Again. Consistency

I know in my last entry on a consistent Democrat (or Republican) I got a lot of you saying, “Yeah, consistently looney.” But, there is something I admire in people who don’t let party or politics set their belief system. I give you Cindy Sheehan: (emphasis mine) An Open Letter to War Loving (Democratic/Republican) Frauds […]

 

What We Learn From Each Other

I follow Mona Eltahawy on twitter to get a good Muslim view of things happening in the Middle East right now. She is an award-winning columnist and an international public speaker on Arab and Muslim issues. She writes for Canada’s Toronto Star, Israel’s The Jerusalem Report and Denmark’s Politiken. I follow her also because we […]

 

Mob Does Not Rule

It looks like Gov. Walker in Wisconsin won this latest standoff against the unions. The Republicans passed Governor Scott Walker’s budget-repair bill virtually intact, and did it without having to split out controversial provisions that limited the ability for government employees to collectively bargain. This is how he did it. Gov. Walker gave the Democrats […]

 


The lucky Ones Who Get Waivers From Obamacare

The Obama administration is still handing out waivers to Obamacare like the Easter bunny hands out candy. …the administration has issued 307 more Obamacare waivers, 47 of which for labor unions. That brings the total number of waivers to 1,040. Labor unions received 269 of those. That means unions received about 26 percent of all […]

 

Shame On Orange County Tea Party

I have long defended the Tea Parties against racism and bad behavior. I’ve always been proud of the fact that millions and millions of Americans have protested against the overreach of government across this country, and have behaved in a civil manner. I have always said that if any Tea Party showed racism or bad […]

 


My Interview With Ted Cruz

I interviewed Ted Cruz at CPAC for SmartGirlNation, but the audio quality wasn’t great, so to make sure you didn’t miss it, I transcribed it. Enjoy! Welcome to Smart Girl Nation. This is Kathleen McKinley and today I’m speaking with Mr. Ted Cruz, who is running for the Texas Senate seat now being held Kay […]

 

My Interview With Herman Cain

Mr. Herman Cain is ready to be President. I had the pleasure of hearing him speak at CPAC, and I was very impressed. Like Gov. Chris Christie, Mr. Cain is blunt and honest. This is what I think is crucial right now. We need a leader that is willing to tell us the truth, not just […]

 

“A Week With My Father”

In all the years that I have been blogging, this might be the most important post I write. That is how strongly I feel about this. I think all of you who read me know my concern over the plight of the black family. With 70% of black babies born into unwed homes, and with […]

 


My Interview With Michael Williams

If you are not familiar with the Texas Senate race, Kay Bailey Hutchinson is giving up her Senate seat in 2012. Michael Williams, our Railroad Commissioner is running for that seat. Here is a link to my interview with him at CPAC for FTRadio. For more information about Williams, go here. You can read my […]

 

My CPAC Pics!

Ed Morrisey of HotAir interviews Richard Dreyfus, who I got to talk to later. If you have ever wondered what my lovely co-hosts on SmartGirl Nation Radio looks like, here they are. They are as lovely on the inside as they are on the outside. Teri Christophe and Molly Teichman. Me and Tammy Bruce. I […]

 

CPAC I’m Back!

CPAC is kind of like Christmas for conservatives without the presents. We all get together with our friends. We eat, drink, and care about our country. Together. This is my third CPAC, and every time I come back more committed to the conservative cause. Every time I come back with more love for my country. […]

 

CPAC Update!

I’ll be doing a full blog post on GOProud (the conservative gay organization) when I get back, but I just wanted to let you know what went on yesterday. First of all, Donald Trump smacked down the Ron Paul supporters. You probably saw the clip on the news. Trump was speaking and someone yelled out,”Elect […]

 

The GOP Renaissance

My friend, Kevin Jackson at TheBlackSphere is a hardworking man making a big difference in the GOP. He is doing so much to bring minorities into the GOP. If you can help him out with a donation for this billboard and his other projects, it would mean a lot to me. This is similar to […]

 



The Hammer Goes To The Slammer

I’m sure that if it hadn’t been for the Arizona shooting story yesterday, the big news would have been that Former Republican House majority leader Tom DeLay was sentenced to three years in prison for violating campaign finance laws. If you want to read a good overview of the entire thing, Human Events has a […]

 

Stop The Blame Game (Updated)

Sadly the blame rhetoric is continuing today from the left. It’s ironic that as they decry toxic rhetoric, they are contributing to. It is this kind of talk that divides us and promotes hatred. All morning I watched on the news as various Democrat politicians sought to blame conservatives for the shootings yesterday. Here is […]

 

Obama Skinning Cats

My D.C. trip was a mixture of emotions for me. On the one hand it was fun to see all my fellow conservative actitivists (we always have a blast when we get together), and it was exciting to go to a reception for the new Congress. But on the other hand, I learned about dangerous […]

 

Charitable Giving. Who Gives More?

If you have been reading me long, you know my favorite post to repost is the one where I quote Arthur C. Brooks, a professor at Syracuse University, who published “Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism.” In this book/study, Brooks found that: — Although liberal families’ incomes average 6 percent higher than […]

 

‘Tis The Season

Night before last my neighbors and I got together and made 200 sandwiches for a soup kitchen. Although I have decorated, cooked, gone to see Christmas plays, strung lights outside, gone to Christmas parties, and wrapped dozens of presents, making those sandwiches was probably the most Christmas thing I will do. We love the Christmas […]

 


Wow. We Won. Spending Bill Dead

That’s right. Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid abandoned efforts to pass a $1.1 trillion spending bill and instead extend current funding. He simply didn’t have the votes. The most wonderful thing about this is that the billion dollar funding of Obamacare is gone. The new Congress will have a much easier time defunding it now. […]

 

Is Rush Right? Part II

Remember when I wrote a post called, “Is Rush Right?” You probably do, because Rush read the thing in it’s entirety on air and I went crazy making sure you knew about it. Rush has stated over and over that he feels Obama is purposedly bringing this country down. I find it hard to wrap […]

 


Again, The Dream Act

The Dream Act passed the House last night. You didn’t even know it was being voted on? That seems to be the way of this congress. Obviously Reid was rushing this through before the new saner congress comes in in January. He didn’t even allow hearings on it. As I posted before, The Dream Act […]

 


More Bad News For The Economy

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today that the jobless rate rose to 9.8 percent in November. The economy only added a measly 39,000 jobs. Forecasters had expected more than three times that. Not good, my friends. It’s beyond frustrating that this Congress and administration spent so much time on a massive healthcare bill that […]
