The Burning Bush

It was running from what Reagan did that got us where we and the Republican Party are today. Thomas Jefferson said “Always take hold of things by the smooth handle.” The tried and true. Jefferson was certainly no foe of change. He helped marshal in the greatest political change of humankind. Yet he understood that proven methods deserve repeat.

What Conservatives Hath Wrought

Everywhere conservatives are screaming-they are now labeled “right-wing extremists” by Janet Napolitano and the Department of Homeland Security. They are proud of the label since they are opposed to the entire Obama administration, but they are scared at the same time-the “right wing extremist” document(s) probably prompted a large portion of the conservative base to [...]

The Definition of a Conservative

The very essence of modern conservatism is a losing spirit. By definition, a conservative is someone who wants to “preserve” something. If you are a conservative, you are part of a group of people that could be viewed as some kind of historian fan club, reminisicing about the good old days. Socially and culturally I [...]

Zo for RNC Chair

Michele Bachmann: 5 Questions

Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota has become an outspoken – and occasionally controversial – Conservative voice in the House of Representatives since her first term began in 2007.  A frequent guest on a variety of news and commentary programs on radio and television, Rep. Bachmann was kind enough to answer “Five Questions For Michele Bachmann.”

The Republican Party’s non-future

With losers like these running for the RNC charimanship we know that they will not win any elections anytime soon and that their party is losing it’s membership and is not going to regain a majority status in the near future.

Critical Theory and the Frankfurt School

I’m assigning some assigned reading on a way of thinking that was put forward by the Frankfurt School called Critical Theory. The Wikipedia articles give some insight into the main goals of the neo-Marxist ideas, but what people need to understand is how these have contributed to reshaping the culture of the West since the [...]

The Revolution: A Manifesto

In the United States, we have lost our political imagination. All problems have to be solved in a certain way (usually involving government bandaids) and we haven’t been able to construct better ways to do things, such as private charities and leaving social issues for locals to decide themselves. This is the basic premise behind [...]

Katon Dawson

Katon Dawson is a winner and he acts like it. He also acts like he wants to keep on winning and has the ideas to make that happen.

Colin Powell: Another Tainted Hero

General Colin Powell, former Secretary of State, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, former National Security Advisor and former man of logic and rationality, etc. has become something of a condescending blowhard.

The Austrians Were Right

Statement of Congressman Ron Paul
United States House of Representatives
 
 The Austrians Were Right 
 
 November 20, 2008 
 
 Madame Speaker, many Americans are hoping the new administration will solve the economic problems we face.  That’s not likely to happen, because the economic advisors to the new President have no more understanding of how to get us out of this mess [...]

Another preemptive strike, this time from the “good guys”

A high-ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (NY-08), has introduced a resolution that preempts President Bush from pardoning any members of his administration who were involved in certain acts.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (NY-08), Chair of the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties, introduced [...]

Triage

You two need to talk

World Leaders Meet, Pretend They Have a Clue

From Bob Higgs at the Independent Institute:
As we consider the world’s rulers, one question overshadows all the others: are they fools or charlatans? Having thought about this question for nearly half a century, I lean toward the view that they are both. If the masses were to arrive at this answer, of course, the entire apparatus [...]

Sanford Chairman of Republican Governors Assoc.

The Republican Governors Association announced its new leadership team today as the group prepares to grow the Republican Party through its Governors.

Howard Dean can truly stand up and say, “Mission Accomplished”

I was sad to learn that Howard Dean will not seek a second term as chairman of the Democratic National Committee. This was a great victory for Howard Dean whose ideas and implementation of those ideas that set the stage for the 2008 Presidential campaign. President-elect Barack Obama simply took it to a higher level, [...]

Republicans will love Barack Obama

Since Obama is now the president-elect, my attacks are going to be directed at him. I could always make apologies and also try to criticize Republicans, but it just isn’t worth my time right now. The fact is this country is officially “center left” and it embraces socialism at every turn. Rush Limbaugh and especially [...]

Sanford: Conservatives Didn’t Lose

Have the first shots of the Conservative Revolt been fired?

Michael Steele: RNC Chair
