You’ve Got To Admire Gay Patriot, If Not Agree On Everything

by Smitty This stuffy, old-fashioned, hidebound, social conservative blog would like to offer a round of applause for Gay Patriot: There seems to be a pattern among gay activists and their supporters in the legacy media, to define as “hatred” any opposition to their views on homosexuality. Now, I do not share Kirk Cameron’s view […]

Tip O’ The Fedora: The Franklin Center

by Smitty Stacy writes to say that The Franklin Center was so gracious as to buy a BlogAd on this humble site. The esteemed Franklin Center does massive amounts of state-level conservative outreach.

Trying To Help Bill Quick Appreciate The Matchless Brilliance Of Joe Biden

by Smitty Bill Quick fails to grasp the full audacity of the audaciousness of VPJB calling the “bin Laden raid the most ‘audacious plan’ in 500 years.” The plan itself was straightforward, boring military gumshoe work, training, and attention to detail. If you were physically fit, motivated, and worked as hard as the Spec Ops […]
