When John Edwards was doing what he was doing with Rielle Hunter, much of the conservative movement was up in arms that the man had an affair on his cancer stricken wife, had a baby with the adulteress, and then tried to cover it up. The National Enquirer, of all places, was first on the story and it took the more traditional media forever to | Read More »
Todd Akin, the Republican Senate nominee in Missouri, made an inarticulate and rather dumb statement about rape and abortion on television in Missouri. He subsequently clarified his remarks. Congressman Akin, like many devout Christians, does not believe in a rape exception for abortion. Naturally, the very same left that gave Joe Biden a pass on his “put y’all back in chains” comment is horrid by | Read More »

Archibishop Chaput of Philadelphia knows a thing or two about tolerance. I preached a Sunday School lesson about tolerance today. I’ll get into it later. Let me quote the Archbishop though. We need to remember that tolerance is not a Christian virtue. Charity, justice, mercy, prudence, honesty — these are Christian virtues. And obviously, in a diverse community, tolerance is an important working principle. But | Read More »
I’ve been critical of a lot of the Super PAC ads, but I have to say that American Crossroads has hit it out of the park today: That is staggeringly awesome. Go give them some cash so they can get that ad up everywhere.
The writer Emma Bull is quoted as saying, “Coincidence is the word we use when we can’t see the levers and pulleys.” I’m not sure if it is levers, pulleys, and strings moving Maureen Dowd, Katrina vanden Heuvel, the New York Times, and the Washington Post, or just hands up the nether regions like controlling a muppet, but if we look carefully enough I think | Read More »

I will be filling in for Neal Boortz today from 8:30am to 1pm ET. You can listen live tonight on the WSB live stream and call in at 1-877-310-2100. I’ll get into the shooting at the Family Research Council, the President’s now near habitual lying, the Navy SEALs speaking out against the President, and at 12 o’clock our own Jeff Emanuel joins me to talk | Read More »
Look at the first bullet point here. He claims Paul Ryan wants to ban common forms of birth control. That is a lie. It is also a lie to claim that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan want to “drag us back to the 1950s.” Does the President really believe that crap? Apparently so. It’s on his website. And yes, if you are going to make | Read More »
This morning the Guardian, a liberal newspaper out of London, announced it was hiring one of RedState’s co-founders, Josh Trevino, as a conservative columnist. Since the announcement was made, the Guardian has come under withering assault for daring to hire Josh. I know a thing about that. To this day there are still folks trying to drive me off television. Luckily, CNN was kind enough | Read More »
I just donated to FRCAction, the legislative/political wing of the Family Research Council. I hope you will join me in support and solidarity with this group that came under an attack today from a gunman who, based on what we know so far, hates FRC for standing for traditional values.
I got this email from Fred Sainz, the Vice President for Communications and Marketing at the Human Rights Company: I have a great deal of admiration for you and like watching you on CNN. These Tweets are beneath you. It’s really unseemly to insinuate — in any way — that HRC had anything to do with the violence that occurred today at FRC. FRC IS | Read More »
This appears on the twitter feed of @ABCPolitics James Dobson’s former organization is called Focus on the Family. Family Research Council is run by Tony Perkins. The news organization that immediately concluded the Aurora, CO shooter was probably a tea party activist has a real problem telling conservatives apart. By the way, Jackie Bensen of NBC 4 in Washington, DC reports the shooter had Chick-Fil-A | Read More »
The Family Research Council is one of my favorite organizations. I consider Tony Perkins a friend and he and his staff are in my prayers today, as they should be yours. A gunman entered the building this morning, took issue with the work FRC does (no motive is known other than the gunman uttering a complaint about what FRC does), and began to shoot. A | Read More »
Palin (verb w obj.) pay • lîn To pile on a Vice Presidential nominee and blame him/her for defeat so political consultants do not have to accept any responsibility. There have been a number of stories out over the past few days from Republican political consultants on background claiming the GOP is now screwed because Paul Ryan is the Vice Presidential nominee. There is an | Read More »
