I just had a terrific interview with Governor Sarah Palin this afternoon. Her new book, Going Rogue, came out today. I’d like to say we talked a lot about her book, but I did not get it until 10:00 a.m. and had family stuff to take care of. I [...]
Via Instapundit comes word that the federal government’s Office of Personnel Management (OPM) intends to purge the federal government of Republican civil servants all in the name of purify the federal bureaucracy.
You can read the OPM memo here.
It [...]
I have been wanting to see Up for a long time. I had hoped to take Evelyn to see it in the theater, but she was three when it came out and being a PG movie, we thought it might be a bit too intense.
I saw it last night.
Wow. It [...]
We forget this anniversary at our peril.
As conservatives face off against their own natural party, the GOP, in NY-23, Florida, and elsewhere, we should remember Ronald Reagan’s famous speech.
“Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and [...]Well, I guess I am having some sort of impact. If I wanted validation, I guess I have it from the Scozzafava campaign. Humorously, the interview is with the Los Angeles Times.
See here:
“Her positions on a lot of issues are reflective* of the electorate here,” said Matt Burns, a [...]I took Evelyn to see the Toy Story double feature today in 3-D.
(1) 3D movies are fuzzy without the glasses on.
(2) 3D movies are dark with the glasses on.
(3) 4 year olds do not like wearing glasses.
(4) There is therefore no point in spending the money to take your 4 [...]
As you may know, RedState has started a Great Books style program. We are rather slowly making our way through a series of books on conservative thought and ideas. We have started with Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism.
“Contrary to his relentless assertions in Mein Kampf, Hitler had no great foundational ideas [...]
By the time you read this, a lot of ink and air time will have been spent on this Politico article suggesting that the Republicans tremble when conservatives like Rush, Hannity, Beck, or even me says something.
It is disappointing to see people like Eric Cantor go on the record [...]
Congratulations RedState readers.
We have supported a small business, made a statement, and attracted the attention of the Wall Street Journal.
Since last Wednesday morning, Ron’s Home & Hardware has received roughly 240 orders for five-pound bags of rock salt. While buyers were scattered around the country, each requested the same [...]No doubt it was a leftist who did it, but somebody just tried to register me, with my personal email address, at that Stormfront Neo-Nazi website.
Nice try. Luckily those people have you confirm your email address, which came to me.
Try, try again morons.
BTW, no doubt if they had done this [...]
The Politico has an article out today on tea party activists getting involved in their local political parties. I’ve been preaching on this for a while.
The reporter, Alex Isenstadt, interviewed me for his article and gave me the last word. I’m partial to my quote:
For some, supporting insurgent campaigns [...]Aaron Gardner, a while back, emailed me to suggest RedState start some serious discussion on conservative ideas and thoughts. Being just a diarist and me being busy, I had the convenience of ignoring him.
Now that he is a front pager and has access to my super secret email address, I [...]
Steven F. Hayward, writing in the Washington Post today, postulates that the conservative movement is currently brain dead.
It is a fashionable statement among those living in Washington, D.C. housed at think tanks. And I guess it is when think tannkers are pushing out columns on the lack of ideas [...]
The lefties are rather mad at me this morning.
The other day some of the police officers here in Macon, GA where I’m on city council suggested they were going to form a union. I, in turn, suggested I was going to push to shut down the police department and contract [...]
