There were two Republican presidential debates over the weekend in New Hampshire leading up to Tuesday’s crucial primary, an ABC News/Yahoo debate on Saturday evening and an NBC News/Facebook debate Sunday morning. Both featured liberal moderators asking sometimes accusatory questions of the GOP candidates. David Gregory, who hosted the NBC debate, was especially rude, often cutting off the candidates with a curt “All right…” It | Read More »

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has suspended her presidential campaign after a poor showing in the Iowa Caucuses. Meanwhile the rest of the field has headed to New Hampshire with former US senator Rick Santorum showing Big Momentum after his almost-win in Iowa and Mitt Romney planning to win the Granite State after years of plotting. Meanwhile an angry Newt Gingrich may be taking his campaign forth | Read More »

Rick Santorum’s late surge and very strong second-place showing in the Iowa caucuses is a jolt for the Republican primary process. “Game on!” indeed. For months we conservatives have all said that “We love Rick Santorum but he just isn’t getting any traction”. That now has changed. He is now center stage. Indeed the race up until Iowa, without a single vote cast, elevated and | Read More »

Today are the Iowa Caucuses. The 2012 campaign season is kicking off.  Wow. Time sure flies. And while Newt Gingrich seemed to be challenging Mitt Romney just a month ago, the Newt bandwagon has derailed. Iowa is a strange sort of primary – in-home caucus groups meeting across the state – that could have a big surprise like a suddenly strong showing by Rick Santorum | Read More »

2012 is going to be the most crucial election year in modern American history. Fortunately Barack Obama is unlikely to be re-elected. Generally speaking the numbers against him are simply too overwhelming. But things could change. We conservatives must not become complacent or overconfident. We must think every minute about what 2012 means in our plan to take America back from the jaws of destructive | Read More »

(This is a column that I wrote after the RedState gathering August 12-14, 2011. It is re-posted here for your enjoyment and enlightenment.) The RedState event in Charleston, South Carolina last weekend was a real conservative extravaganza. RedStaters should seriously consider attending next year when the gathering is preliminarily set to be held in Florida. The prominence of RedState.com and the RedState culture is growing, | Read More »

(This is a commentary from September 2011 about a great candidate for the US Senate whom I met at the RedState conference in Charleston. It is re-posted here for you enjoyment.) One of the biggest political surprises of 2011 was the announcement by Democrat US senator Jim Webb of Virginia that he is not going to seek re-election after one term in Washington. Webb was | Read More »

(This commentary was written after a surprise conservative election upset in a long-held Democrat congressional district. It is re-posted here for your enjoyment and enlightenment.) There can be only panic among Democrats over the September 13 special election that gave the US House seat in a strongly Jewish and Orthodox Jewish New York City district called NY-9 to conservative Republican Bob Turner. Democrats have held that seat | Read More »

(This commentary was written after the collapse of Solyndra. It is re-posted here for your reading and enjoyment.) Here is an excerpt from washingtonpost.com about the failed California solar energy company Solyndra that closed after receiving $535 million in federal loan guarantees:  ‘“Solyndra’s revenues grew from $6 million in 2008 to $100 million in 2009 to $140 million in 2010,” (CEO Brian) Harrison wrote. “For | Read More »

(This is an Autumn 2011 commentary re-posted here for your reading and enjoyment.) For years now – decades, in fact – we conservatives have been warned about our platform, our conduct, our demeanor. We have been told to act in a benevolent and compromising manner and are assured that the path to political victory for our movement is in moderation. We are instructed that we must | Read More »

In an editorial after the October 20, 2011 murder of dictator Ghaddafi by Libyan rebels, Nikitas3.com wrote the following (note bold sentence in paragraph 5 and the follow-up underneath it): There’s an old question that asks something like, “What happens after you throw the rascals out?” And that is a question that needs to be answered all over the Middle East as good leaders like | Read More »

While Republicans fret over the primaries, the Media Left are studiously avoiding the bad news that Obama faces in his re-election and the anxiety among Democrats over their president. Ignore all the media-driven polls which are designed to favor Obama. And consider the following excerpts – out of many – if you want to know the truth about Obama’s re-election prospects from the Democrat insider | Read More »

(North Korean genocidal murderer/dictator Kim Jong Il is dead. This is a good thing. But there will be no changes in that communist nation. The American Media Left are doing everything they can to soft-soap this maniac, many hardly mentioning the brutal situation in North Korea. The Washington Post wrote in the same story these two sentences, that Il ‘presided over a famine that killed | Read More »

The December 15 Fox News debate in Iowa was refreshing and points to better things. With many Republicans and conservatives feeling somewhat dispirited about the course of the debates throughout the Fall, and about the many stumbles of GOP candidates, this one seemed to open a new and more positive chapter in the nomination process. After a string of debates marred by silly sideshows like | Read More »

(A correction about yesterday’s column appears at the end of this commentary.) “There are plenty of haters out there,” said a commentator recently on the Don Imus radio program. He was talking about football fans who hate Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow for being a devout Christian and who publicly displays his love for Jesus Christ. Yes, indeed. Plenty of haters. On the atheist left, | Read More »

One of our high-tech drone aircraft crash-landed in Iran unscathed, giving to our enemy one of our highest-tech pieces of military hardware. Could a ring of traitors in our military be making sure that Iran has a drone to tear apart and reverse-engineer for their own production? Of course.  And the US Congress should stop passing legislation to turn down the volume on TV commercials | Read More »

A recent CNN poll said that Barack Obama’s overall approval rating remains in the mid-40s. This is nonsense. Obama’s real ratings are much lower. Because polls not only can be manipulated, but public opinion also is manipulated by outfits like CNN. And then CNN polls of the manipulated public opinion are taken. And manipulated by CNN to say whatever they desire. If these polls and | Read More »

After the Islamic terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan murdered 13 people on an army base at Ford Hood, Texas on November 5, 2009, Barack Obama offered a brief public statement about the killings. But Obama first spent two-and-a-half minutes of that statement talking casually about other issues like Indian tribal business before he even addressed the Fort Hood tragedy. As if Fort Hood were an afterthought. | Read More »

Barack Obama’s economic policies are classic socialism. He claims to represent “the middle class” and “working people” and “working families” and “the poor”. But he really represents only one essential idea – an expanding government – no matter what form that idea may take. This is to give control of all economic decisions to Big Government socialists like Obama. And if that government power helps | Read More »

If you want to see where the American left wants to take us, just look at the history they want us to ignore. One of the most egregious examples of failed socialist policy is in the area of transportation. In the post-World War II period you would have expected America’s freight railroads to have been thriving in a booming economy. But the opposite happened. By | Read More »
