Over at the Atlantic, Ross Douthat wrote a much quoted response to Rush Limbaugh that read in part, “The bigger point (and I know I’m a broken record here) is this. Whatever direction you think conservatism should be going in from here on out, the absolute worst thing the members of a losing political movement […]

Hey, folks, John Murtha, that corrupt, dishonest, kleptocrat who has insulted our troops says that there is no “No godd*mned way” that Bill Russell is going to beat him. Of course, the last poll out in the district showed Russell over Murtha by 13 points — but, the Democrats are pouring money into the district […]

Some people are upset that Sarah Palin is coming across as more than a little squishy on illegal immigration lately. For example, here’s Palin talking to Univision, Governor, let me ask you about immigration. How many undocumented immigrants are there in Alaska? I don’t know, I don’t know. That’s a good question. As governor, how […]

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a good judge of bad TV. Setting aside the fact that I’m a complete Philistine who tends to like trash TV, I do almost no channel surfing and rarely watch anything other than my favorite shows via DVR. That being said, I accidentally happened across a […]

More than one friend, both blogger and non-political observers, have warned me that my credibility will be dirt should I hold to the delusion that McCain can pull this election out. My response has been to say, “Shut up and vote. It’s over when it’s over.” In 2006, I’ll admit it: I didn’t want to […]

Obama has been speaking out of both sides of his mouth when it comes to defense: When it comes to defense, there are two Barack Obamas in this race. There is the candidate who insists, as he did last year in an article in Foreign Affairs, that “a strong military is, more than anything, necessary […]

On this week’s edition of Right Wing News Radio on Blogtalkradio, I talked about the GOP’s election prospects, McCain’s campaign, a blogger poll on the election, Sarah Palin, the Republican Party’s problem, & why you can’t build a political party around moderates. Make sure to listen to it because I dropped more political science in […]

Most polls report that 11% or so of the populace remains undecided a week outside the election. I don’t believe it. People have decided alright–they’re just afraid to say it. Have you ever seen so much peer pressure to vote a certain way? Smart, nuanced, enlightened, informed, hopeful, and “with it” people vote for Barack […]

SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. — An icy rain didn’t stop thousands from turning out for a McCain-Palin rally this morning in Hershey, Pa., and they were fired up by John McCain’s never-say-die speech. “Let me give you the state of the race today,” the candidate said. “There’s one week to go. We’re a few points down. The […]

Obamanomics is based on the morally repugnant class warfare principle of setting aside a group of people called “the rich,” who are to be pillaged and exploited for the sake of everyone else. Under Stalin, to qualify as rich you only needed to own more than one samovar (a device for brewing tea found in […]

Like other totalitarian movements, Obamunism obsessively targets children. If you thought NBC Universal head honcho Jeff Zucker’s Village of the Obamatrons video was creepy, check out the Kids for Obama page on the Moonbat Messiah’s own website: The one thing most grandparents have in common is that they have the most wonderful grandchildren in the […]

When John McCain wins, won’t the world, Democrats and even establishment Republicans be shocked? I still say that McCain will win. Vote people. The last election came down to just over 500 votes. [Update: That would be the 2000 election. Ooops! The last election came down to 100,000 votes. Still, that’s close.] I’m not the […]

The lefties in the mainstream media are going all out to destroy Sarah Palin in part because they resent the idea of having a Republican who’s the most prominent female politician in the country and in part because she excites conservatives and they fear anyone who can do that. The squishes and the inside the […]

“In Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, Obama placed 155% more ad units (62,022 vs. 24,273) than McCain between October 6 and October 26, 2008. As of October 22, Obama had placed 150% more ad units (53,049 vs. 21,106) than McCain in those key battleground states. Obama’s advertising continues to be heaviest in […]

Back on October 31, 2007, I wrote the following about Ted Stevens: Setting aside the fact that he’s 84 years and one of the biggest pork pushers in the entire Senate, he’s completely corrupt….If the GOP runs someone this crooked in the general election in 2008, then we deserve to lose the seat to the […]

You may think that I’m making fun of Obama with this Bingo card, but if the ObamaMessiah gets in the White House, all games that don’t mention him in some fashion will probably be declared racist. So, I’m just getting a headstart on the whole process…

Over at Heading Right, Jon Henke is talking about building a Rightroots movement, Does the Rightosphere not organize as well because of the nature of the online Republicans? Or do the online Republicans not organize as well because of problems with the Republican Party? I think it’s mostly the latter – something that can be […]

Here’s the thing about so-called “Moderates”: they have no loyalty to any ideal but pragmatism. And pragmatism is defined as “what’s good for me.” The latest ostensible voice of reason is moderate pragmatist David Frum. He is full of artful, empty prose. In a nutshell, McCain will lose. It is Palin’s fault. Stop spending money […]

With oil bouncing around at about in the low sixties, there are some anxious OPEC nations out there. But as you’ll see in the very instructive chart below, some are more anxious than others: The following are estimates from Washington-based consultancy PFC Energy of how much various OPEC countries need on average to balance their […]

Bill Kristol announced the extremely sad news today on the Weekly Standard’s blog: It’s my sad duty to report that our good friend and valued contributor Dean Barnett passed away today. He was a remarkable man–principled, witty, and to all of us, a model of grace and courage. We mourn his passing and cherish his […]

Here’s another foretaste of life in Obama Nation. Joe the Plumber challenged The One’s Marxist economic plans and came to symbolize the normal hard-working Americans who would be crushed so that Obama can “spread the wealth around.” As punishment, the Obamedia has crawled over Joe Wurzelbacher’s life like a plague of cockroaches, waggling its antennae […]

Passing off Barack Obama as a legitimate presidential candidate despite his radical ideology, vile associates, and lack of qualifications has been a big job for the media. Jonathan Valania at the Philadelphia Enquirer gives some insight into the mentality that keeps journalists motivated for this Herculean task in a piece entitled “White People Shouldn’t Be […]

This infuriates me: Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers, some of whom are currently working for Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin’s bid for the White House, have been involved in spreading ant-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election. . . . Some former Romney aides were behind the […]

Please note that it’s not whether redistribution of wealth is even the right thing to do, but how best to redistribute wealth. Investor’s Business Daily calls Obama’s beliefs “stealth socialism“. It’s not so stealthy if you have eyes to see. And here, you’ll find that Obama’s ideology mirrors what his father hoped to achieve in […]

Someone I went to high school with sent this to me this week-end and it’s a very apt analogy…

Given our current situation, it’s deeply ironic that moderate Republicans spent the last few years completely ignoring conservative concerns and insisting that if only the dumb right-wingers would listen to them, they’d create a majority that would last for 40 years. Let’s see, there was Campaign Finance Reform, the Medicare Prescription Drug Program, No Child […]
