Conservative Politics, Religion, Culture, and Anything Else
From the category archives:
The House of Representatives passed a $108 Billion bailout of foreign nations, payable to the International Monetary Fund. As Michelle Malkin reports, Obama pledged this money to the IMF in April, without even consulting congress. The vote passed 226-202, with 32 Democrats voting against the bill and 5 Republicans supporting it. With our financial house [...]

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) went against the Republican leadership today by endorsing Conservative Marco Rubio over the liberal Republican Gov. Charlie Crist for Florida’s 2010 Senate election. Crist, who has been endorsed by Sen. John Cornyn and the NRSC, Mitch McConnell, and John McCain, is the establishment favorite. Rubio, the former Florida Speaker of [...]

Gallup has issued the results of a massive poll indicating that Americans still identify themselves as a center-right country, with 40% of respondents identifying themselves as “conservative,” plus another 35% as “moderate.” That’s roughly 75% of the country either in the political Center or the Right (read: not liberal).
Of course, you’ll always have a good chunk of [...]

Last week Newsweek’s Evan Thomas went on “Hardball” and told the thrilled Chris Matthews that unlike Reagan who spoke for America, Obama transcends nation and people as a god-like figure:
Well, if you take religion and religious ethics out of our institutions, out of mainstream “hip” society, and attempt to force religion into accepting secular values by viewing religious [...]

The Obama administration is exploring a plan to “rescue” stagnating cities in the industrial rust belt of the nation’s Midwest and east coast. The plan is to explore the option of bulldozing large portions of these cities and “returning them back to nature.” The theory is that these cities are stagnating, and that the only [...]

All government agencies have a position of Inspector General, which is supposed to be a non-political appointment that has the job of auditing and ensuring proper use of the People’s money, and to enforce ethics and the rule of law within the government agencies. As noted by statute, an Inspector General can only be fired [...]

Having an a**-crack-of-dawn teacher schedule I am usually in bed obnoxiously early and rarely catch the 10 o’clock news let alone the late night talk shows. So the attacks by David Letterman on Willow Palin went completely under my radar and was muffled at the water cooler this week due to the Yankees-Red Sox/Phillies-Mets series’ taking place. So, I [...]

Rhode Island (my native state) held a Tea Party protest yesterday to specifically protest increased taxes and the lack of substantial spending cuts in this year’s fiscal budget. The protest drew over 1,000 people, with about 500 or so admitted into the capital building to protest in front of legislators offices. The protest received a [...]

In the continued quest by the Obama Administration to cater to terrorists, dictators, and thugs, a new policy has been implemented by the Justice Department via the FBI which requires that any high-value terrorists captured in Afghanistan be Mirandized. For any lawyer, cop, or fan of Law & Order, the Miranda warning is read to [...]

Nope, I’m not surprised. New York Slimes lackey Paul Krugman blamed Ronald Reagan for the deregulation that led to the current economic crisis last week. Obviously, that’s ridiculous and others have chimed in to refute that claim.
I hear that same kind of argument every three seconds from Kool-Aid drinking Democrats out here in Jersey — all [...]

The Supreme Court issued a stay on the Chrysler bankruptcy ruling yesterday afternoon, shortly before a court of appeals imposed deadline would have made the deal final. The Chrysler bankruptcy, engineered by the Obama administration, would have engineered a sale of Chrysler to Italian automaker Fiat, and paid off the unions at the expense of [...]

President Obama has repeatedly said that he does not want to be in the automobile business. Yet a feature-length expose in the Detroit Free Press, a rare and daring indictment of the administration by a member of the main-stream media (now dubbed the state-run media by Rush Limbaugh) shows how Obama’s auto-czar Steven Rattner (one [...]

So far, Obama has been all about appointing and keeping “czars” beyond the traditional Drug Czar or Security Czar, to all sorts of new czars: bank bailout czar, energy czar, car czar, US border czar, urban czar, regulatory czar, stimulus accountability czar, Iran czar, Afghanistan czar, Pakistan czar, Middle East czar, cyber security czar, Great Lakes [...]

OK, it’s a USA Today/Gallup poll of about 1000 “adults”, which under normal circumstances is about as accurate as a show of hands at a hoppin’ dance club around 1 am, but nonetheless Dick Cheney ended up with a higher favorability rating than San Fran Nancy Pelosi, 37-34% respectively!
For goodness sake, Darth Cheney is more [...]

I’ve followed a simple rule in NJ politics since arriving here in 2001: in the primaries, you vote your conscience; in the general election, you vote against Corzine.
Thusly, I voted in last Tuesday’s Republican primary for Steve Lonegan. I met him last summer and know where he stands on the issues, so I was convinced [...]

Sara Carter from the Washington Times has unearthed this story about an al Qaeda recruiter speaking plainly about a plan to sneak anthrax or some other biological agent into America through tunnels between the US and Mexico and dispersing it in populated areas, including even on the White House lawn. Then, even before entering America, al Qaeda [...]

Ronald Reagan’s statue took its place in the Capitol Rotunda today, with a cheerful and tearful Nancy on hand. A Reagan statue — it just feels good to see in the People’s House!
It was also very nice to see Nancy again. At 87, she still looks pretty good and still symbolizes the connection many had with her [...]

Keith Olbermann is already trying to blame this weekend’s murder of George Tiller on the case pro-lifers make against legalized abortion in an effort to avoid discussing what abortion actually is. In this case, talk show hosts at the low-ratings nutwork are blaming Bill O’Reilly’s coverage of Tiller’s abortion practices for Tiller’s murder. Well, kudos [...]

Our Leader has spoken (fast-forward to 2:26 for this money-quote, then his naivety on display thereafter):
“Iran has legitimate energy concerns, legitimate aspirations…”
Has anyone informed the Beneficent One that we tried this same appeasement approach to a belligerent nation seeking nuclear “energy” in the past? That would have been North Korea! But at least when NK was bamboozling [...]

Controversial late-term abortionist George Tiller was shot and killed by a lunatic earlier today at a church in Kansas. Today’s shooting is tragic because it ended a human life and will undermine the pro-life cause.
In coming weeks, the mainstream media’s long-standing pro-choice bias will resurface. The media will attempt to lump all pro-lifers together with [...]

Last Thursday, “Coach” Craig T. Nelson was on The Glenn Beck Show talking about taxes and the broken state of California. There’s been a lot of buzz about this clip, some saying it affected them deeply, others being ridiculing Nelson for appearing ”drunk” during the interview. Regardless, I do think it’s worth sharing at a minimum because I [...]

After an admittedly few off-weeks from my favorite comedian, Steven Crowder returned to form with his latest video. The target in this clip: Nancy Pelosi.
Happy Ryan?

There are efforts underway to ostensibly toss out the Electoral College through a “stealth” method described by Peter Hannaford at the American Spectator. The National Popular Vote initiative is promoting a pretty ridiculous idea — no matter how your state voted, the state’s Electors would vote for whoever won the national popular vote total, effectively [...]

I’ve liked Dick Cheney since the summer of 2000. He was going to be a steady hand at Veep, had no ambition to be the top dog, so he decided to shoot from the hip and be the Administration’s authoritative voice on security issues. He beat the heck out of Joe Lieberman in the 2000 [...]
