Right Pundits

While I hate to dispute Glenn Beck, it is important to understand the origins of the Progressive movement. Especially, if we want to defeat them! The very first Progressive in American history was probably Dr. Benjamin Rush, a Founding Father. You’ll find his signature just above Ben Franklin’s on the Declaration of Independence.

The general consensus seems to be that the Tea Party movement is making a mistake should it become absorbed by the GOP. Personally, I’m not happy about it, either. If anyone saw my typical ballot, you’d see I’m all over the map, spreading my vote around to all of the minor parties. I have probably most in common with the Libertarians, but also do what I can to help the U.S. Taxpayer and Constitution parties. Heck, I’ve even cast votes for Natural Law candidates. In most states, these parties are only allowed on a ballot if they get a certain percentage from the previous election. Read the rest of this entry »

The first national convention of the Tea Party movement has ended in Nashville. The 3 day event drew much attention, and criticism, due to the price of admission, speaker fees and the speakers themselves, like Sarah Palin and Tom Tancredo. Accusations of ‘hijacking the movement’ were flung about by other Tea Party groups. So let’s look at what really happened.

Former Alaskan Governor and 2008 Republican Vice Presidential Candidate, Sarah Palin, spoke Saturday night in Memphis at the Tea Party national convention. Some 600 attendees listened to her speak for about 45 minutes at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel, and take a pre-submitted questions afterwards. After being Introduced by Andrew Breitbart of Big Government.com, Palin took the stage before a cheering crowd.

Green tights are an outfit even Michelle Obama and her acclaimed sense of unflattering fashion should leave to little girls or rock stars on acid. Nevertheless, for a brief time the mainstream media dolled their darling savior with the ragged appearance of a modern-day Robin Hood, a man who stole from the rich to give to the poor.

His weapon?
His words. Sharp daggers of inspiration that shot right into their chest cavity or, if Chris Matthews, right up their leg.

Obama would take from the rich, the semi-rich, the nearly-rich, and the want-to-be-rich-one-day, and give it to the poor. Or, maybe just all to ACORN so they could instruct pimps on how to avoid taxes.

Riding on his gleaming black entourage of SUVs, Obama would wrong the rights and spread wealth like hot butter on bread not made by white males. Minorities would be his Queen. And Michelle would be his court jester, which explains a lot about her wardrobe.

All he needed was Merry Men, whom Barney Frank offered to provide. Then, he needed a less exhaustive way to pick pockets because Robin Hood often broke a sweat.

There has always been a strange lack of understanding in England, as well as the rest of Europe, over American politics. A recent article at BBC News website, “Why do people often vote against their own self-interests?” is a classic example of this. They quote from two well-lettered Democrats, Thomas Frank and psychologist Drew Westen, both of whom have written books on the subject. Read the rest of this entry »

He isn’t running yet. But conservative Mike Pence is ahead in the polls.

In a recent Rasmussen poll, Pence, a U.S. Rep for Indiana’s 6th District, is beating Indiana’s Sen. Evan Bayh (D), the incumbent, by three points, 47% to 44%. Except Pence hasn’t announced his candidacy. In fact, no one’s saying whether he’ll run for the seat or not.

Today, I asked his office if Pence would be running, thinking of running, talking about running, or at least considering warming up with calisthenics and a good stretching regiment. His Communications Director Daniel Son sent me this message:

An Arizona University physicist believes E.T. is here. Or at least some of his bacteria, since aliens are known for their poor hygiene and leaving cheek swabs all over the galaxy.

He will be presenting his idea to the Royal Society, the UK’s National Academy of Science, to urge scientists to take their heads out of the clouds and stick them in the ground. Alien evidence is more likely to appear in deserts, volcano hangouts, salt-saturated lakes, or Antarctica, than in the stars, he says. In other words, “places where ordinary life struggles to survive.”

He has it all wrong. If evidence of extra-terrestrials can only be found where ordinary life can’t survive, forget Antarctica, go to Washington. In fact, I’d start with the House of Representatives, specifically 2252 Rayburn, the office of Rep. Barney Frank.
