“Conservative group launches campaign to ‘depose’ Boehner from speakership”

Finally. Some people who understand that a bureaucratic GOP awaiting its turn at the statist trough is every bit at odds with the founding principles as is the New Left, who have taken over the Democratic party. Daily Caller: The backlash against Speaker of the House John Boehner’s removal of several conservative members of Congress from committees continued Wednesday, with one conservative group calling for Republicans to “depose” Boehner from

“Gallup: 53 Percent of Democrats Have ‘Positive Image’ of Socialism”

Meaning that 47% of Democrats are probably racists. So.  Can we finally note that the majority of Democrats — represented most obviously in their party leadership — have a bit of the old Marx fever, and the only cure is more (collective) cowbell?

Define “conservative”

Because I don’t know what it means any longer — particularly when the term has become has been so diluted that it now includes among its members those who voted for Obama and believe critiques of the Obama phone are “racist,” or cheer on deals that would raise taxes and raise the debt ceiling without significant cuts in spending, while simultaneously blasting conservative candidates for daring to give honest voice

The rules work if you like bigger government, but Republicans need a new strategy, which

My respectful response to Dana Milbank, who believes the GOP needs to “unshackle itself from the far right”

I offer this in addition to Darleen’s earlier post, with the note that JD passed the Milbank column on to me last evening. Dear Dana: You needn’t worry.  The “far right,” that is, those fringe racist neo-Birchers who fetishize the Constitution and believe raising taxes on job producers in a time of high unemployment and slow or stagnant growth — particularly when the “revenue enhancers,” totaling $90 billion (enough to

WaPo Dana Milbank: Romney lost, but he OWES Obama fealty or something [Darleen Click]

How dare Mitt go back to being a private citizen! The nation is heading toward the “fiscal cliff,” but have no fear: Mitt Romney is coming to the rescue — of Marriott International Inc. In his first public comments since election night, the defeated Republican presidential nominee issued a statement Monday announcing his next step. An appeal to national unity? A charitable initiative? No, he announced that he was rejoining
