Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

When we show up, we win.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Books are my comfort food!

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

    Can I call the Ambassador ‘Ryan Whatacrocka’ without demeaning the integrity of a truly great Homelander?

    I didn’t catch it, but I did watch this morning to see Black-Haired Guy Who’s Not Steve Doocy ponder how congressman could say they believe Petraeus is honorable while also telling him they don’t believe the surge is working. And there was also a really respectful moment where they interviewed John McCain about 9/11 and let him segue into a stump speech about what he’d do as president and how the MoveOn attacks disgust him and everyone should renounce the ads. Real somber anniversary stuff…can’t wait to catch highlights of Rudy’s speech

    Without any disrespect for either gentleman, should one not consider Gen. Petraeus’ comments in the same light one would consider Charlie Weis’ comments about the future success of his team?

    Good one slugger.

    Publius at Obsidian Wings addressed this when explaining Petraeus’ role in all of this. The U.S. public is lost on the War already. Bush isn’t even trying to talk to them anymore. This is all happening because Congress required it, and Bush (using Petraeus) is only really interested in talking to Republicans and shoring up the base…

    To me, it’s pretty simple. It’s not that Petraeus is dodging hard questions. It’s that Bush is no longer trying to persuade the nation about the war – in fact, he’s not really even talking to them. He’s just trying to persuade Republicans.

    The administration has long since recognized that they’ve lost the public on Iraq — not to mention virtually all Democrats. I’m sure they also understand that these people are permanently lost and there’s no getting them back.

    […] With legs still wobbly on the GOP side, the administration (and thus Petraeus, their dependant subordinate) have a single strategy — reassure the base. They just need to prevent the floor from collapsing while they run out the clock with the Dean Smith Four Corners offense. For that reason, Petraeus is going on outlets like Hugh Hewitt and Fox News.

    Again, it’s not that he’s ducking questions — he’s a smart guy and I’m sure he’d do just fine with those scary, scary reporters. No, it’s that he’s been drafted to keep the floor from collapsing. And on that front, he’s done a pretty good job frankly.

    Luckily Bush is only President for three more Freidman Units.

    This is a whole lot easier if you just stop caring. I, for one, no longer give a shit about any of it.

    We are, at this point, a sub-par nation run by infants, assholes, and morons. I will mind my own business and enjoy life with my wife and family.

    I am no longer spending energy on any of this bullshit.

    And how many ads from Freedom’s Watch ran?

    I caught one while listening to the Jim Rome show yesterday. My favorite part was where the woman said her husband/brother/forgot which died fighting ‘Al-Qaeda’ in Iraq so her kids won’t be doing the same in twenty years.

    Just curious to see if our state run media is up to the standards of Kim Jong Il.

    Not yet, but Bush is working on it.
