Politico’s Fake Tea Party-Slamming South Carolina Poll

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It almost seems that on a daily basis the onetime political news website Politico is edging toward a Daily Kos-like experience and on Jan 14 we see yet another step in Politico’s journey toward left-wing extremes with a fake poll that claims that no one in South Carolina likes the Tea Party movement. Did I […]

 

Republican candidates should push incremental pro-life measures

Posted on by Wintery Knight

If Republicans want to stand out from Democrats on social issues, then we have to find ways to make our pro-family, pro-marriage, pro-child positions resonate with the public at large. For example, on the pro-life issue, we should not be focused on outright bans on abortion, but instead on incremental measures to restrict abortion accessibility. […]

 

Occupy Wall Street Stealing From The Poor to Give to Themselves!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It is more common everyday. A man buys a house, the market collapses and suddenly his house is worth less than the mortgage, then he loses his job until, as a single father, he finds himself in foreclosure with no place to raise his two preteen daughters. It’s a case made for the Occupy Wall […]

 

Are You a Conservative? Welcome to the Majority!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

There has been a lot of lament by the far left in America that the Tea Party has somehow driven the Republican Party to conservative extremes. This, however, is untrue. The truth is, the American public has been trending toward conservative views for more than a decade before the Tea Party even came about. According […]

 

Illinois GOP Follies: Establishment vs Reform in Champagne County

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Illinois is drowning in debt and corruption. The state ranks as the worst state in nearly every category vying only with California for the worst-of rankings. The biggest factor in its downfall is the corrupt Democrat Party. So one would think that the state GOP could make good headway against this corruption. Unfortunately, the establishment […]

 

The Most Superficial Political Analysis Ever: The Candidates Ranked by Their T-Shirt Designs

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For months, now, we have all been involved up to our ears in policy debates, discussions of the candidate’s records, and general mud slinging in this Republican primary season. There’s more to come, too. So, let’s take time out to be completely shallow, shall we? Let’s judge the six remaining candidates by the most substantive […]

 

No, Daily Caller, Rush Will Not Back a Candidate in the Primary

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Daily Caller posted an Op Ed calling on Rush Limbaugh to save the GOP by offering a clinching endorsement of one of the non-Romney candidates. The writer was full of reasons and praise for the most listened-to radio talker, but for all the importuning, Rush will never back a primary candidate. The truth is, […]

Albany Police Chief Steven Krokoff came in for heavy criticism by fans of the Occupy “movement” after he ordered the clearing of their downtown encampment pursuant to a court order.

Dear Voters, Vote For Romney, You Idiots. Love, the Establishment GOP

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently, Mitt Romney and his surrogates want you to know that you should not vote your conscience or your principles this primary election. You should vote for Mitt Romney, instead. That is the message from Romney surrogate State Senator Gary Lambert in New Hampshire, anyway. “This is not about picking your favorite, it’s not about […]

 

The Elephant Stick

What’s the elephant stick?:  Simply, it’s: a stake driven into the ground to keep a chained baby elephant from escaping captivity.:  The young elephant, small and relatively weak, is: not yet strong enough to pull up: the stake and flee.:  The baby elephant: learns that: when it feels tension on it’s ankle: it’s reached the end of: the chain and: can’t go any: farther.:  […]

 

Yes Virginia The Internet Does NOT Replace Old Fashioned Politics

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

When Howard Dean became a surprise front runner in the Democrat primary of 2004 doing so on the basis of a strong Internet-based campaign effort, tongues began to wag that the Internet might replace old fashioned retail politics. This time ’round Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich served to get people to question the old way […]

 

Ron Paul: Conspiracy Nut, Anti-Semite

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last year Ron Paul said that the CIA perpetrated a coup over the United States. “There’s been a coup, have you heard? It’s the CIA coup. They’re in businesses, in drug businesses.” That fits in as just another part of the wacky world of Ron Paul that has spanned decades of denigrating blacks, assigning all […]

 

New York Rabbi: A Tim Tebow Win Will Cause Christians to Burn Mosques, Bash Gays

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

**UPDATED** Hammerman removes paragraph from story In the category of bigotry and hatred spares no religion, we find such hatred hiding behind religion in one “Rabbi” Joshua Hammerman of New York City. Hammerman has indulged his inner Father-Coughlin-in-reverse by proclaiming that if Tim Tebow wins the Super Bowl, why, Christians will go on a rampage […]

 

My Video At Heart of Controversy in Florida House Race

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently, a video I made in Denver is at the heart of a controversy in a race for the House of Representatives in Florida. While at Blogcon 2011 I had the opportunity to interview Karen Harrington, a Republican candidate for the 20th District House seat now held by Debbie Wasserman Schultz — who is also […]

 

Is The RNC Relevant?

The current White House occupant: spewed so many lies: during his taxpayer funded December 6th campaign stop in Osawatomie Kansas that: I had to turn: his speech: off before screaming objections to his rubbish filled remarks: destroyed my vocal cords. When: speaking: of Conservative economic policy…and I quote: “But here’s the problem::  It doesn’t work.:  It has never worked.:  It didn’t work when […]

 

Video: Obama: Capitalism and Liberty Don’t Work

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama, President of the United Deniers of America, is slamming the country again. This time he ways that capitalism, liberty, and American principles have never worked. Speaking in Osawatomie, Kansas, where in 1910 an off-the-rails Teddy Roosevelt laid out a new socialist-inspired dream for America he entitled the “New Nationalism,” Obama had a few […]

 

Romney, Newt, Bachtorum, Ron Puntsman: Who Cares?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Like nearly every conservative in America today I am unimpressed by the current crop of GOP nominees for president and feel they all have major flaws — especially the two frontrunners Newt and Romney, both of whom have major deficits as far as staunch conservatives are concerned. But at this point I’ve come to realize […]

 

A Fair Shake

Posted on by Michael Fell

Once again, the current White House occupant is spending your money to fly in Air Force One to a campaign stop. The location of his many stops varies, but his message doesn’t. He continues to cry out for everyone in America to get a fair shake. According to America’s emperor wannabe, the rich are preventing […]

 

Can One Want to Follow Even An Imperfect Constitution?

Posted on by Brian Garst

Politico reporter Reid Epstein is vexed by Republican presidential candidates who promote constitutional fidelity, but yet also call for amending the document: To hear the Republican presidential candidates tell it, the U.S. Constitution is the guiding light of democracy, a bedrock document so perfect and precise that it shouldn’t be challenged, interpreted or besmirched by […]

“progressives” Revise History…Again

Posted on by Michael Fell

Thanks to the energy of the Tea Party, the 2010 midterm elections established a mandate for reducing the size and scope of government by way of spending cuts. Evidence of this mandate is readily found in the record number of anti big government Republicans who replaced “progressive” Democrats in the House of Representatives. It’s also […]

 

Return To Free Market Principles

Posted on by Michael Fell

If we’re to form conclusions based on the behavior of our elected officials, the United States government being over $15 trillion in debt is a minor concern. It looks like figuring out how to cut spending is simply too adult a puzzle for ”progressives” in the Senate and the White House. What else can the […]

 

There Isn’t More Political ‘Polarization,’ There’s More Government

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Ron Fournier of the National Journal has committed the same mistake in political analysis that far too many others on both sides of the aisle make. He thinks, like many do, that there is somehow more “polarization” in Washington today than ever. Like all the others, he’s wrong. There isn’t any more than there’s ever […]

 

The “Super Committee” Shows What’s Wrong With America’s Government

Posted on by Michael Fell

Per The Hill online: Friday, November 18, 2011 “In a closed-door briefing Tuesday, Rep.

Black Republican’s Campaign Sign Defaced With ‘KKK,’ Media Yawns

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

William “Bill” Randall is running for Congress out of the North Carolina 13th. Randall, an African American, experienced what must be called a hate crime in the left’s vernacular. His campaign sign had racist graffiti spray painted on it including the letters “KKK.” Now, usually this is the sort of story that the Old Media […]
