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.

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 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 [...]

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.”

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]
