The hottest new movie in America is “Watchmen,” which is based on Alan Moore’s graphic novel “of the same name.” Watchmen is often referred to as the best graphic novel of all time, but it doesn’t quite live up to hype. The graphic novel is a bit disorganized, hard to follow at times, jumps around […]

“I just want to make one thing very clear. Folks need to understand what’s happening here, Sean. You’ve already talked about it. This is a systematic effort, I think, very well planned out to distract. They’re saying, “Oh, yeah, prices are going up for everything you have to pay for. Oh, let’s talk about Rush… […]

I was talking to a very credible Capitol Hill source (who wishes to remain anonymous) today and that person told me a story that just blew my mind. Well actually, it should have blown my mind, but unfortunately, it is the sort of laziness and terrible messaging that we have too often seen from the […]

“Look at the incredible decline in the stock market, in all indices, since the inauguration of the president, with the drop accelerating when the budget plan came to light because of the massive fear and indecision the document sowed: Raising taxes on the eve of what could be a second Great Depression, destroying the profits […]

Although I think the Democratic attacks on Rush make for dumb political strategy, the RNC could learn something from the “Send Rush a message” contest that the Democratic Party is running, We’ll go through all of the slogans you submit, and the winner will have his or her submission appear on a billboard in Rush […]

“Liberals hate religion because politics is a religion substitute for liberals and they can’t stand the competition.” — Ann Coulter More proof that Ann was right yet again, Guess where those votive candles were on sale? Hint: It’s an extremely liberal city in the US and probably the least friendly place to Christianity and mainstream […]

Barack Obama’s administration is tanking the stock market. The massive deficits and new government programs, the talk about bank nationalization, the talk about a trillion dollar tax hike, bailouts, the new regulations they’re discussing, cutting executive pay, etc., etc. What they’re doing, in a terrible economy, is introducing wild new variables and elements of risk […]

“Look, if we could get the Iranian nuclear program stopped with Russian’s helping us in return for selling out the Poles and the Czechs on missile defense, I’m enough of a cynic and a realist to say we would do it the same way that Kissinger agreed to delegitimize and de-recognize Taiwan in return for […]

…to keep tanking the stock market. …to keep creating massive debts our children will have to pay off. …to infringe on the 2nd Amendment rights of Americans. …to lose the war on terrorism and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. …to close Gitmo. …to expand government. …to use the power of government to silence his […]

There has been a lot of excitement from Barack Obama supporters about a new poll that shows he’s more popular than evah! After Barack Obama’s first six weeks as president, the American public’s attitudes about the two political parties couldn’t be more different, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds. Despite the country’s struggling […]

Last week, I had an opportunity to talk to former House Republican Whip, Roy Blunt. Blunt stepped down from his leadership position and is now preparing for a run at the Senate in Missouri. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our conversation. All right, first of all, now the GOP was in control […]

When Michael Steele originally announced his intention to run for RNC Chair, I said some very nice things about him, Michael Steele would be an excellent selection as well. He’s young, charismatic, gets it, likes the blogosphere, is popular with conservatives, and understands how to pitch younger voters. Moreover, when the RNC Chair race turned […]

I was wondering how long it would take the squishy Republicans who despised Sarah Palin and cozied up to Barack Obama during the campaign to come to the realization that they had been completely bamboozled by the most radically liberal President in American history. Well, the scales are finally, at long last, starting to lazily […]

If you’re black and you’re conservative, you belong in the Republican Party — period, end of story. If you’re black and you’re moderate, you should be at least considering voting for the Republican Party. That’s how it should be, but it doesn’t happen, does it? A tiny percentage of black Americans, maybe one in ten […]

“There is a mysterious cycle in human events. To some generations much is given. Of other generations much is expected. This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.” — FDR We Americans, complain though we may, are a generation to which much has been given. We have enjoyed a level of power and prosperity […]

Unfortunately, when the left gets involved in scientific endeavors, science always takes a backseat to their ideology. A perfect example of that would be a piece in the New Scientist called, Porn in the USA: Conservatives are biggest consumers. This article is getting a lot of attention, but there are rather obvious problems with the […]

I was pleased to get an opportunity to once again talk with Michael Medved about his new book, The 10 Big Lies About America: Combating Destructive Distortions About Our Nation. What follows is an edited transcript of our conversation. One thing we’ve heard over and over again is that our ancestors marched across the continent […]

Of late, the Democrats have been working hard to publicly demonize Rush Limbaugh. They’re even running anti-Rush commercials, which admittedly could endanger the Senate seat he holds in Florida — oh wait, he’s not a senator. Come to think of it, he’s not a congressman or governor either. He’s a talk radio host who, despite […]

Question: Andrew Jackson said: “The majority is to govern.” To which, John C. Calhoun replied: “Let it never be forgotten that where the majority rules the minority is the subject.” Calhoun, of course, was the leader of those who advocated “nullification.” The question is: at what point must the conservatives accept that the Democrats won […]

Summing up Obama’s economic beliefs in a single word: “Deadbeatanomics”

“The increase in gun sales is the only genuine economic stimulus that can be credited to Obama.” — Jim Geraghty

Question: “It is not terribly hard to get linked to on a blog, sometimes even large blogs will link and throw a smaller blog lots of traffic. The problem is keeping those readers, so they don’t just drop by to see one article, ignore the rest of your blog, and not return. How can a […]

Question: “Some time ago, you put a list of what would be your 10 favorite countries to live if you couldn’t live in the US. Could you make a list with your 10 favorite states to live in the US?” — gustn Answer: To give you a really accurate answer on this, I’d have to […]

Question: Robert A. Heinlein called our times “The Crazy Years” in his Future History. Has our nation gone crazy” — N. O’Brain Answer: No, just the liberals. Liberalism has gone so far over the rails that most of its famous practitioners should be officially designated as mentally ill — and that includes people like Barack […]

Question: Allow me to expand on that last question… Your thoughts, in 5 sentences or less on each subject below: myspace vs facebook huffpo vs drudge lenders vs borrowers ‘I’m my brother’s keeper’ vs ‘Mind your own bidness.’ And finally, in honor of the upcoming Watchmen release: Rorschach vs Ozymandias” — President_Friedman myspace vs facebook: […]

Over at ABC News they’re running down Obama’s nearly trillion dollar tax hike. That’s right, he has been in office a little over a month and he is not only proposing the largest tax hike in history, he is already proposing a tax hike bigger than most of the world’s economies. Rather than go into […]

This somehow seems oddly appropriate for the wife of the Mayor of San Francisco, although I am a little surprised it’s not a lesbian sex scene, Jennifer Siebel Newsom is the first lady of San Francisco — but she also stars in a very racy romantic comedy. Before Jennifer even met her husband (Mayor Gavin […]

It turns out that all those people who bought guns and ammo after Obama was elected were smart because despite all the rhetoric to the contrary, the Democrats are proving to be just as big a group of gun grabbers as they’ve ever been. Obama has been in office just over a month and already […]
