A millimeter. A centimeter. An inch. They are all measures of distance. Even the smallest of them measures some distance. Our job this year as conservatives is to put some distance between us and the left. In doing so, it is our job to push the Senate Republican to the right. Every inch counts when dealing with 100 senators and 40 or 50 Republicans. Every | Read More »
On this day in 1764, James Otis, Jr., a Massachusetts lawyer, published his thoughts on taxation, coining the phrase “taxation without representation” in the process. Consider this an open thread.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Georgia Right to Life. Today, Georgia Right to Life attacked Georgia gubernatorial candidate Karen Handel for funding Planned Parenthood when Handel chaired the Fulton County Commission in Georgia. The funding had actually been approved before Handel got there and the money was designated for cancer screenings with Planned Parenthood doing the cancer screenings instead of the county.

There was an interesting comment made on the floor of the United States Senate yesterday. I first noticed in from Senator Jim DeMint’s twitter feed. DeMint tweeted, “Sen. Dorgan just said a vote for tax cuts is a vote to ‘reduce this country’s income. To Democrats, it’s the government’s money. Not yours.” Really? I mean it wouldn’t surprise me, but we rarely hear the Democrats | Read More »
Please take a moment to watch the debate on Good Morning America between Eric Boehlert of Media Matters for America and Andrew Brietbart of, among other outlets, Big Government. Eric Boehlert states the following about the Tea Party movement: There are clearly racist elements.

I’m torn on saying anything about this, but think the better part of valor requires me to speak up on this. The Shirley Sherrod debate reminds me of Rush Limbaugh trying to buy the St. Louis Rams. For three days after the announcement reporters, news anchors, “legitimate” “journalists” brought up several Limbaugh quotes that painted him as a racist. For three days these “legitimate” people | Read More »
We’ve mentioned before Jane Norton’s reliance on Cinamon out in Colorado. Cinamon helps Jane Norton answer her questions. I was shocked and appalled to hear this public radio interview with Jane Norton. Instead of relying on Cinamon for advice on how to deal with illegal alients, Jane Norton is instead relying on “hispanic clergy.” Their advice? Don’t send illegals home. Give them community service then | Read More »
We joined the movement early. In the entire United States of America and all the candidates I am proud to support and proud of, Nikki Haley is at the top of the list. If you haven’t donated to her campaign, I sure hope you will consider it.
It is as we all suspected. It was the moment of greatest peril for then-Sen. Barack Obama’s political career. In the heat of the presidential campaign, videos surfaced of Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, angrily denouncing whites, the U.S. government and America itself. Obama had once bragged of his closeness to Wright. Now the black nationalist preacher’s rhetoric was threatening to torpedo Obama’s campaign. | Read More »

Barack Obama is out accusing the Republican Party of a lack of faith in the American people. But it is Barack Obama who thinks the government must tell people what they can and cannot eat.

I haven’t mentioned it, but I’m a big fan of Kevin Calvey for Congress. He’s running in Oklahoma for the 5th Congressional District. He’s a recipient of the Bronze Star for his service in the Iraq War. Kevin was part of the surge. He’s got the Club for Growth behind him, Concerned Women of America, Gun Owners of America, me, and others. This guy is | Read More »
