Six questions, more or less, for Senator Barack Obama:
Q: Senator Obama, in your March 18, 2008 speech about race, you praise the “greatness and goodness” and “genius of this nation,” the only place on earth you declare that your “unconventional” success story is “even possible.” And yet, after fifteen years of marriage to you, your wife Michelle freely shares that, due entirely to your presidential campaign, for the first time in her adult life she is proud of "mean" America. Is your appreciation for America also recently acquired? If not, can you explain why the person closest to you in the world is so far apart from you on the issue that drives your candidacy? What does that failure to persuade say about the unifying message you embody that ostensibly compensates for your lack of experience to qualify you for the highest elective office in the world?

This is a Republican site. Fight the Republican party somewhere else. -- NS
In 1992, disaffected populists left the GOP to start the grassroots Reform Party. They're baaaaaaack -- but now, with their enemies lists and conspiracy theories targeting conservatives, they are hijacking the Republican Party that I love.
The Libertarians had their chance and the best they could muster is Ron Paul. So ... let's form our own party. A national conservative party.

Posted at 6:11am on Jan. 20, 2008 How Your Parents Ruined Conservatism
By Terrie
Once upon a time, children, there was a conservative man named Ronald. He had lots of wonderful ideas and he was very good at explaining them. Ronald spent many years telling people about his plans to make America better. When America got into trouble, people finally gave Ronald a chance to prove that his plans could work. Ronald was such a great leader and his plans worked so well that his conservative ideas were accepted by people all over the world.

Posted at 10:28pm on Jan. 17, 2008 The Other Limbaugh Answers the Call from Fred Thompson
By Terrie
Today's new column from David Limbaugh, Answering Fred's Call, makes the case that Thompson has answered the call of conservatives, Limbaugh included, who questioned the "fire in his belly" and now it's our turn to answer his call.
Key quotes:
"But as I've stated before, I believe Fred Thompson is a reliable, consistent conservative. There are others in the field I could support, but not without some reservations. The more I learn about Fred and observe him in action, the more convinced I become that he's the right choice."

This morning Fred Thompson was interviewed by Lester Holt of the Today show, who asked him about the false rumor of his withdrawal from the race. The video link and summary are posted at News Busters (see http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2008/01/06/fred-after-fals...).
Vintage Fred. :)

Posted at 10:09pm on Dec. 31, 2007 Why Rush Limbaugh Should Endorse Fred Thompson Now (and Break His Own 11th Commandment)
By Terrie
Rush Limbaugh is, arguably, the most influential conservative Republican of the post-Reagan/post-Buckley era – someone whose support is essential to any GOP presidential nominee and the next GOP president. If you doubt his impact, check Mike Huckabee's poll numbers since Rush responded over the airwaves two weeks ago to ill-considered insults hurled at him by the Huckabee campaign.
Since his national emergence in 1988, Rush has pledged never to endorse any Republican candidate during the presidential primaries. In 2007, he seemed to come close to breaking his own 11th commandment twice. First, he identified Fred Thompson as the only conservative participant in the CNN/YouTube GOP debate and defended Thompson against charges of laziness. Then Rush commended Mitt Romney's speech on faith, although he also criticized Romney's less-than-conservative record and his Iowa debate comment about not losing any sleep over the tax burden on upper income Americans.
