There must be something in the water in Europe these days. Euros are starting to run their economies on capitalist market principles, and German chancellor Angela Merkel said recently that attempts to build a multicultural society have “utterly failed”. Meanwhile the United States continues to spend wildly and to do much of its business in both English and Spanish by adapting more and more | Read More »
There’s an old saying that’s been around for almost two years: That Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi are the best thing that ever happened to the conservative movement. And surveying the political landscape for the November election, it looks like anger at Obama’s policies is finally going to drive even many of the ancient Democrat Dinosaurs off a political cliff where they will die | Read More »
There has been an idea floating in political circles for decades now that Democrats have the hispanic vote largely locked up; that Republicans should be quaking in fear because hispanics are growing rapidly in numbers and reject conservatism; and that illegal immigration is the driving force behind the hispanic vote. Much of this is only vaguely true. On the other hand, many latinos have | Read More »
(Below is a verbatim reprint of a nikitas3.com editorial written shortly after president Obama’s victory in November 2008. It predicted a big comeback for conservatism. Note #7 below and think about the Tea Parties.) After the loss of the White House in the November 4 election, conservatives must begin rebuilding and planning for 2010 and beyond, by taking the following steps: 1) We | Read More »
On a recent episode of the feminist gabfest TV show The View, Bill O’Reilly was the guest. And O’Reilly had the audacity to say that the 9/11 hijackers were Muslims. Commandantes Joy Behar and Whoopi Golberg were so incensed that O’Reilly actually spoke the truth about the religion of the hijackers that they stormed off the set. And to her credit, supreme commissar Barbara | Read More »
There were bumper stickers that originated in the 1960s that commanded us to ‘Question Authority’ when ‘authority’ was considered to be big business, the military, God, white men, Western culture and the like. Today it is conservatives who are demanding that we “question authority”. The ‘authority’ of Big Government, that is. Or Big Media. Or Big Universities. Or Big Environmentalism. Just consider the | Read More »
Just when we conservatives finally thought that we had put the 2010 election in the bag, along comes former Bush administration figure Mark McKinnon to announce that moderate Polo Shirt Republicans (PSRs) are organizing a Throw Away Victory campaign for 2012. The Polo Shirters apparently were spending so much time on the golf course over the last few years, or polishing their Lexuses, that | Read More »
Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said last Spring that we would find out what is in the health-care bill after it is passed into law. This quote certainly will go down in history as one of the most bone-headed of all time. After all, the health-care bill was only 2,000 pages. Couldn’t somebody in Pelosi’s office have read it since it is | Read More »
New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg is easily one of the most arrogant and off-putting politicians in America. With a media fortune estimated at $10 billion, he was able to get re-elected to a third term in November 2009 only by spending huge amounts of his own money and then only squeaking out a tiny victory over a little-known opponent. Even New Yorkers barely tolerate | Read More »
A recent poll said that president Obama’s support among working-class white people – also known as whites without a college degree – has slipped precipitously. Whatever the specific numbers may be, this is no surprise. Because working white people live on a different planet from Harvard intellectuals like Obama and other left-wing agitators like Al Sharpton, enviro-kooks like Al Gore, media snobs like Chris | Read More »
It’s always informative to watch one of these simple-minded media types try to address a serious issue the way that HBO political provocateur Bill Maher recently addressed Christianity by trashing it. Maher said that the Bible is “wacky” and then added, “I think that if Jesus were running the country, we’d probably have health care for everybody” he told Bill O’Reilly on Fox News’ | Read More »
It is always interesting to compare poll numbers over time for various presidents because then you get a clearer profile of each president as he served rather than the blanket approval/disapproval from the Ancient Media. To compare Obama and Bush, however, you always need to keep one fact in mind – their polls reflect years of pure media hatred of Bush and pure media | Read More »
There is a new magazine on newsstands – certainly a one-off – called America’s First Ladies. Michelle Obama is on the cover. Most likely this was the brainchild of some media lefty Obama Lover to put Michelle on the cover of yet another magazine and maybe make a few bucks on a glossy about America’s presidential wives. But this publication raises the question – | Read More »
Imagine your liberal husband drives up to the house in a brand new 70-foot-long 18-wheel tractor-trailer rig and announces, “Honey, I bought a new car!” The first thing you would think is: This is not a car. This is going to be very expensive to operate. But your husband says, “Look, it works well. Brand new. It will be fine. Ten-year warranty.” And that | Read More »
White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel is leaving his post in order to return to Chicago to run for mayor there. Emanuel is the latest administration official to depart. Other economic policy bigwigs who have left recently are Lawrence Summers (who returned to Harvard), Christina Romer (who returned to Berkeley) and Peter Orszag. What is wrong with this picture? First, it is | Read More »
In 1979, I officially became a conservative. I always had felt previously like I was a conservative. I was certainly not part of the leftist establishment – I hated the 1960s and mocked the ‘hippies’. And in May of 1979 I heard a speech by Republican congressman Phil Crane of Illinois outlining the basics of conservatism. As he was speaking I said to myself, “This is | Read More »
With president Obama’s popularity fading, two important governor races in the East are reflecting Democrats’ troubled standing with the American electorate. In Massachusetts, Republican candidate Charlie Baker is CEO of the big Harvard-Pilgrim health plan. He is credited with turning around the company and making it one of the best in the nation. Baker also served in past Republican gubernatorial administrations in the 1990s. | Read More »
A skateboarder in Amarillo, Texas recently grabbed a Koran that a Christian pastor was preparing to burn. “Dude, you have no Koran,” said Jacob Isom as he ran off with the holy book. “I snuck up behind him and took the Koran,” Isom said. The video of Isom went viral and suddenly there was a small industry of T-shirts and baseball caps about the | Read More »
Just imagine if Republicans in 1968 said that they were going to run ads against the civil rights movement, that they were going to win the election by portraying blacks as evil, racist hatemongers. Woah… Now that would have been something to see. Yet recently rumors were flying that the Democrat party is planning an anti-Tea Party ad campaign, rumors which are being | Read More »
Stephen Colbert, the so-called comedian, appeared before Congress last Friday to testify about his experiences as a migrant laborer. He worked in a New York state farm field for one whole day. Colbert was invited by California Democrat congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, chairman of the House judiciary subcommittee on immigration, citizenship and border security, in order to shed light on the conditions faced by immigrants | Read More »
