| This weekend National Review Institute hosted a Summit in Washington DC titled "The Future of Conservatism." The fact that National Review felt the need to call on Joe Scarborough to sum up the "Trouble with Conservatism" is Exhibit A for what is wrong with these navel-gazing enterprises. "I think the debate has been stifled. It has been stifled because we have created this conservative groupthink over 30 years that has become more and more narrow. A conservative groupthink that would allow all of our primary presidential candidates being asked if they would

What on earth is wrong with National Review?? He is the last person who should ever give the GOP advice. If so, we are doomed for failure forever. Good. Grief. No wonder we are in such trouble.

I have no problem hearing Scarborough´s views. As conservatives consider what to do, moving forward, all views should be heard. Though I probably would disagree with them, I have no problem hearing from David Frum, Kathleen Parker or David Brooks, either.

I have no problem with Joe Scarborough expressing his views - I have a problem with RINO enablers giving him cover to pose as a conservative. This is deceit.

The people at the National Review have a vested interest in making sure the money continues to flow to the Republican Establishment of which they serve.
Anyone not threatening the cash cow and willing to
attack anyone who points out the farce the party has become is the hero of the day.

We attended NRI summit this weekend in DC and felt that William Bennett gave the best advice in telling Republicans to take the offense in fighting Obama´s agenda, that defense was not enough. He told the story of a football coach who advised his players that the only time they should be looking down is if they were peeing into their shoes. If Mr. Bennett were a little younger and so inclined, we should nominate him in 2016.
The night owl with Mark Steyn, Jonah Goldbert and Rob Long was another highlight of the weekend and included toasts to Andrew Breitbart and William F. Buckley.
There were times when I scratched my head and wondered why a woman pundit was discussing a 47 year old woman´s concerns about birth control and abortion, or why illegals were being discussed as a focus of voters´ rights.

The Flag I Used to Love
There is a flag I used to love,
Its name is called Old Glory,
It used to stand for liberty,
But now’s a different story.
Today it stands for federal pow’r,
For force, oppression, pain,
It used to cause my heart to sing,
But now’s the source of shame.
Today it’s freedom’s enemy,
A symbol of oppression,
It used to stand for liberty,
But now the tyrant’s aggression.

The "big tent" has inflicted us with all sorts of communicable diseases that have weekened the message and creed of conservatism.
Joe´s explanation would lead us to the quickening of death of our few remaining values.

Let´s give NRO a break.
Maybe they brought Morning Schmoe from MSNBC around to show an example of "Conservatives Gone Bad."
Kinda like what happens when you toss a rotten apple in a basket of fresh fruit.

I listen to the moderate Republicans and the left wing Democrats so I can know how to refute them. It is hard to do and many times I can´t stand it and have to turn the channel.[stomach turns] I also can´t stand the extreme right wing Republicans who don´t know what they are talking about, but just blab an oft repeated phrase.
I remember how Reagan was called a ´right wing extremist´ by the MSM and the Republican hierachy. He also was called a "liberal" by actual right wingers. [he used to be a Democrat they said and that stained him for life with them, Idiots] Why is the world so full of idiots who can´t think for themselves, and who don´t care about ´truth´?

I remember driving from Mobile to Charlotte with a stop in Pensacola over Thanksgiving 2000 to attend a rally for George Bush put together by Rep. Scarborough. He was GREAT! Don´t know what happened to him, as he had the crowd in the palm of his hand.
I can´t stomach him now.

He´s been dining out on his I´m -a -conservative -but schtick for a while. Considering the parade of leftists he hosts weekly, all spouting identical points of view, its absolutely ridiculous for him to accuse the conservative circular firing squad of groupthink. I´m not sure he even knows what it means or that he´s a particularly bright fellow.

personally, i dont expect much from folks who live their entire lives in the NY/DC bubble.
the same people who thought Reagan a buffoon are the same people who look down upon Palin and the Tea Party.
arrogance is no a virtue.
keep voting for whomever the republican party nominates. i am sure it will turn out better the next time.

EXCLUSIVE: In the hallowed halls of Columbia University, a nest of ex-cons — who have served time for murder, attempted murder, robbery and assault — hold court on their unique brand of social justice for admiring students enrolled in the school´s social work program, a FoxNews.com investigation has found. The ex-cons work for or with the Criminal Justice Initiative (CJI), co-founded in 2009 by former Weather Underground operative and Columbia adjunct professor Kathy Boudin, who pleaded guilty to felony murder for her role in an infamous 1981 armed robbery that left two police officers and a security guard dead.

On Rush Limbaugh’s radio show this afternoon, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, denounced the Gang of Eight immigration reform bill, encouraging his audience to call their member of Congress to oppose the bill. Cruz noted there were about 20 Republican Senators that were on the fence about voting for the bill, but that he believed that it was “politically foolish” and “terrible for the country.” “It doesn’t fix the problem,” Cruz said. “We need to fix the problem, secure the borders and improve legal immigration.” Cruz dismissed the Congressional Budget Office report showing that the bill would actually decrease federal

President Obama´s visit to the Group of Eight summit has created a political row in Ireland after an outspoken liberal lawmaker on Wednesday denounced the U.S. president as a “war criminal” for his drone use and his decision to arm the Syrian rebels. Parliamentarian Clare Daly said her country´s government had showcased the country “as a nation of pimps, prostituting ourselves in return for a pat on the head,” The Irish Times reports. The “unprecedented slobbering” during Obama´s two-day visit to Northern Ireland, she said, had even led to speculation that “you were going to deck the

Billionaire businessman Ronald Perelman has helped land the wife of Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor on the board of directors of Revlon—the latest politically connected appointment to the board of a company he controls. Perelman, 70, has been a political player for decades. He dishes out large campaign checks. He employs a team of lobbyists to patrol the nation’s capital to protect his business interests. And he has ensured that a steady stream of political elites land on the payrolls or boards of directors of his businesses. Among the political bold-named faces that have filled

President Obama on Tuesday downplayed Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s decision to suspend talks on a long-term security deal with the U.S. in protest of the launch of formal peace talks with the Taliban. Karzai also pulled out of peace talks with the Taliban the Obama administration agreed to hold in Qatar, which are to begin Thursday. Obama said his administration had always anticipated "difficult negotiations." "We had extensive conversations with President Karzai both before and after the Taliban opened the office in Doha," Obama told reporters at a joint press conference in Berlin with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

It probably wouldn´t have shocked political observers if Sen. Marco Rubio´s job approval ratings had taken a hit since becoming the Republican face of comprehensive immigration reform earlier this year. But the Florida Republican´s numbers in his home state are actually close to their best ever, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released on Wednesday, though the senator did get low marks from voters for his handling of both immigration and gun control. Rubio had a job approval rating of 51 percent to 35 percent, the survey of registered voters found.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded.

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
