Most of us in the real world who supported Ron Paul’s presidential campaign did so with no illusions that he was actually going to get the nomination. The most important thing about Ron’s campaign was to put forward the limited-government philosophy that so many Republicans had forgotten in the dozen years they were in […]

It’s all but settled. John McCain will be the Republican Party nominee for president in 2008. Which has caused much anguish among many conservatives who knew Ronald Reagan - who was a friend of theirs. And Senator, you’re no Ronald Reagan. Or words to that effect.
Nevertheless, conservative realists recognize that despite […]

The Nevada teachers union re-filed their tax-hike initiative last week and renamed it “Save Our Schools with Additional Funding for Salaries and Student Achievement.” Apparently the union wants the public to believe that if we just pay teachers more money, they’ll do a better job - proving these folks just don’t live in the […]

Limited-government conservatives were rocked last night with the news that Rep. John Shadegg (R-Arizona) was retiring after 14 years in the House. Conservatives can only hope this means a run for the United States Senate is in his future should Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) be elected president in November or retires in 2010. […]

Wow.
I’ve been telling y’all for years that CPAC was a must-attend annual event for conservative activists, and that has never been more true than this year. On the dais today, among numerous other speakers, were Vice President Dick Cheney, Mitt Romney, John McCain and Ron Paul.

The New York Knicks stink. As USA Today noted on Wednesday, they’re in the midst of their seventh consecutive losing season. They’re in last place in their division, losing one out of every five games they’ve played this year, including (as this column was being written) their last six seven in a row. […]
