An idea to get Conservatism back on track

The Republican party in the US just suffered quite a defeat. But they do have a position as majority in the house from which they can launch something. I was reading via Instapundit today (or maybe yesterday) that in spite of recent events, in spite of Chicago being dominated by Democrats, in spite of the failures of Stimulus projects, in spite…

Palin may just be the smartest person in the room

Liberals: repeat after me, “Palin may be stupid, but I should check my facts carefully before I say so“. Yet again, Palin has said something that has been taken as proof of her stupidity, but on close examination has actually proven that she’s better informed than her critics. I’m beginning to think she’s actually doing this…

Crazy People, Tea Party and Media Bias

An interesting article on the Tea Party I love it when enlightened pundits observe that there are “crazy people” at these events. No kidding. Ever been to a Democratic or Republican convention? Plenty of attendees would not pass a CT scan. Ever been to a PTA meeting? There are crazy people in America, on your…

Quote of the Day

From Instapundit. IN LIGHT OF ALL THE DEMANDS THAT CERTAIN PEOPLE WATCH THEIR LANGUAGE, I’m reminded of how many people got their knickers in a twist over Ari Fleischer’s “watch what you say” remarks after 9/11. Fleischer’s remarks were pretty innocuous in context, but you would have thought he was Big Brother with a truncheon from…

Stupid Quote of the Day

From the Herald. The irony of a right-wing conservative, who boasts of hunting moose and shooting wolves while campaigning for more oil drilling in Alaska, transforming herself into a nature fan for prime time, has not been lost on environmentalists. Um, where’s the irony? She enjoys the outdoors, and wants a few acres of a…

Obama Loses House

Well, as we all know, Obama has lot the US House of Representatives. Now, this is both expected, and bad. The House and the Senate operate quite differently. The house is elected every 2 years – all of it. The Senate is elected 1/3 ever 2 years, and thanks to the fact that few Democrats…

Just curious

Can anyone point to an example of a Republican who’s gotten this sort of hush-hush treatment? Now, first, this is not the man made famous with the movie Charlie Wilson’s War, but a Congressman running for reelection in Ohio.  And so far it does not look good.  A few days ago, Big Government produced a…

Reading is such fun!

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has made a funny campaign ad, mocking opponents who criticse the Arizona illegal imigration identification law without having read it.

“Understanding the Sarah Palin effect”

Wintery Knight points out this great column on Sarah Palin. Among the many delightful characteristics of Sarah Palin is her seemingly unfailing capacity to capture Barack Obama’s angry attention. This week, she criticized his new nuclear policy. Obama responded by saying “I really have no response to that,” which was, I think we’ll all agree,…

Change!

Saw this report today. A 70-year-old Nashville man was accused of ramming his sport utility vehicle several times into the back of a vehicle that had a Obama/Biden bumper sticker. Harry K Weisiger, a retiree, made obscene gestures and pointed at the campaign sticker for United States President Barack Obama and running mate Joe Biden…
