Two things are evident from the 2008 election. The first is that the American people voted for change, embodied in President-Elect Barack Obama. The second is that this is still a center-right country, shown by the success of traditional values ballot initiatives. This center-right orientation will compel our new president-elect to make difficult choices next year, especially regarding racial preferences. read more
Obama's Dangerous Alignments
October 30, 2008

Addicted to debt
September 30, 2008
When your house is on fire, all you care about is putting out the fire. You call the fire department, get the kids out of the house, and do whatever you can to stop the blaze. After that, you ask who started it. But there is a more fundamental question to ask: How did it start? How could it have been prevented? read more
An ACORN Falls from the Tree
September 29, 2008
As negotiations over Congress's emergency rescue bill continued over the weekend, repeated rumors leaked out that the Democrats were trying to funnel money to a hyper-partisan organization involved in criminal voter fraud. I'm speaking of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now -- known by its acronym, ACORN. Although ACORN was cut from the final legislation, it's important to understand this organization and its long history with, of all people, Barack Obama. And it's important to see how partisan this emergency legislation has become. read more
Words Obama Will Regret
September 11, 2008
On Monday, Senator Obama uttered one sentence that could haunt him until Election Day.

Conservatives are divided today as never before, at the very moment the Left has matched and surpassed our traditional advantages in organization and action.
As the conservative revolutions of 1980 and 1994 fade into distant memories, Bill and Hillary Clinton are preparing their triumphant return to the White House.
Only one thing can stop liberals from fulfilling their Leftist agenda -- a grassroots conservative action and information network capable of reuniting our movement and restoring our majority.
