Conservative Group Rejects RNC Autopsy of 2012 Elections

American Principles in Action released their analysis of the 2012 elections which stands in stark contrast to the RNC’s “autopsy” report that called for a truce strategy on social issues.

Europe, Here We Come!

November 13, 2012 By Brian Myers

Europe, Here We Come!

Two articles discussing the election results came out recently that I found rather interesting. One was written by Janet Daley of The Telegraph, and the other is written by Gerri Willis of Fox Business. They both make comparisons between the U.S. and Europe in light of the election results, and they both conclude we are busy […]

Lesser of Two Bananas

October 5, 2012 By David Shedlock

Lesser of Two Bananas

My local grocer carries two brands of bananas: Chiquita and Dole.  Lately, I have complained to him because one is always over-ripe and rotting, and the other has a very bitter taste, and makes me sick. The owner says I can take one or the other but if I don’t choose one, I have forfeited my […]

An Interview with America’s Party Presidential Candidate, Tom Hoefling

Can’t vote for Mitt Romney? Won’t vote for Barack Obama? Last week I had opportunity to interview Tom Hoefling, the America’s Party candidate for President of the United States. I asked him about several issues and his answers below are complete. On Abortion: “Make no mistake, our Constitution explicitly and imperatively requires equal protection for all […]

Blown to Smithereens: Why We Conservatives Got the Health Care Ruling We Deserved

June 28, 2012 By David Shedlock

Blown to Smithereens: Why We Conservatives Got the Health Care Ruling We Deserved

We screamed and shouted from the roof tops that “we have our rights!” You can’t make us—mandate us to!—buy something.  That is unconstitutional! All the while we empowered that same government to MANDATE that insurance companies carry people with pre-existing conditions. This is like pulling the pin, throwing a hand grenade straight up in the […]

Romney's "Scorched Earth" March Through Florence

January 19, 2012 By Quinn Hooks

Not since General Sherman marched on Florence has the citizens of the fair city been so rudely treated by a person from the North. Romney has burnt the goodwill of the local Republican party like Sherman burned plantations. This past Tuesday while Gingrich entertained a standing room only crowd at the Art Trails Gallery, Romney […]

The Southern Strategy – Part II

January 8, 2012 By Quinn Hooks

After Iowa, the media is focusing on New Hampshire but it seems the candidates are focusing more on South Carolina. New Hampshire is in Romney’s backyard and it looks like he will win the state as expected. Romney in New Hampshire may be compared to a major university playing a smaller university in football. If […]

The Southern Strategy

January 6, 2012 By Quinn Hooks

No Republican candidate for president has won the nomination of the party without winning the South Carolina going back to Ronald Reagan in 1980. With this fact in mind, the candidates attention now turns to South Carolina.  This morning (Friday), Mitt Romney and Governor Haley are at the Peanut warehouse in Conway, SC. Newt Gingrich […]

The Supremacy of Character

January 4, 2012 By Tom Hill

“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” Abraham Lincoln The early rush to the elections of November 2012 features a blizzard of propaganda. The emphasis concentrates upon a short list of criteria. One candidate highlights personality as the winning trait. Another touts reputation as […]

Stephen A. Douglas, Mario Cuomo, and Ron Paul

December 27, 2011 By Quinn Hooks

The Ron Paul organization has been mailing me a lot of material lately including a very nice Christmas card. Paul has a nice web site and he is very articulate in stating his positions. He has done well in the debates and on national media outlets. These factors are reaping benefits for him.  According to the […]

I hope you enjoy the experiment… random items thrown into one post.
