Now is the winter of conservative discontent
2012-02-10 19:18:00 Scanning the Facebook feeds of our liberal friends, we see them gloating the Republican infighting, particularly Rick Santorum’s surge and Mitt Romney’s failure to rally conservatives to his cause. Over at Powerline, John Hinderaker laments: The presidential primary season has turned into a disaster, in my view. Mitt Romney has shown a discouraging inability to ...

Where is the conservative candidate at this conservative moment?
2012-01-22 16:54:00 Polls show considerable popular dissatisfaction with the president’s policies, particularly his big-government initiatives like Obamacare. They also show support for the broad conservative policies which have defined the GOP at least since Ronald Reagan’s election in 1980. The best attempts of the media notwithstanding, conservative ideas are ascendant. At the same time, the incumbent struggles ...

Saudi heir's death brings conservative to fore
(AP)
2011-10-22 19:11:00 AP - Saudi Arabia's ruling monarchy moved into a critical period of realignment Saturday after the death of the heir to the throne opened the way for a new crown prince: most likely a tough-talking interior minister who has led crackdowns on Islamic militants but also has shown favor to ultraconservative traditions such as keeping the ban on women voting.

Bulls preparing to go conservative due to new CBA?
2011-06-09 14:27:00 Nick Friedell: It's doubtful the Bulls will make a major move on draft night. The last thing they want to do is add another high-salaried player because of the uncertainty of the impending lockout and new collective bargaining agreement. The safer bet is the Bulls will decide to make both selections. Yes, first-round contracts are guaranteed, but the salaries are relatively cheap and the Bulls need to fill out their bench. At present, the Bulls roster is fairly set. No matter whom the Bulls select, it will be tough to crack the rotation next season, especially given that the lockout will probably last so long that it will knock out all league sanctioned summer leagues and could wipe out any...
RIP Chicago Conservative Icon, Tom Roeser
2011-05-31 15:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston Over the weekend Thomas Roeser passed from us. For decades, Roeser was one of Chicago's most visible and versatile conservatives. Roeser was 82. Roeser had a long career in politics once serving in the Nixon administration as an assistant commerce secretary. He left that position over a disagreement over his advocacy of the program meant to help minority owned small businesses. From this point he came back to Chicago as the quintessential Republican reformer that he remained to his last days. Roeser was a key member of the City Club of Chicago and was a long time talk radio host of WLS AM as well as a columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times. Additionally, Roeser was the...

Building a Conservative Majority Starts at Home

Every office from dogcatcher, to city offices, to county and state offices needs to be filled with Tea Party advocates. Conservatives cannot expect an enduring governing capability by focusing solely on federal elections. To that end, this week American Majority (AmericanMajority.org/) unveiled a new free of charge initiative to help train Tea Party groups to groom local candidates in order to build a more enduring conservative governing majority across the country. The project is called the New Leaders Project....

The violence prone leftist, a distempered fellow named Fred Highton, was whining about Republicans with an electric PA system outside the University of Arizona.

I keep telling myself that I need to start pushing Publius a bit harder, but never seem to get around to it. Now I am seeing that I...
