We conservatives who have been upset over the lame duck Congress’s passage of the $1.1 trillion CROmnibus bill last month have had a bit of a reprieve over the past couple of weeks, as the new Republican-controlled Congress moves forward with a much more conservative agenda.

It’s Time To Stand For Something

Posted on by Robert Cleveland

With the midterm elections just weeks away, the numbers indicate that Republicans are pretty well positioned to take control of the Senate.

Why RINOs Will Always Lose

Posted on by Robert Cleveland

With Chris Christie’s re-election win in New Jersey, the rumor mill is buzzing with speculation over whether America’s favorite overweight governor will run for president in 2016. With the rumors this strong, I would say that the possibility is pretty good that Ann Coulter’s former favorite will give it a shot…but there is just one […]

 

The Communication Cliff

Posted on by Robert Cleveland

Republicans should be less worried about the Fiscal Cliff than about their own Communication Cliff. It seems that the GOP leadership has been gripped by a great communicative ineptitude, and until they escape from its grasp, they will continue to languish in political poverty, taking blame for fake crisis after fake crisis manufactured by the […]

Decade Of War

Posted on by Courtney Messerschmidt

The last ten years has seen a semi unbound Great Satan – using her fire power, brain power, will power and staying power all across the globe in war.:  Wars occur at unpredictable times, take unpredictable courses and have unexpected consequences.:  Some wars are carefully planned, but even those wars rarely take place as expected.

Perhaps the most charming charm Great Satan has exhibited (aside from angling her body diplopolitaire’ to create other angles) is the killer cool heap of trashed out despots, dicts and autocrats she’s tossed on the junk heap since the new millennium broke unto us. The guy with one eye (hot rumours whisper he’s a moped […]

 

Hyperpuissance!

Uniquely powerful – the only one of her kind! Hegemonic unipolarity and the “Off Shore Balancing” act are facing off at the highest (almost) levels of Great Satan’s Academic and Actualizing apex. As best understood, the Offshore Balancing fans are frightened that gap shrinking, global orderliness and reinforcing desired myriad nation state behavior will become […]
