And Oh, what a week it has been. John J. Miller at NRO summed it up nicely, but here is my take; : The Democrats lost Ted Kennedy’s: seat to a: rising Republican rock star, Scott Brown. The next day Pelosi says she doesn’t have the votes for Obamacare, which we all thought was about to be shoved […]

Ben Ehrenreich has a piece at Slate.com where he tries to make the case that by the U.S. sending troops first and aid secondto Haiti, the United Statesproves itself racist. But before I get into that, I find it interesting that he begins with this about Pres. Obama: Port-au-Prince is not much farther from Washington, […]

Nancy Pelosi says there aren’t the votes to pass the Health Care Bill. Finally they heard the voice of the people. Thank you TEA PARTIERS!!!! The media tried to dismiss you, the Democrats tried to smear you, but you would not: stay quiet. How about that? Liberty won. WE won. It’s about damn time.

Michael Zak once again reminds us of the proud heritage of the GOP: :  : As the new senator from Massachusetts, Scott Brown, said: “It’s not the Ted Kennedy seat. It’s not the Democrat seat. It’s the people’s seat.”Instead of Ted, let’s remember an honorable and courageous Republican senator who once filled the seat to which […]

On Dec. 19th I received a facebook message from some guy I had never heard of. His name was Scott Brown. I thought I might share those messages with you. Little did I know…… Between You and Scott Brown Scott Brown December 19, 2009 at 8:16am Hello Kathleen. I would really appreciate it if you […]

No matter what your political affiliation, you have to admire George W. Bush for his grace and dignity in the face of still constant blame and insults. Hardly a day goes by without Pres. Obama blaming Pres. Bush for something, and it’s been going on for a year. And that isn’t counting the year Obama […]

They don’t get a lot of things, but specifically they don’t get the anger of the American people and the Tea Parties. This was made quite evident in some of their recent comments regarding Scott Brown and his Senate race. This is Pres. Obama campaigning for Martha Coakley: “We have had one year to make […]

Every once in a while the mask is lifted, and the Democrats reveal their disdain for the American people. That happened today in the: Washington Post.: : : The article makes: clear that more people strongly oppose this health care bill than support it. Democrats say not to worry, they can turn: that opinion: around: Despite the general opposition to the legislation […]

Dear House Democrats: Today the AP reported that : “A panicky White House and Democratic allies scrambled Sunday for a plan to salvage their hard-fought health care package in case a Republican wins Tuesday’s Senate race in Massachusetts, which would enable the GOP to block further Senate action.The likeliest scenario would require persuading House Democrats to […]

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Day I try and repost every year one of my favorite pieces. I wrote it over 16 yrs ago when it was published in the Fort Worth Star Telegram: In 1971 I was in the fifth grade in Jackson, Mississippi. Busing had just begun in order to help […]

You probably remember all the controversy in 2006 when the artist Kurt Westergarrd drew that cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed wearing a bomb as a turban. But you might have missed the story that last week he was almost murdered in his own home. The Danish intelligence service (PET) built a panic room in Westergarrd’s […]

What is happening in Massachusetts right now is incredible by any measure. The Democrats are so scared of losing this seat to Republican Scott Brown, they now have Pres. Obama coming to stump for Democrat: Martha Coakley. Even if Brown loses, the fact that he came so close in this bluer than blue state tells us […]

As Michelle Malkin points out, Danny Glover is the left’s Pat Robertson. Tim Blair: “Actor Danny Glover believes that the Haitian earthquake was caused by climate change and global warming…”When we see what we did at the climate summit in Copenhagen, this is the response, this is what happens, you know what I’m sayin’?” In […]

This may not seem to be a big story in the scheme of things, but I think it speaks to what the GOP is about, how we handle differences, and how we move forward. Liberty University Law School has withdrawn as a co-sponsor of next month’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington because a […]

A Dec. 26th New York Times article erroneously reported that the Catholic Health Association and the U.S, Conference of Bishops were not agreeing or working together for health reform legislation that would not include abortion funding. Since Democrat Sen. Nelson made abortion an issue in the legislation, and then was bought off, the media have […]

The following letter is from Lt. Col. Allen West, a Black conservative candidate for the House in Florida’s Congressional District 22, and: is a must read. As you can see in the picture above though, Majority Leader Harry Reid would probably consider him too “dark skinned” to be electable. But I’m thinking he will win easily. […]

I know that we are beating this horse to death with Harry Reid and his racial remarks, but this point just has to be made. An e-mailer over at NRO pointed this out: “Harry Reid’s] remark’s context is (apologies) remarkable. From media reports, it appears that the Majority Leader made these statements to a group […]

It would have been amusing if it hadn’t been so sad. This morning I was listening to a phone interview a: Fox News reporter was having with Al: Sharpton: about the recent controversy over a new book that relates how senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s remarked during the 2008 campaign that Obama benefited from being”light skinned” and having […]

My heart did a little flip reading this at National Review. Now, the special election for the seat is less than two weeks away. It represents the only electoral threat to 60 that Democrats will face until November. Republican Scott Brown is mounting a surprisingly strong bid, trailing Massachusetts attorney general Martha Coakleyby only 9 […]

Can the government do anything right? In the process that this takes, including being approved by Congress, no one….not one person, considered that this might be offensive??? The word “negro” is now featured on an official U.S. document and now many are questioning if the Census Bureau is being insensitive. …………………. Question #9 on the […]

You might have seen some whining from the left about Rasmussen’s recent poll numbers on Pres. Obama. They were busy accusing Rasmussen of actually being rightwing. I guess they will have to add Gallup to the rightwing conspiracy: According to Gallup’s first full data set for 2010, Barack Obama starts his second year in office […]

t’s really amazing that after one year of Obama, Democrats are dropping like flies: “Four top Democrats – including veteran Sens. Chris Dodd and Byron Dorgan – all prepared to pull the plug on their campaigns in a 24-hour period that began Tuesday, and in the process, offered an unnerving glimpse at the perilous election […]

It took George Bush eight years and two wars to get here: (via Wizbang) Liberals may be forgiven for looking at the latest public opinion surveys and wondering if they somehow stumbled into the Valley of Death instead of Obama’s promised paradise. The president remains somewhat popular personally, but, as Matthew Continetti of The Weekly […]

Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano’s appearance on a Sunday talk show after the attempted terror attack, assuring the traveling public that the system had “worked,” will no doubt be one of the low points of this administration. And this is an administration full of low points in just it’s first year. It was a decidedly absurd […]

Oh how times change. Remember when the Obama administration decided they weren’t going to use the term “terrorism” any more? From now on it was going to be “an overseas contingency operation?” As M. Zuhdi Jasser (president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy) at NRO points out,: “the President has finally learned to use the […]

Bristol Palin is sueing Levi Johnston for sole custody of their son, Tripp. A judge overturned a previous ruling that the case remain closed to the public. Really? Seriously? Who wants to make bets that the judge is a Democrat? I bet she just giggled over the fact that she had the power to drag […]

I usually would never use a line from a modern movie to make a more profound point, but every once in a while there is a line in a move that strikes me. This happened when I was watching the movie, “2012.” Near the end, one of the main characters declares, “It is when we […]

Oh my gosh. Seriously. My oldest kids are home from college, my house if full children ages 12-22. I’m shopping, cleaning, cooking, wrapping, and going to Christmas parties. I don’t have time to blog. But here I am because this is so important. The Democrats are trying to rush this health care bill through when […]

For those of you interested or keeping up, Copenhagen’s Climate Change Summit has been a disaster. India and China had had enough. Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh and China premier Wen Jiabao walked out of the summit along with their respective delegations as talks failed. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev left the deadlocked UN climate summit […]
