What Was Wrong At The Southern Republican Leadership Conference?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

What a weird conference. There. I said it. The Tea Party received the biggest cheers. The Republicans bashed their own party. Attendees were optimistic and cheerful. Politicians were purposeful and focused on 2010–a marked shift from the usual perspectives at SRLC which has been a conference that gives voters a first look at potential Presidential […]

 

Rick Perry Gives A Barn Burner At Southern Republican Leader

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

It sure seems like Rick Perry is running for President, or better yet, Vice President. He gave an enthusiastic speech that roused the crowd in a major way. Part of the reason I came to the Southern Republican Leadership Council is to see Sarah Palin alongside other candidates and good political speakers. She introduced Perry […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Well, I am back home from attending the AFP Defending the American Dream Summit. The speakers were inspiring and the panel on which I sat during one of the break out sessions was really fun.

3rd Annual AFP Defending the Amer. Dream Summit, Wisconsin — Opening Festivities

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I am here in Beautiful Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin for the AFP Defending the American Dream Summit… or I assume it’ll be beautiful once the drab days of Winter are over, anyway. I haven’t been to the Dells since about 1973, so things have changed a tad since I was last here. Tonight, after registration closed […]

 

The Mount Vernon Statement, A Poor Man’s Manifesto… VERY Poor

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A group made up of some of the biggest names in contemporary conservatism got together a few days ago and crafted what they are calling the “Mount Vernon Statement,” a manifesto of sorts meant to give direction to today’s conservative movement. Put succinctly, it fails to fill the bill. Taken as a whole this statement […]

 

Obama Getting Desperate On Health Legislation, Convening Summit

Posted on by William Teach

In a sign that smacks of incredible desperation regarding his signature, and outsourced, legislation – and also shows that he still does not comprehend that the economy and jobs are the top issues facing this country – Obama made a big announcement during his little interview with Katie Couric, a time period in which most […]

 

Wrap-Up: Governor Rick Perry’s Blogger Summit In Austin, Texas

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Texas Governor Rick Perry hosted a blogger meet-up in Austin, Texas this last weekend. Friday night, twenty of us met up at the gun range with the Governor. He showed fellow bloggers Kathleen McKinley and Robbie Cooper and me how to shoot his laser-guided, tiny Ruger LCP .380. It was a nice, light little gun, […]

 

Guardian Moonbat: Dopenhagen Farce Was Turning Point for Human Race

Posted on by Dave Blount

It must be nice living in your own community-based reality. Even when your fellow moonbats fall on their foolish faces, you can pretend they succeeded beyond anyone’s wildest imaginations — like Colin Blakemore, who triumphantly squeaks: Copenhagen may mark a turning point in human nature, when the global village acquired a global mind. A global […]

 

Copenhagen Deal to Loot $100 Billion

Posted on by Dave Blount

A last minute deal has reportedly been reached at the snowbound Copenhagen spectacle that will transfer $100 billion of OUR MONEY to odious Third-World dictators like Robert Mugabe on behalf of the flourishing polar bears. Leaders and ministers from about 30 countries hammered out an outline climate accord early on Friday morning, hours before some […]

 

AGW Today: Inhofe, Alarmist Media, And 40 Members Of Congress

Things are getting fun in Copenhagen, and I’m not talking about being about to playing in the rare heavy snow that has fallen The leading global warming skeptic in the U.S. Senate shocked reporters in Copenhagen with a dose of American reality with his prediction Thursday morning that the U.S. Senate will not pass a […]

 

African Dictators to Demand 5% of West’s GDP

Posted on by Dave Blount

It’s a good thing we all have plenty of money to spare, because the socialist dictators lording it over Africa are exploiting the Dopenhagen spectacle as an opportunity to demand a fat cut of it in the name of the global warming farce: According to a draft text, 50 African countries are considering demanding five […]

 

An IPI Christmas: Feeding The Hungry, Bringing Opportunity to Developing Nations

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last night I was invited to attend a Christmas get together sponsored by the Illinois Policy Institute.

Global Warming Blamed for Cannibal Polar Bears

Posted on by Dave Blount

Time for an update of The List — the media has again resorted to shrieking that the nonexistent global warming crisis has turned cuddly polar bears into bloodthirsty cannibals: A group of tourists were left horrified when they came across the grisly sight of a polar bear eating a cub in northern Canada. The large […]

 

Christmas Trees Forbidden on UN Territory

Posted on by Dave Blount

Don’t look for Christmas trees at the Copenhagen summit, where bureauweenies are gathering from around the world to push global socialism in the name of the polar bears. After all, it’s “UN territory.” Since Christmas is a religious holiday, it has no place at a United Nations event, said officials planning the event. A sponsor […]

 

Copenhagen Climahypocricy Opens Today. No Limo’s Available

Posted on by William Teach

Climahysterics are showing their true climahypocricy, just like they have done at so many of the other conferences, like when they visited the exotic vacation spot of Bali, and had to dead head (no passengers) their private jets to other islands because there were no parking spots left. So, not only are the ladies of […]

 

Carbon Corruption From Copenhagen

Posted on by Dave Blount

How appropriate that Denmark, home of the upcoming Hopenhagen power grab, would light the way into our glorious green future by showing us the monumental corruption we can expect when the economy is no longer based on producing goods and services, but on convincing bureaucrats that you are serving Gaia. From the Copenhagen Post: Denmark […]

 

Woah! AP Prints Reality About Point Of Copenhagen AGW Nuttiness

Posted on by William Teach

Someone was seriously drunk at the Associated Press to allow this bit of reality leak into the narrative Next month’s climate summit in Copenhagen seeks to transform the way we run the planet, from the generation of energy, to the building of homes and cities, to the shaping of the landscape. It would also shift […]

 

Global Warming Really Does Create Prostitution

Posted on by Dave Blount

Many laughed when a UN moonbat barked that global warming causes prostitution. But a dry run earlier in the year for the big upcoming global warming hoaxathon in Copenhagen did create a boom for the Danish skin trade. We have been busy like mad. The politicians do also need to relax after a long day, […]

Aw. There May Be No Copenhagen Global Warming Deal

Posted on by William Teach

Man, what a shame Denmark’s prime minister says he does not think a legally binding deal on climate change will be agreed upon at a December summit in Copenhagen. Lars Loekke Rasmussen spoke ahead of an EU summit at which climate change will be one of the main topics. “We do not think it will […]

Uh Oh. Another Big Media Outlet Wonders About AGW And Consensus

How freezing temperatures are starting to shatter climate change theory, they […]

 

Senator Jim DeMint Says Again: Health Care Is President Obama’s Waterloo

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Well, Senator DeMint’s interview was interesting. But I also had the opportunity to talk to Stephen Moore of the Wall Street Journal about the U.S. unemployment numbers and the debt-ceiling. It was scintillating, I promise. Also, Hugh Hewitt and I had a quick chat about the state of the conservative movement. I hope you’ll listen. […]
