Sometimes I wonder whether all the Republicans, conservatives, and even Christians who are so quick to lambaste Pat Robertson for the negative sound bites the media is always flailing about actually even know anything about the man. In case you haven’t heard, Robertson referenced Haiti’s historical “pact with the devil” when discussing the country’s disaster […]

There’s a very interesting but probably little noted piece at Fox News by Dr. C.L. Gray, who is, interestingly enough, the president of Physicians For Reform. His general premise is that while reform is needed in the medical field, what Congress is chasing is not at all the answer. And he uses Medicare as the […]

Dear House Democrats: Today the AP reported that : “A panicky White House and Democratic allies scrambled Sunday for a plan to salvage their hard-fought health care package in case a Republican wins Tuesday’s Senate race in Massachusetts, which would enable the GOP to block further Senate action.The likeliest scenario would require persuading House Democrats to […]

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Day I try and repost every year one of my favorite pieces. I wrote it over 16 yrs ago when it was published in the Fort Worth Star Telegram: In 1971 I was in the fifth grade in Jackson, Mississippi. Busing had just begun in order to help […]

You probably remember all the controversy in 2006 when the artist Kurt Westergarrd drew that cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed wearing a bomb as a turban. But you might have missed the story that last week he was almost murdered in his own home. The Danish intelligence service (PET) built a panic room in Westergarrd’s […]

“…he probably couldn’t win a GOP primary for county sheriff.” So says Rich Moran, over at Pajamas Media. Scott Brown, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate who might — might — actually win the election in mega-liberal Massachusetts, has become the conservative’s darling. Why? For the sheer chutzpah of it all, I’d say. As a […]

Take that, corporations! Last night, as I sat in the comfort of my living room, watching the news and obsessively checking my Twitter homepage for the latest developments, I felt completely helpless. I cried, and then I did the only thing I could do…I wrote a check to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF for $50,000. […]

It’s the race that suddenly everyone’s been talking about. As my blog has been covering, the special election to replace Senator Ted Kennedy’s seat may be making history this Tuesday: Brown, a state senator, is beating state attorney general Coakley 50 percent to 46 percent, according to a new Suffolk University/7News poll. Brown’s lead is […]

From Charlie Cook, at National Journal, “Colossal Miscalculation On Health Care: Obama and Hill Democrats Should Have Focused Much More on the Economy“: Honorable and intelligent people can disagree over the substance and details of what President Obama and congressional Democrats are trying to do on health care reform and climate change. But nearly a […]

My new Talk Radio Watch column is now up. Along with FREE audio and video highlights from the week — featuring Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and others — learn where conservative talkers ranked in that much-discussed UK Telegraph list of “100 Most Influential U.S. Conservatives.” Some stuff that came in after my deadline: * Bill […]

This is an unusual headline for a major news story with just days remaining in the race: “Coakley underestimated Scott Brown in Mass. Senate race. And that’s at the Boston Globe too, where the editors just endorsed the lackluster Coakley over the insurgent Republican Brown: After Attorney General Martha Coakley sailed largely unscathed through the […]

There is a lot of analysis going on about Obama’s first year and why, it seems, his job approval numbers are so dismal. And why, given the promise he brought to the White House, at least according to the PR faithfully pushed by his campaign, are Democrats looking at the possibility of large net losses […]

What is happening in Massachusetts right now is incredible by any measure. The Democrats are so scared of losing this seat to Republican Scott Brown, they now have Pres. Obama coming to stump for Democrat: Martha Coakley. Even if Brown loses, the fact that he came so close in this bluer than blue state tells us […]

As Michelle Malkin points out, Danny Glover is the left’s Pat Robertson. Tim Blair: “Actor Danny Glover believes that the Haitian earthquake was caused by climate change and global warming…”When we see what we did at the climate summit in Copenhagen, this is the response, this is what happens, you know what I’m sayin’?” In […]

After reading a post by Michelle Malkin that mentions the issue of: an over-zealous prosecution by Martha Coakley: in the Amirault case, and also following up on a link by Instapundit to a Radley Balko item, I first went digging around to see if Coakley: had ever commented on the Amirault: case. Coakley declined to be interviewed for Dorothy […]

From IBD, “Democratic Party Pouring Cash Into Mass. to Stop GOP Upset“: GOP state Sen. Scott Brown may be able to win Tuesday’s special election to fill Ted Kennedy’s old seat. Even if he loses, it’s clear that his campaign’s momentum has sent shock waves through the Democratic Party. “No one thought this would be […]

It would appear that long-shot Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown has a fighting chance of winning the “Ted Kennedy Seat” in Massachusetts. Brown reminded the moderator that the seat was, in fact, “the people’s seat”, not Ted Kennedy’s during a recent debate. And, according to the latest Rasmussen poll, Brown is within 2 points of […]

Posted from TabithaHale.com. If you follow me on Twitter or are a Facebook friend, you know how completely obsessive I’ve been about the disaster in Haiti. I have been watching every news report I can find and have wept over photos. I want nothing more than to get on a plane and go down there. […]

Conservative leaders came together in New York City to address our nation’s most important issues for the “Reclaim American Liberty” Conference.

This may not seem to be a big story in the scheme of things, but I think it speaks to what the GOP is about, how we handle differences, and how we move forward. Liberty University Law School has withdrawn as a co-sponsor of next month’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington because a […]

The Cook County (Chicago) Democrat Party sent out a direct mail piece early this week that listed all the Democrat presidents that brought “prosperity” to this country. Oh they are all there, FDR, Truman, Kennedy, LBJ, Bill Clinton… uh, wait. Isn’t one of ’em missing? You guessed it, Jimmah Carter, the worst president in American […]

Much of this is bloggable, but since I don’t have time, I’m sharing the links with a bit of commentary. I’ll have a couple posts later. Code Pink is asking the Muslim Brotherhood to “cleanse America” and to kidnap George Bush and his family. No, this is not made up. A perspective on Pat Robertson’s […]

The Associated Press reported that the Weekly Standard‘s John McCormack “stumbled as he tried to speak with the Democrat while simultaneously videotaping her and trying to pass a metal grate on a Washington sidewalk.” Funny thing is, though, Meehan has now apologized for McCormack’s “stumble.” See, “Apology Accepted” (via Memeorandum): A remorseful Michael P. Meehan […]

Why when you’re a part of a favored special interest group of course: Unions tentatively struck a deal Tuesday to exempt collectively bargained healthcare plans from a tax on high-cost plans expected to be used to help raise revenue for the healthcare overhaul. The left constantly clamors for “fairness” but quickly throws such concerns under […]

Kenneth Davenport predicts a Scott Brown victory in the Massachusetts special election. See, “Prediction: Shock and Awe in Massachusetts.” And you know, that might be a pretty good bet. From Amy Walter, “How Long Will Massachusetts Dems Feel Blue? Among Enthusiastic Voters, The Bay State’s Senate Race Is A Surprising Dead Heat“: How does a […]

Today the Wall Street Journal asks what many of us have been asking for quite some time — why aren’t the numerous and specific warnings about the real cost and destructiveness of the proposed health care plan being heeded? Of course the simple answer is those who are determined to take health care under the […]

I’ve gotta hand it to Rod Blagojevich, the recently impeached governor of Illinois. The man makes your average Democrat look like Mother Teresa, having made a name for himself by not just his acts of corruption as governor, but by the many uncontrolled, crude, and obnoxious remarks he’s made since he’s become a national figure. […]

A Dec. 26th New York Times article erroneously reported that the Catholic Health Association and the U.S, Conference of Bishops were not agreeing or working together for health reform legislation that would not include abortion funding. Since Democrat Sen. Nelson made abortion an issue in the legislation, and then was bought off, the media have […]
