The long-time progressive’s pitch to the disenfranchised Right

Pat Buchanan; Ralph Nader The American Conservative Magazine

Ralph Nader recently accepted Pat Buchanan’s invitation to sit down with us and explain why his third-party presidential bid ought to appeal to conservatives disaffected with George W. Bush. We think readers will be interested in the reflections of a man who [...]

Conservatives Lost More Than an Election

Linda — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 04:44:41 +0000

By Chuck Baldwin – NewsWithViews.com

That Barack Obama trounced John McCain last Tuesday should have surprised no one. In fact, in this column, weeks ago, I stated emphatically that John McCain could no more beat Barack Obama than Bob Dole could beat Bill Clinton. He didn’t. (Hence a vote for John McCain was a “wasted” vote, [...]

Republican Disaster at Hand

Linda — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 04:59:57 +0000

by Timothy P. Carney – Human Events

We haven’t seen a poll out of South Carolina in more than three weeks, and there’s a chance commercial pilot Bob Conley (D) could pull ahead of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R). Conley performed strongly in a recent debate, hitting Graham and Washington on the bailout. Graham, tied more closely [...]

An Open Letter to Sarah Palin

Linda — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 15:14:44 +0000

To: Gov. Sarah Palin From: The American Conservative Editors Re: What Your Tutors Aren’t Telling You

Congratulations on being chosen as John McCain’s running mate. It’s an honor, if a dubious one. As you know, conservatives have reservations about McCain. To your credit, they have few such concerns about you.

You’ve given new life to a party whose brand [...]

Money Bomb Bob!

Brigade, You asked me to keep you updated on latest polls, etc. for our conservative SC Senate candidate [and Ron Paul supporter], Bob Conley – here’s the latest:

As I reported last time, Bob was closing the gap with Neocon Lindsay Graham. I mentioned a private poll showing Bob at 40% — an increase of 8 [...]

We Can Have a “Pat Buchanan-Ron Paul” Senator in 2008

Linda — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 04:12:03 +0000

by Linda Muller – buchanan.org

“Bob Conley is not publicly endorsing Obama. That’s his personal business, he said, adding that his dream ticket would be led by Pat Buchanan, with Ron Paul as vice president…”

Brigade, I have written before about one of our own — conservative Democrat Bob Conley from South Carolina. He’s running for [...]

Maternal Flame: Sarah Palin’s Family-Friendly Appeal

Linda — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 07:51:45 +0000

By Steve Sailer The American Conservative Magazine

Why, in one uproarious week of American politicking that not even H.L. Mencken would have expected, has the obscure governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, outraged roughly one half of the country and overjoyed the other?

What intrigues people about elections aren’t the platform planks. Deep down, political contests are about picking [...]

Sarah Palin, Neocon Pod Person

Linda — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 13:23:50 +0000

Did they hypnotize her, or was that unnecessary? by Justin Raimondo – AntiWar.com

I have to laugh at the brouhaha Sarah Palin’s ascension to national prominence has stirred, especially the consternation in the Obama camp and the media (or do I repeat myself?). One can only imagine the spittle-flecked computer monitors of the anti-Palinistas – especially Andrew [...]

Palin Got Neoconned in Record Time

Linda — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 03:45:05 +0000

by Paul Mulshine – NJ.com

It’s a good thing Pat Buchanan’s not dead. He’d be rolling over in his grave.

At the Republican convention, Buchanan was taken in by the mass hysteria surrounding Sarah Palin. But even as he cheered, Pat inserted a caveat. He feared that Palin would be brainwashed by the nutty neoconservatives whom Buchanan [...]

Obama Camp Plays the Nazi Card

Linda — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 01:28:45 +0000

By Joe Murray – The Bulletin

The Obama camp has raised the eyebrows of the media and scorn of the GOP by supporting the comments uttered by Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Fla., in which he alleges Sarah Palin is a “Nazi sympathizer.”

“John McCain’s decision to select a vice presidential running mate that endorsed Pat Buchanan for president [...]

First, from August 31 to September 2 in Minneapolis, we will host a handful of events that will shake the political establishment. Everything will culminate on Tuesday with the official launch of the Campaign for Liberty at the Rally for the Republic.

The Madness of John McCain

Linda — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 04:05:01 +0000

A militarist suffering from acute narcissism and armed with the Bush Doctrine is not fit to be commander in chief.

by Justin Raimondo American Conservative Magazine

John McCain’s reputation as a maverick is no recent contrivance. The senator first captured the media spotlight in September 1983, not long after he’d been elected to his [...]

Obama’s Israeli Connection

Linda — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 17:53:00 +0000

By Thalif Deen at the United Nations The Sunday Times Online

NEW YORK – It’s an axiom in American politics that if you publicly criticize Israel or openly support the Palestinians, you are politically doomed either way. And this is more so in a presidential election year, where all candidates aspire to be more pro-Israeli than all [...]

Let’s Hear It For the GOP!

Linda — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 15:23:02 +0000

By Pastor Chuck Baldwin NewsWithViews.com

I think it is time that we all stood up and gave the Republican Party a big round of applause. I mean, they have done us all a huge favor. By an overwhelming majority, the GOP has prevented a potential plague from enveloping these United States of America, and I think it [...]

The McCain Court

Appointing conservative judges would undermine the maverick’s legislative legacy.

by Michael Brendan Dougherty American Conservative Magazine

The prospect of overturning Roe v. Wade may be only incentive powerful enough to turn a disillusioned conservative into a motivated McCain voter this November. After the betrayals of the Bush era, many on the Right still point to the ascendance of [...]

Obama’s Israel Test

by Scott McConnell American Conservative Magazine

Is the lobby losing its grip?

Laying the groundwork for a bold presidential bid, the young Democratic senator set up a meeting with a key leader of the Jewish community. He had won substantial Jewish support in his home state, but as a first termer, he was not yet well known nationally. [...]

Make the World Safe for Hope

Linda — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 03:55:31 +0000

by Brendan O’Neill American Conservative Magazine

Can Barack Obama, who campaigns as an icon of peace, actually be more bellicose than Bush? Yes, he can.

Obama-mania is getting out of hand. Full-grown and well-educated men—from swooning Andrew Sullivan to the entire staff of GQ magazine—are developing “man crushes” on Barack Obama, going weak in the knees for his [...]

Grand Old Party: High spirits and low expectations at CPAC

Linda — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 13:43:05 +0000

by Michael Brendan Dougherty American Conservative Magazine

“Ron Paul, under whose standard most dissenters rallied, gave one of the sharpest speeches of his campaign. The only featured speaker to attack John McCain, Paul asked the audience to consider that the presumptive nominee had allied with Tom Daschle on tax policy, with Russ Feingold on campaign finance, with [...]

More McCain Corruption Scandals Surfacing

Linda — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 14:53:04 +0000

“The underlying issue is about McCain’s effort on behalf of one of his largest campaign benefactors, Paxson Communications, to win approval from the FCC to buy a Pittsburgh television station. In his 2000 presidential campaign, McCain received $20,000…”

Our Take: Since running for the GOP nomination for president, Sen. McCain has been assuring critics that he [...]

Top 10 Reasons Not to Vote for McCain

Linda — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 23:24:41 +0000

by Don Feder

I just got back from the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C., where conservatives began lining up behind a man who’s been sticking it to us for years. By a process of self-hypnosis, many have managed to convince themselves that McCain is actually one of us.

Not for nothing did Benjamin [...]

Bush Calls on France for Help

Linda — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 07:28:23 +0000

“The fact that Ron Paul’s campaign for the Republican presidential nomination received the lion’s share of contributions from military families also underlines the great divide between the troops and those who would “support” them by keeping them in Iraq and Afghanistan…”

Don’t Vote for Fastest Race Horse By Matthew Hurtt – The Daily News Journal

What upset me during this primary process is that many voters with whom I have spoken have commented that they are torn between the candidate they want to win and who they think is the most electable. I guess most people see the [...]

McCain: Conservative or Globalist?

McCain speech on CFR website:

“We cannot build an enduring peace based on freedom by ourselves. Nor do we want to. The Declaration of Independence proclaimed our duty to pay decent respect to the opinions of mankind.”

“We should go further and start bringing democratic peoples and nations from around the world into one common organization, a [...]
