Daniel Hannan Is One Of The Reasons We Don’t Lose Hope

by Smitty The Oxford Union Founded in 1823, the Union has hosted world leaders in virtually every field. These have included Presidents Nixon, Carter and Reagan, Michael Jackson, Clint Eastwood, Diego Maradona, the Dalai Lama, Benazir Bhutto and Mother Teresa.

Debating Gay Marriage With Cynthia Yockey On Da Tech Guy’s Radio Show

by Smitty I’ve been invited to debate my dear friend Cynthia Yockey of A Conservative Lesbian on Da Tech Guy’s show tomorrow afternoon, on 26 January 2013, from 2-3 PM EST, if the technical gremlins are smiling. My arguments will consist of pure, heated denunciation, in the style of that 18th century fire breather Jonathan […]

What Difference Does Sarah Palin Make?

by Smitty “It’s my understanding that Gov. Palin was offered a contract by FOX, and she decided not to renew the arrangement,” the source close to Palin told RCP. “She remains focused on broadening her message of common-sense conservatism across the country and will be expanding her voice in the national discussion.” The source declined […]

Promises that can’t be kept, won’t be.” — Professor Glenn Reynolds Everybody who knows anything about economics — that is […]

Fear and Loathing at the #NRISummit: Can We Survive the Sarcasm Deficit?

Perhaps National Review‘s famed cartoonist Roman Genn can do a savage caricature of the donnybrook brawl I’ve been trying to incite for this weekend’s National Review Institute “Future of Conservatism” Summit at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. Was it a smart career move to kick Jonah Goldberg in the knee? No, of course […]

The Roe v. Wade Inversion

by Smitty The idea of ‘reproductive rights’ is as bad an inversion as ‘Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’. What, exactly, is ‘reproductive’ about murder? This is probably the most un-intentionally diabolical 1:40 worth of video ever cut: The body language here is that the sexual means is its own end. All that matters is […]

This Blog Votes We Accept @DarleenClick’s Apology
