Future of Conservatism? To Rule in Congressional Hell

October 2, 2016 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

What happened to the future of conservatism? Republicans killed it. Democrats were more than willing to assist.

June 10, 2016 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

When Is By the People, for the People Wrong?

June 28, 2015 by Bob Prokop 4 Comments

Republicans have a problem. A big problem. When government that is supposed to rule by the people, for the people gives the people what they want, how can the party say no? Despite the conservative rejection of same sex marriage, polls show that the nation’s opinion had shifted well in advance of Friday’s ruling. The same thing is happening with immigration, the minimum … [Read more...] about When Is By the People, for the People Wrong?
