In case you’re wondering how the Department of Homeland Security spends the mountains of tax money shoveled into it — since our rulers clearly have no interest in defending the border or inconveniencing Islamic terrorists — have a look at the new supplement to the Newspeak dictionary entitled the Domestic Extremism Lexicon. This document is […]

W is gone, but his shadow Secretary of State is still at work, undermining American interests while sucking up to hostile tyrants. Now Jimmy Carter has taken his one-man traveling circus to Bolivia, which Castro knockoff Evo Morales has been driving ever deeper into socialist poverty, while exporting cocaine to the USA and kicking our […]

For the second straight month, home sales have increased: There was another ray of hope Monday for the distressed housing market: the National Association of Realtors said the volume of signed contracts to buy previously occupied homes rose for the second month in a row. Homebuyers taking advantage of bargain prices, low interest rates and […]

Arlen Specter the new Flavor of the Month on the Sunday talk circuit demonstrated why he’s come back to his ideological home in the Democrat party. On Meet the Press, he said: “If we had pursued what President Nixon declared in 1970 as the war on cancer, we would have cured many strains. I think […]

Jim DeMint, perhaps because he was stung by the criticism of his, “I would rather have 30 Republicans in the Senate” wrote one of the best columns I have seen in a long time. Here’s the key excerpt, To win back the trust of the American people, we must be a “big tent” party. But […]

There are plenty of rumors floating around that the GOP Establishment wants Tom Ridge or Jim Gerlach to get in the Pennsylvania primary to run against Pat Toomey. Now, I don’t know how solid these rumors are nor do I know whether Ridge or Gerlach is seriously considering taking on Toomey. Moreover, it’s a free […]

I went to the NC Coastal Conservative Conference on Friday. The Leadership Institute did training, Americans for Prosperity was involved, there was a debate, and they had some speakers afterwards for dinner (which I missed), but there was something in particular that was discussed that deserved some more attention. At one point, there was a […]

Would you be surprised if the most ethical Congress ever to basically allow lobbyists to write the new climate change bill, otherwise known as the “Soaking The American People For A Fake Issue” bill? Would it surprise you that the party who railed at the influence of lobbyists would allow this? I wouldn’t. Lobbyists help […]

The most ethical Congress ever. Draining the swamp. Doing away with the culture of corruption. Insert whatever Pelosi talking point you want, Nancy appears to want to insulate federal lawmakers from being investigated House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is working to buffer lawmakers from federal investigators. This is a bad idea. Special legal protections for politicians […]

As many of you have no doubt heard, Jack Kemp passed away this week-end. Many people remember Jack Kemp as Bob Dole’s VP, but he was also one of the greatest champions of supply side economics during the Reagan years. This country has been incredibly prosperous since Ronald Reagan was first elected in 1980 and […]

Theodore Dalrymple (tweeted by Gerard): It is curious how, when it comes to rape, the liberal press, and presumably liberals themselves, suddenly appreciate the value of punishment. They do not say of rape that we must understand the causes of rape before we punish it; that we must understand how men develop into rapists before […]

Via The Raleigh N&O: John Edwards marched toward the White House in 2006 seeking an arsenal of millions collected a little at a time. He also gathered more ammunition, about $11 million, collected in larger chunks by nonprofit groups conceived and operated to further his aspirations. He also courted a girlfriend. Federal investigators are trying […]

Not that the True Believers actually ever “do something!” themselves, since they cannot afford it right now, and, anyhow, government should “do something!,” especially to those Evil Oil Companies which let the True Believers drive the SUVs that they cannot afford to give up because little Henry has soccer practice, darling Barbara has ballet, and […]

Woe be unto us, when we call skepticism gullibility, and gullibility skepticism… Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.), chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, told CNSNews.com that to attain that reduction, it is “likely true” that energy costs for Americans will go up. “I think the system is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and […]

It’s supposed to be a listening tour to accompany their launch of the National Council for a New America. So, where do they launch it? With the party at its lowest standing in several decades, Republicans on Saturday launched a listening tour in the heart of the Democratic suburbs, where several of the party’s leading […]

Charles, at LGF, is concerned that the “extreme right white supremacist” (his phrase) BNP party in England is gaining political ground. If you check out the party’s blog, though, racial purity a la the Nazis or the KKK is not part of the party’s platform. As far as I can tell, it wants to close […]

Commenting on a link Glenn Reynolds provided to an Examiner post requesting that the President and Speaker Pelosi apologize for smearing the Tea Party movement, his reader Marc Greendorfer offered: I can’t recall a single instance during his eight years where President Bush derided American citizens who took to the streets to protest his administration. […]

Since the media has ignored what is important about Justice Souter’s resignation, I decided to make a quick video. Please rate on YouTube.

Last night on FoxNews’s O’Reilly Factor with Laura Ingraham substituting for the show’s eponymous host, feminist Gloria Feldt said Miss California, Carrie Prejean, needed a “heart transplant.” So, since that young woman has offered a position on gay marriage nearly identical to that of the President of the United States, does this feminist believe that […]

Can’t believe I forgot to mention this last week: Dennis Miller got an email from Admiral Stockdale‘s son, thanking Miller for passionately and articulately defending his father during the 1992 Presidential election. Miller’s famous monologue at the time marked his the beginning of his turn from left to right; he was clearly moved to hear […]

When I was in college, I studied Southern Long Fist Kung Fu for more than a year and my teacher told me something that I never forgot. He said that when you’re being attacked, the aggressor sets the rules and if you want to survive, you have to play by those rules. In other words, […]

Eat your heart out, liberal media. Your hand-picked creation, Barack Obama, is America’s leader, Democrats just about have a filibuster-proof majority in Congress – and mainstreaming media is tanking like never before. According to Newsmax.com: MSNBC and CNN’s primetime news programs have suffered an incredible nosedive in ratings since Barack Obama was elected president, Newsmax […]

There’s some interesting stuff out there to read about the Chrysler bankruptcy, like people asking “why wasn’t this done in the beginning”? Simple answer – in the beginning there was no way to secure the UAW a majority stake in the company. Now, as Felix Salmon points out, that’s been accomplished: The broad outlines of […]

I had a choice of writing about the recession of 1920, or I could simply post a great video by Thomas E. Woods, Jr. I chose the video. Enjoy.

Obviously the Moonbat Messiah is not showering $billions of our money on failed auto companies without expecting something in return. He wants what liberals always want — coercive power: [D]espite Obama’s protestations that he has no interest in running auto companies, it’s clear that —with huge sums of federal tax money sunk into Chrysler and […]

The audacity of arrogance that characterizes this nightmare of Democrat rule marches forward in Washington state, where Governor Christine Gregoire signed a bill pledging Washington’s electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the national popular vote — the will of Washington voters be damned. This contempt for her own constituents’ right to vote is a […]

You might be familiar with the #TCOT (Top Conservatives on Twitter) phenomenon. If you’re not, know that conservatives found a simple way to identify like-minded individuals and share information. (For more details, read “5 Easiest Ways to Advance Conservatism on Twitter,” “The Top Places to Find News You Can Use” and “How do you find […]

Watching what President Barack Obama is doing with the country makes me think of Venezuela under Chavez. Is it any wonder they’re buddies? They certainly have enough commonalities that many people see the two together in heart, mind, and action: But times have changed and so have strategies. Saul Alinsky, radical of the ’60s, author […]
