New Research Shows That Conservatives Are Independent, Liberals Sheeple

Posted on by William Teach

A bit of fluff for a Friday morning It goes without saying that conservatives and liberals don’t see the world in the same way. Now, research from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln suggests that is exactly, and quite literally, the case. In a new study, UNL researchers measured both liberals’ and conservatives’ reaction to “gaze cues” […]

 

Sarah Palin Makes Liberals Act Like Weirdos

Posted on by Susannah Fleetwood

For some odd reason, Sarah Palin causes liberal elites to rabidly foam at the mouth. Professor William Jacobson of the blog Legal Insurrection wrote an insightful piece about how conservatives seem to reflexively defend Palin, because liberals seem to be perpetually attacking her. Furthermore, not only do liberals seem to revel in finding weird reasons […]

GOP Looks To Change Spending Process – Obviously, Some Have A Problem With This

Posted on by William Teach

A very interesting notion is coming from the Republicans, especially the new guard House Republicans seem intent on blowing up the staid appropriations process when they take power in January – potentially upending the old bulls in both parties who have spent decades building their power over the federal budget. The plans include slicing and […]

 

When It Comes To TSA Groping, Rep. Peter King Thinks You Righties Are Talking Like Left Wing Nancy’s

Posted on by William Teach

Usually, one can depend on Rep. Peter King, who has sat on the House Homeland Security Committee and will soon be chairman, to be very sensible, especially when it comes to supporting Conservatives and the War on Terrorism. But, like most people (including me), every once in a while he has to get stuck on […]

 

Obama’s Government Denying Tax Status Based on Pro-Israeli Support?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A pro-Israel education group called Z Street is claiming that Obama’s IRS has violated its Constitutional rights by denying it tax exempt status solely because it supports Israel, support that apparently runs counter to Obama’s stance on Israel. Z Street reports that Obama’s IRS asked a telling question of the group as it sought the […]

 

GOP Guvs Ready to Take on Greedy Public Employee Unions

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This is a story that warms the anti-union cockles of my free-market heart. At the recent meeting of the Republican Governors Association in San Diego those governors gathered made a point to discuss angles of attack to take down the budget-busting, anti-democratic public employees unions. In attendance was the ever present former Speaker of the […]

Americans for Tax reform have done a study (download .pdf) that shows a very interesting trend.

Building a Conservative Majority Starts at Home

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If conservatives intend to translate Tea Party enthusiasm into actual power they are certainly going to have begin to put like-minded folks into office and not just at the federal level. Every office from dogcatcher, to city offices, to county and state offices needs to be filled with Tea Party advocates. Conservatives cannot expect an […]

 

What We Need to Say, And Say, And Say

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If leftists are good at one thing it is staying on message. Since 2006 when Nancy Pelosi was raised to the dizzying heights of Speaker of the House of Representatives the left has been chanting over and over that the voters wanted the country to take a hard left turn. This month’s election, however, proved […]

 

Politico Says Florida’s Allen West Will Become the Alan Grayson of the Right?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Lt. Col. Allen West is one of the most stand up guys you’ll ever meet. He first came to the public eye when his interrogation of an Iraqi yielded lifesaving results even as it was a bit unorthodox. His professional handling of that incident put him on a track to run for Florida’s 22nd District […]

 

Jim DeMint Was Right: “You Can’t Be A Fiscal Conservative And Not Be A Social Conservative” — At Least In The Senate

Posted on by John Hawkins

You can’t be a fiscal conservative and not be a social conservative. —Jim DeMint In the wilds of the Internet, it’s not unusual to find Libertarians who are diehards about fiscal conservatism, but tend to be socially liberal. They wouldn’t call themselves socially liberal, of course — but they are. For example, if you favor […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Democrat’s Anti-Capitalist Net Neutrality Wounded, But Not Dead

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Just before election day the liberal blogs were aflutter with news that 95 Democratic Congressional candidates had taken the pledge to support Net neutrality if they were elected. That turned out to be a very big “if.” More like a forlorn hope, if you will. Of those 95 Democrats, the number actually going to Congress […]

 

Face it, GOP ‘Moderates’ Are Party Traitors

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A party is a party. Sure, in politics there are internal fights, jealousies, and intrigues, but when the final push to election day is upon its members, a party supports the one carrying the party banner. They may be disgruntled because the man they supported didn’t win the primary, but they hold their tongue and […]

Gawker’s Misogynistic Smear of O’Donnell So Vile, Left Shamed Into Condemning It. But, Did They Really?

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Gawker, that pit of disgusting, published an anonymous hit piece on Christine O’Donnell the other day. I refuse to link to it; y’all can google and find it yourself. I’m a mean girl like that. The ‘exclusive’ — exclusive in this case meaning only Gawker was vile enough to publish, and pay for, such a […]

 

John Stewart’s Speech Served Conservative Ends

Posted on by Brian Garst

It’s easy to be critical of the attendees at the recent Stewart/Colbert non-political but political non-rally rally, and for good reason. As a group, they are hard to take seriously.:  Egged on by Stewart’s Daily Show, they routinely confuse conviction for extremism, and the possession of neither information nor principles with moderation.:  Most of them […]
