Beck's Rally Was a Dangerous Distraction for Grassroots Conservativesnew
Glenn Beck is better than most syndicated talk show hosts.

Conservatives Need to Leave Afghanistan & the Neocons Behindnew
Now is the time to make the case that American soldiers shouldn't be the world's policeman, liberal utopianism is not sound foreign policy, and nation-building is not conservative. George Will has and serious conservatives should follow suit.

Mark Sanford: The Conservative Hero That Could Have Beennew
When Gov. Mark Sanford went disappeared last week, I wasn't worried about it, knowing that he was one of the few politicians who would never let me down. Then Sanford was "found," and I was let down.

Mark Sanford's Fight for Conservatism Means Fighting the GOPnew
The state legislature that created S.C.'s current economic woes are the same leaders who are now saying Gov. Mark Sanford is the problem, as if a more cooperative gubernatorial extension of themselves would be preferable and somehow produce different, better results.

The Hypocrisy of the American Pro-Life Movementnew
For pro-lifers to consistently and enthusiastically vote for leaders whose foreign policies will admittedly lead to the deaths of thousands of civilians — women, children, babies — in order to achieve political objectives is something I cannot understand.

The Single-Issue GOP Puts Conservatism Lastnew
It's hard to imagine John McCain picking a better running mate, as the small town, straight-shootin', outside-the Beltway mother of five has not only become the life of his party, but has been successful in making everyone forget that Republican leaders could care less about any of the conservative values she represents.

How the Neocons Gave Obama the Worldnew
Republican talk radio says Obama's popularity overseas is simply a reflection of the big government socialism Europe has become accustomed to. Talk host Sean Hannity even said that Germans have long been attracted to charismatic personalities, implying that Obama's appeal was more fuhrer than philosophical. Nonsense.
