GIVE US RYAN!

This is an emergency post. Driving back from the AFP Defending the Dream Summit in D.C., I pulled off the freeway and logged on at a Burger King to get this online as quickly as possible: Mitt Romney must choose Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his vice-presidential nominee, period. There is no time now to fully […]

A Root Canal, Or A Post On Taxation. You’re Opting For The Dentist?

by Smitty There was an excellent panel yesterday on a topic that is so important, it isn’t addressed with any seriousness: taxation. Sure, candidates and parties natter on about it in a purely class-warfare sort of way. But that’s all hormonal whinging, turning emotion into power. Quite successfully, too.

‘Real’ Conservatives Of The Sunshine State, Crist Edition

by Smitty Former Florida Governor and Anderson Cooper wannabee Charlie Crist was on The Shark Tank’s radar: Crist recently gave a ‘full-throated’ endorsement of Senator Bill Nelson over Connie Mack, and Speaker Weatherford offered his take on Crist’s “evolution”- I guess it’s his coming out party, so to speak, so he is coming out and […]

He goes on about how she handled his rant with grace, […]

Is Obama Doomed?

John Hinderaker looks at the Rasmussen poll numbers and notices the general decline in President Obama’s support over the past few months. Defeating an incumbent president is always difficult. It’s only happened three times in the modern era: Carter beat Ford in 1976, Reagan beat Carter in 1980 and Clinton beat Bush in 1992. The […]

Tennessee Democrat Party Denounces Democrat Senate Candidate

Rachel Maddow spent five minutes on MSNBC tonight having a conniption over what is, for Democrats, a disheartening development: Mark Clayton believes the federal government is building a massive, four-football-field wide superhighway from Mexico City to Toronto as part of a secret plot to establish a new North American Union that will bring an end […]

Bishop E.W. Jackson At Fauquier County Tea Party Protest

by Smitty WARRENTON, VA–Thursday August 2nd there was a zoning hearing, where family farmers from a nearby town were up against the authoritarian power of the zoning board. The facts in the case seem incredible: “Fauquier County has crossed several lines by violating sensitive private property rights and individual liberty. The County is breaking the […]
