You’re going to hear quite a bit from the left over ‘the death of conservatism’ over the next few weeks. But they’ve got it wrong. I say, what we’ve got is the death of compromised conservatism as espoused by George W Bush, his father, GHW Bush, and by more recently, John McCain.
This morning, we see a post from Helen Valois at Renew America, who calls this ‘conservative conservatism’. I can quibble with the name she chooses, but not her meaning…
What is conservative conservatism? It is a commitment to playing a good defense (or rather — except for the one, brief, shining moment of Governor Palin’s acceptance speech — a pretty flawed defense) when your opponents have gone decisively on the offensive. It is that which John McCain quintessentially represents — the recalcitrant[...]

I’m tired of everyone dumping on George Bush. I’m the first to admit that he has some serious leadership deficiencies, but he is the President and won the job fair and square twice, despite what the Libs think. As President, he deserves our respect, just like Nixon and Clinton did. For eight years, I had [...]
I have to admit, my thoughts regarding the latest financial debacles waver from one extreme to the other. My initial instinct is that the markets need to be stabilized, and anything that provides a floor for a stock market in apparent free fall is a good thing.
My next thought is that $700 billion is a [...]

The US Senate voted today to approve the FISA bill, including immunity for the telecomm companies who acted at the government’s request with the understanding they were receiving and acting on legal requests. The bill was approved after Republicans agreed to allow Democrats more judicial and congressional oversight. And the bill passed 69-28.
Bush is, of [...]
President Bush and Senator John McCain are both now promoting off-shore domestic drilling. Hallelujah. It took them long enough.
But it is, amazingly, going to yet be an uphill battle. As long as Democrats continue to stand on weak, worthless principles, like “anywhere buy my backyard”, we’re going to have to fight for the things that [...]

I’m going to keep it simple. Bush did a great job. Clear well thought-out plans to address a number of our country’s current issues. I’m sorry, and I know they’re paid to be Democrats and all, but do the Democrats had to act like they were just barely putting up with his presence? Hillary looked like [...]
