As if we didn’t have enough work to do leading up to 2008, we now have to contend with sabotage from parts of the “religious right”.
“Everyone knows he’s conservative and has come out strongly for the things that the pro-family movement stands for,” Dobson said of Thompson. “[But] I don’t think he’s a Christian; at [...]

Wretchard at The Belmont Club asks whether, in the case of the fifteen Royal Navy sailors kidnapped last week by Iran, the left will be as insistent upon Iran’s meticulous observance of the Geneva Conventions as they have been regarding the enemy combatants (legal and illegal ones alike) legitimately captured by the U.S..

For two reasons: the GOP will need our help over the next year and a half, and if it is [...]

I thought this was an appropriate re-print on the anniversay of the start of the war in Iraq.
I used to know a man whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War Two. They owned a number of large industries and estates. I asked him how many German people were true Nazis, and the answer [...]

The new Time Magazine has an interesting (if packed with conventional wisdom) on How the Right Went Wrong.
Reading this, I get the sense that what will be needed going in to 2008 is a “reboot” of the GOP’s conservatism. That is, the party needs to stand together in repudiating the mistakes of the past several [...]

Fred Thompson vs. Gandhi
March 15th, 2007 · No Comments
Speaking of Fred Thompson…which of the current crop of candidates would have the nerve to take on not just the wackos of Code Pink, but their anti-war hero at the same time?
Unlike Fred, I’ll give the Code Pinkies the benefit of the doubt — I’m not entirely convinced that they want to throw in the towel [...]

More Stupid Government Tricks
March 14th, 2007 · No Comments
The implosion in sub-prime mortgages and lenders is yet another example of why government should stay the heck out of the way and let the free market work. Mike “Mish” Shedlock has some damning arguments why the federal government shouldn’t bail out 2.2 million sub-prime borrowers (and their lenders) under a proposal working its way [...]

It looks like actor and former senator Fred Thompson is looking at a run:
WALLACE: There’s been a lot of buzz, as we said, in Republican circles that there’s no true conservative in the GOP presidential field. Now some top Republicans, including your friend former Tennessee senator Howard Baker, are putting out trial balloons about you [...]

Democrats go after Fox News
March 8th, 2007 · No Comments
Now the Democrats are threatening to refuse to partner with Fox News for debates in the Presidential Primary because they claim its a mouthpiece of the Republican Party. What would happen if the Republicans refused to appear on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, or MSNBC???
