George Will, Commissar Barry, and Unicorns

George Will recently opened up his weekly column with this:

Barack Obama, the first president shaped by the celebratory culture in which every child who plays soccer gets a trophy and the first whose campaign speeches were his qualification for the office, perhaps should not be blamed for thinking that saying things is tantamount to accomplishing things, and that good intentions are good deeds. So, his presidency is useful after all, because it illustrates the perils of government run by believers in magic words and numbers.

This opening got me to thinking about Commissar Barry and his magic unicorns.

Senate Conservatives Fund Exposing Ditch McConnell

The Senate Conservatives Fund has put together this nice new video further exposing Ditch McConnell. Matt Bevin is the clear choice for Republicans in Kentucky.

Rand Paul Isn't Really Behind Mitch McConnell

In recent days there was an awkward appearance by Senator Rand Paul on Glenn Beck's radio program. Don't just take my word for it, listen to the interview here:



The International Business Times reported the interview with the headline "Rand Paul Is Backing Mitch McConnell's Re-election, But Has No Idea Why."

As I speculated on this blog back in September, I don't think Senator Paul is wholeheartedly behind Mitch McConnell. Mitch McConnell is a bully and he's worried about his own hold on power, as was demonstrated in Senator Paul's book, The Tea Party Goes To Washington, and I scanned these pages for my dear readers as proof.

Kentucky Republicans: Do the right thing. Vote Matt Bevin in the Republican primary this year.

Happy 103rd Birthday President Reagan

It's not original, but that's ok. For Ronald Reagan's 103rd birthday, let's look back at his 100th birthday and something I wrote at that time.

Enjoy.

David Brooks' Brilliant Social Justice Speech

David Brooks of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) has produced this outstanding three minute video. Every Republican, every conservative, needs to watch this. The lessons here...are invaluable.

You may recall a few weeks ago I bought a copy of Newt Gingrich's newest book, Breakout. I tweeted about the purchase, and Newt re-tweeted me, which was awesome. Obviously, as an opinion leader, Newt wanted to know what I thought about the book. I'm sure you're curious too.

So, here's my Amazon review:

Breakout inspires, motivates, encourages and guides. Five Stars!

Newt Gingrich's Breakout is an important contribution to the future of our country.

Breakout is not your typical Left vs. Right book. For instance, if you read a book like Gingrich's To Save America, this is very different. It would actually be interesting to know how few times the words "Republicans" or "Democrats" actually appear in Breakout. Instead, this book is about big ideas and big thinkers, people who are trying to make things happen, and usually succeeding, in spite of government regulators and those who want to keep the old order in place.

Newt accurately uses a new label, "prison guards," to identify those keeping us locked down in the old, failed ways: bureaucrats, teachers, regulators, professors, government agencies, and environmentalists, to name but a few. Newt cites many great examples and resources throughout his book, all of which can easily be found for further research so we can all work toward achieving Breakout.

Newt's final chapter (chapter 13) and his Conclusion are both brief, but both a really great, important summations of what needs to be done to achieve Breakout. If you do not walk away from this book hopeful and motivated to make real change happen, the problem might just be with you, and you must be happy with the status quo which ultimately is the path to continued failure and mediocre outcomes.

As I mentioned before, go in to this book with an open mind. Breakout isn't just for Republicans or just for Democrats: it's for us. All of us. Breakout awaits, and this enjoyable, readable roadmap toward Breakout is a quick and easy read and will certainly open your mind to clearer thinking about what can happen if we all demand it and work toward it.

Mark Levin Reacts to Mitch McConnell on Cavuto

Mark Levin used Mitch McConnell's pathetically weak appearance on Neil Cavuto's Fox News Channel show to demonstrate that Mitch McConnell is: 1) weak. 2) pitiful. 3) not a leader. 4) go-along-to-get-along Mitch. 5) needs to be replaced by Matt Bevin in Kentucky.
