Karl Rove leading effort to stop the Tea Party and conservative grass roots

If there was one big loser on November 6th - other than Mitt Romney - it was Karl Rove. Despite trying to portray himself as little more than an observer, "the architect" had his hands all over the election. Via his two political organizations, Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies and American Crossroads, Rove squandered hundreds of millions of dollars and came away with absolutely nothing to show for it.

Al Gore book tour of shame - former VP hammered over Al Jazeera sale

When Al Gore sold Current TV to Al Jazeera for half a billion dollars, eyebrows were raised. After all, Al Jazeera is owned by the government of Qatar - among the biggest of the "big oil" nations. The fact that Gore was amassing such profit by selling his environmentalist network to a major oil producer was an irony not lost on conservatives.

Shocker: Some people doubt that Obama loves skeet shooting

Over the last few days, you may have heard that President Obama is a bit of a gun enthusiast. In fact, he claims that "Up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time."

Five things the GOP needs to do in order to survive

Last week, Bobby Jindal gave us his 7 things the GOP needed to do if it wanted to win another election. While I didn’t necessarily disagree with Jindal’s bullet points, they weren’t really what I wanted to hear. There was too much focus on the kind of wishy-washy language we’ve been handed for the last ten years, and not enough attention paid to the Constitution or the realities within the party.

Rand Paul takes the constitutional fight to John Kerry

He's on fire! En fuego, Mohammed Morsi,

Clinton loses her cool on Benghazi: ‘What difference does it make!?’

Questioned by Ron Johnson over State Department inaction the night of the Benghazi attacks, Hillary Clinton had a bit of a meltdown during today's testimony. Johnson asked why Hillary hadn't done more to determine the validity of the administration's infamous claim that the attacks sprung from a "spontaneous protest," and pressed her on the fact that she was still repeating the lie days later. Hillary did her best to avoid the issue, and then started yelling.

Bill Maher: the Constitution ‘is bullsh*t’ ...the gloves are off

Bill Maher is crass, arrogant, and frighteningly prone to misogyny. His long history of ignorance regarding the history of our nation, and the Constitution upon which it was founded, has been well-documented. Nothing has changed.

Obama in church ....tweeting.

Usually, if you're in church, you shut down the cell phone out of respect for God and the people around you. If you're the President, enjoying mass on the momentous occasion of your second inauguration, one would assume you'd be so overwhelmed with honor and reverence that you wouldn't want to waste time tapping away at your screen. Even if you don't really care about the whole "church thing" and you'd rather be goofing around on Twitter, you'd probably be aware that it's crass and unbecoming. So, you'd wait until service was over.

Ted Cruz holds his own against anti-gun lefties Chuck Schumer and David Gregory

Newly-minted Conservative Senator Ted Cruz appeared on Meet the Press yesterday, going toe to toe with gun control advocates Chuck Schumer and David Gregory. Sadly, no one brought up the fact that Gregory himself proved the folly of magazine bans by violating DC's restrictions on-air. However, it's a solid debate, and Cruz does well despite being (pun intended) out-gunned.

MSNBC: Obama’s speech about moving nation to progressivism

I spend a lot of time talking about how MSNBC gets everything wrong. When you're lineup is clogged with people like Joe "original RINO" Scarborough, Ed "I know nuttink" Schultz, Rachel "smug intelligencia" Maddow, and Chris "Tingles" Matthew, the lies and lunacy pile up faster than snow in Siberia. However, in the interest of fair play, when they tell the truth I feel I should point that out too.

Joe Biden is ‘proud to be President of the United States.’

Last night, at the Iowa State Society inauguration ball, Joltin' Joe Biden took the stage and made a mistake that he's made many times before. He referred to himself as President.

More Piers Morgan gun debate embarrassment - this time, with Dana Loesch and Scottie Hughes

Piers, you really need to stop your people from booking competent guests. Issue an edict that says only "gun nuts" and "ranting whackos" will have a voice on your show because every time you land a guest who knows what they're talking about, it goes horribly wrong.

Oregon Sheriff tells Biden he’ll refuse to enforce unconstitutional gun laws

According to a story first reported by the AP, Linn County Oregon Sheriff Tim Mueller is none too pleased with the President's intended gun control plans. In fact, he's written a stern letter to Joe Biden informing the Vice President that he will not enforce any gun laws which he feels violate the 2nd Amendment.

Complete list of Obama’s 23 executive orders on guns

Here's a list of all 23 executive orders signed by the President this afternoon. Most are geared toward health care, post-crime investigation, and gun safety education. Not one of them would have done a thing to prevent the shootings at Sandy Hook. If today's goal was to ensure this "never happens again," this list represents an epic failure.

Two 6-year-olds suspended for playing cops and robbers - ‘finger guns’ to blame

Last week, two six-year-old students from White Marsh Elementary School in Maryland, were hauled into the principal’s office. Their crime was one for the record books. The boys had committed the unforgivable sin of pointing imaginary "finger guns” at each other.

Video: anti-gun journalists and politicians reject ‘gun free zone’ signs

Project Veritas, masquerading as a newly formed gun control group called "Citizens Against Senseless Violence," recently went door to door asking anti-gun politicians and journalists to place "gun free zone" signs on their property. Among the targets were the homes of gun control advocates from The Journal News, MSNBC, and The Star Ledger. They even paid a visit to Eric Holder's house.

VIDEO: Rand Paul vows to fight tooth and nail against ‘King’ Obama’s gun control orders

Wouldn't it be nice if more Senators were willing to follow Rand Paul's lead and get in front of the cameras with a pro-constitution message? While folks like Jim DeMint bemoan the quality of "Republican messaging," Paul is front and center fighting a fight that should be common sense to every GOP member.

MSNBC panel: We should add Obama and Clinton to Mt. Rushmore

The last time anyone gave any serious thought to carving a new presidential face into the mountains of South Dakota, the intended subject was Ronald Reagan. After all, if you're going to add someone to Mt. Rushmore, they'd better be pretty popular. Reagan, considering the overwhelming support and acclaim he received from the American people, seemed a natural choice.

Riot erupts over section 8 housing vouchers in Detroit suburb

Rioting over government-subsidized section 8 housing vouchers is a phenomenon we've seen before. Last year in Ohio, chaos erupted when thousands appeared at a voucher giveaway that was expected to draw only hundreds. This morning, Taylor Michigan - a suburb on Detroit's Southwest side - experienced a similar violent conflict. This time, however, it was on a much larger scale.

Piers Morgan demeans Constitution as ‘your little book,’ fails miserably in gun control debate

We've seen Piers Morgan hold his own in a gun control debate when facing someone who's barely coherent. Unfortunately for the condescending Brit, the minute he books a competent guest his arguments completely fall apart.
