THE FIVE STAGES OF A CONSERVATIVE’S GRIEF

In today’s American Spectator I chronicle the five stages of grief endured by a conservative (i.e. yours truly) who has witnessed 61 million voters get fooled … again: Last Tuesday evening I went to bed in denial … I declined to believe that a majority of the voters were stupid enough to re-elect a President [...]

IS IT CHURLISH TO SAY “I TOLD YOU SO”?

I January I wrote a column titled, “The Thelma & Louise Party,” in which I said that a Romney nomination spelled doom. I said that he was Obama’s preferred opponent, and many Dems said so as well: As former DNC Chair Donna Brazile admitted after a recent Republican debate, and Peter Ferrara reiterated on Wednesday, [...]

IS THAT TOAST I SMELL?

I’m no political guru. But, when I see people who have done big time politics for their entire adult lives predicting an Obama loss, I pay attention. Who am I talking about?

ONE LAST CHANCE TO KILL OBAMACARE

In today’s American Spectator I offer a reminder that tomorrow is our last realistic opportunity to get rid of ObamaCare. A recent Rasmussen survey showed that 54% of likely voters favor repeal, the precise percentage who opposed the law when it passed.

A CURE FOR OBAMA DISILLUSIONMENT SYNDROME

In today’s American Spectator, I suggest a way for progressives with buyer’s remorse to reinstate their self-esteem: In 2008, millions of voters developed a malady that Andrew Klavan has diagnosed as ‘electile dysfunction.’ They voted for Barack Obama because their capacity for critical thinking had been rendered flaccid by content-free mottos like ‘hope and change’ [...]

VIDEO: THE DETERMINATORS, THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT OBAMACARE

This film from the Tea Party Patriots highlights the worst elements of Obamacare through the prizm of history, and it’s a scary vision. It exposes the rationing philosophy that informs the law and how it reflects the thought of Friedrich Nietzsche as well the influence of eugenics. It’s long, but well worth watching: [ht The [...]

VIDEO: LUNTZ FOCUS GROUP OF FORMER OBAMA VOTERS SAYS ECONOMY TRUMPS FOREIGN POLICY

Pollster Frank Luntz spoke to another group of former Obama voters after Monday’s final debate, and the results boiled down to this: America cannot have a strong foreign policy without a strong economy—-and they thought Romney beat Obama on the latter issue:

KRAUTHAMMER: ROMNEY WON THIRD DEBATE

Krauthammer declares Romney the winner strategically and tactically, says Romney went big-picture while Obama went shockingly small. Romney seemed Presidential and Obama did not. Krauthammer believes Romney may have won the election tonight:

VIDEO: CROWLEY COMES CLEAN ABOUT THE BENGHAZI ATTACK AND OBAMA’S COVER-UP

Candy Crowley, who interrupted Tuesday night’s presidential debate to validate Obama’s lie about what he said on September 12 concerning the attack on our Benghazi consulate, is now featured in an anti-Obama ad in which she is shown saying: They spent two weeks telling us this was about a tape and that there was this [...]
