Equipoise And Self-Discovery Leads To Victory

By: Repair_Man_Jack (Diary)  |  November 7th at 12:00 PM  | 

Tomorrow — or I guess today — comes the cleanup; when thousands, perhaps millions, of right-wing heads explode, it makes quite a mess. Also, notice that the polls were right. I wonder if I can get invited when Nate Silver is sworn in as president? OK, somewhat more seriously: one big thing that just happened was that the real America trumped the “real America”. And it’s also the election that lets us ask, finally, “Who cares what’s the matter with Kansas?”

– Paul Krugman just being his lovable self. (HT: NYT)

I admit defeat. To the extent that I proudly wear the vaunted jersey of Team Conservative and represent the hopes, dreams and values of our movement, I just got bread-trucked. And then the truck backed-up and did a few doughnuts on my meticulously-manicured lawn. I suck the odious dregs of vituperation and defeat through a sipping straw and hereby congratulate President Obama on his victory.

I do that to clearly and completely disassociate myself from the debasing and auto-beclowning conduct displayed by Mr. Krugman above. I hate doing it. But I choose to lose in the matter that befits a gentleman.

Candy Crowley Admits Romney was Right on Libya

By: Jake (Diary)  |  October 17th at 12:08 AM  | 

One of the most talked about moments in tonight’s debate was when Candy Crowley “fact checked” Mitt Romney on Libya. Make no mistake, this was an attempt to cover for President Obama, who has been bleeding on the issue all week. However, when confronted about it after the debate, she started to backtrack. Of course, I’m with RedState founder Joshua Treviño: PROTIP: Correct yourself onscreen, | Read More »

The FY 13 NDAA Keeps Terrorists Off U.S. Soil without Compromising Civil Liberties

By: RedState Insider (Diary)  |  May 15th at 09:00 PM  | 

Guest post from Rep. Louie Gohmert, Rep. Jeff Landry, and Rep. Scott Rigell This week, the House will fulfill our most important constitutional duty by debating the FY 13 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). In accordance with the framer’s intent, this act is the primary check that Congress can apply to the Executive Branch on defense and national security policy. Last year, constitutional conservatives raised | Read More »

Obama insults his base with his ‘second term’ wish list.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  May 15th at 01:00 AM  | 

(H/T: Hot Air Headlines) Apparently the President wants to spend his extremely hypothetical second term doing the following: Repealing DOMA; Passing another DREAM Act; ‘Reforming’ Wall Street; and ‘Investing’ in schools. Now, I’m not going to fall into the trap of getting sidelined discussing the merits of any or all of those proposals*. Instead, I’m going to ask: just how stupid does President Obama think | Read More »

Forward?

By: Joe "the Plumber" Wurzelbacher (Diary)  |  May 2nd at 11:31 AM  | 

From the diaries. Dear Mister President: I stopped by your house the other day because I wanted to talk with you about what’s happened since we last met. I vividly remember the day you passed through my neighborhood during your 2008 campaign for President. I looked you in the eye and asked how your tax plan would affect a business I was going to buy. | Read More »

Hard at Work on the Home Front

By: Alice Stewart (Diary)  |  April 13th at 03:00 PM  | 

If Democrats are looking to point the finger at who has work to do in bridging the political gender gap, they need to look no further than a mirror. Democrat strategist Hilary Rosen’s suggestion that motherhood isn’t work was an intentional and insulting shot across the bow in the war on moms. Liberals fight for a woman’s right to choose, why don’t they defend a | Read More »

Hilary Rosen Thrown Under Bus for Denigrating Ann Romney and Moms, But She Only Said What Democrats Believe

By: Lori Ziganto (Diary)  |  April 13th at 12:00 PM  | 

I’ve had this post started in drafts since yesterday morning. But, you know, was busily “just being a mom” and all. Eating my bon-bons and swilling my chilled Riesling took far longer than expected. Now it’s the next morning and I’m already so darn tired. If only I had a “real job” and “worked a day in my life” instead of this mom stuff. Still, | Read More »

Revealing Video: Same Tired Rhetoric

By: Caleb Howe (Diary)  |  April 4th at 04:45 PM  | 

The above video from the RNC compares Obama’s 2011 speech on the House budget to Obama’s 2012 speech on the House budget. The orator in Chief is often accused of rehashing used talking points in speeches, both from lack of imagination, and due to the fact that, having failed to tackle any problems effectively, he constantly has to address the same problems. As you can | Read More »

Yet Another Obama Administration Aviation Security Failure

By: Brian Darling (Diary)  |  March 6th at 05:15 PM  | 

Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano has failed us again.  Her hostility to allowing pilots to be armed against terrorists is going to make our nation less safe.  On Monday, Napolitano’s vision for a “risk based” security system failed to keep a box cutter off a commercial aircraft in Houston. Secretary Napolitano said recently at a House Homeland Security Committee hearing that she is proposing a 50% cut | Read More »

Limbaugh, Fluke, ‘War on Women’ and the Travesty of Cravenly Caving to Lies of the Left

By: Lori Ziganto (Diary)  |  March 5th at 04:00 PM  | 

I learned something this weekend. Evidently, using the word slut is far more egregious than peeing on the Constitution and on personal and religious liberty. And being equated to a slut due to demanding that others pay for your personal sexual choices is more egregious than actually being a thirty year old perpetual student leech, spouting outright lies. Because, entitled. I had another teachable moment as well: the GOP | Read More »

Obama Volt 2012

By: Caleb Howe (Diary)  |  February 10th at 10:45 AM  | 

He’s spent $38 in gas – in two months! (He’s home a lot these days.) See how, and see what Bob thinks of his new Volt, his fire insurance, and what it’s like to stay home most of the time! The wondrous Chevy Volt, and the enlightened President Obama: that’s a team with the smallest amount of gas in the 2012 race. Check out their | Read More »

Obama’s ‘Blueprint for America’ is built on a cracked foundation

By: Dr. Broun (Diary)  |  January 26th at 11:45 AM  | 

In years past, I’ve chosen to forego attending President Obama’s annual State of the Union speech, and instead focused on interacting with my constituents through live, virtual town halls while I watched the speech in my office. This wasn’t out of disrespect, but because I wanted to see real-time responses from Georgians and to get their ideas for what might jumpstart our economy. This year, | Read More »

Cornyn on Balanced Budget Amendment, Obama’s Failure to Lead, Fast and Furious

By: Robert Bluey (Diary)  |  November 16th at 10:16 PM  | 

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) had tough words for President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder following a speech today at The Heritage Foundation. He criticized Obama for a failure to lead and voiced concern about Holder’s handling of the Operation Fast and Furious scandal. “Unfortunately, the president is already campaigning, trying to channel Harry Truman, railing against a ‘do-nothing Congress’ when he’s apparently given up | Read More »

SBA List Video Highlights Obama’s Laser Like Focus on Government Funding of Abortion

By: Lori Ziganto (Diary)  |  September 22nd at 05:00 PM  | 

It has been said many times that President Obama is the most pro-abortion President in our history. I wonder where people possibly get that idea? Could it be because he thinks it is more of a “punishment” to have a baby than to live with the life-long guilt and pain of aborting a child? Or could it be because he talks about babies as ‘it’ | Read More »

Salon’s Joan Walsh: Predictable and Racist Buffoon

By: Lori Ziganto (Diary)  |  May 17th at 10:28 AM  | 

Joan Walsh is nothing if not predictable and super tiring. Oh yeah, and totally racist. Her true racist colors showed once again in her latest article at Salon. The article was meant to attack Newt Gingrich for a statement he made at the Georgia Republican Convention and defended – rightly – afterward on Meet The Press, which further goes to show what an absolute oaf | Read More »
