Tea Parties and Conspiracy Theories

by | 9:10 am, June 26, 2010

An interesting summary by Daniel Foster at NRO of a Matthew Continetti article in the Weekly Standard on Glenn Beck and the resurgence of Bircherism: This cuts right to the core of Continetti’s thesis in that piece —  that the as-yet amorphous Tea Party movement must lead with free-markets and small-government, not conspiracy theories and [...]

Lesley Hollywood on with Dave and Kelly Wednesday afternoon

by | 9:41 pm, June 8, 2010

Day One of the substitute hosting for Luke Shiltz on KFKA 1310 was outstanding, mostly due to my charming, statist, GOP sidekick, Kelly Maher. :-)

Big thanks to Michael Sandoval of the Peoples’ Press Collective for his appearance on the show today.

I’ll have the reigns again tomorrow and Thursday from 4-6 p.m. Ms. Maher is scheduled to ride shotgun again. You can listen online at www.kfka1310.com
Tomorrow we have Northern Colorado Tea Party activist Lesley Hollywood as a guest. Lesley is awesome. Don’t miss it!

Haggis or tripe today, sir?

by | 11:55 am, April 22, 2010

Jonah Goldberg has offered his take on where the Tea Partiers where while George W. Bush was expanding government and spending money he didn’t have. (See “Tea parties a delayed Bush backlash.“)

Concerning W’s Big Government Republican proclivity, Goldberg wrote:
Conservatives didn’t necessarily bite their tongues (remember the Harriet Miers and immigration fiascoes), but they did prioritize supporting Bush — often in the face of far nastier attacks than Obama has received — over ideological purity. Besides, where were conservatives supposed to go? Into the arms of John Kerry?

This perfectly illustrates the problem. With our two party system, we are given two bad choices: Expand government a lot, or expand it slightly less.
As long as we accept two bad choices, we’ll keep getting them. If you keep buying tripe for lunch because the only other option is haggis, guess what you’ll keep being offered? Tripe.
You can gag it down while you tell yourself, “well, it sure beats the hell out of haggis.”
We need more options. We need to be creative. The two party system ain’t in the Constitution. Neither is plurality voting. My immediate suggestion is adoption of approval voting.
I’m open to ideas. I’m begging for ideas! Bring me ideas!

McCain is supported by the Tea Party movement?

by | 8:06 am, March 27, 2010

According to a tease on page 2A of today’s hard copy of the Denver Post for a story on page 6A:

“Everybody here today that supports John McCain is part of the Tea Party movement.”

– Sarah Palin, during a campaign rally for her former running mate.
The actual quotation is not to be found in the referenced story on page 6A. The actual quotation in the AP story is:
“Everyone here supporting John McCain, we are all part of that tea party movement.”
The substance might be generally the same, but I thought quotation marks were for quotations, not paraphrases. Then again, I do not have a journalism degree. However, English is my mother tongue. But I digress….
If either statement is accurate, it means that the Tea Party movement is in favor of federal government bailouts of failed private business (which McCain supported) and against the First Amendment (see the McCain-Feingold Act).
I think Palin has confused the Tea Party with the Big Government Republican Party. If she’s right, the movement is useless.
I hold out hope she’s wrong.
