One might recall a recent contentious special election which took place in NY-26 in which an otherwise favored to lose candidate Jack Davis, pretended to be a tea party candidate and disrupted the otherwise bellwether election. In fact, the trickery in this election went so far as to create entire fake websites dedicated to spreading misinformation to the voters in the hopes of confusing them and getting them | Read More »
Having completed Andrew Breitbart‘s book Righteous Indignation, I took a few moments to talk to him about it and how it came about. The conversation found it’s way to subjects ranging from Eric Boehlert’s unhealthy obsession with things that are Big, to a little reported rift that has developed between Andrew Breitbart and Glenn Beck. Suffice to say, the conversation was very interesting. Prior to | Read More »
One of the reasons that I was against the bailouts, both bank and auto, was the effect I feared it would have on the way business is conducted. It’s easy to point to a TARP loan being repaid (with interest) and declare victory for bailouts. But to do so assumes that all consequences of government intervention in private enterprise have been realized. One of the | Read More »
More of this please. Consider this an open thread. Make sure to let Rep. Kelly know that his efforts are appreciated.
The Obama green dreams have recently been awarded assistance by nearly forgotten former Republicans officials, desperate to find relevance. The collection of fifteen former governors, congressmen & agency officials are joining in with the President and Democrats who have long been of the opinion that the American public will only do what’s “right” if they are left with no other options. In the world of | Read More »
Renewing America is back on FTR Radio after a short lived hiatus filled with vacations and car wrecks. This week I break down the interview of Jon Stewart by Chris Wallace. Since Chris looks up to me in a lot of ways, I felt it my duty to provide some analysis and point out the opportunities he missed (and boy, were there a lot). Also on | Read More »
Those bastions of objectivity over at Rolling Stone magazine have taken a break from publishing off the record comments and covering the exploits of Lady GaGa to defend America against non-liberal news bias. Their target, of course, is Roger Ailes, President of the Fox News Channel. As Brent Bozell at NewsBusters points out, the alleged journalist used anonymous sources to make the obvious connection that | Read More »
President Obama is trotting out yet another policy aimed at forcing American’s to change our ways and embrace the green. Just a few weeks ago, the administration floated the idea of adding yet more taxes to our already overtaxed cars to serve the dual purpose of shoring up revenues as well as curbing driving habits (which one would assume can’t both be accomplished simultaneously, but | Read More »
Jane Corwin is a Republican running for Congress in NY 26. Here is her website: www.janecorwin.com. Nice, clean, professional. Now take a look at this website: www.janecorwin.org. Aesthetically indistinguishable, the designers cleverly use humor to paint Jane Corwin as a clueless hack, bent on destroying the district calling her “A proven millionaire. A real homophobe. The leader we fear.” There is little reason to assume | Read More »
As Tabitha Hale noted yesterday, there seems to be no shortage of ways that this administration and the Democrat party can think of to tax away every bit of our nation’s prosperity. But the “car tax” simply defies logic and begs the question, “What are they thinking?” Aside from their apparent love of taxation, what is the underlying reason this administration would want to levy | Read More »
These last few days have created feelings that many of us had forgotten in the 9+ years since the immediate aftermath of the September 11th attacks. I can’t speak for everyone, but in the winter of 2001 after the feelings of horror and anger subsided, a feeling of pride, unity, and commonality overwhelmed me for months. I was the least partisan I’d ever been in | Read More »
I’m sure someone will have a breakdown of the amount of self congratulation in this speech, but tonight let’s just be happy that Osama Bin Laden has already found out that there aren’t going to be any virgins.
I am no economist. In fact, as I researched for this piece and saw the diversity of opinions floating in the blogosphere and in the main stream press, it became clear to me that I am completely out of my element went it comes to national economics. However, I am a tax payer. I am a small business owner, and I am a person that | Read More »
Anyone that was in the bloggers lounge at CPAC in February you likely noticed a visitor that seemed oddly out of place. No I’m not talking about the “Rent is too High” guy. I’m talking about the voice we heard narrating Stand by Me, Richard Dreyfuss. The reason he seemed out of place is obvious: Mr. Dreyfuss is a liberal. He’s never been one to | Read More »
At some point, one assumes that politicians would remember that everything is recorded these days and that in order to not appear hypocritical, they must address what has been said when it stands starkly against what they are doing. Such is the case with President Obama and the actions in Libya. Like RedState’s own Moe Lane, I too have had a difficult time deciding where | Read More »
It seems that Mr. Paul has a message for the masses as we enter the 2012 Republican primary season: Now where have we heard that before? For anyone who has ever questioned the importance of precincts and their role within the GOP infrastructure, consider this: Do you want our party primaries to be ruled over by men and women who look up to this? I | Read More »
Remember back during the healthcare debate when the Republicans fled D.C. to hide in hotels, the Tea Party protestors manhandled women & pushed people around culminating in that grand sacking of the Capitol we did? Yes, I can still hear the sound of shattering glass and pushed over police officers. Of course you don’t. Because conservatives believe in protest as well as the rule of | Read More »
In this week’s show, I had the opportunity to interview former FBI agent, John Guandolo. John is an expert on Islamic terrorism and is the Vice President of Strategic Planning and Execution for Strategic Engagement Group, a national security consultancy & educational group. I asked him questions about the Holy Land Foundation trial, Suhail A. Khan of the ACU, who has ties to Hamas & The Muslim | Read More »
While it’s certainly the case that a University may host an event paneled by individuals that the University leadership does not agree with or even may find reprehensible, it starts to look more like endorsement when they get into the habit of tossing law abiding citizens for asking questions of the University guest that may be uncomfortable. Such was the case in the almost universally overlooked incident that | Read More »
Union protestors, including waiver award winners Communication Workers of America (CWA), arrived outside of the FreedomWorks headquarters today apparently to hit female activists and police the Jews. Meanwhile, in Wisconsin Denver, the same level headed Unions were scolding a black tea party activist for “voting against his best interests,” since they clearly know better than he does. So don’t worry America! The racist tea parties are | Read More »
