I think we all know who I'd like to see as my candidate in a brokered convention.
Conservatives gathered in Washington this week are increasingly relishing the prospect that the Republican presidential nomination fight will extend for months, and could even lead to a brokered convention in Tampa, Fla., this summer.
Fueled by former [...]

I guess yelling and screaming does work:
"With the White House under fire for its new rule requiring employers including religious organizations to offer health insurance that fully covers birth control coverage, ABC News has learned that later today the White House — possibly President Obama himself — will likely announce an [...]

House Set to Ban Welfare Payments at Strip Clubs:
As the recession continues onward, House Republicans are worried that those receiving welfare payments may be having a bit too good of a time.
The chamber will again vote Wednesday on a bill which would ensure that electronic withdrawals of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families [...]

Maybe the title of the article should be, "Batistiano Mafia pro-embargo exile hardliners proven right once again!"
Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has officially launched a Spanish-language satellite TV channel, saying it would deal a blow to "dominance seekers" – remarks that were an apparent dig at the US and the west.
Iran's broadcasting company said Hispan TV, [...]

I'll be publishing an essay Monday on what I've described in an email thread as "the most fucked-up Republican primary campaign of my lifetime." For the moment, though, go over to American Spectator and read the superb piece by Jeffrey Lord on (one of) the hatchet jobs being done on Newt Gingrich. Here's a taste:
As [...]

I guess 'anti-Castro vitriol' is much worse than murdering political prisoners or denying basic human rights:
A disgusted Andrea Mitchell on Thursday decried the "anti-Castro vitriol" coming from Republican presidential candidates in Florida, sneering that they are "pander bears" to the Cuban community. [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
Teasing a discussion with Chuck [...]

If you want to know why some of us feel the way we do, here it is in a nutshell:
Ron Paul took a risky position in Florida in Thursday’s debate, calling for communication and diplomatic relations with Cuba, saying that people's positions have changed dramatically over the last few years.
Paul said that [...]

This is the best analysis of the ridiculous (but not unexpected) Keystone XL pipeline decision I've heard to date. The video is unembeddable so here is the link.

Despite what the "progressives" think, America is still a basically conservative nation.
Political ideology in the U.S. held steady in 2011, with 40% of Americans continuing to describe their views as conservative, 35% as moderate, and 21% as liberal. This marks the third straight year that conservatives have outnumbered moderates, after more than [...]

Moron.
Center-right New York Times columnist David Brooks opined a few months ago that President Obama, whom he once supported, was governing like a liberal.
Today, Brooks doubled down, telling Laura Ingraham this morning that Obama is not only governing that way, he is that way — or at least more that way than Brooks once thought.
"I [...]

The second superb article on Ron Paul and libertarians in American Thinker: "Ron Paul and the Dictatorship of the Libertariat."
[...] Think, for a moment, of the final moments of (spoiler alert!) Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. For those not familiar with the work, it's basically the story of a world where all of the people [...]

A great article about the less-than-savory aspects of libertarianism, vis-a-vis Ron Pau: "To Get Ron Paul's Insanity, You Have To Understand Libertarianism."
[...] As you'd expect, Paul is insouciant about nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran's incinerate-the-Jews/establish-a-worldwide-caliphate regime . Why wouldn't they want nukes? "Internationally, they'd be given more respect." Besides, "they are surrounded." (If [...]

Captain Electability to endorse Romney tomorrow:
John McCain will endorse his '08 rival Mitt Romney tomorrow, a top Republican source confirmed to POLITICO.
The Arizona senator fought a bitter nomination battle with Romney four years ago, though Romney has worked to mend the relationship since then. The endorsement was first reported by BuzzFeed.
McCain’s endorsement will [...]

A reminder from The Blogmocracy about the significance of today's date, five years ago:
January 3rd 2007
This is a history lesson. It is the truth and nothing can change it.
The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007, the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives [...]

Here's a U.S. Representative saying what he should be allowed to say, were it not for silly politically correct mandates...
Here's the story on the banning of "Merry Christmas" in the House.
Send off a nice email to Rep. Rigell. He deserves it.

Once again, facts seem to counter the fantastical delusions of liberal progressive anti-Semites everywhere. The Sultan Knish blog (Daniel Greenfield) has a superb retort to the progressive hysteria over the statement made by Newt Gingrich that the "Palestinians" are an "invented people":
[...] The "Palestinian" Arabs on the other hand are an invented people, and [...]

This is the last link I'll publish on the erstwhile candidate. For religious conservatives (and I'm not one of those), it's well worth reading and absorbing.
[...] However, the truth is those were private matters, too, and if Herman Cain had taken this position during this whole debacle, the affair wouldn't have affected his [...]

An excellent analysis from Forbes of our current economic charlie foxtrot:

"Air Raid on Pearl Harbor. This is not a drill."
Seventy years ago today, the United States (officially) entered the largest conflict ever fought on planet Earth. Japanese air and naval forces attacked the United States naval installation at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and almost destroyed the US fleet. By a stroke of luck (or intent) our [...]
