Lovely Ideas from Pretty People

It’s not as if humans are only allowed to be smart or physically striking.  We can separate the portion of that sentence from “smart” forward, steer it into Conjunction Junction, and swap out the “or” for an “and” without fear of creating incongruity, as there’s no reason why people can’t be both.  For proof, inform [...]

Palin Proves Bright Novice Beats Dull Veteran

Rock star Sarah Palin needs no more time in any office, excluding the literal space where she writes books and signs on to social networking sites.  The Black-Friday-in-Walmart’s-parking-lot response to her book demonstrates her greatest appeal, namely how strong ideology trumps vast experience.
Set aside her cheerless, zealous haters, namely the impossible sorts who will emit [...]

Is there room in the Republican tent for conservatives?

By Lisa Farrar Wellman
For generations, two parties have dominated the political scene in the U.S. This might not be true in the future if disgruntled conservatives have anything to say about it. The Republican Party would be wise to heed their words.
Disillusioned and angry, numerous conservatives have vowed to vote their beliefs and forget about [...]

Thomas Frank’s “mysterious freedom physics” explained

By Russ Cote
As if almost on cue, RedState explains the Law of Politcial Motion to Thomas Frank in the context of the California Public Employee Retirement System (CALPers).
Now, I understand that the disaster looming in California is exactly what kooks like Frank want to happen to the Country at large, so I’m not speaking to [...]

Remember: Ronald Reagan Wasn’t a Hater

By Nichole Hungerford

I lost my cool in an argument with a friend over Cap-and-Trade.  My points had morphed into angry diatribes.  I hadn’t yet gotten to explicit insults, but my tone was surely at the point of communicating, “What are you, stupid?” to my old, dear friend.

When I realized my inadvertent emotional escalation, I [...]

Palin Supporters Should Thank Her Haters

By Anthony Bialy

We can officially stop waiting for the Sarah Palin scandal. Most supporters cringed after her July 3 resignation speech because they were anticipating that the hurricane’s eye was about to pass; her backers were next preparing for a career-destroying storm. But there’s no need to hunker in the bathtub as she, for the moment, leaves life as an officeholder behind.

That’s unless the latest complaint against her, where she was supposed to make herself less famous somehow to avoid raising money in order to fight the other complaints, sinks her, which it won’t. Instead, we can safely presume that she’s simply doing what she feels is best. It’s fantastic news for those who think her forthcoming guidance will also be what’s best for all of us

Obama Scorecard

By Russ Cote

Obama’s good for something- 2.5 percent of the time

Tracking Barack Obama’s screw-ups may become one of the few full-time non-federal jobs he ever creates. It may not pay well, but what occupation does anymore? In fact, someone has already taken on the chore of tracking the president’s endless mistakes:

Um, “Free” Health Care?

By Jenny Erikson
There are two types of “free.” Free as in freedom, and free as in beer.Some things are essentially free. Rainbows, wildflowers, hugs and kisses from loved ones, and sometimes, a beer from a friend who says, “Don’t worry about it, I’ve got this one.”
As Americans, we are free citizens. It’s right there in [...]

Conservatism for Dummies

By Dr. Jack Cashill
More than once, I have been approached about writing a book on the subject of conservatism. I have chosen not to because I don’t need a book to explain it. I need a paragraph.

Besides, no one on the left or in the media would ever read a book on conservatism. It will be hard enough to get them to read a paragraph. For the record:

The truth about why some women hate Palin

By Natalie Nichols
Obviously there are many reasons for various women to dislike Sarah Palin.  She is a proud Conservative, she is a working mother, she is religious, and she is a Republican.  Those are all valid reasons for those with differing views not to like Palin.  But one look at the news on any [...]
