The Rogue, on the Record by Rich Lowry and Robert Costa on National Review Online

Make no mistake about it, Sarah Palin is THE Republican/conservative super star. The Democrats hate her for what she stands for and the elite Republicans envy her for her stardom. And that description reminds me a lot of Reagan. Jim

Anthony R. Dolan: The Power of Reagan's Berlin Wall Speech - WSJ.com

Ronald Reagan was an inspiration and perhaps the greatest President of the 20th Century. After all he did bring down the "evil empire" and much to the chagrin of the elitists in both political parties. Obama should read a couple of biographies on Reagan. Maybe the reading of Reagan will install in him a hint of courage. Jim

Ed Gillespie is a Washington insider who is still sane. While I can disagree with some of his comments around the edges, what he says is mostly right. The best part of the column is his emphasis on recruiting strong candidates with the candidate using rhetoric that the listener can identify with. This column is worth reading. Jim

This is a good analysis of yesterday's elections. The GOP wins in 2010 if they run good candidates espousing conservative economic issues. As James Carville famously said during the 1992 Presidential election, "it's the economy, stupid". Republicans should tattoo those four words on their up and down both arms. Jim

Hillary is right, the Muslims are still crazy and the Israelis did the best they could. I don't know if Bam Bam Obama is a Muslim but he acts like one. He clearly hates Israel (read that the Jews) and is letting Hamas terrorists emigrate to the United States. Unfortunately, the left wing media isn't commenting much on the Hamas terrorists. Let me be clear---we're at war with the Muslims and the idiots in Washington are too cowardly to admit it. I'm old enough to remember when America was a strong country with principled leadership. Right now our ship is sinking. Jim

The last thing Americans want or need is a "fairness doctrine" for the internet. Quite obviously, the Obama administration doesn't give a damn about the 1st Amendment.

Abigail Thernstrom is an icon of sense when it comes to discrimination--in education, in government. This tenured Harvard Professor is one of the most respected in her field. In this column she points out an outrage. Apparently the Obama Justice Department considers blacks inferior, or stupid, or lazy or indolent. I guess it will take conservatives to correct this misconception. Or maybe it's simpler than that. Maybe the Holder Justice Department is merely trying to rig elections. Jim

Steep Losses Pose Crisis for Pensions - washingtonpost.com

This is an article you must read if you receive a government pension. The Bush/Obama duo has caused even more damage then you think. In today's environment govnerment needs to think small. If its thinking about spending money on something new---it shouldn't. This applies to wars like Afgthanistan. Jim

The Missing Debate on Afghanistan - WSJ.com

This is another excellent column by Peggy Noonan. But let's face it---there aren't any adults in Washington. There's just a bunch of sniveling little congressmen who couldn't find their ass with either hand on a sunny day. Where are the great leaders????? I guess they're all out to lunch. Jim

Martin Feldstein - A Better Way to Health Reform - washingtonpost.com

Here's a better idea than what the idiots in Congress have constructed. Let's try something that works. There's this Feldsten proposal, the Jindal proposal and other sane ideas floating around. Unfortunately, the corrupt congress would rather take care of their buddies than help America. Jim

Romney Reboots by Ramesh Ponnuru on National Review / Digital

Mitt Romney is just the type of Presidential candidate the GOP doesn't need. This poor little rich boy (would he have amounted to anything if it hadn't been for Daddy) is out of the Bush mold. He comes from money, privilege and isn't the brightest light in the room. His failed health care plan in Mass. makes him suspect to even sluggish wit Republicans. NO---MITT---STAY AT HOME. Leave the field for Pawlenty, Jindal, Palin and others who came up the hard (and their own) way. America doesn't need any more elitiest. Jim

Ted Cruz and Kelly Shackelford: War Memorials and the Constitution - WSJ.com

Nothing is sacred to the lefties. They abhor traditional culture, mores and behavior. They abhor anything truly American because they hate America. They despise God and worship at the throne of Piss Christ and fourth grade gang fucking. Jim

Stephens: How Israel Was Disarmed - WSJ.com

Stephens writes a piece of fiction which could become fact. The Obama administration leans Muslim left. That scares the the beJesus out of me. I thought Carter was bad when he was President. Obama makes Carter look like a tough guy. But during the Carter years there was Ronald Reagan, the leader of the opposition. Today the GOP has no leader and very little opposition. Our political class has lost it's courage. Jim

Avoid the expense and send them back where they came from. Isn't that the obvious solution. Unfortunately, obvious and common sense are exactly opposite of government thinking. Jim

John Bolton: Iran's Big Victory in Geneva - WSJ.com

Obama and other western nations have demonstrated to the world that they are cowards. Iran will run over this collection of over educated, under couraged western elites like Jim Brown would run over an 8th grade football team. Jim

U.S. relinquishing control of internet is a very bad idea. At some point the Obama administration frenzied quest for "internationalism" has to stop. We're America. Jim

Peggy Noonan: Keeping America Safe From the Ranters - WSJ.com

I wonder who Peggy Noonan includes among the new Elders. Does she include Rush Limbaugh, arguably the most influential conservative commentator. Or what about Glenn Beck (without Beck there wouldn't have been any tea parties or Town Halls), or what about Neal Cavuto on Fox News or Roger Hedgecock on San Diego talk radio? These are just a few. Or does she see David Brooks, Katie Couric and the like as her elders? Truth be known, an "Elder" is in the eye of the beholder. Jim

Op-Ed Columnist - The Wizard of Beck - NYTimes.com

Poor David Brooks---he lives in the same fantasy land as does Congress. They are surrounded by reality but it never touches them. Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Fox news and Sarah Palin are the Republican party. Otherwise no Republican party exists. Jim

Interesting article. Perhaps Obama, himself, is a rogue. He sure doesn't seem to give a damn about American culture and traditions and he loathes capitalism. He might look great with a turban on his head. Jim

Pawlenty preps 2012 campaign team - Jonathan Martin - POLITICO.com

Tim Palenty is certainly an acceptable GOP candidate in 2112. I find it interesting that he begins by taking on the darling of the elites, Mitt Romney. Tim Pawlenty should run for President. Mitt Romney should stay at home and clip coupons. Jim

Yes Virginia, Congress is corrupt. It's corrupt from John Murtha to John Doolittle. Democrats are corrupt, Republicans are corrupt. Staff members are corrupt---the entire system leaks corruptness. America needs term limits and lobbying reform. Jim

George Will is right on---Rubio is a much better choice than Crist. Crist is a so called "moderate" lackey typical of the Bush wing of the GOP. The GOP needs conservatives, not pretty boy elitists. Jim
