Last week news broke that Jonathan Krohn gave up conservatism at the ripe old age of 17. If you don’t know Krohn, he took the political world by storm in 2008, when at the age of 13 he addressed the CPAC conference talking about conservatism. The right jumped all over him and made him their […]
It came out this week that Mark Sanford used a government airplane to go get a haircut, hence making the cost well over $1,000. When I first heard that I kept thinking about the John Edwards haircut fiasco. The right went after him viciously for this, calling him a hypocrite for spending $300 on a […]
Following the shooting at the Holocaust Museum this week the right has been in defense mode. They are trying everything to pain James Von Brunn as some lefty or just a plain old loon. The problem with that is he isn’t. Just like in lefty liberal land there are extremes of right wing/neo-con land. James […]
Patrick Ruffini writing at The Next Right: It could have been like any other of the hundreds of pieces I had seen in the last few months touting Joe’s latest exploits. Joe the Plumber — a one or two day campaign gimmick — has become a poster boy for conservatism. To say that the McCain […]

James Pethokoukis is scared that Daschle means the end of conservatism: The GOP strategist had been joking about the upcoming presidential election and giving his humorous assessments of the candidates. Then he suddenly cut out the schtick and got scary serious. “Let me tell you something, if Democrats take the White House and pass a […]
That is the words from a former speechwriter for Reagan and Nixon, who has now endorsed Obama. Again, the Rove/Bush/Malkin/O’Reilly form of conservatism is just a hijacking of the name, and they are all going to be repudiated tomorrow.
That’s what the McCain campaign wants us to believe, but here is a reality check. With 2 days to go, the race is still opening more for Obama. We just need to get everyone out to vote and then we can have a total blowout, which will serve as a denunciation of conservatism overall. Make […]
The Army and Air Force are at odds, so the Army goes out and starts up it’s own air unit. What next – will we see one branch of our military go to war with the other? I guess this can be chalked up as more of that financial conservatism by the GOP.
