Outrage continues to grow over the Obama Administration’s propaganda about so-called right-wing extremists. The National Commander of the American Legion, David K. Rehbein, sent a letter to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, stating, in part, “The best that I can say about your recent report is that it is incomplete. The report states, without any statistical evidence, “The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and | Read More »

In a blatant propaganda effort designed to characterize conservatives as racist, anti-American, dangerous extremists, the Obama Administration is attacking many law abiding citizens – from veterans and pro-lifers to anyone who dares question the wisdom of Washington. For the many Americans increasingly skeptical of an out-of-control federal government that is more interested in international popularity than preservation of liberty – the Department of Homeland Security’s | Read More »

This morning I received an email from the RNC asking for my input about the “state of the Republican Party” and, then of course, for a contribution. I gave my input, but they will not be getting any of my money. They simply would waste it, trotting after the latest theory of some pet consultant or Washington egomaniac telling them they need to “be for | Read More »

This is almost too crazy for me to believe is actually happening in America. The disastrous “service” bill I described earlier today is being rushed through the Senate to get it over to the House as fast as possible. Cloture will be filed in the Senate tonight (I am told) which means there need not be a final cloture vote until Friday, and then there | Read More »

With all the focus and attention on the TARP, the so-called “stimulus” bill, the nationalization of huge chunks of our economy and the various issues economic – lost in the weeds have been a host of destructive “programs” being developed and passed by the Obama-Democrat machine. Right now on the floor of the United States Senate is one of the most disturbing pieces of legislation | Read More »

Few books come along that I actually believe everyone should read. There simply are not that many good books in the world today, much less ones that most people could possibly get something out of. But, our friend Mark Levin has written such a book – and I recommend that we conservatives should either give, or promote, the book to literally everyone we know. Liberty | Read More »

A number of folks have reported about the recent decision by the University of Notre Dame not only to invite President Obama to give the 2009 commencement address, but also to bestow upon him an honorary degree. In particular, David Freddoso over at NRO has been particularly good in covering both this topic and the President’s dubious background on issues of life. Well known are | Read More »

For too long, conservatives have allowed their regular opposition to most policy proposals, and now their vehement opposition to President Obama, to be painted as angry and pessimistic – when, in truth, our fundamental ideology is rooted in confidence, optimism and happiness with our American way of life. This, I believe, is the conservative conundrum. This became particularly clear to me this week as I | Read More »

So, in today’s Washington Post, Michael Gerson helpfully points out that President Obama “[a]gainst all my expectations” has eschewed the hope and change and “post-partisanship” of his campaign in favor of a liberal agenda and divisive old style politics. Well, pass the smelling salts, because who ever saw that coming?! I guess not Mr. Gerson. Just what, pray tell, did he actually expect? Seriously, I | Read More »

Is anyone else getting sick of the constant talk about the size of the Republican tent? Who gives a darn about the size of the tent if you have no idea where the tent is or what it looks like? Right now, I know Republicans who are pro-gun and anti-gun, for intervention in Iraq and against intervention in Iraq, pro-life and pro-choice, pro earmark and | Read More »
