Conservatives can’t win playing prevent defense
If ever there were something I could be jealous that I didn’t think of first, this could be it. The thesis that Conservatives are good at complaining about Liberal policies while even fewer of them can actually articulate conservatism, has … Continue reading
McCain protests like a Liberal
It’s offensive when politicians try to convince us of something that they’re not. I once had this experience with a Republican state senator in California when, as a newspaper reporter, I pinned him down on his votes to raise taxes via something called the Vehicle License Fee.

Keep more of your money… a tax protest worth starting
The protest angle in this is it seriously slows the amount of income taxes being collected by the government until that time when taxes are due (typically April 15th, but with legal extensions, this can be postponed).

Conservative thought expands through social media
The popularity of social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook have given voices to those who previously had no voice, or at the very least were ignored as the lone voice crying in the wilderness. Moreover, social media seems to be the one bastion of media left where conservative thought and ideals can flourish.
