Since 2005, conservatives have been loudly saying, secure the border, build the fence, crack down on the people hiring illegal aliens, and no amnesty. Because those conservatives have put the interests of the American people above those of illegal aliens, they’ve been ignored, insulted, and talked down to — not just by the Democrats, which […]

We’ve heard a whole lot about “jobs Americans won’t do.” But it turns out that when the illegal aliens are shipped out, those jobs aren’t as unfillable as the open borders crowd would have you believe, “Swift & Company today reported its return to standard staffing levels at all four domestic beef processing facilities after […]

It goes without saying that Jimmy Carter is a rather pathetic fellow. He was an utter disaster in the White House who was completely incapable of handling domestic or foreign policy and without a doubt, he was one of the worst Presidents in US history. Moreover, since he has gotten out of the White House, […]

Last week, after watching Ron Paul’s horrible debate flame out, Andrew Sullivan had this to say about Ron Paul, “They’re scared, aren’t they? The Internet polls show real support for him. Fox News’ own internet poll placed him a close second, with 25 percent of the votes from Fox News viewers. We have a real […]

The new Rambo trailer is out and let me give you a little advice: hold on to something heavy and scrunch your feet up real tight. That’s so you won’t be blown out of your socks and across the room after your see this trailer.

There aren’t going to be any week-end links today because it’s time to take action. This immigration bill? It’s an absolute disaster for America and the Republican Party. However, despite all the backslapping and talk you’ve been hearing about the bill being in the bag, it’s far from a done deal. The base is apoplectic […]

I did the Conservatives with Attitude! Podcast Show on the GOP Debate in South Carolina and the news that the Senate, with GOP support, is on the verge of passing what many are calling a Pro-Amnesty bill. You can listen to it here.

This article from the Boston Globe is just nauseating. The piece starts out with RNC Chairman Mel Martinez and that empty headed mediocrity Lindsey Graham yucking it up with Ted Kennedy over how they stuck it to conservatives on this immigration bill. Then, just read some of these quotes about Ted Kennedy, Yesterday, the two […]

The Republicans Really Are the Stupid Party column I wrote for Townhall has probably already generated more email than any other column that I’ve ever written. Most of it is just some variation of, “I agree with everything you wrote,” but the 2nd most written group of responses say something like, “I agree with most […]

What do you think of the illegal immigration bill the Senate is poised to pass? It sounds like a good bill. I support it. It sounds like a bad bill. I oppose it.    Free polls from Pollhost.com

Ted Kennedy on Immigration 1965: “The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.” 1986: “This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal […]

The “stupid party” moniker has often been applied to the GOP, but seldom has it been more applicable than it is to today’s Republican Party. The Republican politicians, insulated from the real world in D.C., are too timid to take on the Democrats, too arrogant to listen to their constituents, and have an antagonistic attitude […]

PS: Duncan Hunter’s statement on the bill, HUNTER EXPRESSES “FIERCE DISAPPOINTMENT” OVER SENATE AMNESTY PROPOSAL I vow to oppose this legislation supported by Senators Edward Kennedy and John McCain.It provides a vast new immigration benefit to millions of illegal aliens who have broken our laws to live in the United States.I opposed the 1986 amnesty […]

Next week, I’d suggest you make sure to pack an umbrella because you’re going to be hearing from a lot of Republican senators who are going to be peeing all over your leg and trying to tell you that it’s raining. That’s because the Senate GOP is about to betray America by voting for Ted […]

This sort of thing is unacceptable in America, The words “Center of the party of satan” were painted in Arabic on the front wall and back door of the Karbalaa Islamic Education Center on Warren on Wednesday in the fourth episode of vandalism in the mosque, where mostly Shi’a Muslims from Iraq worship. “I don’t […]

“When compared to what it did for Europe after World War II, the breadth of America’s commitment to the Middle East is breathtaking. According to a president of the George C. Marshall Foundation, Albert Beveridge III, postwar expenditures “to reduce hunger, homelessness, sickness, unemployment, and political restlessness” for 270 million Europeans living in 16 nations […]

I keep hearing that the spineless Republicans in the Senate are going to buckle at the knees and sign on to Ted Kennedy’s amnesty plan despite the fact that it will be wildly unpopular. Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania, a state won by John Kerry in the last election, Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta, who gained national prominence […]

Faux conservative Andrew Sullivan has a new crush and his name is Ron Paul. Here’s Sully on Paul, “The conservative pundits are now referring to Ron Paul as a “crackpot.” Hannity predictably savaged him last night (see above). The Hewitt site has an image of a man in a tin-foil hat; Dean Barnett and Hugh […]

After watching a couple of debates, I think I’ve seen enough to come out with a new Presidential preference list. This list is based on a combination of conservatism, likability, and electability. Here it is (Keep in mind, I do work for Duncan Hunter, so take what I say with a grain of salt). Group […]

Since when are food stamps supposed to constitute someone’s entire food budget? Since some Congressman wanted to do a silly publicity stunt, “Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) stood before the refrigerated section of the Safeway on Capitol Hill yesterday and looked longingly at the eggs. At $1.29 for a half-dozen, he couldn’t afford them. Ryan and […]

“As House Democrats tackle a lobbying reform bill that they pledged to adopt on the midterm campaign trail, reformers say that a number of the members are privately questioning its necessity after all.

“If the choice is (Iran) continuing (towards a nuclear bomb) or the use of force, I think you’re at a Hitler marching into the Rhineland point. If you don’t stop it then, the future is in his hands, not in your hands, just as the future decisions on their nuclear programme would be in Iran’s […]

Here’s a good selection of comments from around the right side of the blogosphere about the debate. “It was easily Rudy’s night, which was made easier because much of the questioning seemed to fit right in his wheelhouse. His smackdown of Michael Moore sounding idiot Ron Paul was a microcosm of why people like me […]
