happy new year 2010: voices carry
Well, 2009, we hardly knew ya!
For many of us, the year that began much the same as any other became one that was slightly more eventful than we anticipated. Millions of Americans lost their jobs and now live a daily struggle to support their families and keep their homes. Our military continues battling to keep us safe in the face of increasing terrorist threats. And, still, as we come to...

palin will be the 2012 gop nominee
Sarah Palin: She was seen from the very beginning as a rising star — a cultural awakener similar to Andrew Jackson — bringing a whole new cultural paradigm to the political process; a new heartland spirit of individualism and self reliance as per Emerson and Barry Goldwater. The widespread, deep and immediate hysteria in the MSM was a sure indication that she was a threat to the old temple and...

The Christmas Friendship Dinner is an annual Christmas-day event in Governor Palin’s hometown of Wasilla, Alaska. The dinner serves thousands of people each year, and is the culmination of thousands of hours of volunteer work to decorate the host venue, prepare food, staff serving lines, and, of course, clean up.
Wasilla resident Tracey Porreca provides a wonderful summary of the event,...

WatchNewt Gingrich gives the Keynote Address at a David Horowitz luncheon (12/21/09)
I saw Newt Gingrich give a speech live - the first and only time, to date - at CPAC in 2009. He has a gift for being both eloquent and passionate in his words and demeanor. The video above is the last of five segments from his presentation. The remainder of the speech can be found at David Horowitz’s site....

we listened and they lied
About two hours ago (at 1:18am EST), the United States Senate passed a motion to invoke cloture on the latest healthcare bill, moving it one step closer to final passage. The debate, which has raged on for days and weeks on end was full of ‘messaging’ on both sides. The Republicans wanted to make it clear that they had attempted to participate in the formulation of the bill, but...

the singular wisdom of sarah palin
The brain is not intelligent because of the sheer volume of data it can ingest, but for the way it can quickly discern patterns — and then guess the rest…educated guesses spring from wisdom: all of your past experiences, knowledge and knowhow, coupled with the most recent information and analysis. In other words, wisdom comes from your gut.

the racism game: we're not playing →
Adrienne Ross (Motivation: Truth) writes a stellar post on the use of the ‘race card’ to demean and defame good people, like Governor Sarah Palin. To paraphrase Ms. Ross: we’re not playing that game anymore.
Read it. It’s good stuff.

WatchRep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) on Breitbart TV (December 10, 2009)
It’s classic Bachmann - a Conservative call to action. This Minnesota representative continues to distinguish herself as the rare politician who, truly, speaks from the heart. I dare you to try to listen without applauding. Powerful stuff.

**UPDATED** Video Added
Governor Palin’s Going Rogue tour hit the streets of Colorado Springs, CO this week and she seemed to have brought a slice of home with her: record cold temperatures and a respectable winter storm hit the state the day before Alaska’s former governor swooped in to give her Rocky Mountain fans a chance to greet her in person.
I was among those who chose to...

climategate: a few thoughts
But they do raise hard questions. In an effort to control what the public hears, did prominent scientists who link climate change to human behavior try to squelch a back-and-forth that is central to the scientific method? Is the science of global warming messier than they have admitted?
- Washington Post article (December 5, 2009)
Earlier this week, it came to light that the Climate...
