At Right Network: The Insurgency

by Smitty Michael J. Lotus offers the first half of an interesting overview of conservative activism, Tea Party and otherwise. One could pick apart some details, but the main thrust is spot-on and well composed. The sequel, with prognostications, should be a worthy read indeed.

The Great RINO Rip-Off: Murkowski Uses GOP Money to Hire Democrat Staffers

Many who have criticized the stance of Dan Riehl, Marc Levin and myself against Mike Castle in Delaware have accused us of being “purists” or striking what they call a “True Conservative” posture. We are, our critics imply, attempting to position ourselves as Commissars of Conservative Correctness and boss other people around. Messrs. Riehl and Levin can […]

She Already Fled Communism Twice, and Now Clara Csiong Sees It Coming Again

When we were at the 9/12 rally, Da Tech Guy came up to the backstage area and said, “Stacy, you’ve got to come meet this woman I just interviewed. She’s amazing.” Smitty and I were busy trying to upload photos and video, so I couldn’t get there, but the video of Da Tech Guy’s interview […]

VIDEO: A Short Tea Party Overview

by Smitty “The Tea Party: Brewing up a movement” features none other than the Instapundit, especially on the origins of the Tea Party, and other good speakers, like Dr. Bruce Wheeler, an historian. It’s very slightly Tennessee specific, and focuses on the Tea Party’s irritation, and desire for an outlet: My (mostly useless) prognostication is […]

Reply to Rick Moran

Dan Riehl breaks his vow never to pimp-slap Rick again. Me? I’m just kind of at a lost for words at Rick’s description of “an identifiable tea party establishment . . . a self identified elite who are more interested in maintaining their position at the top of the tea party ziggurat than in stopping the […]

New Definition of ‘Hate’: Conclusively Proving How Stupid Democrats Are

My friend Andrew Marcus at Founding Bloggers produced this video, which I found via my friend Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit. To call Glenn Beck a “coward”? Easy. To claim that Tea Party activists are motivated by “hate”? Easy. But to call Andrew Breitbart a “faggot” while doing these things is to invite yourself to one […]

Senator Jim DeMint Steps Up To The Plate

by Smitty (via Cubachi) Nothing says get stuffed, Senator Cornyn quite like a respectable ad buy in favor of a true conservative candidate: With talk of Jim DeMint, John Bolton, and a thousand other conservative stars for Presidential bids in 2012, the Left may wet itself into a state of collective dehydration. CHRISTINE O’DONNELL for […]

Could Mattie Fein Become California’s Christine O’Donnell?

I don’t know if Mattie Fein ever dabbled in witchcraft, but she is certainly tired of being dissed by the same Republican establishment types who are running down the Delaware GOP Senate candidate: Karl Rove’s now-infamous disparagement of Christine O’Donnell has provoked one Republican congressional candidate to go public with her criticisms of GOP leadership. Mattie Fein, […]
