* I’m so sick and tired of conservative w*ssies who abandon anybody on the Right who comes under attack. Get some testicular fortitude weenies * Elected GOPers need to do more Hispanic radio shows, events, etc. If we don’t show and the Dems do, is it any wonder peeps believe the lies? * There won’t […]

Abe Lincoln may have freed all men, but Sam Colt made them equal. — Anonymous The problem gun laws is that too often, they take guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens while the criminals stay armed. For example, let’s say Barack Obama and Company were to have one of their fondest wishes […]

A couple of nights ago, I noticed that when I took my dog Patton outside, he was taking a particular interest in a certain part of my house. Then when I heard a “hiss” come out of that area, I knew a feral cat had gotten under there. Unfortunately, my next door neighbor has gotten […]

Arlen Specter has been in the Senate since 1980. Additionally, he’s 79 years old and has had Hodgkin’s lymphoma. So, he’s had a nice, long run in the Senate. But, solely because he was on track to lose a primary, he switched to the Democratic Party. That was a betrayal of the Republican voters who […]

Seriously, how can anybody favorably compare this hapless doofus to Sarah Palin or Dick Cheney? This guy has made five mistakes for every one Palin made; yet he was treated like some kind of wise-old-hand — as if being an incompetent, lying boob in DC for a long time was the sort of “experience” we […]

Whatever you may think of Michael Savage, banning him from entering Britain is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Sixteen people banned from entering the UK were “named and shamed” by the Home Office today. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said she decided to make public the names of 16 people banned since October […]

One thing that people often miss about politics is that different underlying assumptions on the Left and Right can lead to wildly divergent policies and results. For example, let’s take the issue of corporations using overseas tax shelters. Here’s the Obama/liberal take on the issue: President Obama, flanked by Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and IRS […]

“Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.” — Thomas Paine “You know it took us 80 years to get to where we are today and it’s going to take us 80 years to contain it and start to unravel it. It’s not going to […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

When Bush was in office and the GOP had the power to kill the judicial filibuster via the nuclear option, they chose not to do so, despite the fact that several lower court conservative judges were never seated as a result of that decision. This was another one of those fault lines between conservatives across […]

“The Government has taken tax up to 50 per cent, and if it goes to 51 I will be back in America,” he said at the weekend. “We’ve got 3.5 million layabouts on benefits, and I’m 76, getting up at 6am to go to work to keep them.” — Michael Caine “Bill Maher is a […]

In George Bush’s America, the government worked to kill terrorists and keep them out of the country. In Barack Obama’s America, the government brings the terrorists into and puts them up in hotels. At another point, a questioner earnestly asked of those Guantanamo detainees who are believed to be innocent could be put in a […]

The National Republican Senatorial Committee has an anti-Arlen Specter page up that is purely designed to make liberals angry with him. For example, here’s a video featuring George Bush talking about how wonderful Arlen Specter was from 2004, Here’s another one featuring Rick Santorum talking about how Arlen Specter isn’t a liberal. Now obviously, these […]

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to interview wildly successful radio host Mark Levin, author of the #1 book in the nation, Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our conversation. Enjoy! Let me play devil’s advocate right off the bat here. What would you say to […]

* Just noticed people talking about Obama’s press conference on Twitter and figured I should liveblog it. He just said waterboarding is torture — which, of course, is why lefties keep having it done to them and put it on YouTube. When do we get a lib sticking bamboo shoots under his fingernails? Oh, yes, […]

Arlen Specter jumped ship from the Republican Party for a very simple reason: he was practically guaranteed to lose a Republican primary to Pat Toomey. You can be sure that Specter, in return for his betrayal, received promises of support from Democratic heavyweights if he’s primaried from the Left. However, consider the situation…. #1) Specter […]

Despite the fact that Swine Flu has been a hot topic, I’ve stayed away from writing about it for a simple reason: it’s hard to tell if this is another heavily hyped SARS that will end up killing one person for every 300-400 stories that are written about it — or a real killer that […]

Obama’s Live Action Recreation Of 9/11 In New York yesterday has gotten even more bizarre with revelation that the FAA knew beforehand that the flight would cause a panic, “Federal officials knew that sending two fighter jets and a 747 from the presidential fleet to buzz ground zero and Lady Liberty might set off nightmarish […]

“I would rather have 30 Republicans in the Senate who really believe in principles of limited government, free markets, free people, than to have 60 that don’t have a set of beliefs.” — Jim Demint “(Arlen Specter) is what the party needed to be. They need to cultivate more Specters instead of deriding him as […]

Just yesterday, I wrote a post noting that Arlen Specter could not beat Pat Toomey and that the GOP leadership needs to start thinking of ways to ease him out. Today, the big news is that Arlen Specter is switching to the Democratic Party. Is that coincidence? Yeah, probably is, actually. So, what now? Well […]

This pic was shamelessly stolen from the great Lucianne Goldberg.

In an act of supreme narcissisitic idiocy, one of Barack Obama’s planes did a very low level flight over New York with fighter jets flying close behind. This, quite naturally, created a major panic in New York with people screaming in the streets and buildings being evacuated. So, what was the purpose behind Obama terrifying […]

* Lucky they listened to us and secured our Southern border so people w/ Swine Flu can’t just cross at will and infect Americans…oh wait… * The “eliteness” of America’s “political elite” typically consists only of being better connected and less principled than everyone else * A “constitutional scholar” who believes in a living constitution […]
