Conservative Politics, Religion, Culture, and Anything Else
From the monthly archives:
Michael Reagan that is. It seems that the 20th Century’s greatest President’s son is not about to join Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Joe Lieberman on the John McCain’s bandwagon. Like many conservatives, Reagan is having a hard time overlooking the maverick’s attitude.
I’m not as hard on McCain as many other [...]

Last night the four remaining Republicans vying for the nomination debated at the Reagan Presidential Library. I’ll be honest, I was rooting for Mitt and really believed that he won on the substance, issues, and aura.
One of the first things I noticed was that while Mitt was answering the first question Anderson Cooper asked him about [...]

Sources from various Islamist websites are admitting that al Qaeda’s #3 bad guy, Abu Laith al-Libi, was killed. He was likely killed by an American drone in Waziristan region of Pakistan.
Not bad!
This is one aspect of the Bush Administration that unfortunately never gets much play.

… and after Mitt’s loss last night I threw up a little in my mouth witnessing the endorsement take place in front of the words “Ronald Reagan.”
This gives McCain some momentum going into tonight’s debate and with last night’s victory in Florida, cements his early stage front-runnner status at this point in my opinion.
Rudy is a [...]

He finally got the memo: John Edwards is not Presidential material and for the second time in five years he realizes it. It’ll be interesting to see who he endorses in the general now that he’s out six days before Super Tuesday and a day before a high-profile CNN Debate. Like Giuliani (who hasn’t officially [...]

Rudy Giuliani made the right decision when he decided to skip Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina to focus on Florida. The fact that his strategy was unsuccessful does not change the fact that the alternative would have been even more difficult to pull off.
At this moment, the Republican Party is not a conservative [...]

I watched President Bush’s final State of the Union Address last night and reflected on the seven full years of the Bush Presidency, watching with slight trepidation about who might be giving this address next year.
It was sad to see San Fran Nan behind him in the Speaker’s Chair– frumpy ol’ Dennis Hastert next to Dick [...]

Much has been written on this page and others about the state of the Republican party, but little attention is being paid to the possible crumbling of the Democrat coalition that has kept the Democrat Party in contention for the past 30 years. She Who Must Not Be Named and her supporters have done more [...]

Looks like Gollum-McCain is back!
Back in 2000, McCain defeated Dubya in New Hampshire leading some to think that Bush delved too deeply into the gutter in order to win South Carolina. McCain was incensed and subsequently obstructed Bush at every opportunity. Remember when McCain had talks with Tom Daschle back in 2001 about possibly caucusing [...]

Romano Prodi’s left-wing governing coalition has revived the Italian tradition of collapsing governments after losing a vote of confidence and resumed his hobby of resigning as Prime Minsiter. Former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, leading in the opinion polls, is now demanding a snap election. Although President Napolitano wants to avoid holding an election for [...]

I posted this a few days ago but I know some of you had trouble with the Sky video so here is the Youtube version.

This analogy is getting tiresome.
Back in 1960, JFK is said to have inspired an entire youth generation to get involved in public service and made them believe that everyone mattered and had the power to change the world. Sounds a lot like what Jesus Christ does to people, but to Libs JFK is close enough.
So, after Barry’s [...]

South Carolina is another important moment in this election campaign. This time the Dems have a decision to make: is O’Bama’s “fairy tale*” going to end or is She Who Must Not Be Named going to get one step closer to her coronation?
Former Clinton adviser Dick Morris assumes that BJ wants an O’Bama win in [...]

There has been much talk of the demise of the GOP in recent weeks. Rush Limbaugh has been making the case that if Huckabee or McCain are nominated, it will destroy the GOP. In an article today, Peggy Noonan states that the GOP is already in shambles, and it is because of George W. Bush.

I guess the pressure, lack of funds, and being wrong on nearly everything has finally gotten to Dennis Kucinich who is set to announce the end of his bid to be our next President tomorrow. Maybe it was the fear of alien retaliation if he lost his House seat that finally did it. Maybe not.

I ran across this interesting article about the possibility of Thompson becoming the nominee if the Republican Party heads into a brokered convention. The article poises that if McCain, Romney, and Huckabee all gain a number of delegates on Super Tuesday and beyond, and none have enough for the nomination, a brokered convention may turn to [...]

The media would have you believed that the Republican nomination is all-but over, and John McCain is the nominee. What this is is more of a case of the media hoping that their protege Republican will get the nod based on his perceived strength against the Democrats and his inevitability, much in the same way [...]

Earlier today, Ryan offered his thoughts on Duncan Hunter’s endorsement of Mike Huckabee. Like many others across the internet, he is perplexed by it. This isn’t the first strange endorsement however. Captain’s Quarters has detected many bizarre Republican endorsements for 2008. I expect this to continue.
Most Republican primary endorsements until the [...]

Duncan Hunter has just endorsed Huckleberry Mike for President. Some are quite miffed by this latest development. Aside from both men being pro-life, Hunter’s endorsement is kind of odd: he likes Huckleberry’s position and potential on border security, emerging China, and national defense apparently more than the remaining candidates, but how does Huckleberry really stand out over [...]

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was having a major mood swing today:
…sell sell sell… sell sell some more… buy buy buy buy buy!!!
At the end of the day, the Dow was up over 12,200 again, being up nearly 300 points when it was all said and done, after having been down as much as 320. [...]

Sal, you would know better than anyone. Please tell me that this liturgical dancing didn’t actually happen where it looks like it happened.

Fred Thompson dropped out of the race for President today. Although he didn’t make it, Senator Thompson should be proud for putting himself out there and giving conservatives their greatest option since 1984. Some say he entered too late. Others say he didn’t campaign hard enough. Whether these sentiments are true, [...]

This video (about 3 minutes) at CentreRight of William Hague mocking Gordon Brown reminded me why Hague is my favorite foreign politician. It’s geek humor, but if you know British politics, especially the Blair-Brown feud, you will laugh at loud. Even Labour leaders did. If you decide to click through to the [...]

Australian-born actor Heath Ledger was found dead today in his Manhattan apartment today. It’s still too early to tell what the detail are, but he was allegedly surrounded by many pills.
Ledger was 28 and a well-known actor.
Ledger has been in many movies, including the upcoming The Dark Knight movie where he plays the “Joker” in [...]

The Republican Party over the course of my lifetime has been a source of both hope and frustration. Hope because it represents the best chance for a return to the ideals of our Constitution, and for advancing the cause of Conservatism. Even our moderate Presidents have helped to stem the tide of liberalism by blocking [...]

Tonight’s Democrat debate televised on one of their party’s cable channels was actually worth watching because what Rush calls the Uncivil War is heating up. It also serves to remind people that She Who Must Not Be Named is quite . . . um . . . unappealing . . . yeah, unappealing, when [...]

Barack Obama has once again shown the world that he is the most honest of the three Democrat frontrunners when he essentially admitted that Republicans were right all along.
