I was fortunate enough to start off my weekend in Washington D.C. with The Heritage Foundation. 1200 members packed into the Washington Marriott Wardman Park for the 2010 President’s Club Meeting, which involved a series of talks and information sessions. The Heritage Foundation is the strongest conservative public policy think tank in the world, and [...]
I’m stealing these videos from Allahpundit, but it’s too good not to post here. Here’s a link to the original Funny or Die video, which is the best representation since the Roman Polanski petition of how out-of-touch the rich and famous of La-La Land are with normal Americans. You need to watch the original to [...]
Once again, it’s that time of the year–the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute has released their 2010 Great American Conservative Women calendar. You can buy one at the website, but Fox News has all the pictures up at their website in a nifty slideshow. Featured ladies include Michelle Malkin, SE Cupp, Ann Coulter, Rep. Michele [...]
I knew from her Twitter post last night that today’s Daily Beast column was going to be a doozy. No real surprises here, just Ms. McCain making an argument that Republican values are compatible with gay rights values. Perhaps there’s an argument to be made here, but unfortunately, she never makes it. Instead, we get [...]
From NRO’s Andrew McCarthy, the best juxtaposition of the two opposing worldviews through the perspective of the recent pirate episode: “Civilized” is a much-misunderstood word, thanks to the “rule of law” crowd that is making our planet an increasingly dangerous place. Civilization is not an evolution of mankind but the imposition of human good on [...]
Perhaps this sort of thing only happens in college, but the conflation of lots of different ideas coming from all sorts of influences on and off campus have inspired this post. The heightened profile of the Youth for Western Civilization at Vandy, a self-proclaimed right-wing group that aims to counter its perception of raging leftism [...]
Uh-oh. I honestly meant it in the metaphorical sense; I wonder if she should be trying to take on the GOP establishment so readily. I don’t want to be misunderstood and told to “kiss her fat ass.” Seriously, though, this newfound love for Meghan McCain as a voice for the Republican Party is not endearing [...]
Okay, okay, I said no more on Rush and “I hope he fails,” but Jeff G.’s guest post at Hot Air sums up what I said yesterday in a clearer and more articulate way. Read the whole thing, but here’s a great nugget: The fact of the matter is, for all of Limbaugh’s provocation, his statement, [...]
Like everyone else in the right-wing blogosphere, I’m going to take the last stand on this whole “I hope he fails” business with Rush. Katherine and I have made our positions pretty clear here at Vandy Right. Patterico, Jeff Goldstein, Gabriel Malor and Ace have all had their say on this, and I encourage you to [...]
David Brooks, the New York Times’ idea of a sensible conservative voice, had a great op-ed (by his standards) Monday. It was unpredictably critical of Barack Obama, mainly for his administration’s massive spending. It looked as if Brooks couldn’t believe in the change. Then he rolls out today’s op-ed, prostrating himself before the Almighty Obama by letting [...]
