Well the time has finally come to unveil what we have been working on! The National Republicrat. I’ve had people tell me that it would be cool if we had a venue in which both Republicans and Democrats could write, post, comment and have open discussions. Well, now this can happen on one site! We have Democratic, Republican, and Independent bloggers all at one location. So, whatever your flavor is, we’ve got it! You can also chat with our bloggers via our new forums (coming very shortly!).

So while we may still do a bit of posting here, the majority will be done at The National Republicrat.

Please, come check us out…

Stay tuned….

A spokesman for the Little Rock Police said there were no “heated words” from the suspect who was killed in a shootout with police after a 30 mile car chase, and he was not recognized by the staff.

More information is needed to determine the motive of the shooter. Was he carrying a personal grudge against Gwatney, or was this attack motivated by politics?

This Wizbang Blog post shows that the lefties aren’t waiting to find out. They are already blaming Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Michelle Malkin and calling for the wholesale shutdown of conservative Talk Radio.

The level of acrimony between the extremes of the left and right in America have increased over the years but so far have been confined to a war of words on blogs and in the editorial pages of newspapers. If this killing is politically motivated it would signal a troublesome escalation.

Are we headed for a civil war in America?

Check back Friday or Saturday and see what all the hype is about…

Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs and dirty words, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital Sunday, a spokesman confirmed to Reuters. He was was 71.

Carlin, who had a history of heart problems, died at St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman Jeff Abraham told Reuters.

Known for his edgy, provocative material, Carlin achieved status as an anti-Establishment icon in the 1970s with stand-up bits full of drug references and a routine about seven dirty words you could not say on television. A regulatory battle over a radio broadcast of his “Filthy Words” routine ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court.
