Ana Marie Cox Thinks Breitbart and His ‘Minions’ Are Bad Bad People
By: Matt Vespa (Diary) | February 28th at 01:35 PM |
Ana Marie Cox of the Guardian isn’t on our team. That’s fine. However, to label us the “jackass” wing of journalism only demonstrates the left’s inability to hold their own side accountable. She seems to feel that all of the criticism she outlines in her piece about conservative media are absent on the left. This Friday will mark the one year anniversary of Andrew Breitbart’s passing, and it seems | Read More »
Evisceration Memo Prompts Republicans To Demand Investigation Of Blueprint NC
By: Matt Vespa (Diary) | February 26th at 01:16 PM |
Yesterday, North Carolina Republicans called for an investigation of the progressive 501 (c) (3) group Blueprint NC, whichdrafted a memo calling for the evisceration of the party’s leadership. It was leaked to the press last Thursday, and Blueprint has since disavowed the memo. They’ve also claimed to be a “nonpartisan” group, but their list of partners – and Blueprint’s origins – are very much grounded in the left-wing of American politics. Mark Binker | Read More »
Blueprint NC Disavows Memo Calling For The Evisceration of State Republicans
By: Matt Vespa (Diary) | February 25th at 03:56 AM |
Last Thursday, a memo from Blueprint NC was leaked to the press, which stated they intended to ‘eviscerate, mitigate, litigate, cogitate, and agitate’ the North Carolina Republican leadership. Blueprint is an ACORN-afiliated group, and its list of partners represents the core of the American far left. Since their dirty little secret was revealed, the organization has disavowed the memo. Mark Binker of WRAL.com wrote yesterday that: “The email from | Read More »
Gov. Baby-Killer?
By: Matt Vespa (Diary) | February 22nd at 05:57 PM |
Over the weekend, Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-New York) announced that he plans to relax his state’s abortion law, and allow women to obtain late-term abortions if their health is at stake. It provides more latitude against the current statute, which says the only legal justification for a late-term abortion – as defined by the Supreme Court – is when the pregnancy threatens the mother’s health. Not surprisingly, pro-life | Read More »
That Ted Cruz Is So Canadian
By: Matt Vespa (Diary) | February 18th at 11:52 AM |
As Bryan Preston and Stephen Kruiser noted last week, the liberal media has mounted a campaign to destroy Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). He’s a high priority target because he goes against everything the media has said about the Tea Party, and conservatism in general. For all the talk about the Tea Party’s anti-intellectualism, Cruz received his B.A. at Princeton University, and his Juris Doctor at Harvard University. He also | Read More »
Kentucky Democrats Worry About Judd Crashing The Party
By: Matt Vespa (Diary) | February 14th at 11:23 PM |
According to Joshua Miller’s February 13 piece on Roll Call, an Ashley Judd senate candidacy would give Kentucky Democrats “heartburn.” …for many Bluegrass State Democrats, a potential Judd run brings a different feeling: heartburn. “If she runs, I think that it would be a catastrophe for a lot of downballot races in Kentucky,” said Jimmy Cauley, a longtime Kentucky Democratic strategist who doesn’t believe Judd can win | Read More »

By: Matt Vespa (Diary) | February 13th at 12:03 AM |
It’s another tragic story of a young woman’s life being lost to a botched abortion. In this case, it was twenty-nine year oldJennifer Morbelli, who was a patient of Dr. Leroy Carhart.

Harry Reid and The Crumbling Democratic Caucus
By: Matt Vespa (Diary) | February 3rd at 01:38 PM |
Iowa is about to have an open Senate seat for the first time in twenty-nine years. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) decided to bolt from the U.S. Senate, as did Jay Rockefeller (D-WV). However, why are safe Democrats retiring from the U.S. Senate? Rockefeller and Harkin, for example, could’ve been there for life. Is it because Sen. Harry Reid is making things so miserable that stalwarts | Read More »
ATF’s Epic Fail In Milwaukee
By: Matt Vespa (Diary) | January 31st at 12:14 PM |
As Harry Reid bolts from Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s renewed push to ban so-called assault weapons, other senators, including Pat Leahy and Al Franken, may politick their way into killing the bill in committee. As Ed Morrissey of Hot Air posted yesterday, No one thought Reid would be excited to support a new assault-weapons ban. He didn’t support the last one, and he’s been non-committal over the last several | Read More »
Here We Go Again: A Discussion with NumbersUSA’s Rosemary Jenks
By: Matt Vespa (Diary) | January 30th at 10:11 AM |
With the “Gang of Eight” announcing their immigration reform package yesterday, I’m sure many American found the deal sensible, rational, and fair. It’s a bipartisan deal, which pleases the independent segments of the electorate, and has Sen. Marco Rubio endorsing it wholeheartedly. Immigration keeps the United States economically vibrant, unlike Europe, which has become older, grayer, and more Islamized. We should welcome immigrants, but not | Read More »
