» The GOP, a Revolutionary Party Once Again

the problem is not RINO's or Liberal Republicans-- rather it is the conservative worldview of the Republican party itself. Conservatism is naturally focused on conserving and preserving, it fights in defense of tradition and the way things are. The problem is that the situation in America has degraded too far and too quickly for the status quo to be worth defending. Instead the status quo being conserved is one that has already been crafted by generations of a liberal culture war against America. To actually make a difference, the Republican party needs to leave behind the armchairs of the status quo and become a revolutionary party once again.

» Our Next Step for Health Care

The House of Representatives passed HR 3962 late on a Saturday night. The Senate will pass a version by the end of this year and this legislation will become law even though it is unconstitutional.

What can we do since the voice of the people is no longer relevant in Washington, DC? Let’s look at our North Carolina state Constitution for a solution

» American Companies Abandon Ship

“Washington is doing everything in their manpower, capability, to destroy U.S. manufacturing ... Cap and trade, medical reform, labor rules.”

Companies will create jobs in India and China, “places where people want the products and where the governments welcome you to actually do something,”

The Democrats' plans are succeeding. They want to eradicate private industry and private employment. As for proof, consider their serial attacks on doctors, the health care industry, the coal companies, the pharmaceutical companies, the oil companies, the refiners, you name it.

» HuffPo Ponders Separate NY Times Bestsellers List for 'Conservative Blockbusters'

not for political non-fiction, but conservative non-fiction.

the Huffington Post novel solution of "if you can't beat them, put them on their own list," seems to be a sign the left has given up on its own ability to sell hardcover non-fiction.

Well yeah, cause liberals dont HAVE enough non-fiction to write a book.

» The Myth of the Moderate Democrat

Don’t assume that the 38 Democrats who voted against Nancy Pelosi’s extremist version of health care reform wouldn’t have supported it if their votes had been needed. The days before the final passage on Saturday were not filled with stirring appeals to get Democrats to back the bill so much as an auction to decide whom to let off the hook.
...
If any Democratic congressman is naive enough to believe that a debacle in 2010 will not follow the forecasts of 2009 as surely as the deluge of 1994 followed the precursor of 1993, he doesn’t deserve to be in Congress. And he won’t be.

» Tea Parties: Misunderstood and Vastly Underrated

One table under a canopy was reserved for petition-signing. There were only two. One was a state sovereignty petition and the other was a gun rights petition. A return to the Constitution, as written, seemed to be the overriding demand of the Tea Partiers.

Last Tuesday, I linked to MudvilleGazette's post about CNN twisting the words of a Ft.Hood soldier.

Let's do it again. We cannot allow them to get away with it ... not again ... not this time.

This is why we have separate sandboxes for academics. People who study things like history - where precision is still at least gestured toward - play in one sandbox. Then we put theater and music experts like Landesman in a different sandbox, where there are no sharp facts for them to swallow or cut themselves with. There they can spin metaphorical tapestries of fancy and pass them off as profundity, and we pat their heads and assure them that they're bright and shiny.

The pursuit of the arts, of course, is irreplaceable in and indispensable to a well-cultivated society. But its practitioners should avoid political activism, lest they end up sounding like moronic protofascist bootlickers. And just to be clear, it's the "moronic" part that's particularly grating
