Let’s Not Go Lefty Over Technology

by Smitty Twitter is cool. You should follow me. Also, you should follow Ladd Ehlinger, a cat most cool, who shared a tidbit about Twitter: Multiple conservative Twitter accounts are complaining that they are spontaneously “unfollowing” other conservative Twitter accounts. I’ve had it happen to me, where my account has “unfollowed” people without my consent […]

#AttackWatch! Hey, @AttackWatch: This ‘Downfall’ Video Looks Like #tcot Hate

Both inevitable and obligatory: The laughable failure of AttackWatch.com is a result of the internal logic of the Left: When you believe your politics is an expression of your own moral and intellectual superiority, it logically follows that your opposition is both evil and stupid. While the assumption of right-wing evil is perhaps still unrefuted, we have […]

‘Subversion, Inc.’: Book-Partying in D.C. With Author Matthew Vadum Tonight

The notorious “Beltway cocktail party circuit” is a political cliché, suggestive of effete insiders conspiring over martinis in some sort of Machiavellian power-status cabal. There is some truth to that cliché. Washington, D.C., is very much a town where who you know is more important than what you know, and the most important thing is […]

Among those in attendance at the meeting in […]

Virginia Tea Party, Herman Cain Video

by Smitty As is the case with a legitimate grass-roots movement, you miss a lot of fantastic material. For example, this Herman Cain video about the Tea Parties: This was shown to the crowd here to great applause. Go, Herman!

Say Hello to Liberty.com!

A right-wing MoveOn.org? On Wednesday, September 1, 2010, a key organizer in the 2009 Tax Day Tea Party and “Don’t Go” movement pioneer Eric Odom will join a national coalition of conservative movement activists in launching Liberty.com, a right-of-center news and national activism website with the intention of eclipsing the left’s Moveon.org. “For years, Moveon.org […]

The Future of Conservatism

I’m at the Young America’s Foundation National Conservative Student Conference, where YAF vice president Patrick X. Coyle explains everything: Will have further updates, but you can follow the conference on Twitter at #NCSC10, and there is also a live Webcast.
