As Americans are debating over how to react to the situation in Syria, there have been some fascinating developments elsewhere in the world well worth noting.

Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day has proven something I've noticed before. Conservatives are very good at buycotts, but very bad at boycotts.

With friends like this, those who want to defeat Obama don't need enemies. Having savaged Newt Gingrich for months, S.E.

There is a prime opportunity in the Indiana Republican primary to elect a solid conservative, Richard Mourdock, and to retire Obama's favorite Republican, Richard Lugar, who has an abysmal voting record. I will be supporting Mourdock, and I hope you will help with this important race. I first wrote...

It's been a few days since I returned to Ithaca from my now-annual trip to CPAC with the Cornell College Republicans and, while I can't help but think I wasn't at the same conference as Erick Erickson, it was a great opportunity to meet other...

I previously posted about Rick Santorum's endorsement in 2004 of Arlen Specter against a challenge from Pat Toomey, in what was a precursor to the Tea Party v. Establishment fights to come. One of the unintended consequences of Specter's reelection was that in 2009 Specter switched parties,...

Almost. Via BuzzFeed Politics: A video posted today shows conservative provocateur Andrew Breitbart shouting "Behave yourselves!" and "Stop raping people!" at Occupiers protesting outside CPAC this afternoon. He also calls them "freaks and animals." According to Campus Progress writer Emily Crockett, who filmed the video at around 6:15...

Michael Reagan, in this interview with Mark Levin, shoots down the smears spread by the Romney campaign and its supporters regarding Newt and Ronald Reagan.

If you asked me even a couple of weeks ago whether the Republican Party could heal from the wounds of this election cycle in time to unite against Obama, I would have said "Yes." I'm not so sure anymore.  After the South Carolina primary the Republican establishment, and...

There is something truly obscene about the full blown assault on Newt Gingrich's strong Reagan conservative history from and on behalf of Mitt Romney, who unabashedly ran away from the Reagan legacy and conservative principles in his 1994 Senate campaign and 2002 gubernatorial campaign. Truly...

Amazingly, while Barack Obama's college, law school, and State Senate records are sealed in a vault to which there is no key, The Wall Street Journal has uncovered Newt's employment records from the 1970s when he was teaching history and then geography at West Georgia College and...
