old right to child pornography etc. The ACLU that we all love.

Ken Jennings, the Jeopardy! genius, has some very humorous and seemingly conservative writing on his site. I didn’t investigate his front personality very extensively at all, but he seemed pretty conservative, what with living in Utah, being a Mormon, being intelligent, and referring to “left coast crap.” I even felt some of his pain this morning.
I am grateful to Michael for the extra web traffic, but not for the humor-impaired sock puppet users who showed up on the message board this morning to either defend Jeopardy! or make trouble, I can’t tell which. In any case, they’ve (he’s?) violated several of our posting guidelines, and the threads will be removed shortly. I welcome reasoned disagreement on a blog entry’s strengths and flaws, but this wasn’t it.
Man. I know the feeling. Is it possible that I am as smart as Ken Jennings and that is why we get harassed?
Don’t burst my bubble. Let me live this out for a little while.

The Iraq challenge isn’t over, and it will eventually be concluded. As more of us can see now, the purpose of it was mostly to destabilize - and then restabilize in a more correct and less terroristic fashion - the broader Middle East as a whole. Anybody who thinks Iraq was about Saddam & Co. is out of touch. Bush actually laid most of this out a long time ago. Nobody listened, though. Everybody wanted to talk about WMD. They had to sell it to us somehow, though.
This spending thing is definitely ridiculous. Deficit spending to get out of a recession isn’t exactly a new idea, though. Plus, even though he has veto power, I still think that ball is mostly in Congress’s court.
On that note, I don’t really care who is President on January 21, 2009, as long as it’s somebody who will not wimp out on this Middle East struggle. If it turns into World War III, so be it, but if we stay strong and be smart it probably won’t go that far.
Stop doubting. “No legacy for Mr. Bush.” Whatever. All of this is obviously very, very complex and sensitive. That’s why it’s so frustrating when people reduce this discussion to low-IQ arguments about oil, and Big Oil, and Halliburton, etc.
It’s much more serious than that.
Maybe it is time to elect a true conservative in ‘08. In fact, I emphatically agree with that. However, #1 is stopping Islamofascists and anyone else who would nuke us because if we fail to take care of this problem now it will come back to haunt us in the form of suicide bombings, dirty bombs, and mushroom clouds.
Iran is the heart of Islamofascist terror. However, you have to weaken your opponent before going for the knockout. Iraq is a jab. Hezbollah is a jab. Al-Qaida is a jab. It’s all part of defeating one opponent, though. That enemy is terrorism, or more specifically, Islamofascist terror. Of course, North Korea could play a role in this, and maybe a major role, but our main enemy right now are the Islamofascists.
We have to be confident, though. All this self-doubt and worry will do nothing but serve as a self-fulfilling prophecy is we don’t clean up our own acts.
The mental part of the game is the most important part. Offense and defense are simple. What matters is strategy, confidence, a can-win attitude. Sometimes the game plan may need to be altered. That’s fine. Do it, but not until you’re absolutely certain that your plan won’t work because there is a very real possibility that it just hasn’t worked yet.
I should probably get some quotes from coaches on this stuff. Maybe then you would believe me. I’ll leave that up to you, though.

Betty Williams, co-recipient of the 1976 Nobel Peace Prize announced today to schoolchildren in Australia, “Right now, I would love to kill George Bush.”
The Nobel people may desire peace, but they are too consumed with idealism and doing what is popular to make a sound decision regarding how to achieve peace.
Pray that all this chatter doesn’t cloud the vision of the president’s security service.

John at Stop the ACLU has a great comprehensive review of why the American Criminal Liberties Union is ridiculous at this page.
If anyone is having trouble understanding why the ACLU is not helping the cause of progress in America, or thinks the ACLU is cool, reading this page would be a good way to start turning your life around. It probably takes about ten minutes to read, but he has a ton of links which could further your education.
It’s a must read.

I’ve been largely absent from this blog, the internet, news, and so on for much of the last two weeks. I guess I’ve posted a little bit, but not as much as I normally do. I’ve been busy with unusual tasks and I’ve tried to devote the rest of my time to rest. If you didn’t notice, the comments sections of a couple of my posts were hijacked during this time. Somebody whose opinion isn’t unique or rational enough to attract readers to a blog of his own decided to put his intelligence on display in my comments sections.
The reader’s intelligence may be summed up in this comment: “Kerry and Liberman are moderates who hide their liberalism because they were trying to reach a broader constituency.” This is, of course, one of the most asinine statements I’ve ever heard. Lieberman actually is a moderate. He doesn’t really have liberalism to hide. That’s why he’s being lynched right now by liberal Democrats. He has failed to bow down to the Mother Sheehan crowd who dominates the money supply of the Democratic Party with donations from rich liberals who are obsessed with easing their wealth-guilt by sending money to people who claim to “support human rights” and “believe in reproductive freedom.” The idea that John F. Kerry is a moderate is just funny, and it reveals how ignorant of the real world the reader is. My guess is that the reader is a college student. Their brains are usually not fully-developed and that is a likely explanation for this massive, though hopefully not eternal, lapse of reason.
Do you see the phrasing game here? Lightweights think peace supporters support peace, human rights supporters support human rights, and so on. Yet one would get the impression from these groups that the United States is the only nation guilty of “human rights violations,” “violating international treaties” and so on. The nations who exercise restraint in warfare, arguably too much restraint, are accused of war crimes, targeting civilians, and so on. Groups like Hezbollah who hide missiles under civilians’ beds aren’t condemned. Israel is condemned for blowing up the building. People who detonate suicide bombs in crowded markets and mosques in order to deliberately target the innocent, however, need to be understood. Moreover, the international community needs to recognize that the person who committed the crime was himself a victim of the United States and/or Israel and that is what led him to commit the heinous act. This is all wrong. Isaiah 5:20 says, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness…” That’s what this is, regardless of whether or not you want to admit it.
The reader apparently also believes that a Nobel Peace Prize serves as confirmation that a president’s policy was correct and effective. First off, the only reason Jimmy Carter was given the Nobel Prize was because he traveled around the world bad-mouthing Bush. Secondly, the U.N., with all of its peacekeeping minor-rapists and fraudulent officials, also received a Nobel Peace Prize. The prize doesn’t mean anything of substance. It doesn’t validate true peace, or true and effective efforts to hold peace. The Nobel people and American liberals only care about the idealistic version of peace. This is a world in which you sit down and converse with terrorists and solve your problem verbally. It leaves out the part where they saw your head off and publish a video of the decapitation on the internet. It also leaves out the slightest possibility that dropping an atomic bomb on an island ruled by nationalist fanatics could yield a peaceful nation friendly to the nation that bombed it.
As for charges that I am an angry name-caller, whatever. Read all of my posts and you will find that I am always respectful. Even when I am, in truth, angry - I reign it in and I am almost always composed. Calling someone a liberal is not “name-calling.” During political discourse, it is often verbally expedient to classify groups of people. If someone is, for all intensive purposes, a liberal - it is not “name-calling” to call them that. The word “liberal” is just an adjective. In the previous paragraph when I mentioned “peacekeeping minor-rapists,” that wasn’t really an insult or a label so much as it was just an invocation of fact. It’s not necessarily my job to explain to people the ways in which people are liberal or peacekeeping minor-rapists. I may choose to do that sometimes, but a lot of times people already know what makes the person liberal or a minor-raping peacekeeper. So, I don’t really need to explain it.
I asked the reader to send comments directly to me at my email because I didn’t really like the idea of my blog becoming his platform. However, as long as the comments section looks like a message board with many participants and not just a megaphone for the intellectually deficient I will leave the comments alone. I encourage participation and engagement on my blog, but if one person has a whole lot to say - he needs to get his own blog.

This week’s issue of LEO is ridiculous at best, deceptive at worst. The front cover has a picture of Anne Northup at last week’s press conference outside the LEO office. “Your tax dollars at work!” it declares.
Can I ask what the $%&# that means? Last week all of Congress was on vacation. Part of Northup’s vacation was spent at a press conference calling LEO Founder Yarmuth on his liberalism. Is there some sort of crime here? Why not show a picture of Anne Northup taking a nap on her couch and put a headline up that says, “Asleep at the Wheel!”?
The cover story is, of course, ridiculous as well. I’m just baffled by the tax dollars cover headline.
Then I thought that maybe they were referring to the fact that a Northup campaign staffer needs a security guard to retrieve back-issues of LEO and take them to be photocopied. LEO says it is to ensure the safety of the issues, but I think the security guard is more necessitated by the possibility that some left wing fringe lunatic (a.k.a. “liberal Democrat”) might attack the staffer while he tries to do his job. Regardless, I thought maybe Cary Stemle of LEO was saying that the guard is a waste of taxpayer money. However, I really don’t understand why he would say that because Northup for Congress is ultimately paying for the security guard. Northup for Congress doesn’t have any “tax dollars” in its bank account. It’s all campaign contributions.
Bottom line: LEO’s grasping to make something out of nothing. They’re trying to make Northup look bad for unmasking Yarmuth’s liberalism. Liberals have to hide their liberalism in order to get elected, and they do not like being exposed. LEO and the rest of Louisville’s liberals are just mad.
It sucks that I have to talk about this on the day that Josh Northup was found dead, but I’m not the one who puts out the ridiculous paper. It must be responded to, though, and that’s what I’m here to do.
Keep them in your prayers. Frankly, the people at LEO and John Yarmuth need our prayers also. They’re wrong and they need to be shown the way.

Keep Rep. Anne Northup and her family in your prayers. Her son Joshua, 30, was found dead this morning at his apartment in Louisville. It appears to have been from natural causes.
He didn’t show up to work yesterday or today and his Humana coworkers got concerned. Robert “Woody” Northup then went to check on his son at home and found him dead.
Just pray for them all over the next few days. It’s tragic, and they’ll need help getting through this tough time.

Any rational person who has ever read LEO Weekly knows what a dimwit John Yarmuth is. Up until a few years ago, liberal editor John Yarmuth wrote on “Hot Coals” every week. Truth be told, his ideas have infected thousands upon thousands of young Louisvillians. The paper is available for free on countless street corners in Louisville and just about every restaurant in the city it seems. Inside you find senseless run-ons by John Yarmuth, Molly Ivins, and numerous other intellectual lightweights. For every poor, young kid in the city, though, it is something to do. Thousands, maybe even millions (?), of people have been influenced in one way or another by the ideals of the paper.
Of course, in order to make some money, the paper had to take ads for an “Adults Only” section. How many of our children have been exposed to sexual perversion for the first time by John Yarmuth’s LEO? How many youngsters called the 800 and 900 numbers listed in the back accompanied by tempting images?
It is a serious issue to consider. Hasn’t Yarmuth’s work contributed to moral decline? This is all aside from the fact that just about every idea he ever wrote about could have been written by a fifth-grader. Part of the problem is the insane availability and distribution of the paper. It’s everywhere. They practically shove it in your face. Once you flip to the end you run into adult advertisements, no matter how old you are. All to turn a profit (or break even, if that).
Yarmuth said that he would own up to all of his columns if Anne would own up to all her votes in Congress over the last ten years. Northup called him on it today. She presented a stack of papers detailing her votes to Louisville today. Yarmuth now has to reveal every word. Unfortunately for him, he is going to look like a fool when this is all said and done. Frankly, I’m surprised Louisville Democrats even let him run.
The only way Northup (and Louisville) loses is if Conservatives and Republicans do not vote on November 7, 2006. I would be embarassed to be represented in Congress by John Yarmuth. You?

Hot Air covers the idea of the bin Laden trail going cold and the unit devoted to finding him being, how do you say it, discontinued?
Sounds to me like manipulation of the press. If bin Laden relaxes a little after reading this morning’s Treason Times, he may come out of his cave for some sunshine. I bet we have a crazy Jack Bauerish secret team crawling around Afghanistan ready to pounce on this guy. I’m talking about guys who can like eat dirt and bugs and stuff, and like drink urine and whatnot.
In any event I bet bin Laden goes down before Bush leaves office. They might know where he is right now, they might not. If they do, then they’re using bin Laden for intelligence gathering opportunities. If they don’t, they will before Bush leaves because if the country goes nuts and elects a Democrat all hell could break loose.
The flip side to that is that if we get bin Laden then the country may come to believe that the Republicans’ strengths regarding terror and war are no longer unnecessary.

I just wanted to point out a couple of good articles on Mitch McConnell (R-KY) becoming the next Senate Majority Leader. Chances are good that he will succeed Bill Frist (R-TN) at the post.
This isn’t exactly news, but it is some decent reading for the mid-week weekend if you haven’t read the articles already.
One is from October, 2005 and The Hill.
The other is from June 2, 2006 and National Journal.
Thanks to Colonel Steve for pointing out the latter (a long time ago).
