Goodbye to One Man, One Vote — Selwyn Duke
By Selwyn Duke If you thought that “one man, one vote” reflected the full flowering of representative democracy, think again. In the village of Port Chester, N.Y., just a few towns north of my locality in Westchester County, there is a new system. It’s “one man, six votes” — brought to us courtesy of the U.S. Department of [...]
When Elections Matter More — Steve Farrell
By Steve Farrell The NewsMax Years, 2 August 1999 One thing you have to admire about Pat Buchanan, wherever he is, so are the fireworks. This was especially true of his 1992 Republican Convention concession speech which was so filled with flint and fire that Pat almost burned the Republican Party down and left it for dead. He [...]
The Brits Vote for No Government — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba I doubt that many Americans paid any attention to the elections held in Great Britain on Thursday. A great many Brits apparently did not either because thousands showed up too late to cast their vote. Those that did vote ended up not giving either the Tories, the UK equivalent of our conservatives, or Labour, the UK [...]
Hope, Change, and Lies! — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba The noted political commentator, David Broder, once wrote that “Anybody who wants the presidency so much that he’ll spend two years organizing and campaigning for it is not to be trusted with the office.” That may at first glance seem cynical, but there is also a lot of truth in it. The modern presidency, from the days [...]
Obama, Clinton Money Man Guilty of Major Fraud Scheme
Liberty Alerts, Corruption Chronicles The shady Iranian fundraiser who for years donated lucrative sums to top Democrats—including the president, vice president and secretary of state—has pleaded guilty to a major bank-fraud scheme that could land him in jail for nearly two decades. Disgraced Democratic money man Hassan Nemazee [...]
The Most Powerful Office is Not the President — Phyllis Schlafly
by Phyllis Schlafly Do you know that the most powerful office in the United States is not the President? Indeed, the most powerful man in the world is the U.S. President, but the presidency is not the most powerful office. Another office is more powerful because it chooses whose names will appear on the ballot for elective office and what [...]
Tea Party Progressivism — Steve Farrell
by Steve Farrell The Tea Party movement claims to be for the Constitution, but I'm not convinced they have not already been subverted by the same radical socialist progressives they say they oppose. Case in point: This morning we learn that the Tea Party movement has hired the American Civil Rights Union to push for a ballot recall of [...]
Alan Simpson Continues Where Specter Left Off — Chris Adamo
By Christopher G. Adamo Former Education Secretary William Bennett is chiding those who are advancing the notion of forming a “third party.” And he is absolutely right for doing so. Such a rift within the conservative movement at this critical moment would do more to propel the liberal Democrat agenda to uncontested political dominance [...]
This is War — Phil Brennan
Perspectives With Phil Brennan Informed Views from Outside the Beltway If current speculation is on target, there is going to be a wholesale slaughter in the congressional elections in November, with angry voters across the nation venting their anger at incumbents they believe have betrayed them by supporting the Obama health care scam [...]
Quo Vadis, Tea Party? — Phil Brennan
Perspectives With Phil Brennan Informed Views from Outside the Beltway It was a dismal time for the Republican party. We had just been crushed by the decisive victory Lyndon Baines Johnson scored over Barry Goldwater in 1964, facing an 89th Congress where Democrats outnumbered Republicans in the Senate by 68 to 32, and in the House [...]
Angry voters track RINOs and Incumbents — Henry Lamb
by Henry Lamb Barack Obama told reporters that he rode the same wave of public anger into office that brought Scott Brown into Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat. Not quite. The wave of public anger that elected Scott Brown is focused on Barack Obama and the Congressional Democrats who are pushing his policies. The public anger is more than [...]
Preventing “Moderates” From Hijacking The Massachusetts Election — Adamo
By Christopher G. Adamo Scott Brown’s stunning victory in Massachusetts has predictably generated comparisons of the current political landscape to 1994, when Republicans swept the mid-term elections, propelling them to majority status in both houses of Congress. From local and state level offices all the way to Washington, Democrats [...]
Dem Donor Gets $25 Million No-Bid Govt. Contract
Liberty Alerts, Judicial Watch Although President Obama has repeatedly vowed to end the unscrupulous practice of awarding no-bid government contracts to politically-connected firms, his administration has just given a multi million-dollar sweetheart deal to a Democratic donor without considering competitive bids. The $25 million [...]
Time to Knuckle Down — Phil Brennan
Perspectives With Phil Brennan Informed Views from Outside the Beltway Feeling giddy now that the invincible Barack has been proven vincible? That s fine, but it's time to knuckle down and resume the fight against the cabal now using the White House under Barack Obama as the command past in the war to impose Marxism on the United [...]
Educating Sarah — Diane Alden
Diane Alden, On the Blog Over America Responding to a CNN story about Sarah Palin's promise to campaign for John McCain in March, The Moral Liberal Senior Editor, Diane Alden, responded on Facebook: There was a movie years ago ... Educating Rita ... another the 'Americanization of Emily' ... I think what happened to Palin is she is getting [...]
The Quayled Lady — Why You Should Forget Sarah Palin — Selwyn Duke
By Selwyn Duke Really, there’s precious little fairness in the world. People tend to be slaves to emotion, and prejudices often reign supreme even (in fact, especially) in those who rail against prejudice. This is why we’ll see millions of Americans reflexively dismiss a politician simply because of the letter following his name; it is [...]
Saying No to Emperor Obama — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba Yes, it's true. The emperor has no clothes. Even in a State where you cannot swing a dead cat without hitting a dozen Democrats, the voters said No. We don't want your odious Medicare ‘reform’. We don't want to be forced to buy insurance. We don't want a bill that exists only because every sweetheart [...]
A Vote Heard Round the World
Liberty Alerts, Liberty Counsel Boston, MA – “The people of Massachusetts fired a shot heard ‘round the world,” said Mathew Staver, Founder of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law. Staver continued, “We are witnessing a new revolution in America. It is a revolution of ideas and values. President Barack Obama [...]
Democrat Implosion Continues — Southers Quits
The Moral Liberal with Steve Farrell This morning offers two more signs that the Obama Administration's socialist assault on America is imploding: one, the shocking election of conservative Republican Scott Brown to the U.S. Senate in the liberal Democrat stronghold of Massachusetts -- where the folks seem to be saying, 'We may be liberals, but [...]
Obama Suffers Devastating Loss in Massachusetts Senate Upset
Liberty Alerts, NewsMax.com, David A. Patten In one of the most shocking turnabouts in modern political history, GOP underdog Scott Brown has single-handedly captured the so-called "Kennedy seat" in Massachusetts, wiped out the Democratic supermajority in Congress, and pushed the president's Obamacare agenda to the very brink of a stunning [...]
Universal Voter Registration, Next Democrat Scheme?
Liberty Alerts, WorldNetDaily, Chelsea Schilling A political correspondent is making waves with his stern warning that Democrats are scheming to manipulate the electoral process this election year by implementing a federal mandate to involuntarily register millions of people to vote – making the system ripe for unprecedented fraud and [...]
Foreign Govts Give Clinton Millions
Liberty Alerts, Judicial Watch While Hillary Clinton completed her first year as U.S. Secretary of State, her husband’s world-renowned foundation received tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Norway and Oman. The William J. Clinton Foundation has for years raked in hefty sums from [...]
Premature Obituaries — Schlafly
by Phyllis Schlafly The media and the leftwing commentators have been enjoying themselves ever since Barack Obama was elected President by writing articles gleefully announcing that the Republican Party is dead. The elections last month prove that those obituaries, in the famous words of Mark Twain, were premature. (more...)
Palin, Conservatism, And The Disconnected GOP — Adamo
by Christopher G. Adamo For nearly two decades now, and particularly in the wake of the 2000 presidential election debacle, Democrats have been pursuing a diabolically simple political strategy. In short, they moved hard-left, knowing how reflexively the “mainstream” Republican response would be to follow them. But of course the GOP would [...]
Brennan: First Things First
SHE'S THE WOMAN NEXT DOOR By Phil Brennan When it comes to writing about Sarah Palin the media seems compelled to focus on 2012 and her prospects of being the Republican presidential candidate then despite the fact that it is a couple of years too far. It's something like putting her into a box that's not to be opened for another two and a half [...]
