The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Never Forget: Joe McCarthy Was Right!

Senator Joseph McCarthy, a courageous and patriotic American. “Senator Cruz’s substantive point was absolutely correct: in the mid-1990s, the Harvard Law School faculty included numerous self-described proponents of ‘critical legal studies’ — a school of thought explicitly derived from Marxism – and they far outnumbered Republicans.” — Catherine Frazier, spokeswoman for Sen. Ted Cruz Democrats […]

All My XXX’s Live in Texas

The Lone Star State has become the Porn Star State: When a friend told Hollie Toups that topless photos of her had been posted on an Internet pornography site, she felt horrified, but she didn’t feel alone: She recognized more than a dozen other South Texas women on the website, she said. Last Friday, Ms. […]

Dear Texas: Please Secede Now

That’s my spontaneous reaction to the declaration of corrupt New York Democrat Charles Rangel about the gun control issue: New York is different and more progressive than a lot of areas in other states, and some of the Southern areas have cultures that we have to overcome. President Obama has issued 23 executive orders, which […]

Hurrah for Texas! Ted Cruz Wins!

Erik Eckholm of the New York Times reports: Ted Cruz, an insurgent backed by the Tea Party, easily defeated the candidate favored by Gov. Rick Perry on Tuesday in a runoff election for the Republican Senate nomination that revealed a wide rift in Texas between the party establishment and restless anti-incumbent activists on the right.

How to Become Irrelevant

The key to becoming irrelevant is to develop an irrational obsession — an idée fixe — and ride that hobby horse without regard for changes in circumstances or public interest. Become tedious by ranting against obscure scapegoats and obsolete controversies that have no signficance except to you and whatever tiny clique of like-minded kooks share your fanatical fixation. […]

Ted Cruz! Ted Cruz! Ted Cruz!

by Smitty We’ll just mooch Erick Erickson’s quick summary of the Texas situation: David Dewhurst and Ted Cruz are in a runoff in Texas. Cruz has long odds in the runoff, given the margin of Dewhurst’s victory. But it is very doable. Conservatives across the country, however, must unite today. This race must be a […]
