now that David Frum is leaving National Review. Who will be our new target?

I’ll take this opportunity to bump my own RedHot off the front page. But in staying with the same spirit of that earlier article – this one again addresses the issue of the supposed need of the GOP to move to the middle. But why? IS there a middle? James Gimpel seems to think not. He doesn’t mince any words: The research suggests that those | Read More »

This is why I continue to love to read Jonah Goldberg. There has been much discussion in the media and here on Redstate as to the future direction of the GOP. My observation is that most of our commenters and diarists would prefer the GOP to move right of where we’ve been with John McCain…with a few notable exceptions. Mr. Goldberg presents a very concise | Read More »

It appears Deroy Murdock got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. You don’t hear this kind of thing too much from the ranks of the Right (well, maybe once or twice here on RS): Nevertheless, Bush is the GOP’s Jimmy Carter, a weak bumbler who embarrassed his constituents, betrayed his philosophical movement, sank his party, and eventually surrendered the White House | Read More »

On The Day After, David Frum wrote an election post-mortem that told the GOP that we must move left. His words: College-educated Americans have come to believe that their money is safe with Democrats – but that their values are under threat from Republicans. And there are more and more of these college-educated Americans all the time. So the question for the GOP is: Will | Read More »

I’m getting ready to go to church, where I will be standing in front of the congregation to pray for our Prez-to-be. I offer this article from Ligon Duncan on how Christians are to pray for Mr. Obama. From 1 Timothy 2:1-2 – I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— for kings and all those in | Read More »

In the aftermath of the election, many Obama supporters have lost their reason to live. They’ve now become … the undead. Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are Hide your children. Lock your doors.

In 1980, I was a college freshman at the University of Missouri. I was 18 and I was a mush-brained idealist who had never voted before. My ultra-liberal grandfather, an English professor, had convinced me that John Anderson was the best hope for the USA. My grandfather was a man I deeply respected, so I took his Anderson button, wore it, and promoted him as | Read More »

In their usual thorough manner, Pew Research, which was recognized today as the most accurate pollster for yesterday’s festivities, has done a nice job of breaking down the exit polling numbers for the POTUS race. The seven-point swing from 2004 in party ID stands out rather starkly.

What makes a good diary? I’m hardly John Steinbeck when it comes to writing here on Redstate, but I do a bit of it in my job. A RS diary doesn’t really bear much resemblance to geeky I/T books and papers, but the thought process is somewhat similar. In addition, there are some “dos and don’ts” for RS blogs diaries in particular. Let’s visit some | Read More »

It’s about time The One got something right. The posting on Hot Air expresses my feelings about it quite well. Here’s the video backup: Maybe when Barry gets beat, he can score a job with the NCAA.

Man, if I had known this before, I would have been out campaigning for Obama all this time! Why, I won’t have to pay my utilities or my mortgage if The One is elected! All my worries are over! I can sit on my butt, eat Reese’s Pieces, and post profanity to DKos all day. What a LIFE! You guys are so messed up. Who | Read More »

A friend of mine is a contemporary Christian singer. She recently was approached to sing/record a rewrite of Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA”. I found this version to be pretty funny, and definitely on-target, given the socialist leanings of our (potentially) forthcoming Dear Leader. Give it a listen here: http://www.kierstenvenezia.com/files/GodBlesstheUSSA.mp3 And if you ever have a chance to see/hear Kiersten, take advantage. She’s a | Read More »

This article from Public Discourse is eye-opening. It covers a study from the “Guttmacher Institute” that looks at abortions by race. The most incredible statistic exposed is that one half of all black pregnancies end in abortion. This is an abomination. Furthermore, (not unexpectedly), Planned Parenthood is a co-conspirator in this situation. The article points to how 90% of the PP sites are in or | Read More »

Anyone with half a brain knew all along that The Obamunist never intended to cut taxes on “95% of Americans.” It’s mathematically impossible, and flies in the face of his well-documented Socialist tendencies. So I was not surprised to spot this article in American Thinker that documents Obama’s four lies about taxes – the four places where he will screw the middle-class taxpayer. Rollback of | Read More »

I may be late to the party on this one, but it is so eerily accurate that it would be worth posting multiple times.

Tonight, Drudge links to a story on the NY Post web site about the prospects that the Reid/Pelosi/Macho Bambi triumvirate will re-institute the so-called “Fairness Doctrine.” I personally believe that will be one of the first acts of the Democrat Regime. But is this all bad? The Post article mentions “a new Fairness Doctrine would drive political talk radio off the dial.” That could happen. | Read More »

This is so loaded with opportunities for double entendre and crude jokes, but I’ll refrain. I’m nowhere near as talented as others here in such creative writing! So it appears that Obama has a gay porn kingpin on his finance committee. Terrence Bean, the sole trustee of a “foundation” that controls at least two gay porn movie studios that specialize in “bareback” videos (we won’t | Read More »

Senator McCain’s efforts to point out how The One is in bed with shady characters like William Ayers seems to have finally gotten under Barry’s skin. Now he’s resorting to grade-school talk this morning. His latest whine is that McCain “… wasn’t willing to say it to my face…” regarding Ayers. What a BABY. And people want this guy to be PRESIDENT? What’s he going | Read More »

This morning, Drudge links up to Camille Paglia’s latest column. Contained within is one of the most hilarious – and accurate – sequence of sentences to be penned this election season: The mountain of rubbish poured out about Palin over the past month would rival Everest. What a disgrace for our jabbering army of liberal journalists and commentators, too many of whom behaved like snippy | Read More »
