When Joe Scarborough and I talk each week on the radio, we frequently mention that former Congressman Pat Toomey is the model candidate for the Republican Party. Though Pat Toomey is pro-life, his campaign focuses on jobs, business, regulation, and the free market. Back at the RedState Gathering in August (the next one will be announced very shortly), Pat Toomey gave me a copy of | Read More »
Geez. I read this chapter last week and totally dropped the ball on writing about it, in part because it is so meaty. We probably should have divided this chapter in half there’s so much. Chapter 7 gives me one of my good laughs. I remember a speech Jonah gave in Atlanta last year in which he talked about Barack Obama standing before Planned Parenthood | Read More »
Chapter 3 of LIberal Fascism is the one I read over and over. I think it is a model of how Obama is going to operate and we should be mindful of it. The raw acquisition of power requires multiple outside and inside groups to help maintain that power. In Wilson’s case, it was rather eye opening.

His genius lay in the realization that people wanted to rally | Read More »
Chapter 2 for Jonah Goldberg tomorrow. If you want a review of what we’ve done so far, please go here.

So while I did the reading, this past weekend was nuts and it has only escalated. That’s why this is a group project. I adopt this post as my own regarding this week’s | Read More »
If you don’t know why this is here, read this. And remember: Start reading Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg for next week. Read the introduction and chapter 1 for next Monday. A Message to Garcia I remember the first time I read this. A friend of mine in my old law firm insisted that everybody in the firm read it. The lawyers bought copies for | Read More »
Aaron Gardner, a while back, emailed me to suggest RedState start some serious discussion on conservative ideas and thoughts. Being just a diarist and me being busy, I had the convenience of ignoring him. Now that he is a front pager and has access to my super secret email address, I can’t ignore him anymore and decided I’d be pre-emptive. In all seriousness, I have | Read More »
