“Bush destroyed the Republican Party, by which I mean he sundered it, broke its constituent pieces apart and set them against each other. He did this on spending, the size of government, war, the ability to prosecute war, immigration and other issues.
Were there other causes? [of the breakup] Yes, of course. But there was an [...]

Posted in 2008 Pesidential Race, Fred Thompson, Reagan Legacy on January 26, 2008 | 10 Comments »
In Part Two we saw how Fred Thompson was the last man that could have pulled the old Reagan Coalition back together without re-building, without major surgery, without re-engineering the Party, without a brokered National Convention. I reported that he is the candidate the Clintons least wanted to face (by their own estimation, not mine). [...]

In the final chapters of “Lewis Carroll’s” (Charles Dodgson’s) 1865 Classic, “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” Alice (in her dream) attends a bizarre trial. The conduct of the proceedings by the “judge” (The King of Hearts), the testimony of the witnesses, and the whimsical mindlessness of the jurors merge in a disjointed hilarity that seems a little too [...]

The older ones know of it because they lived it and are aghast to watch it disappear. The younger ones have it in their genes but it lies dormant, ready to be catalyzed. It is just a matter of an awakening.
From Ron Ewart (rymes with “Stewart”):
Everything that is alive today longs to be free. Free to [...]

Jack Metcalf walked right out of the old West into Washington State Politics. Boots and all. His chiseled good looks could have filled the role of one of the guns on “Wagon Train” or a figure in a Clint Eastwood film. But Jack was no actor. He was the real deal. [...]

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King we’d like to re-publish this article that originally appeared in 2005. It centers on the revisionism that opposes the things that Dr. King stood for and it upholds the true meaning of his life.
If you’re old enough to have known the America of Ronald Reagan and John Wayne you must [...]

From Frances Rice, of the National Black Republican Association:
As we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during the month of his birth, let us also pause to remember the indignities he endured, who caused his suffering – the Democrats – and how.
Character assassination. That’s the tactic used by Democrats in the 1960’s [...]
Posted in 2008 Pesidential Race, Media Bias on January 21, 2008 | 3 Comments »
The willful manipulation of the election process by media is the first reason to oppose campaign finance laws. Those laws always exempt news media and, if we want to continue to have free speech protected by the First Amendment, they should exempt media. But that gives an immense advantage to the working press to contol access [...]

Martin Niemoller said of failing to oppose the Nazi regime: “First they came for the Jews. I was silent. I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists. I was silent. I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists. I was silent. I was not a trade unionist. Then [...]

I’m off to the March for Life in Washington, DC . I’m going with my friend Debbie who is going to give her testimony on the steps of the Supreme Court. I’m so honored to be going with her.
There’ll be coverage of the March on EWTN. CSPAN usually covers the March as well.

If you think Ron Paul blames America for 9/11, or that he is an “isolationist”, or if you wonder why he’s always bringing up monetary policy when he’s being asked about foreign policy, then you need to watch this video:
Ron Paul’s Foreign Policy Simplified
I promise, it’s worth your time.

From Ron Ewart:
How is it that a country whose freedom and liberty are based on the foundation of a Constitution that contains 10 basic individual rights, a gift from our creator, be so divided? How is it that a country that has shown the rest of the world how successful freedom can be, be going [...]

Bruce Ramsey , one of the members of the editorial board of the Seattle Times, has been kind enough to respond, today, to an article I wrote, critical of an editorial he wrote, back in May of last year. (You can read his comment here.)
Mr. Ramsey and I disagree over what may seem to some [...]

In Part 1 (Part 1 is availble →HERE←), Phil looked at major issues at the core of the Republican Party’s decline and deepening defeat in Washington State, noted that local “Conservative” talk radio chose not to cover those issues, even though the grassroots are deeply concerned about them, and even though the hosts were, repeatedly, given the opportunity [...]

This article was originally published in May, 2007, but since the Seattle Times author has just responded to it, I’ve changed the time stamp to bring it to our readers’ current attention.
“…Certainly the concept of “rights” implies an inconvenient higher obligation, by the ruling power, to respect its own population, whether that means property owners, unborn children [...]

The Huffington Post (colloquially known as the “Ton of Huffing Post”) insulted American intelligence last Friday by publishing a pretzel-logic rant by one Erica Jong, titled “Who’s Tired Of Pink?”.
Fortunately, Ms. Jong speaks only for the few sociopathic women who wouldn’t know what to do with a good man if he fell out of [...]

This may have been our best overview of the GOP Nomination race - from last March:
We had an internal Reagan Wing meeting recently where a novel idea was expressed about nationally syndicated talk radio host Michael Medved. “He doesn’t know much about politics,” was the comment. It was meant, I think kindly, to explain [...]

They gravitate to the pragmatic and become the pawns of the most effective and organized of the two other groups. To date, that has been the left.
