CPAC Is Already Happening

by Smitty I made it up to the Marriott Wardman Park to get the conference package for CPAC12. The blogger lounge was the same room as two years ago, but they have cut down on the actual seating. This will make it harder to sit down and blog, but might make the bandwidth more reasonable [...]

President Who Attacked The SCOTUS For Citizens United OK’s SuperPAC

by Smitty Noted 2010 thought criminal Justice Samuel Alito must feel some satisfaction at the news that #OccupyWhiteHouse has blessed the efforts of Priorities USA. Let’s have the entire dextrosphere relax here. BHO is no hypocrite. Only conservatives, especially of the white male persuasion, can be hypocrites. More at Da Tech Guy. via The Moderate [...]

Due To Unpopular Demand, The World’s Youngest Blogger May Not Attend CPAC

by Smitty Bill Quick links to Red State discussion of the plans for #OccupyCPAC. Let’s face facts: CPAC is a high-risk evolution. I’m talking about traveling to and from a major hotel in the capital city of the country, in daylight hours, using a mix of public and private transportation. That is really living on [...]

A Federalist Progressive Disaster: Scant Improvement Over A Progressive Disaster

by Smitty Gateway Pundit has a short clip of the Florida AG on Greta:The claim is made that Pam Bondi stated Romney is desirous of RomneyCare isn’t in the clip. A direct quotation would be helpful, with context. I can envision Mitt saying that, if states choose to implement a RomneyCare-style plan, that’s their prerogative. [...]

Vice President Rex KramerBiden Wasn’t Sure On The Bin Laden Raid

by Smitty Mediaite on our wunderkind second in command: Vice President Joe Biden spoke to a conference of House Democrats in Maryland today, and in discussing the SEAL Team raid that successfully took out Osama bin Laden, he admitted that he advised President Obama not to carry out the mission because “we have to do [...]

Madness Beneath the Palms

NAPLES, Fla. After driving all night from Orlando, I arrived about 5 a.m. here at a gated community where Dan Collins’s father has a condo. “Guest of Doctor Collins,” I told the guard at the gate. “Your name, sir?” “McCain.” The gate swung open and I cruised along the beautifull landscaped drive, up to the [...]

Clearly They Move Into Higher-Order Pornography, i.e. Politics

by Smitty Forbes collects quotations from people in the pornography ‘industry’, and what a sad chuckle it is. Now, as a social conservative, I favor expressions of the human condition that drive individuals toward mature, happy, fruitful end states. Sexuality is a beautiful and powerful aspect of the human condition. Step away from the hormones [...]

More Of This

by Smitty Via Insty, Intellectual Conservative (aren’t all the anti-intellectuals on the Left?), gave #OccupyResoluteDesk a solid, American welcome:I hope that spring and summer provide some rousing rally opportunities.

Mitch Daniels Did Not Impress Me

by Smitty While I liked Mitch Daniel’s SOTU response, I fall off the wagon here, via Ron Radosh, emphasis mine: The truth, as Daniels went on, is that Republicans “alone have passed bills to reduce borrowing, reform entitlements, and encourage new job creation, only to be shot down time and time again by the President [...]

Is The Propaganda Business Flattening?

by Smitty via Althouse Angry over the Obama administration’s siding against SOPA and PIPA, [Former Senator Chris] Dodd says openly that the money the Democratic party regularly counts on Hollywood for might not be there this election cycle. One view is that Hollywood considers that it bought something very specific with it’s money, and it’s [...]

Banning Traffic Cameras

by Smitty Insty’s link on Iowa banning traffic cameras leads to a subversive thought serious question: why do we have unmarked police cars? In military terms, the idea of having the authorities pose as civilians is a matter of OPDEC. Going undercover makes sense when, say, infiltrating criminal organizations. Is that an example of overkill, [...]

Is There a Real ‘Elizabeth Reichert’?

CHARLESTON, S.C. Last night when we left the Pro-Life Presidential Forum in Greenville, the windshields of most of the cars in the parking lot were festooned with pink flyers attacking Rick Santorum and his wife, Karen. This propaganda was attributed to a self-proclaimed pro-life activist who signed herself “Elizabeth Reichert, Parker, S.C.” As soon as I [...]
