All throughout this campaign season….scratch that….since Reagan left office, conservatives have been looking for the next Reagan. Every presidential candidate is compared to Reagan and if you listen to them, they’ll explain to you why they have more in common with Ronald Reagan than any of the other candidates. However, great Presidents like Ronald Reagan […]

The Democrats have been working to undercut the war in Iraq for months with one goal: getting enough blue state Republicans to go along with them in September of this year to put a timeline on the war. The idea was supposed to be that David Petraeus would come in, give a talk to Congress, […]

From USA Today, “A U.S. plan to expand fences along the Mexican border to stem illegal immigration is an insult to all Latin Americans, Argentine President Nestor Kirchner said Tuesday during a visit to Mexico. “It’s not just an insult to our sister nation of Mexico, but to all the nations of Latin America and […]

I’d like to thank yesterday’s guest bloggers for helping out. They are Cassy Fiano Lorie Byrd from Wizbang Michael Illions from Polipundit Dr. Melissa Clouthier Also, Amanda Carpenter from Townhall was going to do a post late yesterday, but since it sounded like a post that might get some attention, I told her to save […]

If all the Democrat Senators, Congressmen, Presidential Candidates and KosKids sound alike, here’s a clue: They are alike. Exactly. How much alike? Well, let’s see. For an example, Democrat Senators vote together this much: 97.8% – Dick Durbin (D-IL) 97.1% – Ben Cardin (D-MD) 97.1% – Daniel Inouye (D-HI) 97.1% – Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) 97.0% […]

Yes, that is my title to this blog post. I have done a complete 180 on my original calls for Congress to intervene and investigate the rampant steorid and drug use in Professional Wrestling. My original thoughts after the Chris Benoit Double Murder-Suicide was that someone had to do something and that Congress should get […]

In what amounts to giving the US the finger, Iraqi’s Parliment decided to take a summer vacation and head to the Jersey shore, and will return in September: BAGHDAD — Iraq’s parliament on Monday shrugged off U.S. criticism and adjourned for a month, as key lawmakers declared there was no point waiting any longer for […]

Congressional panel will conduct investigation to see whether Mexico played a role in helping prosecute the 2 Border Agents: The House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on International Organizations, Human Rights, and Oversight will hold a hearing on the case of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean.

Gordon Brown has disappointed some in the anti-war movement with his recent comments: Britain’s new prime minister, Gordon Brown, has disappointed American and British critics of the war in Iraq by declaring that he believes the West is involved in a “generation-long battle” against radical Islamic terrorism, that he believes the American mission in Iraq […]

As if we needed any more reminders that Europe is plunging dangerously deeper and deeper into depravity and moonbattery, the German Federal Health Education Center (a subsidiary of the German government’s Ministry for Family Affairs) released a booklet proving that it can, and will get worse. The German government is encouraging parents to engage in […]

Newt is running for President. His recent Fox appearance criticizing Detroit are being met with outrage. It’s getting him even more free attention. I’d love for him to join the race. He’s articulate and can speak visually. That is, people see what he means immediately. That kind of clarity would be like a cool rain […]

You know, I don’t watch the Fox show So You Think You Can Dance?. Never have, probably never will. Actually, I take that back: I think I watched five minutes of the auditions the first season, got bored, and never watched it again. I’m surprised it’s even still on the air. And apparently, they’ve whipped […]

Last week Sen. Dick Durbin (D.-Ill.) kicked off what was a first-of-its-kind experiment in legislating. The No. 2 Democrat in the Senate asked ordinary citizens and experts in telecom policy to share their thoughts and ideas about a national broadband bill that he would soon be writing. Over the course of four days, Durbin sought […]

Luckily, the applied standard for defamation when applied to major media outlets is “actual malice,” meaning that a plaintiff must show that a newspaper intentionally attempted to destroy the credibility and/or image of the public person they’re being accused of maligning. Meaning, of course, that when Cynthia McKinney finally files this suit against the Atlanta […]

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has rewritten his signature ethics reform bill to strip it of meaningful earmark reform, a remarkable development for a Democrat who promised to clean up Washington. Text of the bill was released this morning and is available at the Porkbusters website. Senators Tom Coburn (R.-Okla.) and Jim DeMint (R.-S.C.) have […]

Cross-posted from IMAO.us Usually IMAO flies under the radar of left-wing blogs. They want stuff to be angry about, but who could be angry at fun-loving IMAO? We only want to nuke the moon — there aren’t even people there to hurt. Still, we’ve had our run ins with some of them such as when […]

When I first heard that the GOP version of the CNN/YouTube debate was in jeopardy last Thursday, I figured conservative bloggers would rally together and pressure the candidates to sign up. After supporting the Save the Debate petition and penning a column about it, I’ve found that there’s hardly a unified stance on the right. […]

Cross-posted from IMAO.us O’Reilly’s has been hammering DailyKos for being a hate site, something obvious to anyone who has scanned the front page.

Hi, it’s me, Frank J. of IMAO.us — the world’s most famous Frank J. Anyway, please watch this. It’s supposedly a DNC production and mercifully only about thirty seconds long: Holy crap that was lame! I’m starting to think I should do a museum of lame attempts of humor by politicians and political groups, starting […]

Facing the embarrassing debacle of a sophomoric debated hosted by the Clinton News Network and various cartoon characters from YouTube, only two GOP candidates, Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani, have had the courage to decline the invitation, and even they claim scheduling conflict (even though Romney has been quoted as saying, "I think the presidency […]

Gordon Brown: The Maverick. This man will change the nature of the relationship between the U.S. and Britain. He will change the language of war. He will be partner not a “lap dog” like Blair. And the British press, both left and right, want out of Iraq. Up until today, Brown gave signals that he […]

My blog, RelapsedCatholic, turns seven this summer. I’ve been provoking, amusing and offending my fellow Canadians (not to mention a lot of Americans) since 2000 — but alas, the real badge of “success” up here eludes me: still no ominous letter from the Human Rights Commission (which exists solely to bankrupt other outspoken, politically incorrect […]

Question: “Keep in mind this question is coming from someone who has almost no memory of the cold war (I was very young when it ended), and who has lived in country on the other side of the world all their lives. What is so inherently EVIL about communism? It seems like a dumb way […]

Question: “Are political parties in this country too ideologically driven for their own good? Would America benefit from having parties less cohesive in their politics – i.e. a Republican party that includes not just conservatives, but liberals and moderates as well, and vice versa for the Democrats? Is the drive towards ideological purity within each […]

Rudy Giuliani & Mitt Romney are now wavering on participating in the CNN/You Tube debate. So, why are they scared to get up on the stage? Is Rudy afraid they’re going to ask him about his philandering, why so many New York firefighters hate him, or about his business relationship with Bernard Kerkik? Is Mitt […]
