Exclusive: Herman Cain, Dark Horse?

Posted on April 12, 2010 by Melissa Clouthier

Herman Cain knows how to give a great speech. He was also a delightful man to interview. Mr. Cain sat with Tabitha Hale and me for a few minutes.

What Was Wrong At The Southern Republican Leadership Conference?

Posted on April 12, 2010April 12, 2010 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 April 9, 2010 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 […]

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

Posted on March 13, 2010 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 February 22, 2010February 22, 2010 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 February 8, 2010 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 […]

Posted on January 25, 2010January 25, 2010 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.

Guardian Moonbat: Dopenhagen Farce Was Turning Point for Human Race

Posted on December 21, 2009 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 […]

Posted on December 18, 2009December 18, 2009 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.

African Dictators to Demand 5% of West’s GDP

Posted on December 15, 2009 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 […]

Global Warming Blamed for Cannibal Polar Bears

Posted on December 9, 2009 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 December 7, 2009 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 December 7, 2009December 6, 2009 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 December 3, 2009 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 November 25, 2009 by William Teach

It would also shift […]

Global Warming Really Does Create Prostitution

Posted on November 24, 2009 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 October 29, 2009October 29, 2009 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 […]

Posted on October 15, 2009 by William Teach

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 October 6, 2009 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. […]
