It’s even more difficult in this case when we’re comparing politicians, TV personalities, radio hosts, and columnists. Still, somebody had to do it, so… Honorable mentions: Alicia Colon, Ted Cruz, Bill Flores, Devin Nunes, David Rivera, Leslie Sanchez 20) Francisco “Quico” Canseco: Congressman 19) […]

 

RWN’s Michelle Malkin Interview #3

Posted on by John Hawkins

John Hawkins:: One thing you’ve covered on your blog is the number of liberals throwing food, pies mainly, at conservative speakers.

An Interview With Glenn Reynolds

Posted on by John Hawkins

John Hawkins:: So how did a University of Tennessee law professor become the godfather of conservative blogging? Glenn Reynolds:: Beats me, especially as I don’t think I’m really a “conservative” in any meaningful sense. At least when you apply the term “conservative” to describe someone who supports gay marriage, the legality of cloning, and the eventual modification […]

 

CLASS Act Is Dead, but Obama Won’t Repeal It

Posted on by Debra Saunders

It says something about the brazen attitude of American politicians that Congress enacted a measure to create a program that was impossible to implement — and named it the CLASS Act. CLASS stands for Community Living Assistance Services and Support, a program that was supposed to offer voluntary long-term care insurance to workers who are […]

Gingrich challenging the Florida delegate allocation?

Posted on by TrogloPundit

Well this is interesting: The Newt Gingrich campaign is gearing up to challenge the results of the Florida Republican presidential primary based on the Republican National Committee’s own rules which state that no contest can be winner-take-all prior to April 1, 2012.

Surprise! Harry Reid, Democrats, Say No To Any 2012 Or 2013 Budget Bill

Posted on by William Teach

This is getting rather repetitive (Washington Examiner) “Let’s see it,” a frustrated Sen.

In recent days Sessions, the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, has been asking, pushing, pleading, […]

Obama Courts the Glitz Elite

Posted on by Brent Bozell

While Democrats mock Mitt Romney for his alleged lack of interest in the “very poor” and focus their political pitch on income inequality, one can’t help noticing the Obamas running around to $35,000-a-head fundraisers with the very rich and very famous in New York City and Hollywood. Michelle Obama kicked off February with an exclusive […]

 

Admission: Journalists are Liberals Not Interested in Facts and Truth

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Polk Award-Winning Rolling Stone writer Michael Hastings made a startling set of admissions on CSPAN, recently.

Supreme Court Justice Ginsberg To Egypt: “Don’t Look To That Stuffy Old US Constitution As A Model”

Posted on by William Teach

MEMRI has the video of an interview with sitting US Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg with Al-Hayat TV on January 30, 2012.

It’s Come To This: Komen Foundation Has To Do Damage Control

Posted on by William Teach

What kind of world are we living in where the Susan G.

Eric Holder May Have Helped Criminals Murder Hundreds Of People, But He’s The One Who’s Upset…

Posted on by John Hawkins

At a minimum, Eric Holder should have to resign over Operation Fast and Furious. It happened on his watch, in his Justice Department, and people are dead as a result. On the other hand, if Holder actually knew about it, then there should be a serious discussion about whether he should spend time in jail […]

 

Jesus Didn’t Call For Socialism

Posted on by John Hawkins

One thing I can’t help but notice about politics is that conservatives and liberals have a very different approach to Christianity. Conservatism is generally friendly to Christianity, while liberalism is actively hostile towards it. Attacking Christianity is frowned upon amongst conservatives, while it happens so often with liberals that they don’t even bat an eye […]
