Paul Ryan, WI, is doing a great. Getting back to conservatism. Constitutional self-government. Here’s something I keep bringing up to people–Paul Ryan is hot. That’s important. We’re looking for future leaders of the party and the future leaders must hold to the right sort of ideals. That’s a start. But the man or woman needs […]

Why isn’t every Republican on Capital Hill at CPAC this weekend? It’s the biggest gathering of conservative thinkers, activists, bloggers and the press will be there, too. Why wouldn’t every press-loving, voting-getting, power-lusting politician not just be setting up shop and hanging with the peeps? Over 60% of the American public self-identifies as conservative and […]

10:06 EST Hugs all around. Oh, bring on Jindel. Hallelujah! It’s over. Thank you, thank you, thank you…. but not for the reasons these sycophants are saying and believing. 10:03 EST Leonard Abess is sleepy. Paying a $60 million dollar bonus makes one fatigued. 9:59 EST Oh thank Buddha. This is almost over. Military guys […]

I’m sick of the euphemisms in the media about this recession. It’s the same old language assault. Joe Smith didn’t murder John Brown. Oh no, John Brown died in “alleged gun-related violence” or some such nonsense. In the case of the economy, greedy home buyers, lenders, and stupid government policy didn’t cause this economic mess. […]

The RNC needs to get back on track and you can help it succeed!

The Obama presidency thus far has been anything but post-racial. Rather, Americans have been reminded by Obama’s representatives that anyone feeling “over” the subject lacks courage. At the Huffington Post, Rinku Sin posits that Americans prove Eric Holder’s point when the deny that America is racist: Smartly, Holder noted that our goal should not be […]

It’s bad enough when Nanny-staters do it, but when the party of small-government and individualism and freedom gets in your business, it’s worse. At CNET via RedState: Republican politicians on Thursday called for a sweeping new federal law that would require all Internet providers and operators of millions of Wi-Fi access points, even hotels, local […]

What if you spent one million dollars every day since Jesus was born? You still wouldn’t have spent as much money as is in the spending bill: From the Politico: The American Issues Project, which briefly aired a TV spot in last year’s presidential race, will go up on Friday with a TV spot that […]

Dating can be a hot mess and not the so-bad-she’s good Tara Reid kind, either. As I wrote last week, with the new technology, lack of family cohesion, and cessation of social rules governing all sorts of behavior, people are doing some crazy things (face licking) and thinking it’s normal. Exhibit A: If you’ve watched […]

A blogger friend and I were talking yesterday and she lamented the Obama administration’s long-lasting affects and it was only one month into his presidency: the drive to nationalize banks, the class-warfare, the hostility toward achievement, the secretiveness, the cult of personality, the talk of inclusion then the actions of exclusion, etc. The current push […]

Matt Lewis poses the question, since references to FDR and The Depression seem all the rage now that Obama is in office. It’s disturbing that the Left thrills at the notion of economic devastation just so their guy can have a platform to shine. If it’s not bad enough, make it worse! President Obama will […]

A friend sent me this article last week and I am just now getting around to it. Evidently, the Standard Achievement Test (SAT) is unfair and so a “fair test” must replace, or better yet eliminate testing altogether. Before even reading, I had pictures in my head of dullards finally having self-esteem because the test […]

The thing that struck me coming up with this list is that it’s woefully short. Here’s my list, though: @JimDeMint–Senator DeMint knows engagement. He mixes helpful links with the personal. He’s doing a good job. @KarlRove–This man is a machine. He has embraced the Twitter technology. He joined Twitter a couple weeks ago, but got […]

My blog friend Robert Stacy McCain sent me a link to his latest article, where he admonishes a young man for his blown chance at a suitably smart hottie. He probably thinks I am never going to link his piece, but that’s not true. I’ve been pondering it, instead. Robert’s article coincides with a dear […]

After getting our behinds handed to us throughout the last few election cycles, it’s evident that the Republican Party has many opportunities to grow and improve. For me, watching the Obama campaign win over and over in the technology arena was especially frustrating. The tools to influence and encourage, teach and reach out, raise money […]

Someone on Twitter suggested that the news reports of the impending American demise will quickly right itself as soon as the Stimulus gets passed. “Hallelujah! We’ve been saved!! Praise Jes..I mean Obama!” In the meantime, I think this may be closer to the reality. We’ll be sinking soon, but it will be a beautiful trip […]

I can’t help but think that had Republicans stuck with core principles during their time of unchecked power, America wouldn’t be where she is today. The Republicans ruined their brand by these actions: 1. If you’re going to fight–beat the hell out of the opposition and get it over with. [Iraq, Afghanistan] 2. If you’re […]

Two roads lead to rebuilding the Republican brand and neither road can do it alone. One road starts with the Republican National Committee and Chairman Steele’s leadership on things such as funding truly conservative candidates, withholding support from less principled leaders (hello Arlen Specter), being a more public face, changing the primary schedule so liberal […]

Since I’m like the wired mom on crack (although I’ve met far worse tech heads than me on Twitter, I’m a piker), I shared how my travel experience went with all the technology in my latest Pajama’s article. Here’s a taste: Some people yearn for a more innocent time — you know, the agrarian past […]

My friend and fellow blogger pointed me in the direction of this video by a 12 year old girl explaining her opposition to abortion. It looks like a school project where she either practiced using the video equipment or turned in her project on video. Go watch it and then come back. While the content […]

Sometimes commenters reveal the crux of the matter so beautifully, it seems wrong not to share. The question before the American people is simple: Is cradle to grave health care a right or a privilege? Are there some things that the government, i.e. all taxpaying citizens (remember only about 50% of working Americans pay Federal […]

Today, President Barack Obama promised to save Julio, the four-year McDonalds veteran going to school to become the next Chris Matthews. Julio’s leg didn’t tingle…his whole body tingled and it showed. Julio is a college student. He hasn’t moved up at McDonalds and he goes to college. Not a vote of confidence in our educational […]

Liberal women need to get laid. That’s the only conclusion to come to after reading this tripe from Judith Warner in the New York Times, no less: The other day a friend of mine confided that in the weeks leading up to the election, the Obamas’ apparent joy as a couple had made her just […]

Ann Althouse writes something that is so profound and yet, obvious: How long does it take people to get something through their skulls? The Prez is black. I’ve been used to it since months before it happened. (And it seemed normal to me back when he was a long shot.) Are people really still going […]

I’m completely flummoxed. Where to start? In a couple weeks, Barack Obama has managed to prove far more destructive than I could have imagined possible. Not only has his form been careless, dismissive, petty, and unpresidential, his substance will fundamentally transform the country in a horrible way. It’s like the destroyer train has left the […]

Diane Feinstein might vote against the Stimulus Bill. Will Specter, Collins and Snowe be Republican turncoats? (P.S. There is fresh, different content over at MelissaClouthier.com This was so important I thought I’d come over and share the info here.)

It’s a fine line, isn’t it? I mean, really, an unwanted child shouldn’t be in this world because that’s bad. So, I think we should reframe this unfortunate event as a mercy killing. RedInkTexas notes that the mother might as well say, “I want you to murder my unborn child, I just don’t want to […]

Now that Daschle bowed out, health care reform pushes to the back burner. Bob Laszewski is disappointed. It is also possible that Obama’s biggest health care reform challenge may not come from Republicans but from those on the far left of his own party. Their pushing on things like a public health plan to compete […]

It was George Stephanopoulis, James Carville, Paul Begala who talked daily with Rahm Emmanuel. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. They are Democrats and The Press. Which is to say they’re teammates. From Gateway Pundit: James Carville, Rahm Emanuel, Paul Begala and George Stephanopoulos have been holding daily phone conversations for nearly 17 years. […]

Redink Texas says, “It looks like the honeymoon is just about over.” Well, time will tell. At least the finance guys on TV won’t die of repeated, spontaneous Obasms: Kramer quotes Barack Obama who said, “Now is not the time for profits.” Scarborough called it a “stunning quote” while Kramer praised the Chinese Communists who […]
