Nothing makes me more angry than reading a conservative blog and seeing some variation of the line, “I like so and so, but we can’t really support them because they’ve been savaged by the media out of the presidential race, imagine if they got in, they’ll never win.” I am of the opinion that liberals are generally pretty wussy people, however when it comes to | Read More »
This morning, I decided to post Sarah Palin’s excellent speech detailing her views on foreign policy on my Facebook page. Along with the video I typed, “I don’t know that Palin can win the presidency, but this is an excellent foreign policy speech.” I posted it, stopped, and decided to delete it and repost it with this headline, “A very sound foreign policy statement. {Taking | Read More »
At one time, I did find Tina Fey’s impersonation of Sarah Palin funny, in the way that I found Will Farrell’s impersonation of George W. Bush funny. We all know where Fey’s and Farrell’s political allegiances lie, but they mastered the art of taking one’s quirks and making them come alive on the screen. Then in the 2008 election cycle something shifted in the performance, | Read More »
Forgive me for being a bit obtuse when it comes to Donald Trump, but I just really don’t see the appeal for the guy. When he starts going on about birtherism, a conspiracy theory that has been disproven time and time again, and then leads the GOP pack according to several polls, frankly, it makes me sick. If intense hatred of Barack Obama, the man, | Read More »
If Sarah Palin is going to run for President in 2012, should she even run for re-election in 2010? Alaska is a remote state and running for re-election in 2010 then turning around a few months after her second inauguration as Governor and running for President might upset Alaskans. She also can’t say, “I’m running for re-election, but it’s really going to be Sean Parnell [Alaska’s Lt. | Read More »
David Cameron is one of the sharpest politicians in the world, he has managed to broaden the Conservative Party in the UK without abandoning Thatcherism. He has embraced being “green” without embracing leftist socialist environmental policies. The UK Conservative Party is considered the “greener” party of the two major parties. They’re also percieved to have a better grasp of the issues facing every day Non-Londoner | Read More »
From The Wall Street Journal: Tax Cuts and Fiscal Discipline By Sarah Palin Especially evident in these trying economic times is America’s need for affordable, abundant and secure energy. This means American energy resources developed through American ingenuity and produced by American workers. I applaud President Obama’s focus on alternative and renewable energy, and here in Alaska we’ve joined the effort: I have asked Alaskans | Read More »
In my opinion there are three people that can unite all three types of conservatives together: defense conservatives, social conservatives, and fiscal conservatives. The one guy who could of done it in 2008 and did it for a while was Fred Thompson. For some reason the talk-radio guys were convinced, despite all evidence to the contrary, that Mitt Romney was a conservative. Then you had | Read More »
Since when did we become the party of ideological purity and personal destruction? I am discouraged when I see good conservatives tag Republicans with the “RINO” label, in fact, it makes me fear that we will fall into the same trap the Democrats did throughout the first half of this decade. In 2006, Joe Lieberman was effectively tossed out of the Democrats. This proud liberal | Read More »
Is Sarah Palin a national policy lightweight? Yes. Does she have the right instincts to develop a strong national policy and campaign? Absolutely. I don’t know if it’s going to be in 2012, 2016 or beyond, but I am more than certain that the Republican Party will be the party to put a woman in the White House for the first time and I’m pretty | Read More »
