Tired. That is my overriding sensation as I write this. How to bang one’s first impressions of hell out on a keyboard? Let us begin a new day, in a new world, with a first principle of sorts – in this case, a negative principle. Here is a short list of words or turns of… Continuă lectura A Few Things I Never Want to Hear Again

Where We Go From Here
I have never been so unhappy to be right. I’ve long said that Barack Obama would win re-election, and two weeks ago I stated as much in print. In making this prediction, I was almost alone among traditionalist pundits, with some, such as Dick Morris (Mr. Batting Zero), actually forecasting a Mitt Romney landslide. And,… Continuă lectura Where We Go From Here
The Death of Ordinary Decency
This has been a mean-spirited campaign, and the meanest, most destructive people won. So be it. In the last two Democratic administrations we have seen a sleazier, angrier and more selfish part of America rising up more and more in our political class. The Founders told us that ultimately our elected politicians are a mirror… Continuă lectura The Death of Ordinary Decency
Morning Bell: Now Is a Time for Commitment
Dear friends, I write to tell you to take heart. Yes, conservatives are disappointed that a President who recklessly spent trillions, expanded government and put many of our values and institutions at risk has won a second term. But many of us have been here before. In Washington, there are no permanent victories or permanent… Continuă lectura Morning Bell: Now Is a Time for Commitment
The Big Picture
While countless pundits slice and dice the election, some core truths remain the underpinnings of the apparent outcome. First, as Pat Caddell so rightly and passionately stated, the mainstream media has become an enemy of the people. „Journalists” in America have sunk to such a new low they rarely even bother to pretend to be… Continuă lectura The Big Picture
The Tea Party Got It Right, Mitt Got It Wrong
In this election the Republican Party ran two wholly inoffensive blue state Republicans on a platform of jobs at a time when the economy was everyone’s chief concern and the incumbent had absolutely failed to fix the economy. And they lost. The Monday – or Wednesday – morning quarterbacks will have a fine time debating… Continuă lectura The Tea Party Got It Right, Mitt Got It Wrong

Why I voted Yes on the marriage amendment in MN
posted at 8:41 am on November 6, 2012 by Ed Morrissey The ballot in my state has two somewhat controversial referendums, both of which probably have more drama than any of the candidate races – including, until just recently, the presidential election. One measure should pass rather easily, as the voter-ID requirement has maintained its… Continuă lectura Why I voted Yes on the marriage amendment in MN
A Warning to Moral Conservatives
If Rush Limbaugh, Karl Rove, Dick Morris, Michael Barone and others are right and Mitt Romney is our next president, we moral conservatives cannot take our foot off the gas. We cannot let up in our advocacy for life and family. We cannot relax or shift into neutral as if some great victory has already… Continuă lectura A Warning to Moral Conservatives
Voting Obamacare: Health Care Law to Drive Doctors to Retirement
Oh no, no way. Nine out of 10 physicians right now recommended that their family not become physicians. It used to be families would all be in medicine; not anymore. Schoeling, who graduated in 1986 from the well-regarded University of Kansas School of Medicine, said the effects of Obamacare, if it were to be fully… Continuă lectura Voting Obamacare: Health Care Law to Drive Doctors to Retirement
