Hope Amid the Ruins by The Editors on National Review Online. But the most urgent task for conservatives is not to second-guess what decisions should have been made in 2003, 2005, or 2008. It is to devise an agenda — on health care, on taxes, on transportation, on energy — that Americans in the middle [...]

Sympathies for Barack Obama’s Family
November 3rd, 2008 · No Comments
In what looks like a very historic day for Barack Obama tomorrow his grandmother passed away today. Although I will not cast my vote for Barack Obama I hope he and his family will somehow be comforted through this loss. There are many things more important than politics. Madelyn Dunham sounded like an amazing person.

Latest from Hugh Hewitt. Will McCain or Obama more ably keep the terrorist threat from our shores for the next four years?

Obama Calls It “Selfishness” That People Don’t Want Taxes Raised
October 31st, 2008 · 3 Comments
Political Punch. “John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic,” Obama continued. “You know I don’t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness.” So we’ve have Biden call people who don’t want higher taxes “unpatriotic” and now Obama calls us “selfish”. I think Biden should give more [...]

Barack Obama – He May Not Be A Socialist But He Sure Sounds Like One
October 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Shame, Cubed by Bill Whittle on National Review Online. Speaking on a call-in radio show in 2001, you can hear Senator Obama say things that should profoundly shock any American — or at least those who have not taken the time to dig deeply enough into this man’s beliefs and affiliations.

October 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment
HT from National Review. McCain Gets My Vote by Charles Krauthammer on National Review Online. The case for McCain is straightforward.

Thomas Sowell: Record vs. Rhetoric

Thomas Sowell: Record vs. Rhetoric. Sarah Palin has had executive experience– and the White House is the executive branch of government.

Obama’s Definition of Tax Cuts
October 13th, 2008 · No Comments
For Obama, Govt. Handouts = “Tax Cuts”. Rather, Barack has simply redefined the meaning of “tax cut.” He’s counting refundable “tax credits” — that is, government handouts — as “tax cuts,” and planning to subsidize them by sharp income tax increases on “the wealthy.” Bottom line is that Barack Obama wants to give tax credits [...]
