Last week, Harry Reid complained that President Bush was acting like a “bully” right before he decided to keep the Senate in session during the Thanksgiving break to avoid any “controversial” recess appointments.

You know how everyone intuitively understands that the death penalty stops some (not all) criminals? Among friends, I’ve had discussions where people wonder why anyone would commit a murder in Texas. Criminals seem absolutely terrified of being extradited to Texas for good reason. In Texas, they get killed, good and dead. You know how all […]

Remember last month when the anti-war feminista fruitcakes at Coke Pink defaced the Marine recruiting center in Berkeley? Well, they haven’t given up on their plans to try and have it shut down. W.

Earlier this week, Chris and I were watching a CNN investigative report on the use of performance enhancing dugs in professional wrestling.

What does a small-c-conservative Jew do with the Saudis? Their latest exercise (or perhaps merely their latest one to draw worldwide attention) in medieval brutality, in which a female rape victim has been “sentenced” for her “crime” (see here for a more precise explanation of what really happened) is already well known on the Web.

“The American Revolution has ceased to be a story that we tell in our popular culture.” That’s a quote from New York Historical Society Curator Richard Rabinowitz, answering a question in a recent Associated Press article about the forgotten history of Marquis de Lafayette, a man instrumental in helping our American revolutionaries succeed in throwing […]

Except this time, it’s the Lakeport One. One, because the other two were shot and killed in a robbery. Three black men broke into the home of the Edmonds family, who are white.

You’d think that, by now, that would be obvious to her. She’s just one of those people we’ll continue to tolerate, but secretly hope that they are negotiating to Canada, where they will move, live and die in liberal paradise (likely because of universal health care, but that’s an entirely different can of worms). We […]

If you’re looking for some great conservative candidates to support in 2008, head on over to Slatecard and chip in a few bucks to some of the candidates I’ve selected because they’re in particularly important races.

Let’s review: – The 700 Club has approximately 850,000 viewers – The population of the United States of America is 300 million – Do the math Pat Robertson’s continued high profile has everything to do with the liberal mainstream media’s religious illiteracy and its need for a cartoon character to represent those “Evil Right Wing […]

Many conservatives believe that human life begins at conception, and that destruction of human embryos in scientific research, such as cloning research, is wrong. Meanwhile, the left often claims that those who object to research using human embryos are standing in the way of scientific progress and saving lives. That claim was presented rather dramatically, […]

If a CEO of a fortune 500 company were to retire, would anyone seriously consider his wife to be an adequate replacement simply because she was married to him when he ran the company? What about a Super Bowl winning football team? What do you think the reaction of their fans would be if their […]

Question: “Without laughing, could you tell us what you would do if Ron Paul actually won the primary? I know you, like most pundits/media commenters everywhere, see the campaign as a joke, run by nazis, etc. But would you support him as the Republican candidate, even given his antiwar stance, or would you go with […]

Question: “What happens to social conservatives if Rudy is the nominee, the “base” stays home, and he wins anyway?” — RtWingNtCase Answer: I think it would mean that people would pay a lot less attention to the wants and desires of social conservatives because they’d assume that they were unable to make an impact during […]

Question: “Despite a few temporary victories here and there, such as delaying the amnesty bill, I still see a slow slide towards socialism and Democrat party control in the U.S. Do you think the future of the U.S. is Socialism/Decline/Decay or is there a chance to return to Freedom as envisioned by the Founding Fathers?” […]

“Fred Thompson’s immigration plan seems to include a contradiction. He promises to bolster border security, yet his plan relies on “attrition through enforcement”, or the self-deportation of illegals going back to Mexico. Illegals can not exit through a secure border, nor is it likely that they will attempt to if they have no way to […]

Question: Lakers head coach Phil Jackson is in a bit of trouble after some postgame comments: “The Spurs made 13 3-pointers in their 107-92 victory on Tuesday night, and Jackson was asked if too much penetration was leading to open outside shooters. “We call this a ‘Brokeback Mountain’ game, because there’s so much penetration and […]
