It’s the water, stupid

"Whether that is in the Everglades or whether that is in the eastern Gulf region, or whether that's in North Dakota, we need to go where the...

Freedom Works To Protest Romney

Not sure this is a smart move for them. 

A top tea party organizing group, FreedomWorks, is planning to protest Mitt Romney’s appearance this weekend at a New Hampshire stop of a bus tour intended to encourage tea party sympathizers to participate in the Republican presidential nominating process. 

FreedomWorks, which had been...

WaPo’s Rubin: An Especially Dumb Christie Effort

Rubin's latest Christie cheer may be as offensive as it is dumb, actually. Seriously, even with all the Palin fanatics and newly converted Perryistinians around, Jennifer Rubin's Christie crush is beginning to top everything. Maybe there's a fat man fetish behind all this, who knows? Earth to Rubin, saying...

Is Sarah Palin Your Shackleton?

A brief, well written essay casting Sarah Palin in the role of a modern day Sir Ernest Shacketon navigating today's political landscape. Metaphorically, the voyage may be as dangerous with the destination looking as much in doubt. Certainly, from the start, Palin insires this form of dedication in more followers than...

“First Responders and Clergyfolk are not very important to the powerful and the enlightened”

"Join us and thousands of patriots at the AFDI/SIOA 911 Freedom Rally at Ground Zero on the afternoon of September 11th. We will have a priest and a rabbi for the invocation as part of our program (just as we did last year). Be there," writes our sister grizzly in arms...

Why Perry May Fade

Based only upon buzz about Perry I had been hearing for some time, if asked, and I did say it to friends at the time, a month ago, my preference was for Perry to get in, consolidate conservatives, for Palin to stay out, and have Perry take the fight to...

RCP’s Scott Conroy On Blog Feuds

Scott Conroy of Real Clear Politics is a terrifically solid writer, as I told him today, the first time we've spoken. That's not surprising. Real Clear Politics usually does things the right way. We discussed a few topics, including some dynamics behind the candidate-based blog back and forth in the Blogosphere...

The Radtke vs. Erickson Time-Line

Just a couple notes because there seem to be many misinterpretations of what went on here. First, everyone knows I fight my own battles and fight them here, publicly. That's how it's been for eight years. I relish it and have never hidden from one. This isn't my fight.

It's between the...

Jamie Radtke’s RS Gathering Speech

I've resisted serious comment regarding the unfortunate doings at RedState today and will continue to do so; however, reading the Politico item and having now been told some of what has been said about Jamie Radtke at RS - as, I hope, a decent man and a conservative, I feel compelled to add...

Perry Versus Palin

Simply an observation from watching the goings and comings on the Internet and how various voices and forces seem to be aligning themselves as relates to their support for Rick Perry or Sarah Palin. This isn't a cut and dried observation and it may change in time. Also, most groups...

An Evasive Jack Hunter vs. Stalwart Jeffrey Lord

Mark sent along this link after having mentioned what fine work Jeffrey Lord has been doing over at AmSpec on Ron Paul Conservativsm. Today features some back and forth through a Facebook link. I always enjoy reading Lord's work. The thinking is solid and his voice clear. Enjoy!

Jack Hunter attempted to...
