Much ado has been made recently about the demise of the Republican Party and the growing sense in the New York/Washington bubble that Obama will be re-elected.  It’s certainly possible the ?improving? jobs’ numbers and economic data could give Obama enough momentum to slide into a second term.  Certainly his media advantage, his wars on conservatives, women, and the productive sector have ginned-up his base, | Read More »

We are lectured ad nauseum about how conservatives are anti-science, moralizing crusaders who are unable to use pragmatism to solve social problems.  Then, when a socio-economic problem is addressed applying solid, accepted scientific principles, progressives lose their heads.  Jon Tevlin, an accomplice of the progressive/socialist wing of the Minnesota Democratic Party, is a shining example of this soft-headed, anti-scientific approach.  He posits human beings are | Read More »

This whole kerfuffle over Obama’s dictates about abortion, contraception, and reproductive rights has the left arguing their usual nonsense about keeping church and state separate.  Rooted in their argument is a basic ignorance of the Constitution and its purpose.  Professor Obama is first among these ignoramuses.  The reason the First Amendment of the Constitution is worded in such a way is to prevent “the Church” | Read More »

The virulent Left and Democratic Party have their talking points all in a row.  They have decided to take a bunch of quotes from Rick Santorum and create a false narrative about Republicans and contraception.  We’ve been figuring out their game these past few days starting from the ABC News debate moderated by George Snuffalupagus.  The Democratic operative, pretending to be a journalist, had an | Read More »

The lying has taken on a new level.  There is a sick smear of CPAC going on within the left wing media apparatus.  A prog.soc shadow group called “Right Wing Watch” has initiated a desperate campaign against the entire conservative movement.  They are alleging a so-called leader of a “white supremicist” movement was part of a conference at the meeting. http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/rick-santorum-just-had-dinner-white-nationalist-bob-vandervoort They are arguing the | Read More »

Attending my first GOP caucus as a participant was an exciting experience.  I had some butterflies going in because I wouldn’t know anyone there and it was something new.  The experience was quite different from what I had expected.  I’d like to flesh out my overall impressions a little more fully.  For those who are old hands at caucuses, this may seem to be a | Read More »

This past weekend, there were several articles addressing the marriage amendment up for a vote this coming fall.  Instead of dealing with it rationally, the Star Tribune printed two articles that merely defame conservatives without addressing the actual issue. The Democratic Party is creating a narrative that suggests if you are for the amendment, which merely memorializes the law as it stands, you are engaging | Read More »

You know it’s gotten bad when the Democratic spokesmodels at the reliably liberal Star Tribune are chiding President Obama.  In a commentary entitled, ‘Recess appointment flap — a sign of the rule-bending times,’ Strib editor D.J. Tice has some cautionary words for his friends on the left.  Using a comparison that is more akin to that of the Tea Party, Tice warns that if we let | Read More »

Fox Lake Power Plant has been listed as an electrical generating plant to be closed down by the EPA ostensibly due to it being ‘dirty’ and not complying with new rules generated by the EPA administrator uber-radical Lisa Jackson.  In my last post I questioned why this small rural Minnesota power plant being placed on the list because it doesn’t even burn coal and hasn’t | Read More »

The Obama administration’s EPA has declared a war on coal-fired power plants.  The president famously remarked he didn’t care if coal power plants operated, but he would make sure they were cost-prohibitive.  His EPA rolled out rules that would make coal-burning power plants a target in his war on mercury and other pollutants.  His radical EPA chief said, “This has been 20 years in the | Read More »
