The wave of the future is not the conquest of the world by a single dogmatic creed but the liberation of the diverse energies of free nations and free men.

Scott Walker was a Tea Party favorite. Scott Walker was also a Republican bucking the tidal wave that was the Obama tsunami of union backed and media endorsed candidates. Although Wisconsin had a long history of electing Republican governors, the retiring governor of eight years was a Democrat. Walker ran on Tea Party principles and [...]
Strom Thurmond, Foe of Integration, Dies at 100 And: Robert C. Byrd, a Pillar of the Senate, Dies at 92 Both opposed civil rights initially. Both converted to support civil rights. One was an outspoken member of the Ku Klux Klan. One was not. Wanna guess which was which? Oh, and one died a Democrat, [...]
I have never seen such a muddled mess as what has become of the Tea Party/Libertarian/Republican discussion. Jane Hamsher of FireDogLake.com, and Huffington Post, takes that confusion to new levels. She’s just all beside herself that Tea Partiers aren’t totally enamored with an avowed Libertarian, mainly in her mind because a Neo-Con supported the Libertarian [...]
When Obama won in 2008, he brought a lot of Democrats in with him. That was just the icing for what had been a slow erosion of the Republican pinnacle of the early 21st century. Republicans have rarely wielded a whole lot of power in the Senate and Congress, so being outnumbered probably meant a [...]
“You think you’ve heard these same excuses before? You’re right. In this country there were those who dug in their heels and said, ‘Slow down, it’s too early. Let’s wait. Things aren’t bad enough’ — about slavery. When women wanted to vote, ‘Slow down, there will be a better day to do that — the [...]
Michael Duvall was busted for sleeping with a lobbyist. No big deal. In fact, at least one of his conquests was pretty smoking hot. That would have bought him a pass most likely. However, he didn’t do it in the normal fashion. According to him, he made a mistake. However, I think most people saw [...]
This one’s for Nancy: A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.” [...]
I have bemoaned over the last few years that Nancy Pelosi had one trick, and one trick only. “Bush lied”. Insert anything else you want, it just had to be preceded with “Bush lied”. A tsunami occurs, it’s because Bush lied. Pick anything you want. Eventually it morphed into the “Republican Culture of Corruption“. It [...]
A lot was made of Arlen Specter’s jumping ship and declaring he was a Democrat. His logic was the Republican Party left him. A lot of people, including myself, figured a deal had been struck between Specter and the Democrat leadership, which at this time would be Obama and Reid. Sure enough, both came out [...]
Arlen Specter switched loyalties today. A move that surprised me only in the fact it proves he’s not completely daft. Some people are reading a lot into this: How much more can the Republicans take? Demoralized, shrinking and seemingly lacking an agenda beyond the word “no,” Republicans today saw their ranks further thinned with the [...]
