The truth is that several such saboteurs as the infamous Underwear Bomber have been foiled only by their own incompetence and by the vigilance of private citizens—not by this contradictory system’s “efficiency”. [...]

Personally I will ignore Reagan's silly commandment because it is just that; silly. Reagan was not infallible. [...] Allen West versus Mitt Romney. [...] "I like to fire people." "I'm not worried about the poor." As someone who was pro-Romney for months and months, and who believes we need to stop the Obama statist express, I am getting deeply annoyed. [...] Is your elected official a politician or a statesman? It is pretty easy to find out. See how he or she measures up below with these top ten contrasts. [...] Today’s two-party political system is as far removed from the Founding Father’s beliefs in meaningful governance as polar bears are from potato pancakes. [...] Some Christians are buying into the Mayan calendar prediction that 2012 will be the end of the world. Devious politicians may use the hysteria to provoke and stoke fears of a nuclear World War III in order to establish a one world government. [...] Those who harbor misgivings about the nation's predicament, which is the result of leftist policies, do so from two completely different philosophical perspectives, with two radically different understandings of the fundamental causes of the predicament and two mutually exclusive recipes for redressing them. No, I am not talking about the left-right divide in America, but instead a [...] The general gestalt sense in paleo and even mainstream circles has been that TAC is trying hard to appeal to establishment critics of conservatism, left, right and center. It is no longer discernibly paleoconservative and employs non-conservatives. [...] Ayn Rand made a couple of fair points, but failed to grasp the deep longing most people have to live a noble life. They do not wish to live just for themselves. [...] Romney and Gingrich are both fatally afflicted with challenges that are simply too easy for the President to exploit. With most of the nation stuck in neutral, the Republicans had better come up with something compelling beyond "the rich help create jobs" — or they are doomed. [...] What do establishment Republicans and liberal Democrats have in common? They’ve long labored under a shared misconception: conservative candidates are unelectable. [...] So if you complain about a do-nothing Congress, I ask, what is it exactly that you want them to "do," whom do you think they'll "do" it to, and what do you think will be done to you? [...] “Electability” turns out to have nothing to do with values, ideology, record of performance, credibility, fidelity, or dedication: nothing to do, that is, with actual ability to fill high office. [...] I come from Generation X, and we are in the same boat financially as the Occupiers, if not worse off since we now have families and mortgages. But the answer is not more big government. The naive young Occupiers should not indebt future generations as was done to our generations. [...] Take note of how many children today are supported by government. Since government pays for their pre-natal care, birth, medical insurance, food, etc., why wouldn't government be considered their mother? [...] People think we can change human nature. We saw this with the recent revolutions in the Middle East, as well as the various protests against real or imagined ogres in Western financial sectors. But can we? [...] Liberals realize that "progressive" sounds good to people, much better than "liberal." [...] Conservative Christians are not conspiring to overthrow the Constitution and to replace it with rule by any particular religious denomination, and they do not did not believe that Americans should swear a loyalty oath to Jesus. [...] Excitement is likely to return emerging from outside the old two party paradigm. There are a number of transformative developments simmering below the media’s radar. Any one of these, if it pops, could upend the stale status quo. [...] About a misuse of the media in the service of the challenged “Political Class”. [...] The high-dollar donations keep rolling in to the Obama campaign from the highest of income earners. And this raises an important question for rich folks: if President Obama successfully breaks the backs of the working middle class, is that really good for you? [...] About a week ago, Katie Kieffer dared to ask a few questions of the sort I have in mind on Townhall.com, tentatively advancing the proposition that Ron Paul is not entirely insane. Directly opposing her signature photo on the Townhall homepage was the equally lovely visage of Star Parker—whose column charged Paul supporters with being [...] Although nationally we currently have a fluctuating total of approximately ten GOP candidates, in the Virginia primary the ballot will resemble the inventory of a Soviet supermarket with only Mitt Romney and Ron Paul to choose from. [...] It is extremely telling that Romney’s strategy has been to prevail by ascending above a divided field of conservatives. [...] |
