Sanford in Today’s Wall Street Journal: “Why SC Doesn’t Want ‘Stimulus”
March 22, 2009 – 3:44 pm
Gov. Mark Sanford’s op-ed in today’s Wall Street Journal:
“A recent report by the American Legislative Exchange Council ranked us 47th worst in the nation for annual debt service as a percentage of tax revenue. Our state dedicates nearly 11% of its annual tax revenue to paying debt. On top of that, South Carolina has another [...]
Can You Spot the Violent Extremist?
March 21, 2009 – 6:10 am
I find this picture mock-up amusing and accurate, posted by Michael Tuggle on the Rebellion blog. And to think, many would consider the first guy – the typical, bloodthirsty talk radio dupe, who never met a war he didn’t like – a “conservative.”
This is a reaction to this recent piece of nonsense from the “Missouri Information [...]
SA@Takimag – States’ Rights and The Left
March 19, 2009 – 9:22 pm
I know few liberals who support the War on Drugs, marriage “protection” amendments or the PATRIOT Act. In fact, if you talk to the most vocal Leftists about drug criminalization, gay marriage or the loss of civil liberties, their anti-government rhetoric can sound downright reactionary. “Government has within it a tendency to abuse its powers” [...]
CBS News.com Reviews Tom Woods’ “Meltdown”
March 19, 2009 – 6:07 am
From CBSNews.com:
“Figuring out how we’ve reached this point is not easy. One choice is to blame laissez-faire policies, an argument that’s been invoked by everyone from notoriously pessimistic economist Nouriel Roubini and reporters at the New York Times to French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
On the other hand, the number of pages of federal regulations has swelled, [...]

SA Column – Money Grows on Trees
March 17, 2009 – 10:55 pm
If President Barack Obama and the Democrats are to be believed, the age-old economic lesson my parents tried to instill in me has been utterly rebuked. Money not only grows on trees, but the trees are blooming. How else can you explain Washington’s decision to print more money to solve America’s current lack-of-money woes?
Conservatives are [...]
The Atlantic on Sanford’s Appeal to the Alternative Right
March 15, 2009 – 9:56 am
The Atlantic’s Reihan Salam puts together the reasons why Gov. Mark Sanford continues to appeal to paleoconservatives, libertarians – or the “Alternative Right”:
“The American Conservative, founded by Patrick Buchanan to serve as a voice for anti-war, anti-immigration conservative nationalists, plays an interesting role in conservative politics. Though not as widely read as National Review, which aims to [...]

March 10, 2009 – 9:10 pm
I was pleased to see so many Alternative Right, or Paleoconservative-friendly, websites in the top 10. Writes Taki’s editor Richard Spencer:
“About.com, which has some 40 kagillion viewers worldwide or something like that, has just published a Top 10 list of the best conservative websites offering the “most insightful and informative conservative perspectives anywhere.” Taki’s Magazine [...]
