Don’t Ask Don’t Tell and the Pigs in the Senate – E.J. Smith You don’t need to look much beyond the Senate defense bill shenanigans to get why Americans are fed up with politicians in Washington. Since when did the left’s radical social issues, and that’s exactly what they are, become more important than the […]
It’s the Constitution, Stupid
Just when you’re beginning to feel optimistic about the conservative movement’s chances in November, the weekly Gallup poll tracking congressional voting preferences by registered voters comes along and suddenly the Democrats and Republicans are tied at 46. Though this is only one week’s poll, it marks a shift after five consecutive weeks in which the […]
‘Victory’ in Iraq
You and I know that there really isn’t anything to celebrate come Tuesday night when President Obama is expected to claim “victory” in Iraq during his primetime oval office address.

The Repaving of America
How do you like the American Repaving and Redistribution Act so far? Pretty, isn’t it?

McChrystal’s Imminent Fury
