What’s Wrong with Texas? The Lone Star State is not Cooperating with the Left
One of the top priorities of the left today is shifting the national balance of power by turning Texas blue, using tactics it claims were responsible for a similar transition in Colorado.

Erickson, Coulter, and Good Writing
Red State’s Erick Erickson and Ann Coulter recently went back and forth in a debate over whether conservatives should support Mitch McConnell. Coulter got things started, using inflamed rhetoric while criticizing “nonsensical jeremiads against McConnell on the RedState blog.” Erickson’s response was quite good.

Quote of the Week: Doug Wilson on Energy Independence
“Let’s talk about energy independence. My entire adult life I have been listening to politicians promise to work for energy independence. Just so’s we’re clear, we live on a continent that is so rich in energy that we could light and heat the whole planet for the next millennium or two. Whether we are talking…
The Fringe is Marginal no More
“Yes, we do, because the fringe is marginal no more.” – George Will, in a 1995 column. I first read this quote on January 1, 1995 as Washington, D.C. was preparing to swear in the first Republican majority in the U.S. House in 40 years that would join the existing Republican majority in the U.S….
