Term Limits and the Citizen Legislature Scam
by Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Part 8 In April of 1996, the traditionally liberal Democratic Party did something it is, in theory, never supposed to do. It out-conservatived the Republican Party, stood up for the U.S. Constitution, and threw out a radical proposal designed to transform the United States from a republic to a democracy. This [...]
Conservatives Celebrate Defeat of Moderate Bob Bennett – David Pyne
by David T. Pyne Something very historic happened at the Utah State Republican Convention which was held at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City last Saturday (May 8th). Utah's three-term incumbent Senator Robert Bennett was eliminated in the second round of voting by the conservative state delegates. It was the first time in nearly a century that [...]
Conservatism on Defense Will Ultimately Lose — Chris Adamo
By Christopher G. Adamo Seven years ago this month, President George W. Bush made his famed landing on the Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln as it returned from a tour of duty in the Middle East. An event that should have been heralded across the nation as an unparalleled symbol of America’s might and vigor in the War on Terror was then [...]
G.O.P. To Insist On 10th Amendment
Liberty Alerts, NewsMax.com, Sean Lengell Republicans are so determined to stop what they say is abusive and unlawful expansion of the federal government under President Obama that they are willing to abdicate power to the states to do it. Taking its cue from the Bill of Rights, the Republican Study Committee, a group of conservative House [...]
Using Jefferson As A Cloak for Revolution
By Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Part 7 Tyranny will never bind a great and free people by preceding its terrible deed with a confession of ill intent. To believe that is to believe nonsense. In free societies slavery is won by consent; and consent is won with a disarming smile, a sympathetic heart, a list of promises to groups, a series of [...]
Are McCain Republicans Finally Seeing the Light? — Chris Adamo
By Christopher G. Adamo On the day following the abominable March 21 congressional vote to subvert the Constitution and subjugate the American people under the dubious auspices of Obamacare, Senator John McCain (R.-AZ) voiced his displeasure with Democrat jubilation over their victory. Apparently, on this occasion, McCain did not appreciate all [...]
Wearing Politically Correct Handcuffs — T.F. Stern
By T.F. Stern There’s an article by Michael Dykes posted on the Yahoo News site pointing attention to the fact that many Republicans have lost their regard for keeping quiet; often times spewing antagonistic words in public meetings. The story came to light as a heckler from the gallery shouted “Baby Killer” during the proceedings prior [...]
Contract With America: The Betrayal Begins
By Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Part 6 On the steps of the U.S. Capitol on September 27, 1994, more than 300 candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives stood under an unusually warm, sun-filled sky and made history. All of them were there joining hands and rubbing shoulders with one goal in mind: to help launch a new revolution -- the [...]
Pelosi Backwards On Tea Parties and G.O.P. — Chris Adamo
By Christopher G. Adamo Democrats continue to bounce between occasional brief attempts at pandering to grassroots America, and their more innate reversion to unrestrained contempt for the beliefs and sentiments of the heartland. In the process, they reveal a willingness to resort to any concocted lie in hopes of fooling enough of the people, [...]
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 than [...]
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 [...]
Constitutional Consistency — Is It Asking Too Much
Free Enterprise Zone, The Freeman, Steven Horwitz No one ever accused progressives and conservatives of being overly consistent about freedom. After all, we classical liberals frequently say we want the State out of both the bedroom and the boardroom, in contrast to progressives and conservatives who seem only to care about one of the two. [...]
Groveling in the Gutter of the Gulags
By Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Part 4 If ever there was a person suffering under the delusion that there really was a nickel's difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, Newt Gingrich's surfing in Alvin Toffler's Third Wave and his application of the same as the launching pad of 21st century Republicanism should [...]
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 [...]
Gingrich, Toffler, and Gore: A Peculiar Trio
By Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Part 3 The most-heralded achievement and high water mark of Republican leadership since the revival of America's military superiority under Ronald Reagan is, without question, the coming forth of the "Contract With America" during the election of 1994. Its 100-day surge through the House of [...]
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 suffered [...]

Patten A stunning new poll conducted by Newsmax/Zogby reveals that Massachusett's new Republican Sen.-elect Scott Brown could defeat President Barack Obama in a presidential election.

How to Watch the State of the Union Address — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba Here are some suggestions on how to watch the State of the Union speech. The Washington, D.C. lingo for it is “SOTU” because Washington loves acronyms and, of course, it is delivered by the POTUS, President of the United States. It is rumored that his Secret Service code name is “Moron.” The speech doesn’t begin until 9 [...]
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 federal [...]
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 why [...]
Resolved: Remove the Marxist Majority — Henry Lamb
By Henry Lamb The nation’s most important New Year’s resolution is to remove the Marxist majority in Washington. The most important question facing the nation is how to do it. There can be little doubt that the national sentiment opposes the Marxist policies being imposed by the current majority in Washington. Poll after poll, after [...]
All Abuzz About Buzzwords — Steve Farrell
The Moral Liberal with Steve Farrell A senior Senator a few weeks back complained that Tea Party Conservatives were apt to use a particular buzz word ... "socialism." He was angry because his re-electability ratings were dangerously low and, apparently, the buzzword gang, not his voting record, was to blame. (more...)
‘Tis the Week Before Christmas — Henry Lamb
Constitutionally Yours, Henry Lamb ‘Tis the week before Christmas and all through the land, not a freedom is safe from Obama’s hand. Bankers, bewildered, before him now bow, while auto-makers, thankful, praise his cash cow. With energy and health care nearing control, his grasp on the nation is as he foretold. The people are stirred by his [...]
A Little Deja Vu — Brennan
by Phil Brennan In their best let's-you-and-them-fight mode, the bought-and-sold Obama worshipping mainstream media is advising the Republican Party to surrender to its tiny left-leaning wing they call the moderates and allow them to set the GOP's agenda. (more...)
Schlafly: Good News About the 2009 Election
by Phyllis Schlafly Ever since Barack Obama's election, the mainstream media and liberal commentators have been gleefully proclaiming the death of the Republican Party and predicting it could be revived only with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation from "moderates" and RINOs (Republicans In Name Only). The November 3 elections proved that those [...]
Adamo: Lessons Learned From New York District 23
by Christopher G. Adamo Is it possible for Republicans to make significant political headway in the 2010 mid-term elections, and thereby put the brakes on the Obama/Reid/Pelosi program of dismantling the greatness of America? Even a cursory examination of last week’s off-year elections in Virginia and New Jersey render a resounding “yes.” [...]
Founder’s-styled election reform, by Steve Farrell
When it comes to limited government as defined by the Founding Fathers, the Latter-day Center for Moral Liberalism sides with the inspired electoral college process created in the Constitutional Convention of 1787, one which rather than making for a pure democracy (or something like unto it) gave us representative government - but more than that: [...]
