F#*k it - we're all dead.
Unless of course the Albert Gore Jr Water Wing Company can come up with 7 billion personal floatation devices selling for only $79.95 US and available at UNHUMANRACESALVATIONPROJECT.COM order today!

Sure we will! Right here on Breitbart, and Fox News, and National Review, and...

There is PLENTY of credit, mostly bogus, being given to the Left by the other 98% of American media who serve as Obama's praetorian guard.
The purpose of this blog is to publicize the ugly truths about the left that the other media absolutely refuse to acknowledge. Since that pretty much covers ALL the truth about the Left, it should come as no surprise that there is a lot on this site that you do not like.

Perhaps Holder refuses to investigate ACORN because he knows his own skeletons would come rattling out of the closet if he did.

How often does anyone point out that the 'stimulus" bill was clearly passed to provide Pelosi Reid et al with a HUGE slush fund to promote their agenda? All talk of "job creation", "market stimulation" and even "pork" is really secondary. Pork refers to buying off voters back home; the stimulus bill buys legislators, interest groups and industry sectors outright, a far more insidious kind of corruption.

Would Social Conservatives be satisfied with the absolute freedom to live their lives as they see fit, as I would like to do myself?
"Preserving Traditional Marriage" means establishing YOUR marital traditions as the only legally acceptable ones by prohibiting anything that runs to the contrary. You are already free to marry according to your traditions - why aren't you satisfied with that?
You clearly see marriage as a religiously oriented institution - and I concur. But doesn't the Constitution prohibit Congress from passing laws respecting the establishment of a religion? Is defining marriage and establishing that definition as the sole legal standard for the country even within the sphere of government's proper role?
Would you support a law that protects the Mormon "tradition" of polygamy? Or the muslim "tradition" of harem keeping? Would you want Congress to enforce the Jewish "tradition" of circumcising all males?
Or do you only want your own traditions to be the standard?

We who call ourselves Conservative need to rethink our position in regards to one another and stop forming "coalitions" a la the left. Conservatism is not Christianity, or laissez-faire capitalism, or strong national defense, or American global hegemony. The "Big Tent" that we Conservatives need to gather under is The United State Constitution. It contains every plank that our platform needs.

It's true that self-designated Social Conservatism too often wants the government to mandate its "traditional values" onto the rest of us. This is in part a reaction to the prohibitions on religious behavior that the Left has promoted for decades. The solution to religious oppression however is not reverse oppression but freedom, as laid out in the Constitution. Anytime we go to government to enforce our ideas on our fellows or prohibit their ideas from seeing the light of day we strengthen the precedent that it is government's role to dictate values and behaviors onto the people. An analogy that might be useful is the idea that bringing out a pistol during a fist fight opens up the possibility that it will be wrested from you and used against you.
FREEDOM is the heart and soul of Conservatism, my freedom and yours. Government's role is to "conserve" that freedom. The battle over social issues should be carried out in the public arena, freely, with government limited to keeping that arena open and honest.

One can only hope that all the systemic corruption, incompetence and far-left ideology being exposed in the branches of our government as a result of the election of 2008 will, like an exploratory surgery exposing cancers and festering infections, lead to a massive and decisive rejection of the left and a return to rational republican (small "r") governance in America.
It looks like a bloody three years ahead...

I don't quite accept the premise of this story - that the local units have been "tarnished" by the national organization. Seems to me just the reverse is true, that the odious behavior of large numbers of locals has tarnished the national brand. Not the the national is clean, far from it. But the scandals constantly pouring forth are actions committed by people working at the local level. The cumulative effect of all these "isolated" incidents paints a picture of a culture of corruption endemic in ACORN.
Apparently the cancer that is ACORN has decided to metastasize...
