It’s the last day of the Rightroots 15 day challenge and unless we have a big burst, we’re not going to make our 100 donation per candidate total. Do you want to help us meet our goal? Well, here’s the best way to do it. Chip in small donations to the following candidates: 1) Michele […]

One of the things that the Democratic Party seems to perpetually be trying to do is reach out to religious Americans. Unfortunately, they usually don’t have much luck because they treat religious people like robots who’ll respond to the right piece of code. It’s like, “Well, if we show up in a few churches right […]

Mike Bouchard, who’s running against Debbie Stabenow in Michigan, has put together a video pitch to encourage people to give to him through Rightroots. We’re down to 36 hours to go on the 15 day challenge. If you haven’t chipped in yet — or even if you have — it would really help us out […]

Beth over at My Vast Wing Conspiracy, (a blog that I like, by the way) took great offense at part of the Blogger Boobygate! post yesterday, in which I said that there was nothing wrong with women using their looks to draw traffic. Here’s some of Beth’s furious diatribe: “You know, I don’t get emotional […]

Here’s the eeeeeevvvvviiiiiiilllllllll “torture” that John McCain, Andrew Sullivan, Ted Kennedy, & Company think is just too cruel to be used on terrorists who saw the heads off of Americans and support flying planes into our buildings: “The techniques sought by the CIA are: induced hypothermia; forcing suspects to stand for prolonged periods; sleep deprivation; […]

“In late 2000, even as the result of the presidential election was still being contested in court, George W. Bush’s chief pollster Matt Dowd was writing a memo for Rove that would reach a surprising conclusion. Based on a detailed examination of poll data from the previous two decades, Dowd’s memo argued that the percentage […]

“There’s a great amount of odious liberal condescension at work here. No matter how many times Jihadists say “We are killing you because Allah commands it,” liberals keep saying back, “Oh, pish-posh. We know what’s really driving you — a need for more day-care and infrastructure development.” Don’t liberals believe in actually listening to the […]

Folks, we have 52 hours to go on the Rightroots challenge and although we’ve raised more than $40,000, as you can see, we still have some work to do to get all of our candidates up to 100 contributions each. Mike Whalen (IA-01): 42 Chris Wakim (WV-01): 44 Scott Tipton (CO-3): 46 Jeff Lamberti (IA-03): […]

I’m not sure that there could possibly be a dumber argument for coddling terrorists than the one made by Lindsey Graham, who, as per usual, is playing Robin to John McCain’s Batman, this time on the interrogation of terrorists. Here’s Graham: “Weakening the Geneva Convention protections is an unnecessary step and will put our military […]

Including today, we’ve got 3 days left on the Rightroots 15 day challenge. So far, during the challenge, we’ve raised almost $40,000 for our candidates, but we’re still short of our 100 donations per candidate goal. Can we hit it? Absolutely. We just need about 790 more donations to make it, which isn’t as much […]

It all started when a group of liberal bloggers got to meet with Bill Clinton. Ann Althouse, like many people, couldn’t help but notice that the girl directly in front of Bubba was attractive, pushing her perky ta-tas out, and — as a side note — it looks like Bill is trying to decide whether […]

“I saw this while driving down 3rd Ave. here in Huntington, W.Va. For some reason I thought even the liberals in this city were intelligent enough not to spew this kind of filth. Not only is it not below them, they’re spray-painting it. If ever you were thinking “Maybe leftists don’t hate America after all” […]

Do illegal immigrants depress wages for American workers? You better believe it. Just in case you need convincing, here’s a little proof. “Since the mid-1990s, Stillmore has grown dependent on the paychecks of Mexican workers who originally came for seasonal farm labor, picking the area’s famous Vidalia onions. Many then took year-round jobs at the […]

This is mildly disconcerting: “According to a new report put out by the German Statistics Office, Germans have the most pessimistic view of the future among all Europeans. The latest census shows that Germans — especially young people and eastern Germans — believe living conditions are much worst than they actually are. …And more and […]

Question: “How do you see the next two years in politics breaking down if the Democrats do manage to take back one or both Houses of Congress in November? With Bush’s poll numbers as low as they are right now, qualifying him as a near lame-duck already, would anything really be that different? Is anything […]

Question: “Do you think that John McCain’ sensitivty to “torture” by our government is driven by the fact that he was REALLY tortured by the Viet Cong? No Red Hot Chili Peppers from the VC…unless they were being stuffed into some unmentionable place. I respect McCain’s service and the suffering he went through, but it […]

Question: Do you think pro wrestling will be able to make its typical cyclical comeback into the mainstream as it did in the mid 80’s and 90’s? What kind of changes in the industry, talent, or content distribution do you think it would take?” — Mike_M Answer: Wrestling’s popularity is cyclical, but I think two […]

Question: “Does America have the stomach for the war on terror or has the left so emasculated our culture that we no longer have the guts to stand up and fight a real war?” — WSOwen02 Answer: It’s human nature to become complacent and to believe that just because things are going OK right now, […]
