Romney Hitting His Stride. . . . 2008-01-21 10:45:00 Mitt Romney has finally stopped trying to run as the social conservative in the GOP. It never seemed a natural fit. I don't think he ever had to for that matter. Being a Cultural Conservative was enough. He tried sounding like a social crusader and it wasn't a fit. Romney's utterly virtuous life and family should have been sufficient to make the case. Just look at them. . . His new...

“The Corporation,” Canada’s Greatest Socialist Propaganda Film 2008-01-20 22:21:00 Over the past few months, I have exposed many propaganda techniques of the Far-Left to the mainstream public and those who occasionally read this blog. I uncovered how George Lakoff and the Rockridge Institute concocted social science theories out of thin air in order to push progressive politics. I also exposed Naomi Klein in my short critique on YouTube titled: “Shockingly Ignorant.” This... Click the Headline Link to Visit Copious Dissent and Read the Full Story. ... Film

Barack Obama Blasts Bill Clinton 2008-01-20 17:00:00 We have covered in the past the fact that Bill Clinton is constantly being used to defend Hillary whenever she creates a political disaster. Most of the time when he steps out in front of the media, Bill is his dishonest self. Nevertheless, the media rarely calls him on his nonsense. Consequently, Barack Obama is getting sick of having to deal with both Clintons at once, especially when the... Click the Headline Link to Visit Copious Dissent and Read the Full Story. ...

Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, and MSNBC Bashing Fred Thompson 2008-01-19 23:17:00 If you want to know why everyone watches Fox News and does not trust MSNBC, watch this video.

Video about Capitalism 2008-01-19 21:27:00 Most of the arguments made in the video are a great case for Federalism and against the United Nations. I disagree with the speaker's present outlook on Iraq, and some of his foreign policy statements, but the overall message is interesting. Keep in mind that his definition of liberalism is the "classical" definition. Click the Headline Link to Visit Copious Dissent and Read the Full Story. ...

John McCain wins South Carolina Primary, Fred Thompson is Done 2008-01-19 21:00:00 John McCain has just won the South Carolina Primary. This is the nail in the coffin for Fred Thompson. The only thing we can hope for now is that the candidates that remain will continue to push limited government as the means to get elected rather than populism. It appears that his victory speech did just that. Now let us see if he implements it. I will let you know after Florida who I will...

My Destruction of Naomi Klein Supporters on a Liberal Blog 2008-01-19 20:54:00 “Crooks and Liars,” one of the larger “Progressive” blogs on the Net decided to declare The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism by Naomi Klein, their book of the month. For those of you who have followed this blog since January, you are probably laughing already. If you have not read my blog before, allow me to provide some context. I have picked apart Naomi Klein’s book since the... Click the Headline Link to Visit Copious Dissent and Read the Full Story. ...

Mitt Romney Wins Nevada 2008-01-19 12:38:00 Mitt Romney has just won the Nevada Presidential Caucus, which places him in the lead with the highest number of delegates. South Carolina has not started reporting yet, but to be honest, it does not look great for Fred Thompson. I may have to throw my hat in for another Candidate pretty soon. Overall, it appears that when the media obsesses about the economy, Mitt Romney could win a general... Click the Headline Link to Visit Copious Dissent and Read the Full Story. ...

Truth About Taxes. . . 2008-01-18 15:41:00 Now that the Democrats have begun their assault on prosperity (i.e. claiming only the rich received tax cuts etc. . . blah blah blah) again I have to set the record straight on taxes. . . In Tuesday's debate, Democrats continued to claim that President Bush pushed tax cuts that only benefited the rich and repeated the mantra that "the rich got richer while the poor got poorer."

Snow in Iraq!! 2008-01-18 12:46:00 Iraqis prepared this week for snowfall. Yes, that’s right, snowfall. This would be the first time in around 100 years that Mesopotamia experienced ice falling from the sky. It is a good thing that Al Gore changed “Global Warming” to “Climate Change” too, otherwise this would be embarrassing.

Chris Matthews Is A Joke. . . 2008-01-18 08:27:00 Watch. . . The same guy who has spent the last few years flat out slandering Dick Cheney (including purposely pronouncing his name wrong again and again) George Bush and Karl Rove for their unproven role in the Valarie Plame scandal. Throughout Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation Matthews continued to assert their nefarious involvement. Let's forget that 2 years of investigations by the special...

Glen Johnson of the AP Attacks Mitt Romney 2008-01-17 14:38:00 The mainstream media has gone way beyond advocating against Republicans. Now they are simply attacking them openly in public. Watch the obnoxious video below as Glen Johnson of the AP works extra hard to get his double chin in the camera. Amazingly Glen Johnson will not lose his job over this stunt.

My Conference Call with the American Petroleum Institute 2008-01-17 13:47:00 This morning I had a conference call with the API. Much of the conversation entailed economic analysis, but I managed to ask what is being done to educate the public about the desperate need to increase the refining and drilling of oil. Personally, I feel that more immediate action must be taken, and their recent analysis confirms my concern. It appears that while American oil companies have...
