Last fall, our nation’s leaders faced a choice. They could embrace a flawed, ill-conceived and, essentially, desperate plan to try to rescue our financial system and the economy – or they could stand on principle against an interventionist government and the risk of seriously undermining our capitalistic system. Some Republicans panicked – notably, every member of Senate Republican “leadership” – and as a result, we | Read More »
“I can tolerate … your boring books that some Republicans read to prove they are ‘introspective’ and thoughtful about the movement. What makes me want to scream … is your self-indulgent, holier-than-thou proclamations about how wrong most of us ‘conservatives’ are.” Please stop telling us what is wrong with… well, US. Seriously, I just cannot take it any more. It’s like Yankees who come South | Read More »
Rush Limbaugh asked a genuine question this weekend at the CPAC Conference in Washington in response to the supposed controversy surrounding his comment a few weeks back that he “wants Obama to fail.” He asked this time (see here and here): “So what is so strange about saying I want Barack Obama to fail if his mission is to reconstruct and reform this nation so | Read More »

It’s hardly believable, to | Read More »
In response to my first post, there were too many issues raised to deal with all of them, but several merit a response. First, and most importantly – the phrase “let’s do something” raised in one comment is precisely the disease that too often engulfs Congress and the rest of Washington. It is almost never necessary to “do something.” It is almost always VERY BAD | Read More »
In the coming weeks and months, Democrats will unleash a volley of attacks on the Constitution of the United States and our nation’s founding principles. This, of course, we expect… and it starts next week. The question, however, is whether Republicans – particularly Mitch McConnell and Senate Republican leadership – have the will to stand up and defend the Constitution without bowing to Democrat bluster | Read More »
