Dan Flynn over at his blog Flynn Files had a great post on how he had to toss his TV to gain some normalcy in his life. It’s my hope (and it looks this way) that the internet can replace the 5 second sound-bite shows like Hardball for something with a little more depth.  Dan Flynn, in his next post…

During the campaign Deval Patrick stressed that in the area of public safety he supported: “Personal safety and the security of one’s property are indispensable elements of an intact community.”  A very noble yet basic goal.  If this isn’t the basic role of government I don’t know what is.  Furthermore Deval Patrick during the campaign stressed “Community Policing” and…

The folks at BMG have been alerted that Ann Coulter made some insensitive remarks about John Edwards.  In addition she committed the unforgiveable sin of endorsing Romney for President. People familiar with Orwell will understand what is meant by Two Minutes Hate.  John Derbyshire of the National Review commented on this not too long ago: On that latter…

I hope the decreased speculation about a challenge to Kerry isn’t an early indication that the Massachusetts GOP is planning to once again pass up an opportunity…

A lot has been made recently regarding Al Gore and the energy consumption in his home.  Showing how Al Gore has not been practicing what he preaches regarding energy conservation.  In this post I’ll compare George W. Bush’s personal conservation record with Al Gore’s and attempt to debunk the practice of “carbon offsets” and using the purchase of “green energy”…

Oh my god….have you guys been to http://www.airameric… lately?  What the hell is going on with the cheap advertising?  Their home page has ads all over it.  I know they are hurting for cash over there but this has got to be an all time low.  I see an advertisement for DemocraticMatch.Com and another one for https://www.true.com (another site for…

( – promoted by Patrick) It’s that time of the year again and conservatives are gathering in DC for the 34th annual Conservative Political Action Conference.  If one is not familar with CPAC they may take the name of the conference at face value and attribute more importance to it than it is worth.  It appears that the media…

The Phoenix has picked up on the fact that we exist: Can Massachusetts’s newest conservative blog become a political sensation like liberal fave Blue Mass. Group? If shameless imitation has anything to do with it, absolutely! Please give the full blurb a read.  It lists many of the popular misconceptions that must exist in people’s minds and I’ll do my…
