“Well, recently, a friend of mine reminded me that just prior to the 2006 election, consumer confidence was unbelievably high; regular gasoline sold for about $2.25-a-gallon; and the unemployment rate was 4.5%. Since then, consumer confidence has plummeted; gas now costs about a dollar-and-a-half-a-gallon more; unemployment stands at 5%; American homeowners have seen their home […]

If you’re in North Carolina, we’re getting pretty close to the primary and on the GOP side, it’s down to Fred Smith, who’s a businessman, a veteran, and a diehard conservative — and Pat McCrory, who’s a RINO. There are some other decent candidates running, but realistically, it’s going to be Smith or McCrory. So, […]

A few weeks ago, I ran an article called “Interviewing Six Conservative Female Bloggers On Dating.” The article received a lot of attention, drew a lot of links, and people were still discussing it weeks after the original piece came out. So, I figured now would be a great time to do a part two. […]

After the last John McCain teleconference, the bloggers that participated were told they could email in any questions they didn’t get to ask. I took that opportunity to ask John McCain the following question, “You have said many times that you believe that the American people signaled, during the fight over comprehensive immigration reform, that […]

Via the WAPO, here’s the latest bit of nonsense unscrupulous trial lawyers are using to get the worst sort of scum back on the streets, Studies have shown that up to 62 percent of antisocial and criminal behavior is “heritable,” a rough measure of a genetic contribution. And in a few cases, courts have allowed […]

This is why: Rome, Apr 23, 2008 (CNA).- Nearly 70 percent of Italian gynecologists are now refusing to perform abortions on moral grounds, Agence France Presse reports. A report by Italy’s ministry of health on Tuesday reported that between 2003 and 2007 the number of gynecologists invoking a conscientious objection clause in their refusal to […]

One really must stop and appreciate this bit of irony, especially with Reid, Pelosi and Dean Reid, Pelosi and Dean threatening to weigh in on the candidate selection. I should say: light-weight in. But I digress. No matter how you slice it, what is now a fact, is that, the party that calls itself the […]

A flashback to when baseball and patriotism were still synonymous: Ed at Hot Air writes: I’ve written about this before at Captain’s Quarters, but the context bears repeating. In 1976, a sense of ennui had gripped the nation. In a year-long bicentennial celebration, many wondered if the economic stagnation that had lasted all decade meant […]

So when will Ramos and Compean be released? Here’s the story: The Mexican national who was the star witness in a controversial prosecution that resulted in the sentencing of two Border Patrol agents to more than a decade in prison pleaded guilty to multiple drug charges in federal court Thursday. On Feb. 17, 2005, Osvaldo […]

Does anyone love John McCain besides his family and Joe Lieberman and certain segments of the press? I’ve pondered before that moderates get no love because they tend to piss everyone off–kinda like countries claiming to be neutral. Pick a side and stay on it. McCain claims to transcend politics, to be motivated to do […]

You can listen to our exclusive interview from Thursday with Bob Barr, who was my guest in the Commissioner’s Corner on Attitude! Radio. It looks like Bob Barr is putting the final touches on turning his exploratory committee into a presidential committee and may soon announce his intention to seek the nomination for president for […]

Chris Wallace and Barack Obama sat down today for an interview. The transcript is here. Mixed reviews from the leftosphere. Some liked it, some weren’t at all impressed. Most recognized that Obama was taking the opportunity of an interview on a network considered to be right leaning to distance himself from the far left. He […]

This sorta follows up on what Gina Cobb wrote yesterday, both on Right Wing News and her own site, so, let’s see Democratic rivals Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton turned up the rhetoric Saturday in their increasingly heated presidential primary battle as she issued a new debate challenge and he complained of a race […]

This is, what, the third or fourth attempt by the NYT to squeeze a scandal out of the Mc? Given Senator John McCain’s signature stance on campaign finance reform, it was not surprising that he backed legislation last year requiring presidential candidates to pay the actual cost of flying on corporate jets. The law, which […]

I returned yesterday after spending a couple days in Harrisburg PA, attending the PA Leadership Conference, which featured over 500+ conservatives and speaks like Michael Steele, Pat Toomey, Michelle Malkin, Paul Kengor, Grover Norquist and others. On Friday night, I hosted a live BlogTalkRadio show from the event with Skye from Midnight Blue and our […]

Chrissy Matthews remains clueless that support and opposition to Obama for the majority of Americans has nothing to do with the color of his skin. Opposition to Obama has much more to do with his policies and the controversial company he keeps. Listen to the advice he has for Obama: MATTHEWS: You got to talk […]

Gee, Obama seems rather debate-shy lately: Barack Obama, in his first appearance on “FOX News Sunday,” says there will be no more debates before the two May 6 primaries despite repeated challenges from Hillary Clinton to meet him face-to-face. . . . .  Asked why he was repeatedly “ducking” Clinton’s debate challenges before the Indiana […]

* Best, briefest and most entertaining explanation of Mark Steyn’s HRC case, in which he is charged with “blatant Islamophobia”. With funny pictures and everything! * Steyn fights back with superb new counterattack against the self-appointed “hate speech” cops in (also-being-sued) Maclean’s magazine. * “What does Obama have in common with Canada’s Human Rights Commissions?” […]

Last night, I did Conservatives with Attitude radio and it was really a lot of fun, not because I said anything particularly profound, but because people said a lot of nice stuff about me on the air. For a while there, I think I was getting the same feeling that people like Ann Coulter and […]

Earlier this week, I did a phone interview with Carol Platt Liebau about her book, Prude: How the Sex-Obsessed Culture Damages Girls (and America, Too)! What follows is a slightly edited transcript of my interview with Carol: There was a time when feminism actually discouraged marriage and called all sex “rape,” but today the feminist […]

I just got off of a teleconference with John McCain. What follows are my notes, not quotes, from what McCain had to say. Opening Statement I have been traveling to places where they have had trouble participating in the American dream like Inez, Kentucky, Selma, Alabama and the 9th ward in Louisiana. Local government is […]

Although I’m supporting John McCain for President in 2008, I have to admit that I’d rather see Hillary Clinton as his opponent. That’s not because I think she’d be a weaker candidate; it’s because I’d love to see that smug tin god, Barack Obama, humbled and forced to taste bitter defeat at Hillary’s hands. Ironically, […]

Via Michelle Malkin, I learned that there is actually a guy at the Wall Street Journal named Jason Riley who is writing a book called Let Them In:The Case for Open Borders. Believe it or not, the book has Max Boot, Arthur Laffler, and Lawrence Lindsey talking it up — which is disturbing, because you […]

“The Next Six Months. Some Republican or conservative group runs a dumb ad. John McCain nobly distances himself from it. Cable news spends all day talking about it and showing it for free. Rinse. Repeat.” — Atrios

Paul Craig Roberts, whose main claim to fame is being an Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration, who later became ultra liberal and ultra insane, has written a completely crackers column about Iraq for Counterpunch. Just read these excerpts, “…(T)he American sheeple have accepted a succession of transparent lies: weapons of mass […]
