Year: 2008

Although I’d be shocked if any of them admitted it, liberals regularly try to drive conservative women out of politics. They criticize their looks, their children, aim the foulest insults at them, photoshop them into porn, threaten to rape them and do anything and everything they can to intimidate them out of politics. In other […]

Our crooked, soon to be, Commander-in-Chief may get away free and clear with deliberately taking a potentially staggering amount of fraudulent contributions, The Federal Election Commission is unlikely to conduct a potentially embarrassing audit of how Barack Obama raised and spent his presidential campaign’s record-shattering windfall, despite allegations of questionable donations and accounting that had […]

Over at the LA Times, they’re bemoaning the failure of California’s citizens to take an axe to one of the building blocks of society by supporting gay marriage. Let’s talk a little about that. The supporters of gay marriage typically act in a deceptive and/or repulsive manner. Whether it’s simply ignoring the law, like Gavin […]

Tonight on Right Wing News Radio at Blogtalkradio, I talked about the future of the conservative movement, conservatives vs. reformers, Republican leadership races, what will happen when Barack takes charge, Dems vs. Dems, and a few other assorted, sundry topics. Don’t miss it.

I continue to shake my head as the bailout fever continues to grow: President-elect Barack Obama yesterday urged President Bush to support immediate aid for struggling automakers and back a new stimulus package, even as congressional Democrats began drafting legislation to give the Detroit automakers quick access to $25 billion by adding them to the […]

It looks like we will have fewer veterans to honor on November 11 in the future. Current results of a poll on Military.com: When I think of President Obama as my commander-in-chief… I’m filled with pride. I look forward to serving under him. 19% I’m worried and doubt I’ll re-up when my time comes. 53% […]

During the campaign, vicious, nasty, vile, disgusting bilge got fed to the press and blogs, namely Andrew Sullivan and his buddies at Daily Kos, from the Obama campaign. Barack Obama always distanced himself from the smears, gravely clucking about the personal attacks. He undermined his above-it-all aura with his not-so-subtle flipping of the bird. His […]

Well, Barack Obama is our new President-elect and George Bush is twiddling his thumbs and waiting for January so he can go back to Crawford. Shockingly, well to incredibly gullible people who don’t understand the basics of how the country works, Bush has not merged our country with Mexico and Canada. Those of us who […]

American Express became a bank today. Yes, indeed. They want their fists on that super-secret Fed money–also known as your tax dollars. Just so we’re clear: These would be the institutions that lobbied Congress to make filing bankruptcy more difficult and getting a fresh start nearly impossible. And Congress passed the law. And President Bush […]

David Brooks, who can pretty much be counted on to love any idea that loses elections for Republicans, lays out the fight for the soul of the Republican Party as he sees it, It’s only been a week since the defeat, but the battle lines have already been drawn in the fight over the future […]

A large gang of militant perverts has attacked a church congregation in Lansing, Michigan. Right Michigan reports: On Sunday, November 9, 2008 Michigan liberals sat peacefully through announcements, worship and prayer for the sick, our nation and our President-elect before staging a coordinated, disgusting and repulsive attack on worshipers and the broader concept of the […]

On September 29th, I wrote, Let me make a simple prediction; John McCain backs the bailout, he loses the election. Guess what? John McCain lost the election and the conventional wisdom (and it’s correct in this case) is that it was because of the bailout. Then back on October 3, I wrote… There’s supposed to […]

Yesterday, I endorsed Newt Gingrich for RNC Chairman — but, that was before I knew Michael Steele was going to be seriously pursuing the job as well, A behind-the-scenes battle to take the reins of the Republican National Committee is taking off between former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael S. […]

I rank my favorite blogs and columnists every quarter, but I rarely take the time to hit the best non-blog political sites. I guess I figure they don’t need the help, but there are some very good ones out there that deserve more attention — or more aptly, all the attention they are already getting […]

I had the occasion to attend a mini-reunion of some of my old friends from the Army. About 12 of us gathered at a restaurant in Birmingham to tell stories about each other and absent comrades and remark about how old we were all looking. Anyway, it was nice to see them all again. As […]

Up until this weekend, there had been interestingly few conservative columnists and bloggers offering their opinion of Tuesday’s election; I suspect this was because we were still recovering from the shock and despondency. I’ll admit that in my present state of mind, all I want to do is hear Newt Gingrich, Laura Ingraham, Michelle Malkin […]

Bill Ayers has finally had his say. I’ll leave it you to read (and heave) the whole thing if you have the stomach for it. Irony, is obviously not a strong suit with Ayers: In a robust and sophisticated democracy, political leaders – and all of us – ought to seek ways to talk with […]

Another shot at the rubes and yahoos who, he says, are ruining the Republican Party: Some of the Republicans’ afflictions are self-inflicted. Some conservatives who are gluttons for punishment are getting a head start on ensuring a 2012 drubbing by prescribing peculiar medication for a misdiagnosed illness. They are . . . unhinged by their […]

Public service can be thankless work if you’re a conservative who lives the values. Your very existence is viewed as a threat to the power brokers and the entrenched smarty-pants set. This country is still a Republic governed by and for the people. I thought it might be nice to let Sarah Palin know that […]

Remember after Bush was reelected, how a bunch of long-faced moonbats posted pictures of themselves holding signs expressing their hatred of the President and irritatingly apologizing to the world for living in a country that would elect him? Now that their own candidate has won with a similar percentage of the popular vote, suddenly they […]

Look who’s crawling back out from under their rocks: “For nine months, I kept quiet,” Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said today at Mosque Maryam in Chicago, “because I saw that the good words that I spoke about this beautiful young man” — President-elect Obama — “at our Saviours’ Day convention and the way […]

There has been a lot of talk over the last few years about the GOP “brand,” but few people have gone into any sort of depth on the subject. So, let’s take a little time to think about the GOP and branding. What Is The GOP Brand Promise? First off, what is the “GOP Brand […]

John McCain’s chief strategist, Steve Schmidt, encapsulates everything that’s wrong with the GOP in this one excerpt from his interview with The Daily Beast, The moment that I will look back at as the moment deep in my gut that I knew, was September 29, when I was flying on a plane with Governor Palin […]

One of the things I’ve been saying for quite a while is that gay marriage is just another stop on the slippery slope, not an end point. In other words, if we have legalized gay marriage, we will have legalized polygamy relatively soon afterwards and then next, eventually, we’ll end up with every other bizarre […]

“As Barack Obama shifts from a waking dream to the real world, he faces the near-virtual reality of climate change. He has to move decisively.” (Ian McEwan, “A New Dawn,” Wall Street Journal, Nov. 8/9.) What is near-virtual reality? I’m fascinated that McEwan starts his sermon upholding his belief in man-made global warming by quoting […]

I regularly poll right-of-center bloggers on a variety of different issues and over the next couple of months, there are going to be some fantastic “end-of-year” polls that I’ll be doing. About 10 days ago, I noticed Rick Moran at Right Wing Nuthouse publicly wondering if I’d deliberately left him off my blogger mailing list. […]

The silence from John McCain regarding his own campaign members savaging Sarah Palin deafens. What rock is Senator McCain hiding under and why can’t he extricate himself for a moment to defend his running-mate? Welcome to being a friend of John McCain, Sarah. Don’t worry, the stab wounds will heal. Once again, John McCain’s actions […]
