Don't dis or dismiss this miss!
**Posted by Phineas Sigh. There are just no limited-government
conservatives left in this race, are there? We all know about Mitt
Romney and the indefensible individual mandate in RomneyCare. So,
fine, we’ll just vote for the true conservative in the race, the
man who savagely and effectively attacked Romney’s legacy, Rick
Santorum, right? Right? Ehh… [...]

They say a picture speaks a thousand words … … but this picture
speaks just a few short, sweet, and simple words to me: Senator
Murray: You. are. a. liar. The photo, in case you can’t tell, shows
the first panel at Rep. Darrell Issa’s (R-CA) hearing on religious
freedoms, which are under attack by [...]

Fox News reports on disgusting remarks the Senate Minority Leader
made about Senator Rubio in an interview he did with the Politico
news outlet: A conservative Hispanic group is coming to the defense
of Republican Sen. Marco Rubio after Senate Democratic Leader Harry
Reid questioned the Cuban-American lawmaker’s commitment to
“Hispanic issues” given his early [...]

Drama queens: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) slammed
Republicans for holding a nearly all-male hearing Thursday about
the White House’s birth-control mandate while Democratic women on
the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee staged a
walk-out. While a second panel on the issue of the mandate and
religious freedom included two women, both opposed [...]

**Posted by Phineas A little while back, I featured Justice
Ginsburg opining that the US Constitution really wasn’t a suitable
model for the modern age. Now we have a Washington Post editor
wondering if, perhaps, the first Congress got it wrong when it
guaranteed the free exercise of religion in the First Amendment:
That‘s what [...]

The Washington Examiner’s Philip Klein reports: Testifying before
Congress this morning, President Obama’s acting budget director
Jeffrey Zients directly undercut one of the administration’s key
legal defenses of its national health care law as it nears a
hearing before the Supreme Court. In a hearing of the House Budget
Committee Rep. Scott Garrett, R-N.J., pressed [...]

**Posted by Phineas The Conservative Political Action Conference
(CPAC) seems like such a natural venue for former Governor Sarah
Palin that I’ve often wondered why she didn’t appear there in
2009-2011. It’s not as if she’d have encountered anything other
than a rapturous audience. Well, she fixed that in 2012, and the
crowd loved her, [...]

Unbelievable: RAEFORD — A preschooler at West Hoke Elementary
School ate three chicken nuggets for lunch Jan. 30 because a state
employee told her the lunch her mother packed was not nutritious.
The girl’s turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and
apple juice did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines,
according to the [...]

**Posted by Phineas The Conservative Political Action Conference
(CPAC) was held this last weekend in D.C. I didn’t attend, sadly
(1), so I’ve been working my way through the speeches I would have
attended, looking for some to share. Boy, have I got a good one for
you. Daniel Hannan, a Conservative member of the [...]

If you read nothing else this evening, make sure you read the Daily
Caller’s in-depth report on the undeniable collusion between Media
Matters for America, the White House, and the mainstream media
(specifically the Washington Post, the SF Chronicle, and the
Politico – among others). Here’s a preview: Extensive interviews
with a number of Brock’s [...]

**Posted by Phineas Just as we expected it would be. Phillip A
Klein takes a look at it and compares it to Obama’s promises on
entering office. Here’s his takeway: Obama spent most of last year
lecturing the country on how he supported a so-called “balanced
approach” on deficit reduction. Time and again, he said [...]

**Posted by Phineas Your goddess will be angry with you… According
to a recent study by researchers at UT-Knoxville, electric cars
have a greater pollution impact than comparable (and evil, EVIL,
EVIL!!) gasoline-powered vehicles: “An implicit assumption has been
that air quality and health impacts are lower for electric vehicles
than for conventional vehicles,” [Chris] [...]

**Posted by Phineas If you’re going to protest a minion of the Evil
One-Percent(tm) –in this case, a state government official
concerned about the integrity of the elections he supervises– you
might try protesting in the right room… I saw a very funny example
of the ineptness of the Occupy protesters today. I was at [...]

**Posted by Phineas Yeah, I know. Requiring tests in order to vote
is an old trick from Jim Crow days to deny people their right to
vote. The idea, having been thus spoiled, will never fly again,
even if applied without discrimination to all. Still, I have some
sympathy for saying one can’t vote until [...]

Not that we didn’t know this already, but still … Via Politico:
Actor Samuel L. Jackson put politics aside when casting his vote
for Barack Obama in 2008 and made his decision based on race. “I
voted for Barack because he was black. ’Cuz that’s why other folks
vote for other people — because they [...]
