Alan Keyes Strikes Back

Like a massively less successful version of the Clintons, Alan Keyes just never goes away. The perennial electoral failure–who got 35, 000 votes in this month’s contest, with the help of the Christian Falangist Party–and his America’s Independence Party are now suing President-elect Obama to prove his U.S. citizenship before January 20th. “I and [...]

Anschluss 2008 As McCain-Obama Meet

The Obama team is taking shape and the new rainbow coalition will include maverick Republicans who see the light.  Meanwhile, Senate Republicans have already confirmed the same leadership team that lost earlier this month while the Great White Hope of the GOP is in Alaska writing her book, with a little help from her friends no doubt.  Hillary [...]

Time To Play “Guess Who”

One is a radio talk show host in clear need of emergency psychiatric care (but is still more welcome in the Republican party than an opponent of the war). The other is the former Speaker of the House, and thus erstwhile second-in-line in the US Order of Succession, a man who seldom goes a day [...]

Let Them Eat Quail

It is tempting to feel resentful when you read about world leaders quaffing disgustingly expensive wines and gobbling “fruitwood smoked quail” at the G-20 summit. Oh the hypocrisy, and so on and so forth. But that’s not the conservative spirit. We should rather hope and pray that the globe’s pols get drunk and fat and [...]

Movement Conservatives for a Permanent Democratic Majority

Via Conor Friedersdorf, the latest field demonstration that fools and their money are soon parted a stirring call to arms from Michael Reagan that will no doubt rally the hosts of righteousness against the Marxist Mohammedan menace of Obamataucracy.
Okay, TAC readers, help me out if you would. Obviously the Fairness Doctrine is a horrible idea [...]

Cruisin’ for a Bruisin’

Think of twelve days cruising the Mediterranean next June, visiting Rome, Monte Carlo, and Barcelona.  Think of doing it as part of an outing organized by Newsmax featuring Dick Morris and Ron Kessler as guest speakers explaining how the Republican Party can refresh its message.  The Newsmax team also includes three medical doctors who apparently [...]

Flash Gordon

Until two months ago, Gordon Brown was generally considered a complete failure as a Prime Minister. His government was a wreck. He hung on to his position by a thread. Then came the economic crisis. Brown’s rescue package was deemed by pols and leading bankers to be the best bailout proposal out there–an almost sure [...]

Our Center-Socialist nation

Many on the right repeat the mantra “center-right” nation so often you would think they were parrots.  It’s spin of course, designed to try and reign the expectations of an Obama presidency from the left (which shouldn’t be very high but that’s another topic) and to say basically that “conservatism-is-still-popular-we-just-had-a-lousy-GOP-candidate-and-a-lousy-economy-and the-Obama-campaign-turned-out-its-people.” Bill Kristol wrote this screed [...]

Democracy 2.0

From Slate today,
Though no one in the Obama camp will discuss the specifics, Democratic Web guru Joe Trippi and others believe that the White House Web site will transform into a social network—a kind of Facebook for citizens, a place where people can learn about and work toward passing the president’s agenda. Trippi argues that [...]
