Rip Van Moonbeam Awakens And It’s Still 1980
I confess: on some level, I like Jerry Brown. He’s one of those guys – like Pat Moynihan, Paul Tsongas or Bill Bradley – who really, truly and honestly believes in the goals of liberalism, yet is periodically honest enough to be blunt about its failures in the real world. He even studied to be [...]
Greg Sargent’s Imaginary Conflict
The Washington Post’s in-house left-wing activist, Greg Sargent, thinks he can convince you that he has a “gotcha” moment with Rick Perry’s recent book “Fed Up!: Our Fight to Save America from Washington”: Rick Perry’s campaign is now distancing him from another controversial claim in his book: That we should repeal the 16th Amendment and [...]
Roger Williams (R CAND, TX CD-33) Pins the Tail on the Donkey
Roger Williams, former Secretary of State under Rick Perry in Texas, is running for Congress to teach the young donkeys about the values of this country. The newly-created 33rd district will cover the staunchly conservative suburbs of Fort Worth. The Republican nominee will be a shoo-in for the general election, and it appears that we [...]

Is It Pro-Choice, If It’s An Offer You Can’t Refuse?
“I asked the doctor if it was a boy or girl,” Wei said. “The doctor said it was a boy. My friends who were beside me said the baby’s body was completely black. I felt desolate, so I didn’t look up to see the baby. The nurses dealt with the body like it was rubbish,” [...]
What You Should Be Doing on September 17th: American Majority’s Training Bomb
On September 17th, Constitution Day, American Majority will be conducting the first ever Training Bomb. In 14 cities across the country (with more coming online in the next week), from New York City, to Dallas, to Fayetteville, NC (in conjunction with Heritage Action for America), to Hartland, VT (with RedState’s Aaron Gardner) to Nashville, TN, we [...]
Barack Obama and the *second* YouTube election.
First off, let’s peruse this video very quickly: via Hot Air, it shows Senator Barack Obama claiming that it was ‘unpatriotic’ for President George Bush to oversee an increase in the debt of four trillion dollars over eight years… …because apparently it’s much more patriotic to increase the debt by four trillion in two years, [...]
Dan Riehl and The Rest of the Story
By the way, it is worth going here now. I thought it had all blown over and was going to let it go. One of the things Ben Smith wrote was: A leading conservative blogger and commentator, Erick Erickson, said he shifted his stance in a key Senate race because the company that publishes his [...]
CBO’s Latest Budget and Economic Outlook is Unrealistic
The latest CBO budget and economic outlook is using baseline assumptions that are as realistic as flying unicorns. Although they project a decade of mediocre growth and moderate deficits, even such a dismal projection is a pretentious view of reality. On the budget side, CBO’s baseline outlook portends a $1.284 trillion deficit this year, and [...]
