Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’ve been a fan of Madison Rising, a patriotic rock band, for a long time. I don’t necessarily like all their music, because they’re pretty heavy on classic rock guitar playing, but I really like their attitude. The band takes its solid rock chops and applies it to patriotism. Unlike

Continue readingI wanted to share with you an email I got from the rock group Madison Rising: Dear Patriot, My name is Dave Bray. I’m the singer for the rock band Madison Rising. I have a great job because every day I get to travel around our country, meet great Americans
Continue readingWhen we were touring Loch Lomond, our guide played this song for us. The more I listened to this non-traditional version of Loch Lomond, the more I liked it — better than the very classic, vaguely operatic version that my father bequeathed me. It’s rather thrilling how the energy keeps
Continue readingI’m quite the traditionalist when it comes to renditions of the Star Spangled Banner, but I really, really like the passion behind Madison Rising’s version. They’re looking to reach 5,000,000 hits this July 4th, so please watch it and, if you like it, spread the love: By the way, you
Continue readingMy forte is spotting problems, not finding solutions. Thankfully, when I put out a call for suggestions, many of you responded. This post sets out practical list ways to get conservative messaging past the media gatekeepers that so effectively insulted Romney, praised Obama, and squelched or promoted news stories depending
Continue readingWith a birthday that falls very close to July 4, I’ve always been quite proprietorial about this holiday. One small part of my brain, while watching fireworks, always thinks “For me? Why thank you!” Fortunately, that’s only a smart part of my brain at work. The bigger part of my
Continue readingI’m a fuddy duddy when it comes to the Star Spangled Banner. I hate howling ululations and piercing shrieks. It turns out, though, that if you give me a rockin’ good anthem, sung by guys who believe in every word, I will get those familiar chills down my spine that
Continue readingI’ve blogged here before about Madison Rising, an almost-heavy metal rock group that several vets formed. Despite its hard guitar licks, pulsing beat, and gravel voiced singing, the band’s orientation is definitely conservative. It’s songs are pro-military, pro-American, pro-capitalism and anti-OWS. It’s not necessarily my kind of music (I’m a
Continue readingA couple of weeks ago, I brought to your attention a rock group called Madison Rising. It has the distinction of playing classic guitar rock, with conservative, pro-American lyrics. (Sadly, my 14 year old daughter still prefers LMFAO, but there’s only so much one can do as a mother.) A
Continue readingIt’s a great video if it satisfies you at a visual, auditory and intellectual level. Madison Rising has achieved that with “Honk If Want Peace,” a song that vividly illustrates the vast disconnect between Leftist “peace” activists and their violent, destructive, nihilistic activities: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW-x2YMVJCc[/youtube] The lyrics are clear (which I
