Conservative Politics, Religion, Culture, and Anything Else
From the category archives:
Democrat Party lackeys Rahm Emmanuel, Stanley Greenberg, Paul Begala and James Carville had been purposely targeting Rush Limbaugh as the new focus of evil in the modern world, according to the Politico today. No surprise here — they got all they could from picking on Sarah Palin, who’s getting back to a normalcy in Alaska. So, they took [...]

I was sitting at the car dealership yesterday getting ready to pick up my new sweet ride, when I looked at the clock. It was 4:40pm and I was going to miss Rush’s speech to CPAC. Suddenly, the last people in the waiting room left and I decided to fiddle with the TV in order to see [...]

Though only about a month into the Obama Nation, an early political pattern may be developing: Obama remains popular, but the Congressional Dems are slipping. On the eve of Election Day, the generic Congressional ballot gave the Dems a six-point lead in Rasmussen’s poll. Today they only have a one-point lead, a statistical tie and a consistent downward slide since November 4. [...]

The Stimulus Package is going to be law by Tuesday. We all knew from November 4th that we weren’t going to win many battles. This is no exception, in fact it’s the perfect example: We tried. We lost. That’s that. No use whining anymore; it’s happened. The time has come for action in the arena [...]

Blago is now the former Governor of Illinois.
In a 59-0 vote, the Illinois State Senate sent a message to Rod Blagojevich: don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out the door! Don’t worry, every single media outlet within 3000 miles will want to hear Blago’s side of the story — how his trials and tribulations [...]

Sweetness. Not a single Republican broke ranks to vote for the $819 billion “stimulus” package (not including the extra 300 million or so in interest we’ll eventually have to pay on the deficit because of this bill), and 11 Blue Dogs decided they wanted to be reelected in 2010 without the stench of this monstrosity.
I anticipate [...]

New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg has always been a liberal, occasionally piggy-backing on others during his climb to power (read: Rudy Giuliani).
That being said, Mayor Mike’s thin skin (or utter reluctance to criticize the Kennedy Klan) came out when he described the press’ treatment of CAROLINE KENNEDY as “reprehensible” and ”totally inappropriate” in regards to the [...]

Harry Reid has announced that he plans to try to seat Al Franken this week, even as an election contest by Norm Colman looms. Under Minnesota Law, a Senator cannot be seated until it is certified by the Governor and Secretary of State. It is also a provision of MN law that the Governor and [...]

Here’s my take on today’s speech:
Shortly after Noon EST, Barack Hussein Obama took a public oath to become America’s 44th President.
The pomp was extravagant ($170 million worth during the “greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression”, $49 million of that directly from our pockets) and still continues as I write this. The Oath itself was [...]

Another Biden Gaffe has surfaced. This time, however, the gaffe comes from Jill Biden, wife of Vice-President Elect Joe Biden. On the Oprah Winfrey Show, Jill Biden told Oprah that Joe Biden was offered either Vice-President or Secretary of State, the post currently slated for Sen. Hillary Clinton. Says Jill Biden:
Joe had the choice of [...]

So what? They’re gay and want to serve. Historically, our hesitancy towards allowing gays in the military always gets stronger when we have no wars and eases when we need bodies to fight. So what’s the big issue when last week, Obama’s people signaled that they want to end the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (DADT) policy [...]

I got a tip on this video from Glenn Beck’s old show where he interviews the always entertaining Mark Steyn on where Michelle Obama thinks this country needs to go:
From my cold dead hands too, Mark!

In 1983, the US Congress and President Reagan made the observed birthday of Martin Luther King Jr a federal holiday. Twenty-six years later, and forty-one years after Dr. King’s assassination, we stand poised to inaugurate America’s first biracial President.
Contemplating that, I ran into this CNN article which shows that nearly 2/3 of America’s black population believe [...]

Of course Abraham Lincoln would be very proud that 144 years after his death, a biracial man is to be inaugurated as our 44th President. Cool. We get it — Obama has a permanent place in history just by showing up this Tuesday.
But just because Obama’s a tall and lanky orator doesn’t automatically mean he’s Lincoln. The comparisons [...]

The American Spectator ran an article yesterday which mixed two things I really love, combining contemporary politics and clever 1980s British satirists through poking fun at Obamanomics using the work of the late Douglas Adams!
Here are a few lines Joseph Lawler draws from Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy:
On the Presidency:
As the alien Ford Prefect explains to the human protagonist Arthur [...]

A friend tipped me off to this video from Annie C’s recent appearance on The View:
Nice move by Ann. She continues to expand her exposure (and market) beyond just the Conservatives who love everything she’s all about… think about the show’s audience: who’s home at 11am to watch The View in the first place? People I typically tend [...]

So, it’s finally happened! I can’t believe it went all the way until 2009 for the Democrats to manufacture enough votes to get Al Franken to win the Senate election in Minnesota. I’ve been saying since November that Minnesota’s election outcome was pretty predictable — Franken was down on November 4 all the way through [...]

I’m kind of glad to see this year go. While fun was had, disappointments and external events put a particular funk on this year as I look back on it.
The biggest story of the year happened on my birthday when America chose to embrace our new status as an Obama Nation. We deserve what we [...]

Blago’s not going anywhere soon and asserted himself today in a surprising manner. He’s still the Illinois Governor and using his gubernatorial power has done what no one thought he had the gall to do under his current political circumstances – he picked a person to replace The One’s vacant Senate seat by appointing political insider and former [...]

Victor Davis Hanson has a great article reprinted on RCP which deals with a retrospective on the year that was. Since Obama’s “change” mantra was embedded in our brains in such a “Sieg Heil” kind of way this past year, I thought Hanson’s take on what “change” means about a month-and-a-half after Election Day was enlightening:
Imagine [...]

Today’s Ann Coulter column naming Sarah Palin as Conservative of the Year on behalf of Human Events had me laughing out loud when I first read it. Of course Ann Coulter columns always make me laugh out loud, but trust me, this one is a real doozy. The entire column is worth a [...]

I grew up in Rhode Island. Like New Jersey has New York envy, RI has Massachusetts envy — we just want to matter, so we’ll latch on to certain aspects our more exciting neighbor to bask in some of their glow.
That being said, RI is in love with the Kennedy’s. John and Jackie were married in Newport, [...]

How about mixing some math and politics on this snowy Friday evening?
Problem: If an election goes into overtime because it’s too close, what two possible outcomes are likely to emerge?
1. If [the Republican] is behind, the people have spoken and [he/she] concedes after the initial recount has taken place.
2. If [the Democrat] is behind, something [...]

From time to time Obama will try to mess with the political scene to grow his base. He knows that part of this will entail treading on conservative grounds once in a while — remember that The One is going to probably ask for some crazy “executive powers” in order to meet the “economic crisis” so it’s good for him [...]
