First, this is what my background and has shaped my thinking, my starting point. I am a hard line conservative. I have been ever since gaining my maturity. I am well educated, two master’s degrees, one in Strategic Intelligence. I was born on the left coast, I am a practicing [...]

Here’s a little helpful information about the faces behind the Governor, and the Left’s unhinged response to those Americans.

Thinking about it, Scott Brown’s election as the Senator for Massachusetts may be more significant than any election in my lifetime, including the Reagan Revolution and the 1994 Congressional takeover. I know this sounds silly. In 1980, the political shift involved a President, not a mere Senator; in 1994, it was an entire Congress, not [...]

It’s only because it’s just a wee bit more over the top than the real things that you can tell it’s satire:
Big hat tip to The New Editor
UPDATE: The above video represents fake Democrats (read: “Republican satirists”) in action. Nothing, of course, can compare to the real deal, who are so over-the-top that Scott Brown [...]

The holidays continue to make demands on me that take me away from my beloved computer and my blog. I’ve managed to track enough news, though, to know that Reid managed to get his vote. My question for you, and one I can’t answer myself, is this:
Will the health care bill, even if it destroys [...]

Mudville Gazette reports that some Republican lawmakers haven’t forgotten the three SEALS facing court-martial for having given a fat lip to a suspected Al Qaeda murderer during his arrest.
This is no little thing. SEALS are the creme de la creme of our military forces. If they’ve done wrong, that’s one thing. But if they haven’t, [...]

In the wake of the 2008 election, Republicans and conservatives were paralyzed. They’d been trounced, not so much by sweeper percentages (that is, the elections were all just over the slightly 50% mark), but by huge numbers of elections in which Democrats edged out Republicans by those few percentage marks. If there are 100 races, [...]

At Big Government today, Evan Coyne Maloney, another of the young conservative guns who uses modern media techniques to bring down Democratic dinosaurs, asks how it is that the media completely missed the ACORN scandal. Maloney thinks that political correctness created the blinders media figures wore. To the extent that ACORN is a black organization [...]

If you’re a conservative who’s been out in the internet for any length of time, you know Matt Burden, of Blackfive. Matt has always served his country, first as an Airborne soldier, and lately as a voice for conservative and military thought in the ever-more important blogosphere. Matt is now making the leap to the [...]

We knew this, but C. Edmund Wright sums it up as pithily as anything I’ve ever seen. In explaining why Democrats have been winning since 2006, despite the fact that America is a conservative country, Wright points out that Democrats agree with their representatives, while conservatives consistently find Republican politicians too liberal. The result?
There is [...]

The National Republican Senatorial Committee puts out this timely public service announcement:
I’ll echo Laer, at Cheat-Seeking Missiles (which gets the hat tip for this video): “Yeah, I know the GOP is hardly perfect and has a ton of lessons to learn, but I have to say, this message motivates me to open my wallet.”

Five People in a Kitchen
By Danny Lemieux
Part I: We need focus!
We were just five concerned Americans meeting in a middle class Chicagoland suburb on a cold spring day. Our point for this meeting was not to gripe. It was to see if we could identify constructive solutions to the Democrat Left’s hold on our [...]

Okay, so it took me three as many words, and about two thirds less elan, but I think I said here, exactly the same thing Mark Steyn says here about Colin Powell (including the Woodward snipe and the mourning for those poor Kurds Powell betrayed):
Is conservatism over?
Well, of course it is. Everyone from James Carville [...]

The San Francisco Chronicle ran an article today touting the demise of the GOP in California:
With their registrations sinking and their political clout withering, California Republicans have come out of the November election in danger of slipping into political irrelevance across much of the state.

Since 2004, Republican registration has dropped by more than 317,000 in [...]

Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is now accusing Republicans of speaking “code” to make racist remarks about Obama:
Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius accused Republicans on Tuesday of injecting race into the presidential campaign, arguing that they are using “code language” to convince Midwesterners that Democrat Barack Obama is different from them.”Have any of you noticed that Barack [...]

I periodically check out Yahoo’s most popular news to see what AP articles are getting the most play according to the Yahoo picks (which, except for including Ann Coulter, skew liberal). It’s fascinating to see the AP headlines, each of which is snarky, dismissive or critical of Palin in some way, even the “positive” ones:

Joe Lieberman has been persona non grata for pal-ing around with the Republicans, but the media was incredibly excited to discover that a few “leading” Republicans have moved over to the Obama side — as if nobody has ever heard of RINOs in the first place. Aside from the fact that these RINOs are leaders [...]

Thanks to ex cathedra, I’ve learned that the guy in that fun video in my post yesterday has prepared a tighter video statement of his conservative beliefs:
In commenting on the video, USMaleSF notes that he agrees with the conservative principles, but not the Republican party affiliation. I understand that attitude. Conservatism is a belief system, [...]

There’s a rather excited headline in today’s NY Times:
GOP Drops in Voting Rolls in Many States
You can just hear the huzzahs all over liberal households in America: “Republicans are vanishing. The Dems are getting stronger.” Well, maybe.
There’s something interesting, though, in the very first paragraph of that same story (emphasis mine):

You’ve all heard the question that is the title of my post, haven’t you? Is an audience necessary for a sound to have meaning or even existence? And what if, in our world, the intermediary to the audience bugs out? That’s today’s question, as Republicans vigorously debate the new drilling despite the fact that, Pelosi [...]

J. R. Dunn has a wonderful antidote to political despair. I have some optimistic predictions of my own:
I think the current gas crisis, coupled with the holes being punctured into Global Warming, and China’s status as No. 1 C02 polluter, will create a popular ground swell that will force the Demos’ hands (1) on ANWR [...]

One of the first things you learn as litigation defense counsel is that you will lose if you let the plaintiff control the case’s message. It’s easy to let this happen, because the plaintiff comes out of the gate like gangbusters, and the defendant finds himself, logically, in a defensive, purely reactive posture. [...]

I’ve decided it’s time to jettison entirely the words “Left” and “Right” when used with reference to political ideologies. I came to this conclusion after a very interesting discussion with my mother. While we were talking about the military Junta in Burma, she let drop the fact that she believes that all tyrannies [...]

My kids used to go to a wonderful little private school. It was a stretch to afford it, but I felt the benefits outweighed the burden. Then the tuition went up, and up, and up. So we left. The wonderful little private school is now precisely like all the other private [...]

When I was growing up, my best friend had the most wonderful grandparents. They were an incredibly flamboyant Polish couple who escaped the Holocaust because the woman was so charming she was able to talk the Nazis into letting them leave (with the help of some diamonds as bribes). He was pretty charming [...]
