history
It was with mixed emotions that I watched the inauguration of our 44th President, Barack Obama. As a conservative, I have an obligation to stand up for what I believe is right, and to oppose about 95% of what our new President wants to do. But it’s hard not to get caught up in the [...]
sanford to the feds: no thanks
I love this guy. Send him to D.C.
Governor Sanford says – we don’t want your money, feds:
In 2008 bailouts became the first resort. Over the past year the federal government has committed itself to $2.3 trillion (including the tax rebate “stimulus” checks of last February) to “improve” the economy. I don’t see how another $150 [...]
making stuff up
You know that story about Sarah Palin not knowing that Africa is a continent? Total fabrication. Even the New York Times admits it. Credit the New York Times for finally reporting the correct story, but the damage has already been done. The truth doesn’t matter when the media has a reputation to destroy, and they [...]
aftermath
The time has already come for assessing blame and naming those at fault for the McCain loss. It didn’t take long for anonymous McCain staffers to trash Sarah Palin (without having the guts to put their names on the allegations). That takes real courage, doesn’t it? The debate isn’t over Sarah Palin’s qualifications or knowledge [...]
history
Congratulations to President-elect Barack Obama. It’s truly a historic achievement, and I’m proud of my country for finally breaking this barrier that has been in place for a very long time. He ran a great campaign, and he was able to blunt all the Republican arguments against him without much effort. There will be more [...]
for entertainment purposes only
Oh no… Obama is so much like Bush!!! This link to similarities between President Bush and Barack Obama’s rhetoric / record is posted merely for the expected leftist meltdown it would cause. Of course, the writer also notes when Obama has changed his position to mirror that of the Bush administration. Good stuff. For the [...]
the quotable mark steyn
From the Corner:
This is an amazing race. The incumbent president has approval ratings somewhere between Robert Mugabe and the ebola virus. The economy is supposedly on the brink of global Armageddon. McCain has only $80 million to spend, while Obama’s burning through $600 mil as fast as he can, and he doesn’t really need to spend [...]
some thoughts on the infomercial
Since I didn’t watch it, I will leave it to others to analyze the content. I would just like to point out that no one does political infomercials like Ross Perot. The accent, the big ears, and the pie charts were very entertaining, and that’s where the American people got the real Straight Talk before [...]
parker, palin, and our flawed republican nominee
If you’re wondering why more conservative Republican women aren’t volunteering to run for higher office, or even for state races, witness the attempted destruction of Sarah Palin. How many other women could handle such abuse with the grace and class that Sarah has shown throughout this process? There are fair criticisms of her resume, just [...]
vote for fred
If only Fred Thompson had decided to make a serious effort to run for President at the beginning, we might not be stuck with McCain now. So thanks Fred.
Now that Fred has zero chance of being President himself, he tries his best to inspire the people for McCain and to make the argument McCain has [...]
