Remember when Democrats pretended to run as Conservatives during the 2006 election? Now we have Joe Manchin, who is acting like a TEA Partier Democratic Senate candidate Joe Manchin isn’t letting that kerfuffle over Sarah Palin’s political crosshairs deter his 2nd-Amendment enthusiasm. In a new ad, the West Virginia Governor touts his NRA endorsement, and […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On the heels of this Summer’s Old Media attack of News Corp’s donation of $1 million to the GOP, we discover that billionaire Bill Gates of Microsoft fame has given $1.5 million directly to ABC News so that they’ll cover his personal “news” issue; health conditions of the poor.

Obama Stumps For Joe Klein (D-Fla), Klein Hides

Posted on by William Teach

It seems as if the story about the accusation that the US Chamber Of Commerce is using foreign money for ads is gaining even more legs, though, the majority of the media is shooting the Obama/Dem talking point down. Anyone else besides me getting the feeling that it is simply a distraction from discussing the […]

 

The Network Neutrality Issue In A Nutshell

Posted on by John Hawkins

Network Neutrality is an extraordinarily complex subject. Even explaining it in a way that people can understand is difficult to do. That problem is compounded by the fact that a lot of what you read about net neutrality is just plain old wrong. Perhaps worse yet, given the complexity involved, the government is looking to […]

 

Amsterdam Shows The Futility Of Legalizing Drugs

Posted on by John Hawkins

There’s a contingent out there in American politics that argues we should legalize drugs. The reasons why this isn’t a good idea are legion and arguments in favor of it tend to be rather flimsy once they’re examined. One of them that we often hear is that cannabis is legal in Amsterdam and it’s working […]

 

George Soros Cuts Off Dems’ Allowance

Posted on by E. M. Zanotti

I get the sense, from reading this, that Daddy George Soros lent the Democratic Party his credit card and instead of buying a semester’s worth of books, two school sweatshirts and a medium sized decaf coffee like they were supposed to, they maxed out the card on the political equivalent of hookers and cocaine (which, […]

Obama Falls Out Even With His Base

Posted on by Dave Blount

Comrade Obama has taken time off from his busy vacation schedule to hit the campaign trail for Dem candidates who face the wrath of voters. Yet due to his disastrous performance, he is no longer on the best footing even with other Democrats. With characteristic tact, the Moonbat Messiah berated donors at a $15,200 per […]

The Old Media went into a feeding frenzy when it was revealed that News Corp., the owner of Fox News, had donated $1 million to the Republican Governor’s Association to help GOP candidates this election cycle.

The P.J. O’Rourke Interview

Posted on by John Hawkins

P.J. O’Rourke is not only knowledgable, he’s one of the best writers the Right has ever produced. Additionally, he’s the single best foreign affairs reporter I’ve ever read.

The Hollywood Culture That Spawned Roman Polanski And The Casting Couch: What Liberalism Has Wrought

Posted on by John Hawkins

Liberals push a non-judgmental, anything goes mentality. Can’t take that Christianity stuff seriously. Can’t criticize anyone for how they behave — other than conservatives, of course. Can’t take morality seriously — and on and on it goes. Hollywood is famously liberal and thus, famously decadent and perverse. It just goes with the territory and is, […]

CHURCHVILLE, VA–The ten coldest winter-spring temperatures out of the last 500 in Stockholm, Sweden, were almost all during the Little Ice Age. No surprise there.

Ray LaHood tries to resuscitate the ARC Hudson River tunnel with … bike lanes?

Posted on by Chris Wysocki

OK, not really. But bike lanes in a rail tunnel isn’t the most preposterous idea Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has come up with.

Reid Says Greatest Living Americans Are Senators Byrd and Kennedy?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Harry Reid (D, Nev.) isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, apparently. In an interview with CBN’s David Brody, Senator Reid replied that the greatest living American was Ted Kennedy. Reid then added West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd to the short list. Oddly enough, both of these “greatest living” Senators died earlier this year. In […]

FrumForum Contributor Alex Knepper Fired by Daily Caller in Pedophilia Scandal

Posted on by Donald Douglas

I had an exchange at my blog with Alex Knepper some time back, after California’s Proposition 8 became a national controversy. I don’t dislike Alex. Lately though, on Facebook and Twitter, Alex has come across as extremely combative, for example in response to my essay on Tyler Clementi. I had slammed his arguments as juvenile […]

Video: What We Tea Party Conservatives Believe

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Bill Whittle has a great, great video here helping to explain our conservative views in an intelligent, even soft-spoken, style. This is part one of two, the second to come soon. Progressive ideas have always failed and our ideas are successful every time they are tried. Bill Whittle is the host of PJTVs Afterburner.
