It’s come to this. Conservative thought has degenerated to the “Crazy Chicken Lady” school of reform. I kid you not. Meet Nevada’s GOP candidate, Sue Lowden — a/k/a “The Crazy Chicken Lady.” This is at least a few days old by now, but that she’s actually sticking to her guns on this, as though it’s […]

We entered a truly surreal political realm during the presidential election, when it fell to Peggy Noonan to serve as a voice of reason among conservatives. That job has since transferred to Dan Quayle, with Tom Coburn stepping into the role of “Reasonable Republican.” And in the latest development, Virginia — after electing Rob McDonnel […]

You wouldn’t know it from the Heritage Foundation’s 2010 Index of Economic Freedom, but the economic "luck of the Irish" ran out in 2008. Not only did the "Celtic Tiger" —  as the Irish economy had been dubbed — lose its roar, but now it appears to have been neutered, and is likely never to […]

OK. This is truly getting tiresome. I know the media is making an attempt to be "fair and balanced" in writing about the threats of violence against Democratic lawmakers after the passage of health care reform. Plenty of people have already addressed this, but the media’s absurd, desperate reaching to find the equivalent of the […]

There’s only thing slightly less shocking than the arrest of nine members of the Hutaree Christian militia for plotting to plotting to kill law enforcement officers (with IEDs). That’s conservative bloggers coming to their defense. Blue Texan at Firedog lake compiles the responses at the preceding link, but this one in particular jumped out at […]

This is too rich. See, during the campaign, I watched countless videos of McCain-Palin supporters. I compiled snippets of them for two post-election videos, and I collected the videos in an online playlist. (I’ve archived them offline, just in case they disappear and their existence is called into question.) Everywhere that McCain-Palin supporters encounters Obama […]

The big news, since President Obama signed health care reform into law, has been the threats made against Democratic lawmakers. [h/t, Prometheus.] But there is another threat looming, that isn’t directed at Democratic officials, and isn’t getting nearly as much press.

Well, that didn’t take long. First members of Congress were pelted with bigoted slurs and spit upon, by a crowd cheered on by Republican members of Congress, to the point that the Speaker and congressional Democrats walked across the capitol complex flanked by police — their to protect them from the mob. Then came vandalism, […]

This is one of those things you just have to see to believe. Chances are you’ve seen it posted elsewhere, but it bears replaying over and over and over again. Here’s the face of conservatism today, for ya — mocking and screaming at a man with Parkinson’s disease. At an anti health reform rally in […]

If you believe the buzz in Washington, this week could very well be "make or break" for getting
