The GOP’s blind spots in seeing its way forward after the 2012 election

Republicans and conservatives — who are not always the same people — are stunned that they lost the election after running a candidate highly competent for the office of president against an incumbent whose policies have led to high unemployment and economic stagnation. And they are realizing that if they can’t win against an opponent …

Why undecideds should vote for Romney

Romney clinched my vote when he chose Paul Ryan as his running mate because that showed he is serious about restoring the United States to fiscal health. Today I’m going to vote with my 96-year-old father, then I’m on stand-by as a volunteer with my county’s Republican organization to take voters to the polls, especially …

Earth Day: “If I wanted America to fail”

H/T Instapundit Thoughts for Earth Day: Oil only kills wildlife when there’s an accident, but wind energy kills birds, bats and insects — including the ones needed to pollinate crops — when the turbines are working as intended. And how do the wind farms kill birds and bats? The air pressure change near the turbines ruptures …

A Conservative Lesbian creates controversy by dancing to Steven Crowder’s rap parody, ‘Mr. America’

I am so grateful to the conservative blogosphere for providing the donations that enabled me to attend CPAC this year. I’ve finally recovered from the sleep deprivation and feel perky enough to start posting again. At the BlogBash and CPAC, in addition to fulfilling my mission of un-demonizing myself, I had a wonderful time catching …

Why the candidate I support is … brokered convention

I’m still wrapping up my personal projects so I can return to blogging, so I’d been planning this post but hadn’t written it. However, Monday evening Erick Erickson announced on his radio show that the candidate he is endorsing as the Republican nominee for president is the Sweet Meteor of Death, or a brokered convention, …

The civility wars and gay conservatives

Yesterday Lisa De Pasquale, GOProud’s interim chair, published a piece worth reading in The Daily Caller calling out the gay Left for its vicious treatment of gay conservatives and their supporters while simultaneously deploring bullying: Dan Savage, the “It Gets Better” project’s co-founder, has been just as vicious toward gay conservatives as schoolyard bullies have …

Stacy McCain explains the problem with Democrats

My only quibble with dear Stacy in his delightful rant is that for any religious or political movement there are real idealists, but the problem is that they are controlled by the swindlers and do nothing about their buying promises of liberty while taking delivery of slavery: The problem is not merely that Democrats are …

David Swindle on how to argue with a progressive

David Swindle is the editor of David Horowitz’s blog, Newsreal, and he recently had some very instructive fun with a progressive who applied to blog for Newsreal. I commented: David, I recommend always starting from axioms. The axioms of fiscal conservativism/classical liberalism are that individuals generate wealth from their own ideas when they can operate …

Attila and Stacy debate feminism on Da TechGuy’s radio show, 10 am, EDT, April 2

A blog war on the subject of feminism broke out a couple of weeks ago between Little Miss Attila and Stacy McCain, of The Other McCain. My contribution in Attila’s comment section was minimalist — “Attila: right. Stacy: wrong.” I think that must be why I’m not linked in Attila’s post tonight thanking her sisters-in-arms–in …

Help stop the Leftist campaign to defeat Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser in next week’s election

I am very grateful to Prof. William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection for making me his “Blog of the Day” today. And I would like to thank him by taking up a cause he is promoting: raising money for advertising to counter the multi-million dollar Leftist advertising campaign against Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser, who …
