In another “WTF?” moment concerning the GOP, today’s Drudge Report has “GOP moves to prop up Obamcare?” which in turn links to an article in The Hill entitled “GOP fast tracks bill to fortify ObamaCare’s high-risk pools.” http://thehill.com/blogs/healthwatch/health-reform-implementation/294099-gop-fast-tracks-bill-to-fortify-obamacares-high-risk-pools In what might be described as an echo of the “Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit” that the GOP thought would suddenly make seniors vote for the newly Democrat-appearing GOP, the | Read More »

Let us first stipulate that the GOP is both competent only in its collaboration with the Progressive agenda, and incompetent as the putative opposition party to same. If the GOP were intending to advance the American cause (a/k/a conservatism), it would respond to B. Hussein Obama’s sequester lies and demagoguery thus (via officeholder message discipline, and running paid TV ads to bypass the Progressive Media | Read More »

“Under-voting” must become the new conservative mantra (under-voting is when one votes, but not in every single race on the ballot). The Bill Buckley model of “vote for the most conservative in the primary, and then the most conservative on the ballot [that can get elected] in the general” is now working against us, for the GOP establishment is poised to intervene and hijack the | Read More »

We cannot escape the media coverage regarding the so-called “fiscal cliff.”  Human Events has reported that for the most part the threatened “devastating cuts” are primarily reductions in baseline-budgeted projected increases, not actual cuts (hence the title of this piece “Fauxscal Cliff”). So query why the GOP is going along with this charade … could the GOP leadership actually be closeted Progressives who are in | Read More »

Apparently John Boehner has read neither Sun Tzu’s “Art of War” or basic primers on negotiating.   Once again the Democrats are running circles around the Republicans, and setting them up to take the fall.  And the Republicans are obliging them.   Deathly afraid of being accused for being responsible for the “fiscal cliff,” the Boehner Republicans have entered into “negotiations” with B. Hussein Obama.  | Read More »

While noble in spirit, Grover Norquist’s tax pledge is inherently flawed, for it has provided an undeserved cloak of fiscal responsibility to its signatories, and so provided (primarily) Republican officeholders with an unwarranted pass. The problem with the pledge is that it only proscribes voting for increases in tax rates, it does not proscribe voting for increases in taxes.  For in the end, taxes are | Read More »

Obama and his media sycophants have anointed themselves with a “mandate” to raise taxes and otherwise breach the remaining barricades of the Constitutions and move “FORWARD” with statism. Rather than “sign on” and accept whatever crumbs they may throw our way (if any), and provide a chimera of bipartisanship (and thus implied legitimacy) to what they are doing to our country, it is submitted that | Read More »

Multiple reports are stating that the victims of Obama’s stand down orders were “painting” targets around the consulate in Banghazi.  Military personnel in a defensive position at risk of being overrun by superior forces WOULD NOT be wasting time and limited battery power to “paint” targets unless they were under the impression that there were aircraft on scene, or about to be, that could place | Read More »

One would hope that the Romney campaign has already considered and taken steps to execute what follows, but that is by no means something that we can assume. The Romney campaign appears to be running a conventional election campaign premised on an assumption that this is a conventional election. As readers of this site well know, it is anything but. B. Hussein Obama is not | Read More »

Erick Erickson: In his speech to the United Nations General Assembly today the President of the United States declared that the future does not belong to practicing Christians. Already, the media and the left are in full denial, probably based on their general lack of understanding of theology. This would have been a gaffe had Mitt Romney said it. But with Barack Obama, he’s just speaking bold | Read More »
