I know that you realize it, but this is a two-front political war.

I have read some profoundly stupid commentary on the right about Christine O’Donnell, pronouncing O’Donnell’s campaign dead because of a sophomoric series of appearances in the 1990s on Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher.

It appears that some people are hoping for...

Prior to last week, when is the last time anyone heard of the “Buckley Rule,” a supposed prescription by William F. Buckley, Jr.?  Now it is all the rage for pundits whose man in Delaware lost.

The Buckley Rule now rolls off the tongues, keyboards and pens of the punditry as if it were a law...

The victory last night of Christine O’Donnell over Mike Castle in the Delaware Republican Senate primary signals a sea change.  Not so much because O’Donnell won over the heavily favored establishment GOP candidate; that pattern is not new this election season.

Instead, the reaction of the GOP was one of immediately throwing...

This year, the backbone of the conservative movement is provided by the ladies, who are not for turning.  Unlike our men.

The “nuts and sluts” defense is a common employment law tactic whenever a female employee brings a claim.  It doesn’t matter what the claim is, the defense — after the usual legal mumbo jumbo — will be something like this:

Prof. Stephen Bainbridge and Dan Riehl have been debating the Delaware Senate Republican primary, and whether it is worth electing “RINO” Mike Castle.  Bainbridge says yes, Riehl says no.

I don’t know enough about Castle or Christine O’Donnell to weigh in on whether Castle is a RINO or O’Donnell is a true...

What is it about the start of August? In the past couple of days we have seen several pieces by people who create misleading caricatures of conservatives and then use those misleading caricatures to attack a broad swath of those opposed to the Obama agenda.

This tactic is common, but it usually...

Ronald Reagan’s final speech as President, sometimes known as the “Shining City Upon A Hill” speech.

But the speech was so much more. Incredible foresight on the eradication of the American memory (at 2:50), coming true before our very eyes.

One of the difficulties of adhering to constitutional federalism is that liberals always, always want to use conservative acknowledgement of any acceptable role for the federal government as an excuse to require federal government control of just about everything. The slope is very slippery, indeed.
