I’m that rarest of Republican—conservative. Like Donald Trump I’ve spent my life in the television, marketing and branding world. I understand how to message. And how to turn lemons to lemonade. The Democrats have handed Donald Trump the perfect TV ad to win the 2016 Presidential election. Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe just gave voting rights […]
As I predicted we would start getting a bit more focus as we have even limited success in pushing a conservative libertarian message. In the posts Another progressive attacks the success of the American Redoubt and Chris Carlson authoritarian progressive attacks the American Redoubt I have come to believe that a lot of these people […]
I picked out a submarine sandwich from the deli along with a pint of whipping cream and rushed to the checkout. The cashier rang up $11 for the two items. She glanced at me and said, “Isn’t that awful? Eleven dollars for that!” To which I responded, “I remember getting a dime from my Dad, […]
The words of Daniel Webster ring as true today as they did over 150 years ago: “Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the […]
The word conservative is defined as ‘tending or disposed to maintain existing views, conditions or institutions.’ Precisely, that is what conservatives are all about, namely the maintaining of the Constitution, American values and traditions. Yet mainstream media constantly refers to conservatives like they are “extremists.” The label ‘far right’ is represented in about the same […]
IDAHO FREEDOM FOUNDATION CRITICIZED It appears the Idaho Freedom Foundation (IFF) is doing a fine job since they are stirring the ire of the neoconservatives and progressives who believe more government is the answer to all our problems and ‘don’t get it.’ It is pathetic to see bloggers criticizing the IFF for rating the voting […]
We do not exist to serve our government. Our government exists to serve us. Many of our elected officials have forgotten this fact. My name is Sharon Ullman and I am running for the District 3 seat on the Ada County Commission against an incumbent. The district number is determined by one’s address but this […]
Presently two are running for president who are socialists. Therefore it would be well for us to understand that socialism is not the worker’s paradise that some make it out to be. Since President Obama recently visited Cuba, a socialist/communist country it is a very good example. Writing for The New American Fr. James Thornton […]
I’m a Republican, I’m a Conservative and I’m a Christian. I am also an American citizen, I am a husband and I am a dad. These words describe my affiliation with various identity groups. Or do they? Just because I say I am part of a certain group, does it really mean I am? There […]
Let’s look at where the federal standards are supposed to be according to the courts first. This should give a basic understanding what is and isn’t allowed. Freedom of religion is not the same as freedom from religion; this is a common fallacy perpetrated in many school systems. This comes from the purposeful misinterpretation of […]
Governor Otter vetoed the school Bible bill on April 5. He was characterized in an April 10 editorial in the Coeur d’Alene Press: “In his wisdom and no small amount of courage…” Well, I still will go with the Twelve Apostles of JESUS as my role models, who, except for one, were martyred for their […]
Hello, this is Darrell Castle! Today, we are going to continue – and also conclude – our six-week-long discussion of Western Civilization: how it met with destruction, what that means for us today, and, if it is gone, what has replaced it? What used to be known as European Civilization, or Western Civilization, was burned […]
