I have used this quote before, but it bares repeating: However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for […]
The Democrats are starting to seize on the Republican’s cheering against America: Many Democrats saw the outbursts following the IOC decision – the merry Tweets, videos of cheering conservatives and chest-thumping by party leaders like Newt Gingrich — as part of larger pattern that includes the flirtation of right-wing Texans like Gov. Rick Perry with […]
For months David Frum has been outspoken when it comes to denouncing the craziness on the right. Here is part of an article in today’s L.A. Times: They are “wild accusations and the paranoid delusions coming from the fever swamps,” said David Frum, a conservative author and speechwriter for President George W. Bush who is […]

John Cornyn, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, told […]
TBogg makes a very interesting and accurate point that Nancy Pelosi has become the next Lynndie England: Due to “process” reporting we have learned that the Torture Years were not the responsibility of the Administration who demanded them, the legal counsel who found legal justification for them, the medical personnel who stood by and watched, […]
Ok this is getting good. Yesterday Newt Gingrich had the audacity to go against core conservative values and state that he wants the president to succeed and “you’re irrational if you don’t want him to”: Now we are on today, and Limbaugh isn’t happy about that: “I’m frankly getting tired of talking about Newt.
