Guns Don't Kill People, Democrats Kill People January 28, 2014 David Waciski It's shocking to see the near exclusivity of firearm-related homicides to a small subset of neighborhoods; neighborhoods that vote predominately for Democrat candidates.
Why We Lost: The Big Picture December 10, 2012 Jay Haug The big Republican ideas of the last forty years not only do not work for us, they have turned against us and are actually working to defeat us. So what do we do?
The Coming Fall and Eventual Rebirth of America November 27, 2012 Frank Ryan The basic framework of free enterprise once existed in United States and it is a principle which our people typically understand and embrace.
Learning the Hard Way November 26, 2012 Trevor Thomas There is no getting around it; human beings were meant to behave themselves in a certain way. When we violate the standards set by Natural Law, or when our own laws are in conflict with Natural Law, hard consequences await.

We Don't Know Why We Lost Because We Don't Know Who We Are November 20, 2012 Jim Pierce We must send loud, clear, and relevant messages to all Americans that ours is the logical party for them to support. The message is very simple; our policies will help you prosper, and our politics are the best way to give you the foundation you need to succeed.
Conspire, Divide & Smear November 19, 2012 William L. Gensert Barack Obama is playing political poker with a master tactician. And who knows? Maybe our king has an ace up his sleeve and can compel Petraeus to concede, but I would doubt it.
Losing the Battle to Spin the War November 19, 2012 Boyd Richard Boyd By failing to expose Obama and the Progressives in general, the Republicans have left most Americans unaware that there is a war raging for the soul of the nation.
The Secession Obsession November 18, 2012 D.J. Garth I'm sure that liberals will claim that they love their country too. Which begs the question: if you love your country so much, why are you in such a terrible hurry to change it into something else?
The Stark Ugly Truth November 17, 2012 Marc Hitson I am tired of all the blaming of Romney, the Republican Party, the TEA party, the 'radical right', the Christian vote, and us old white guys. You are missing the point: your voting process is hopelessly corrupted.
Outnumbered but not Outgunned November 16, 2012 T.S. Weidler The Second Amendment isn't necessary until someone tries to take it, at which point it becomes absolutely paramount. If you aren't prepared for that day, there is no better time to start than today.

Sore Liberal Winners November 15, 2012 Timothy Birdnow Nobody who signs one of these really believes for an instant that their state will secede from the Union; these petitions are purely symbolic.

Who Cares What the Left Thinks? November 14, 2012 Paul Revere How should Republicans and conservatives deal with the debt? They should stop listening to the "smart" people who have been part of the problem in Washington for years and decades.

The Tea Party at Valley Forge November 13, 2012 Timothy C. Daughtry The left is hoping that the tea party movement is dead. Now is the time to organize, to train, to demonstrate, and to educate a nation in distress.
America Votes to End Modern Civilization November 12, 2012 Daren Jonescu The stakes could not have been higher: freedom or coercion, individualism or collectivism, modern civilization or uncivilized brutalism. America chose the latter option in each case.
It Is Not Too Early for Conservatives... November 12, 2012 David Coughlin It is not too early for the conservatives to start work to take back the party and the country. The Republican establishment elite does not learn from its mistakes, and conservatives can no longer wait for Republicans to wake up.
Nate Silver Admits Pollsters Correct Methods Days Before Election November 11, 2012 Yossi Gestetner Polls were actually a point or two in favor of Mitt Romney on average in the three weeks before the election, instead of being tilted to Obama.
What Conservatives Need November 11, 2012 Sally Zelikovsky In the end, cannibalism causes us to self-immolate. We have the right principles for prosperity, liberty, and civil society. We need to remind ourselves of this.
Aftermath November 11, 2012 midwestrepub We must allow ourselves to fail sometimes, and then look up, look ahead, and work hard to be, and do, better.
Why Mitt Lost and Obama Won: A Different Perspective November 11, 2012 James Arlandson You have cold, rational economic reality on your side, but people have the warm pleasure principle inside them. That need for pleasure may explain, in a big way, why Republicans lost seats in the Senate and the House.
Don't Blame Romney, Blame the Dreamers November 10, 2012 Jeff Treesh It isn't all Mr. Romney's fault. He ran an honest and clean campaign and would have done great things.
Mitt Romney's 47% Coming Home to Roost November 10, 2012 Clifton Chadwick Because majority rule is a central characteristic of democracy, the danger always exists that a majority, free of restrictions on its power, will oppress members of the minority.
Why Accept Tyranny and Ruin? November 9, 2012 J. Robert Smith The critical question becomes: if the left remains ascendant; if its principles and policies continue to be ratified by voters in elections to come; if it continues to degrade the culture and morals of society; when will conservative America shout, "Enough!"?
The Revenge Presidency Begins November 9, 2012 M. Catharine Evans Most people have trouble losing gracefully; Beyonce and her ilk can't win gracefully.

Pander, Baby, Pander November 9, 2012 David Berriman People have been conditioned in this country over several decades to look at themselves as members of particular groups that require attention, if not outright special accommodation.
Why Obama Won November 9, 2012 Gary Aminoff How is it, in America, that we are raising children to believe that bigger government is better, that government is the engine that provides jobs, that profits are bad, that Republicans care about only the rich?
What Could Possibly Go Wrong? November 9, 2012 C. Edmund Wright The story of the 2012 election is that voters still blame Republicans for systemic problems caused by liberalism, and yet they credit Obama for victories brought about by applied conservatism. Now how does this happen?
A Few Things I Never Want to Hear Again November 8, 2012 Daren Jonescu The name of conservatism, and more importantly its proud truths, must never be allowed to slip from the public consciousness. They will do exactly that if the non-Democrat in future campaigns hides from this name.
Obama's Election Seals Our Fate November 8, 2012 Monty Pelerin Obama had no viable economic plan for the last four years, and he is still without one. There has been no progress economically. Instead, we are $5 trillion worse off with nothing to show for it.
What Have They Really Won? November 7, 2012 Mark Macina So mourn Romney's loss today, but tomorrow pick yourselves up, dust yourselves off, and carry on.

Shovel Ready November 6, 2012 D.L. Hammack I want my president to be one who will pick up the proverbial shovel instead of the literal golf club.

Catholics and the Polls November 6, 2012 Keith Riler Could Gallup's high estimate of Catholic support for Obama be an overstatement, and might the Romney win be bigger than the Gallup numbers indicate?
A Mile South & Four Years Later.... October 28, 2012 Rosslyn Smith Obama's staff was caught way off guard when the official campaign kickoff was unable to fill the arena at Ohio State. They won't be guilty of overestimating their space needs for election night.

Is Paul Ryan Hawt? October 11, 2012 J.T. Hatter Females across the nation say, "Wow!" And that translates into an awful lot of votes.

The Master Debater Part II October 7, 2012 Clarice Feldman Wednesday the public got to see the president as I have always seen him -- a lazy, superficial thinker who is over his head as Chief Executive.
Time to Fight October 5, 2012 William L. Gensert The "truth" can again be true -- it is time to fight.
A Disengaged President October 5, 2012 Matthew Holzmann There has been a strange turn of events in the last few weeks as we have learned more about the political and personal isolation the president has created for himself. Wednesday's debate was dramatic evidence of his disengagement.
Obama's Mask Slips October 5, 2012 Pamela Geller Obama is merely the pretty face for the über-left monster. Let's face it: Obama is merely a figurehead. A happy face for the anti-American, anti-individual, anti-capitalist revolution.
A Wise and Frugal King October 5, 2012 Todd Keister The stark reality is that on November 6, Americans are electing a king to reign over a bankrupt country.
