The current President seems to enjoy speaking in front of audiences a lot these days. He speaks so frequently that bloggers and media began wondering how he could memorize so many speeches so perfectly. How could any person, including the President, so perfectly articulate his words? The answer is: he [...]
Tim DeChristopher, a radical environmentalist, placed bids on over 13 parcels of federal land, putting himself in hock to the government for $1.8 million he doesn’t have. DeChristopher knew that bidding at the Bureau of Land Management auction w/o being able to pay was illegal, but said he didn’t mind after [...]
That’s interesting. Barack Obama is already being called in to be interviewed by Federal Investigators about his involvement in the recent Rod Blagojevich scandal.
This could turn into an interesting legal debate, as Barack Obama is not allowed to declare “executive privilege” yet. Do you guys think Obama knew what Blagojevich was up to? Comment [...]
Madison warned in Federalist 10 against the undue influence of faction, how it undermines the public interest and clogs up democracy. If any more evidence was needed to demonstrate Madison’s prescience, the current debate over bailing out floundering US automakers is it. (more…)
[...]Well there goes the neighborhood. I hate to say I told you so, but…I told you so. The era of togetherness, unity, and kumbaya-singing appears to have ended. Unless of course you’re a far-left Democrat, in which case you’re expecting four years of continuous Christmas, or I guess Xmas. [...]
“If you desire peace, prepare for war.”

Great and glorious post-election greetings to you, dear reader - it is wonderful to be back doing what I do best: Writing my opinion of the day! Today, I will be writing about what we College Republicans should do, [...]
Barack Obama’s election certainly marks a transition in American politics. It is, if nothing else, a significant victory for the New Left, that post-1960’s coalition of radicals, neo-socialists, unionists, and peaceniks. They have, at least for the time being, convinced America that they really aren’t that nutty, that they can [...]
In the aftermath of Barack Obama’s election victory, some conservatives, especially those who defected during the campaign, are calling on all conservatives to join The One’s government as part of a loyal opposition. As Andrew C. McCarthy put it at NRO, we should offer a hand when he reaches out to us and [...]
The One is beginning to float names for his Followers in Chief. If this list turns out to be accurate, God help us.
Rahm Emanuel as Chief of Staff: What, was Luca Brazzi busy? The Sopranos on vacation? This guy was Clinton’s partisan hit-man and has played the same role for [...]
Winston Churchill:
“This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” (more…)
[...]It tolls for thee. The question now is: Do we stand in opposition and try to deny Obama any achievements or successes, or do we make do with what remains and work with him? I’m favoring the former at the moment. I shudder to think that that means working for a failed presidency in [...]
To the Douglas Kmiecs, Peggy Noonans, and Christopher Buckleys of the world, and other Conservatives large and small who have embraced Obama or refused to embrace McCain, I would like to say thank you. I would like to say thank you for this liberal moment in America. (more…)
[...]A man in NYC is being charged with brutality attacking someone holding a McCain sign. NYC’s district attorney had this to say,
“Defendant grabbed the sign [informant] was holding, broke the wood stick that was attached to it, and then struck informant in informant’s face thereby causing informant to sustain redness, swelling, and bruising to [...]
Today, America embraced socialism. Sort of, and only temporarily, or so they say. Taking a page directly from Mussolini’s playbook, George Bush and Henry Paulson forced nine of the country’s largest private banks to accept a partial nationalization last night and will move to nationalize many smaller banks later in the [...]
Rep. Jeb Hensarling has proposed a new free-market based plan. This story, reported by my CNSNews.com colleague Josiah Ryan this morning, is welcome news to those of us who feel that socialist command economics are are not the answer. The plan would, in short, allow floundering financial institutions to [...]
I’ve been writing about this issue extensively, and will continue to do so, at my new job at CNSNews.com. But in the meantime, check this out, it does an excellent job of suming it all up.
[...]For anyone who hasn’t heard, there was a rally for Barack Obama at the University of Mary Washington on Saturday. I wasn’t close enough to hear the speech so I can’t comment on how the rally went, but Mr. Obama certainly got to see the UMW CRs on his way [...]
John McCain seems to be winning the ad wars lately. His latest ad focused on the economy, as have previous ones.
What do people think? Are ads like these effective? It seems like people either say McCain’s ads are too tough or too vague, but frankly, I think that he nailed this [...]
That’s right. Barack Obama has to use teleprompters at town hall meetings. The news was announced at CNN, of all places. Once he was giving a speech and the teleprompter failed, so he stoped. When that happened to Sarah Palin, she kept going, and owned the crowd. Hillary Clinton was right, speeches [...]
Let’s just admit it, Sarah Palin doesn’t have much experience in government, at any level. Trying to argue that her scant experience is more substantive than Barack Obama’s is a non-starter and a loser of an argument for the GOP. Why? Because with a brilliant speech last night, Sarah Palin changed [...]
Now that The One has announced that he will announce his VP choice this weekend, I felt it was time to offer my two cents on who McCain’s choice should be. Mitt Romney should get the nod. I know, I bashed Romney pretty hard during the primaries, calling him a [...]
Barack Obama’s infamous habit of merely voting ‘present’ while an Illinois State Senator is well known, yet what may be more infamous are the issues Obama deemed worthy of actually voting on. One such issue, the Induced Birth Infant Liability Act, a bill that gave full legal protection to children who survive [...]
Rush Limbaugh, the #1 nationally syndicated radio talk show host, has recently signed a $400 million dollar contract that will keep him on the air until 2016. He is currently celebrating his 20th anniversary of being on the air!
Also, congrats on being more popular than Chris Matthews. 
Only [...]
Two recent articles in the WaPo, one today by Brent Bozell and one Sunday by Greg Anrig of the Century Foundation give two equally wrong answers to the same question: why does John McCain’s presidential campaign seem to be spinning its wheels while the Obama campaign seems to be floating on [...]
You may have heard about the AG/LG/RPV Challenge where each unit is encouraged to double their membership for financial incentives. Well, that challenge is being extended to the CRs and YRs. Chapter Chairman should have gotten an e-mail from Richard Crouse of RPV today, but just in case you didn’t, [...]
The Summer of Brotherly Love continues. The One has come to The Fatherland. The seas are receding. Walls are crumbling. How do we know? The One has told us. Sadly, He has decided not to bring His powers of healing and hope to those who need it most, American troops recovering, [...]
The WaPohas an interesting (for them) editorial up today criticizing Obama’s stubborn adherence to a 16 month withdrawal timetable as “eccentric”. Whether eccentric is the closest the WaPo’s editorial board can come to calling Obama’s idea what it is, dangerous and stupid, I don’t know. What I do know [...]
While holding court before a small crowd of admirers, who also happened to be reporters, Barack Obama had this to say “The objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people like President Karzai or Prime Minister Maliki or President Sarkozy or others who I expect to be [...]
I am sure most of you out there remember the comments Phil Gramm made a few days ago. His comment on a “mental recession” made headline news and immediately afterwards, condemnation from McCain and Obama were expressed. But were his comments completely off base?
First of all, I think we need [...]
For Barack Obama, a funny thing happened on the way to the White House; John McCain caught up in the polls. The question is why. With his campaign seeming to lose traction yet again and without a clear line of attack or coherent message, even the most die-hard of Republican strategists [...]
For the first time in history, Congress has the approval of less than 10% of the American people. Proving once again why nobody should vote for them, the Democrats have managed to steer Congress into historically horrible territory. Maybe this has something to do with promising the American people things [...]
The recent Supreme Court ruling that struck down D.C.’s handgun ban has revealed that, in addition to economics, liberals are genetically incapable of understanding Constitutional issues. I say genetically incapable because, now matter how many ways the argument is phrased, no matter how simply and carefully the logic is presented, [...]
“Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.”
- Mahatma Gandhi -
Today in a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court upheld a lower court’s ruling that the Washington D.C. handgun ban was unconstitutional. Hot [...]
If you’ve been paying attention to the latest developments in the transportation fiasco, you might be interested and pleased to learn that a performance audit of VDOT passed out of the House Transportation Committee and out of the House Appropriations Committee. We need to keep the pressure on and demand [...]
That’s right, ladies and gentlemen!
In an attempt to aid his message on pork-barrel spending, John McCain has added a game to his website. The game, called “Pork Invaders” is a spoof of the popular “Space Invaders” game. In between each levels, different facts about Obama’s and McCain’s record on earmarks [...]
On the last Saturday in May the Republican Party of Virginia held a
nominating convention to decide the Republican nominee for Senate, the
Chairman of the RPV, and few other positions.
The weekend, however, might have been misconstrued by an outsider as
simply a Star Trek convention with an elephant [...]
Now that Obama’s ascendance is officially official (read Mrs. Clinton is willing to admit it) our attention should be turned to a troubling trend among some self-styled conservatives, namely their paradoxical support for the O-boy himself. The narrative generally goes something like this: typical Reagan conservative, fed up after 8 years [...]
