Global warming is the impending doom we have to stop before we all die horrible fiery deaths. At least, it was back in 2006 when Al Gore released “An Inconvenient Truth.” Three years later, it’s “climate change” that’s the future boogeyman. Well, ski resorts are loving the climate change. It seems it’s good for the […]

There’s a tight race shaping up in a special election on Nov 3 for CA – 10. It pits Republican David Harmer against Pelosi Democrat and CA: Lt. Gov. John Garamendi. The race has national implications for several reasons. Not only is Garamendi a tax man, he has been: one of the main players in stopping oil […]

Good heavens. The Chicago riff-raff actually thinks they have a place at the table with Obama’s education reformers? It was bad enough they had to put up with the little people when they were back in Chicago. It isn’t as if the people have anything to offer this administration. They already know so much better […]

From Reuters: NEW YORK (Reuters) – The Connecticut attorney general is seeking information about what the state’s five largest health insurers may have sent policyholders over legislation that would reform the Medicare program for the elderly. The information requests announced on Friday follow a U.S. government probe announced last month into a letter sent from […]

Well, there’s an interesting development. Former Bush political adviser Karl Rove “has signaled his preference” in Florida’s U.S. Senate race “with his wallet.” Rove confirmed to NBC News “that he has contributed a $1000 to Rubio’s campaign, the donation will be made public when Rubio files his next FEC report (due Oct. 15).” “This comes […]

From Dean Esmay, “Is Conservatism Becoming More Muscular?“: Eric thinks so, but me, I’m not seeing it. Sure, people who call themselves conservatives are more angry right now, but they also seem a lot less thoughtful and well-informed than the conservatism I remember from 10, 20 years ago. A movement once full of stellar intellectual […]

Headline: Fear of Losing Private Health Insurance Trumps ‘Public Option’ Sixty-three percent (63%) of voters nationwide say guaranteeing that no one is forced to change their health insurance coverage is a higher priority than giving consumers the choice of a “public option” health insurance company. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just […]

From Pat in Shreveport, “Rachel Maddow Attacks Stacy McCain“::  Rachel Maddow on Meet the Press this morning, called Robert Stacy McCain a white supremacist. I’m thinking she’s been listening to Charles Johnson a little too much. The panel was discussing the Sarah Palin book, Going Rogue, when Maddow offers her criticism of Lynn Vincent, Palin’s […]

From the New York Times, “Obama Aide Concedes Climate Law Must Wait” (via Memeorandum): President Obama’s top climate and energy official said Friday that there was virtually no chance Congress would have a climate and energy bill ready for him to sign before negotiations on a global climate treaty begin in December in Copenhagen. The […]

Brett Stephens had a great essay last week, “The Neocons Make a Comeback.” But check out Dr. Sanity, “NEOCONSERVATIVE REALISM“: Neoconservatism has been pronounced dead by its opponents many times in the decades since its ideas were first formulated. The reasons tha these rumors of its death are constantly exaggerated is due to the fact […]

So President Obama went to Copenhagen, to “convince” the IOC that Chicago should get the 2016 Games. He failed. Rio got them instead. And all along the way, some of the most popular, widest-read, most influential conservative columnists were getting it wrong. For example, Allahpundit: There’s no way The One would risk his political capital […]

So David Letterman is a chronic adulterer whose failings made him a target for blackmail. “Just imagine how this would play if it were Glenn Beck,” Glenn “Instapundit” Reynolds writes. Yeah, good point. Not that major media haven’t covered it — it was the lead story on Yahoo for large portions of Thursday and Friday, […]

So the Olympics won’t be in Chicago. Excuse me while I recover from my heartbreak. Here’s the thing: our mission is not to bring down Obama. Our mission is to support free markets, personal liberty, and accountability. This movement isn’t about Barack Obama the man. This is about what he stands for, which is big […]

Quite am amazing combination of two You Tube clips via Townhall here and below. The first involves Obama’s Olympian defeat and the concept of Michelle Obama’s noble “sacrifice.” The second clip involves a press conference around the uncharitable William Henry Gates, Jr. Watch the shock and awe experienced by CNN in both instances. This is […]

From Dan Balz, “A Republican Comeback?“: Are Republicans at a low ebb or making a comeback? The question is prompted by the new release from the Gallup organization, which showed that the gap in party identification is now the smallest it has been since 2005. Democrats are still in the lead, but not by the […]

You know, it’s bad enough that we have cowardly Congressman Alan Grayson attacking conservatives as “knuckle dragging Neanderthals.” That slur apparently received a warm welcome by the Democratic leadership. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared that Represenative Grayson has no need to apologize, and that’s despite widespread condemnation of Grayson from mainstream quarters. Gloria Borger decried […]

Yeah, that’s me on the right. As you may have heard, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case against Chicago’s gun ban this week. Therefore, we can expect lots of hysteria from know-nothing anti-gun crusaders who get all their facts from Michael Moore documentaries. I’ve written about gun rights–here and here. The hate […]

It’s getting so it is hard to keep up with all these guys. Anes Subasic – a Bosnian Muslim. Plenty of info and links via Wikio. A CD labeled “September 11, 2001” in Arabic? Gee, what could that possibly be? RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Federal investigators have searched the home of a North Carolina terrorism […]

(Cross-posted on my blog, Herzogian.) My column on YAF’s “No More Che Day”–an effort to expose the real Che Guevara and his role in the Castro regime–ran on Townhall yesterday. Enjoy! On the eve of the French Revolution, the aristocrats inhabiting the palace of Versailles enjoyed, “as an ironic lark, sporting the clothing of the […]

I started vlogging a few weeks ago and completed my third episode last night. I’d love to hear your feedback: Here is the first one, the “Why the Right Opposes ObamaCare” and the second, “How The Left Uses Race to Try to Silence Criticism…and Why They Fail .” Let me know what you think in […]

On October 1, 1949, Mao Zedong led the Communist Party of China into power. Since then, anywhere between 35 to 65 million people have been killed in China by the communists. The Great Leap Forward was the second five year plan implemented by Mao in 1959. It was intended to rapidly develop China’s industrial sector […]

My friends at ProjectVirginia have a non-partisan effort going to get absentee ballots into the hands of military personnel who want them. The deadline is approaching. Consider this a guest post they put together. For all the attention paid to the recent voting in Iraq and Afghanistan, one would think that the process for getting […]

Liz Cheney was one of the featured speakers at the Smart Girl Summit in Nashville. She is currently being stalked by a New York TImes reporter who introduced himself to the RFC Radio crew as we were doing our live remote. While I can be quite engaging, he was more attracted to another member of […]

A great report at today’s Los Angeles Times, “In Canada, a Move Toward a Private Healthcare Option“: When the pain in Christina Woodkey’s legs became so severe that she could no long hike or cross-country ski, she went to her local health clinic. The Calgary, Canada, resident was told she’d need to see a hip […]

It’s really easy to be an ace journalist for the Atlantic if you never leave your underground blogging lair. On the other hand, real journalists know how to pick up a telephone and make a couple phone calls before they start banging away on their keyboards. Like the man himself says: Reporting ain’t rocket science. […]

I never cease to be amazed at the despicable political opportunism of radical leftists today. The latest episode involves the death of Kimberly Young in Ohio. The 22 year-old was a recent graduate of Miami Univeristy of Ohio. She died of complications from Swine Flu after a two week struggle. Condolences go to her family […]

Kevin Jennings, director of the White House “Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools” (a.k.a. the “Safe Schools Czar”), is the latest Obama czar to come under conservative fire. The main reason, purportedly: he thinks schools are an awesome place to promote homosexuality. Pat “And So It Goes in Shreveport” Austin has a great rundown […]

Just imagine: your philosophy calls for large-scale government intrusion in everyday life. Government should control industry. Control health care. The profit motive has no place in your ideal society. Capitalism is the problem. You are a member of the National Socialist Party, better known as the Nazis. Oh, yes, they exist, right here in the […]

I’ve had a busy week. I’ve been on Glenn Beck and Lou Dobbs to Discuss a Video Critique I made of “The Story of Stuff” back in May. Lou Dobbs Glenn Beck Part 1 of my Critique
