JONAH GOLDBERG: Against Despair – NRO
By MB Snow at November 8, 2012 | 12:35 am
By Jonah Goldberg, November 7, 2012 Let’s not kid ourselves, last night was a bad night. I understand and appreciate the impulse to “come together” and put aside the partisanship. That’s a good and necessary impulse in politics. But so is honesty. And I think the voters made a terrible mistake. No serious person thinks that just because the public votes one ... Go To Article

On Friday morning, Brian Ross of ABC News speculated on live TV that James Holmes, the accused killer in Aurora, Colo., was a member of the Tea Party. A few hours later, Ross posted a short apology online; Holmes had no Tea Party connection. Ross’ ... Go To Article

OBAMACARE:: A tea party battle cry | The Daily Caller
By MB Snow at July 2, 2012 | 1:05 pm
By Yates Walker -- Some pundits are drawing comparisons between our current political climate and that of America just before the civil war. They’re wrong. This isn’t 1859. It’s 1775. A government is a reflection of its people. At the founding, Americans saw freedom as a birthright. To protect that freedom, they designed an accountable government tethered ... Go To Article
