How do we get out of this?
The U.S. is already bankrupt

Californians: Vote a straight Republican ticket
My friend Sally Zelikovsky says it in the clearest words possible: Unless conservatives in California vote for the Republicans, we will have a Sacramento government made up entirely of San Francisco Democrats. If that horrible outcome sounds painfully obvious to you, you don’t know California. There are two dynamics in

It’s a done deal, awaiting Obama’s signature. I am truly too disheartened to write anything tonight. Please use this open thread to share your thoughts, provide insight and inspiration, give practical advice, etc. I’ve already received several emails from conservative groups (the GOP, Republican politicians, etc.) urging fund raising. (Just

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

This will refresh you: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeSLVnAQSYo[/youtube] Here’s a little helpful information about the faces behind the Governor, and the Left’s unhinged response to those Americans. The text is below the fold.

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

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: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcFVRQi3ZEo&feature=player_embedded[/youtube] 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
Continue readingOpen thread centered around a very important question
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
Continue readingSome Republican lawmakers are standing up for the SEALS
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
Continue readingThe new Republican playbook
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.

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

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

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

The National Republican Senatorial Committee puts out this timely public service announcement: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI3QM_p73oI[/youtube] 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

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
