Scott Brown and the conservatives

Hasn’t this past week or so been a wild and woolly ride in the world of politics? I mean, we had all kinds of excitement, including a Republican win in the mostly liberal state of Massachusetts. Who would have thought Scott Brown could have ever pulled off his victory, but we have proof, as he [...]

An open and honest Congress

Over the last several days, I have written a couple of articles that spoke of possible Republican gains in Congress in the mid-term elections in November. As conservatives and Republicans, there are a lot of us who hope that happens. Part of that hope rises from our desire to see Congress operate a bit differently [...]

New York congressional race heats up

I have been out of the news loop for most of the weekend, due to having other obligations and it appears that I have missed a lot. Mike has already written about the struggle between the conservative and moderate factions of the Republican Party and how this struggle is playing out in the race for [...]

Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney – Looking forward to 2012

Some may say this post is about two or three years early and they may very well be right, but this is something that has been on my mind for some time and I suppose now is as good a time as any to put pen to paper, so to speak. Yes, I understand it is only 2009 and Barack Obama has only been in office for about four months, but we will have a chance to vote him out of office in 2012 and the campaign will start earlier than that.

Were Chrysler dealership closings politically motivated?

The articles I have written so far about the troubles of General Motors and Chrysler have been posted in Economy, but this article belongs in the US News/Politics category. Since the announcement by Chrysler that 789 of their 3,300 dealers were going to be closed, there has been a growing hubbub of speculation about the [...]

The reality of Guantanamo Bay

At least for the time being, President Obama has been slapped with a large dose of reality about the detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Senate voted today 90-6 to block $80 million in funding that would allow the prison to be closed and the prisoners being held there transferred to other facilities. Ever [...]

Nancy Pelosi, the CIA, and the Republicans

I have refrained from writing about the battle of words that is currently under way between the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the CIA, concerning how much information Congress was given about the waterboarding of terrorist suspects. Personally, I can’t believe she didn’t know what was going on, as she was the top [...]

Rush Limbaugh at CPAC

If you have been reading my blog for very long, you will know that I am no fan of Rush Limbaugh. I find him very hard to listen to because of his arrogance, but I have to admit, if you want to watch a speech that defines conservatism and it’s core beliefs, this is the [...]

Mike Huckabee at CPAC

Since the election is over and the Republican Party is in the shadows for the time being, a lot has been said as to the reasons behind their defeat. Among the reasons that have been listed is the theory that social conservatives have had too much say in the party platform and have caused the [...]

Republican National Committee has their first African American Chairman

After six rounds of voting, the Republican National Committee has elected their first African American Chairman in Michael Steele. He was not my first or second choice, but he is certainly much better than the status quo with Mike Duncan or someone who is as racist in Katon Dawson.
Michael Steele is the former Lt. Governor [...]
