‘The Tea Party Movement Is a Women’s Movement’

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

It’s a great piece over at World News and World Report . But for obvious reasons, I REALLY like it (emphasis mine). To the extent that it is run by anyone, the Tea Party movement is–like all great social movements–largely run by women. Many of the movement’s most important political figures, like former Alaska Gov. […]

The Classy Left’s Newest Idea: Masturbate to Christine O’Donnell Day

Posted on by John Hawkins

One of the many weird oddities in the freakshow that we call American politics is that gross sexism is considered mainstream on the Left, yet they incessantly accuse conservatives of being the sexists.

Obama To Continue His Backyard Campaign Stops

Yet, again and again, we are given examples that pundits like Beck and Goldberg are, […]

 

How about a half-page ‘Pledge to America’?

Posted on by Doug Ross

I won’t be quite as harsh on the GOP’s magnum opus as RedState’s Erick Erickson, who calls it “the worst thing to come out of Washington since George McClellan.” Erick must have blocked out DC’s distinguished Mayor Marion Berry. But his point — that the GOP’s effort is mostly “dreck” — is valid. Washington’s so […]

The Astonishing Mediocrity Of The GOP’s Pledge To America

Posted on by John Hawkins

For years now, conservatives have been asking the GOP to come out with another “Contract with America.” Finally they have, and quite frankly, they shouldn’t have bothered.
