“You think I am brave because I carry a gun; well, your fathers are much braver because they carry responsibility, for you, your brothers, your sisters, and your mothers. And this responsibility is like a big rock that weighs a ton. It bends and it twists them until finally it buries them under the ground. […]

I just got off of another teleconference with John McCain. Here are my notes, not quotes, from the teleconference. McCain’s Opening Statement I gave a speech this morning about how I would want America to look after my first term in office in 2013. I want people to see what I want to do. By […]

Take a look at this excerpt from a story about Norfolk State University and tell me who has the best interests of these college students at heart: the professor who was fired for flunking too many of them or the administrators who want them to be given passing grades despite the fact that they’re not […]

Do you think John McCain’s political views could best be described as those of a relatively typical… Conservative Republican? Moderate Democrat?    Free polls from Pollhost.com

You can always see how liberals think they’re doing politically based on the sort of articles that appear on the Lefty blogs. When liberals are down in the dumps and think they’re in trouble, you see a lot of posts about conspiracy theories and revolution. On the other hand, when libs think they’re doing well, […]

As I’ve said time and time again, one of biggest mistakes that the RINOs in DC make is that they buy, hook line and sinker, into the whole, “Who else are they going to vote for?” fallacy. In other words, they believe that they don’t have to work to keep their base happy. Instead, they […]

Back in late March, I mentioned that my buddy Skye from Midnight Blue was gratuitously assaulted by a “peace” protester. “More chillingly, last weekend a man attending a Chester County Peace Movement (CCPM) peace vigil in West Chester, Pennsylvania, assaulted a citizen journalist and blogger. At 12:10 PM, blogger “Skye” was videotaping an exchange between […]

“Clearly, some sizable portion of the Republican base is less than thrilled with McCain as their nominee. Ironically, in this context, they face this choice partly because the social conservative vote was split among many candidates, most prominently Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, allowing the “moderate” McCain to win. Regardless, however, only McCain and Obama […]

“I do not think the President of the United States should be a liar, and believe that the overwhelming majority of U.S. citizens agree with me.” — Jimmy Carter Now, from my interview with Robert Novak, John Hawkins: In your book, you really go out of your way to emphasize how often Jimmy Carter lied […]

“Like many tired old pop stars with nothing better to do, Paul McCartney has ostentatiously embraced the phony environmentalism craze. Like the rest of them, his “carbon footprint” remains many times larger than those of us peasants, especially after his new $164,000 hybrid Lexus limousine was delivered by jet, creating 100 times more of the […]

You’ve GOTTA watch this, if only because of this Clinton loving pastor’s incredibly bizarre allegations that Obama and Wright have had a long gay affair and that Oprah Winfrey wants to be Secretary of State. Where did he even come up with this stuff? Hat tip to Drudge for the video.

Not only is the GOP losing special elections, it’s managing to lose elections in districts where its candidates should be winning by 10 points without even campaigning, Democrat Travis Childers won Tuesday’s Mississippi special election runoff for Sen. Roger Wicker’s (R) former House seat, handing Democrats the biggest of their three special election takeovers this […]

Question: “Not sure if you have mentioned this on RightWingNews, but there are rumors out there that Huckabee is at the top of McCain’s short list of VP picks. Can you comment, please?

Jim Geraghty on the big win for Hillary Clinton in West Virginia. He makes one valuable point for the Democratic echo chamber: You’ll see the press, and Obama’s surrogates (perhaps I repeat myself) insist that tonight’s result means nothing, and indeed, in the delegate count, the effect is marginal. But superdelegates ought to be sweating. […]

Since liberals have already gotten even more hypersensitive than normal about any sort of criticism aimed at Barack Obama, I thought it would be fun to make a 30 second video that would really p*ss them off. Plus, let’s face it, Hopey Hussein McChangeunity is a huge pansy, especially compared to John McCain. Heck, even […]

Obama’s 57 states screw-up really caught my eye and I’ll tell you why: not only did he miss how many states we have, he missed it really badly and didn’t catch his own error after he said it. That means that it wasn’t just a slip of the tongue and I have trouble believing that […]

Over at the Daily Kos, diarist nepos libertas veered all the way from the standard liberal sympathy towards Palestinian terrorists, to anti-Zionism, to wacko conspiracy theories and flat out anti-semitism. Here are some excerpts from his post, Eulogy before the Inevitability of Self-Destruction: The Decline and Death of Israel …Before the covetous Zionist movement multiply […]

The New York Times put together a piece called “‘Mad Pride’ Fights a Stigma.” Part of the article focuses on people working to de-stigmatize mental illness — which is fine as far as it goes. The world is full of mentally ill people who aren’t dangerous and who lead full, productive lives. Just as an […]

It’s really, really early, but just for the heck of it, here are my first election projections for the White House in November. The political environment is still heavily tilted against the GOP. It may even be as bad as it was back in 2006. Additionally, having a President as unpopular as George Bush and […]

The Wall Street Journal reports reports on a bill that looks like it will soon pass through Congress with enough votes to withstand a Bush veto. Unions keep losing membership as a share of the national workforce, which explains why organized labor’s main political focus is changing the rules to force more workers into unions. […]

So, I’m walking through the super market and I see the newest copy of the Globe, which has, among other things, this, on the cover, Now, after seeing that, you’re probably wondering what it’s all about. You’re probably thinking, “Has Obama been murdering gay people in his spare time?” or alternately, “I knew that guy […]

On the one hand, the more liberals (and who else would buy into something this stupid) who get on board with this group, the better, “May we live long and die out” is the unofficial motto of a new movement that seeks to improve the Earth’s ecosystem by ensuring that the human species does not […]
