One of the founders of the modern day conservative movement, M. Stanton Evans, posted an article yesterday which shows more than anything, the potential of the Gang of 8 proposal to unify the GOP. Yes I know the prevailing “wisdom” as laid down by political pundits of the mainstream media and especially those on the left, is that it would be political suicide for the | Read More »
We are privileged to pass on this “Thank you open letter to Mitt Romney” “Dear Governor Romney. Thank you for coming to Morrisville, PA this past Sunday. After your remarks as you went down the line shaking hands with those who had stood there 5 hours to get a front row spot, I am the one who got your attention by saying ‘My son is | Read More »
(5th in A Fortnight for Freedom Series, For Greater Glory PLEDGE) During the Vietnam war, we first heard that America is helping to bring Democracy to another land which otherwise would not know it. A major part of the “White Man’s Burden” (as Rudyard Kipling’s famous poem calls it) then and many times since, has been to “bring Democracy” to those who would otherwise not know | Read More »
A values voter verdict on the looming battle between President Obama and Attorney General Holder versus the Congress, now that a panel has voted Holder in Contempt of Congress, is rather one sided against the Administration, once a few stipulations are noted. The President today invoked “Executive Privilege” but undeterred, a Congressional Committee led by Rep. Darrell Issa, courageously voted to hold him “in contempt | Read More »
(4th in A Fortnight for Freedom Series, For Greater Glory PLEDGE) No one’s laughing. But there was apparent irony in Harrisburg, PA this past Friday at a “religious freedom” rally on the capitol steps. While priests, ministers and rabbis continue to exhort their faithful to practice their faith outside the four walls of their church or synagogue and not just for an hour on Sunday, | Read More »
How to explain Wisconsin and the huge victory margin for the now Again Elected Scott Walker, the massive defeat for the left and in fact, the victory margin actually increasing with his reelection versus his original election? Ronald Reagan at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) of 1974, was asked if it was time for a third party and time to give up on | Read More »
(3rd in A Fortnight for Freedom Series, For Greater Glory PLEDGE.) In the “two minute hate” depicted in George Orwell’s book 1984 (required for high school students in my day), the party members’ daily ritual included the watching of a 2 minute video designed to whip up personal hatred for the enemies of the party. Some of those watching would actually get so whipped up | Read More »
(A Fortnight for Freedom Series, For Greater Glory PLEDGE.) Megan Kelly on Fox News lectured Michael Reagan today, “but we have to follow the rule of law, this is the one thing that binds us together as a nation, the rule of law.” The Fox News segment was about the recent call of the Catholic Bishops in opposition to the President’s cancellation of their first | Read More »
The doctor who helped America find and kill Osama bin Laden last May is now officially a criminal and a “traitor” according to the so-called “justice system” of Pakistan, which ought to tell us clearly that any further attempts to label this country a U.S. ally are foolish in the extreme. Those friendly to the terrorists and who are animated by a deep hatred of | Read More »
In the 1960′s and 1970′s conservatives railed against those elements of the anti-war movement in America being led by “agents of a foreign power hostile to the interests of the United States,” which was how one of them, the National Lawyers Guild, was described by a panel of Congress. One of those conservative groups, Young Americans for Freedom, was founded with a magazine cover article | Read More »
The Filipino boxer, world champion turned Congressman from the Philippines who helped reelect Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in a close race against a TEA Party favorite by rallying the huge Filipino community in Nevada (and especially in Las Vegas), may not be so popular with liberal Democrats after what he said about Barack Obama’s pro-gay marriage views this week. Asked by a reporter, Manny | Read More »
Recent headlines highlight President Obama’s “war on Catholics.” I’ve written of this several times myself. (most recently HERE). The Catholic Bishops have called for a “fortnight for freedom” of events to teach and commemorate America’s historic protection of religious freedom and the threat they face from the Obama Administration – a two week period ending on the 4th of July this year. But the “war | Read More »
How about releasing convicted felons serving jail time, if it can be shown that their children are bona fide American citizens, and are in danger of being raised by foster parents or placed up for adoption because one or both parents are in jail? Oh, you think that sounds insane? Incredibly, that is exactly what the pro-illegals group called the Latino Policy Coalition is now | Read More »
More bad news for those who think that Mitt Romney should follow Rachel Maddow’s advice on how to run for President by “ekta-sketching” to the left, now that he is the “presumptive” GOP nominee. Romney has the leftwing blogosphere and the handful of people who watch media outlets like MSNBC on full battle alert both before and after his appearance this past Saturday morning at | Read More »
The “major” news media still has not seen fit to tell the story of the two white reporters attacked by a black mob in Norfolk, Virginia. Bill O’Reilly is virtually alone among major media in reporting on this, and noting that the Norfolk area “Virginia-Pilot” did not see fit to cover the local story. Denis Finley said it was merely a “simple assault” and his | Read More »
“We’ve been deluged by hundreds of pathetic posts defending Rick Santorum’s “conservatism. Thankfully his campaign has been suspended and don’t have to read that stupid crap anymore. There is talk of “Santorum ’16″ but after today that claptrap will hopefully die a metaphorically violent death.” Besides such a juvenile ranting as what I quoted above, this particular “gem” also contained more trash which I will | Read More »
Has anybody else noticed how far on the liberal-left side of the political spectrum that Fox TV’s Shepard Smith appears to be? This “Shepardista” is as “fair and balanced” as the Sandinista Communists were for freedom and democracy in Nicaragua. Not!! I don’t have a problem with a liberal-leftist on Fox TV. But I object to their claim that “news anchor” Shepard Smith is a | Read More »
I knew Gerald Ford, or as much as any hard core Reaganite could in 1976. And Mitt Romney, you are no Gerald Ford. At least, that’s the word from Rick Santorum (if I may paraphrase him), who like the Ronald Reagan of 1976 has been defeated in a GOP Presidential primary by the establishment candidate. Rick Santorum wrote to me and other Santorum supporters late | Read More »
While there appears to be a happy ending in the works for Chinese Dissident Chen Guangcheng, if you trust the Chinese Communists to keep their new promise to allow him to leave with his family, few media reports tell the story of what he was “dissenting” from and not a single one so far has put this into the context of Vice President Biden’s siding | Read More »
“Cradle to Grave: Reelect Obama, he will take care of you during your entire life, from age 3 to age 67.” That may be my slogan but the sentiment expressed, is exactly the “storyboard” on the Obama for President website on this new “The Life of Julia” segment I just read. You had better rush over to the Obama for President website immediately to take | Read More »
I’m grateful for hearing so many good conservative ideas from Newt Gingrich and thoroughly enjoyed his performances during the debates. But poor Shephard Smith on Fox News was insufferable today, blasting away at Newt Gingrich moments after the former House Speaker announced that he had suspended his campaign for President. Newt’s crime in Shephard’s eyes, was he discussed too many ideas as he withdrew and | Read More »
President Obama’s televised remarks from Afghanistan last night gave the impression to many Americans that he is giving credit where it is due, but the smoothest liar to every occupy the White House may have taken a bridge to far, to echo the story of paratroopers who jumped too far and could not hold the ground they had taken. Of far greater concern, President Obama | Read More »
So Occupy Wall Street wants to “celebrate” their special holiday long called “May Day” by “shutting down” 130 American cities today, with various websites calling for a halt to school, work, housework, schoolwork or any other unpleasantness in order to assert power “by the 99%” against the wicked “One Percent.” And here they go again today with their clenched fist and their angry protests against | Read More »
The call to the Catholic faithful to oppose the administration of Barack Obama continues to intensify with a new proclamation issued by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops which directly calls for all Catholics to fight for the reversal of the February “mandate” which requires Catholic and other religious institutions in America to provide what the Harrisburg Diocese’s website calls “infanticide” services which violate Catholic | Read More »
The outrage, is that there’s not more outrage from Christians. The most toned down I can get on the question of Obama Administration official who revealed that their policy is to use the terrorist tactic of crucifixion on businessmen to force them to stop trying to supply Americans with lower cost energy in the quantities needed is to say it is irreverent and should provoke | Read More »
