Last week, the Daily Telegraph put out an attention-grabbing list of the 100 most influential conservatives in America. Lists of that sort, by their very nature, tend to be quite arbitrary and debatable, but the Telegraph’s list struck me as being particularly far off the mark. With that in mind, I decided to put together […]

Here’s a breakdown on the electability of the top tier GOP candidates in 2008. Keep in mind that a list like this is, by its very nature, is arbitrary and debatable. Moreover, I’m going to assume that Hillary will be the nominee these candidates would run against which is the most likely bet, but certainly […]

You can learn a lot about liberals from this “when Rosie met Bill story“, “He disgusts me,” O’Donnell recalled saying at the casino show. “And I know I’m not supposed to say this because I’m a good Democrat, but I didn’t want to [talk] to him because he lied to me when he said, ‘I […]

So, I’m looking for video of Jenna Bush on YouTube and I run across a video called, “Reptilian News – Jenna Bush – Reptile Daughter(Predator 2).” I’m not going to bore you with the video, because it’s just Jenna giving an interview about her new book with distortion over her face — but, here’s a […]

Back on July 22, 2006 — I wrote about concerns that I, and other people, had about the way that the Minutemen were handling their money. Here’s a little sample from that post, “I’m a big fan of the Minutemen and think they’ve been doing great work… …(But) where’s the rest of the basic info? […]

House Democrats will hold yet another vote on Iraq War funding. Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House will vote as early as Friday on legislation that would spend $50 billion on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but require that President Bush start bringing troops home.

Friends, In 1927 an American Socialist Norman Thomas admitted the American people would never vote for socialism. But he said that under the name of liberalism Americans would vote for every form of socialism. Thomas, who ran for President six different times, understood the power of incrementalism. He knew that a socialist agenda in America […]

I stole the headline above from Newsbusters because let’s face it, it’s hard to top that one, although I’m not entirely sure that he’s right. I mean, ponzi schemes have proven to be a brilliant scam and these Nigerian spam emails? They’ve turned into a whole industry. So, to be fair and balanced here, I’d […]

“Yeah, but does Rudy endorse Pat Robertson?” — Dan Riehl

In a rather bizarre turn of events, the Tucson Police Department will no longer send the border patrol to pick up illegal aliens at local schools because of a small protest by 100 students, The Tucson Police Department will no longer call the Border Patrol to schools or churches when officers determine that suspects in […]

The latest liberal trend seems be getting waterboarded and then declaring that it’s torture. Code Pink has done it. Some of the posters at the Democratic Underground have done it. One of the columnists at the HuffPo has done it. …which begs a question. If waterboarding is really torture, why are so many people happy […]

The Bush surge continues producing good results, A reduction in violence in Baghdad over the past few months represents a sustainable trend that will allow fewer U.S. troops to protect the Iraqi capital, a top American general said on Wednesday. Major-General Joseph Fil, commander of U.S. forces in Baghdad, said al Qaeda in Iraq no […]

It’s time for me to rank my favorite blogs for the 4th quarter of 2007. Do keep in mind that as the quarter has progressed, some blogs have, of course, moved up and others have dropped, based on how often I visit them, how much I like what I see when I get there, how […]

Saudi cleric Muhammad Al-‘Arifi explains the different ways that men and women discipline each other in radical Muslim culture, “Men beat women more often than women beat men. I said that some women beat their husbands because this happens, but it is rare, and there is no need to hold conferences on wives who beat […]

Rudy Giuliani: Can he close the deal with conservatives who are way off to his right on a wide variety of key issues? Bonus question: Will social conservatives vote for a man who isn’t promising them much and has a personal life that many of them find repellant? Mike Huckabee: Does he have anything to […]

“Dennis Kucinich is on a quest of his own. He sees flying saucers and he acts like one, too.” The quote above was inspired by Dennis Kucinich’s impeachment resolution and it’s from Democratic Congressman Alcee Hastings, who should know a thing or two about impeachment, since he was impeached himself for bribery and perjury back […]

Isn’t this nice? Note the absurdities here: When the bill that would extend farm subsidies for five years goes to the Senate floor this week, eight senators will have special reason to pay close attention: They or their relatives collected about $3 million in federal payments from 1995 to 2005, according to government records compiled […]

In my Advanced Placement Government and Politics class, we’ve been talking about the Constitutional Convention and the fight over ratification. As we were listing the objections of the Anti-federalists to the proposed constitution, it struck all of us how relevant their criticisms are still today. They feared the powers of the presidency would lead to […]

You have to hand it to Democratic House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey. Not only is he looking for a way to lose the war in Iraq and deny our troops credit for all the progress they’ve made in recent months, he has found a way to tie it all into a tax increase. It’s […]

The Democrats have been spending the last few years finding any and every excuse to scream “Nazi,” “Hitler,” and “Fascism,” at everything that moves.
