Michele Bachmann: Not Palin’s Clone
The media was forced to learn an important lesson on Monday night: not all conservative women are the same. Prior to the Republican debate on Monday, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann was some lesser-known clone of Palin: Brown hair, large family, good looks, conservative, nasal accents… They treated her the same way because of some ridiculous tech [...]
Calling All the Conservative Girls in DC
If you’re in DC this summer, don’t miss this opportunity for young (and young at heart) conservative women. On Friday, June 24, the Network of enlightened Women will hold their annual conference at the Heritage Foundation.

Feminists Continue to Turn Blind Eye on Weiner’s Lewd Behavior
The Twitter scandal of Anthony Weiner, aka “Weinergate” took a bizarre turn today that even political satire writers could have imagined. This morning, Big Government, part of the Breitbart family of websites, released two photos that were allegedly of Weiner and proved that he had engaged in sexually inappropriate online activities with a number of [...]
Weiner Makes Lewd Comments to Female Reporter, But It’s Ok Since He’s Liberal
If you’ve followed the ordeal of Rep. Anthony Weiner and his recent Twitter issues, the story seems to get more bizarre by the day. Regardless of what you think happened, on Wednesday a rather sexist dialogue occurred in the U.S. Capitol between Rep. Weiner and Emily Miller, a senior editor at the Washington Times. Until [...]
Coming to TN in 2014: The Abortion Debate
On Friday, the Tennessee House voted to put an amendment regarding abortion on the ballot for 2014. Per the Chattanooga Times-Free Press: The vote was 76-18 to approve Senate Joint Resolution 127, which is intended to nullify a 2000 Tennessee Supreme Court ruling and give state lawmakers the ability to impose some restrictions on abortions [...]

Scary Budget Crisis Infographic of the Day
My love of infographics is well documented, as is my devotion to fiscal conservatism. Infographics can take complex issues — like the national debt — and develop visuals that make the concepts easier to understand. Today, the Heritage Foundation released a few infographics to help explain the seriousness of this crisis. Via: Federal Budget in [...]
Read More2012 Election: May Depend on New Voters
In 2007, the Obama campaign knew they couldn’t win with existing voters. The momentum for the Democratic nomination was with Hillary Clinton. In order to win, his campaign had to generate new voters. He was successful. By 2008, he recruited 15 million new voters to cast ballots for him. Famously reaching out to younger voters [...]
Read MoreWhy are profits evil?
Earlier this winter, I was walking through the movie theater at Potomac Yard on my way to church. I happened to glance up and noticed the movie poster for the re-make of Arthur. Can you guess what bothered me? The tagline, “The world’s only lovable billionare” sends the subconscious message that all billionaires are unlovable [...]
Read MoreKickball & Wiffleball: New Dangers to Childhood

Read MoreThe Path to Prosperity
If you know any conservatives, chances are they are giddy today over Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget plan for FY 2012, aptly named The Path to Prosperity. Late last night, I nearly swooned while reading Ryan’s Wall Street Journal op-ed. Budget cuts. Fiscal restraint. Reducing spending. Those are the real signs of hope and change. True [...]
Read MoreWhere Does Planned Parenthood Provide Mammograms?
If you haven’t seen the latest Live Action video about Planned Parenthood, take a few minutes to watch it. They shred the last remnant of respect that Planned Parenthood appears to have. If Planned Parenthood doesn’t provide mammograms, what are they doing with the $350,000,000 in federal aid each year? They “assure” us that those [...]
Read MoreEducation Reform Moves Ahead in Tennessee
Update: Go over to Tennessee Report to see hilarious videos of union protesters getting arrested. While Wisconsin remains the face of the war over teacher’s unions, a number of other states are moving to reign in out-of-control unions or reform education policies. Tennessee is among them. Not only is collective bargaining in question, but Governor [...]
Read MoreDon’t Panic Over Nuclear Energy
One of the frustrating things going on with the devastation in Japan is the media’s hysterics over the nuclear power plants. Now Democrats are using an extreme situation to score political points. Most of these headlines are sensationalism and playing on people’s fears from Chernobyl. Since most people understand very little about nuclear power, the [...]
Read MoreEnter Obamacare Video Contest for Chance at $5k
Independent Women’s Voice, a sister organization of Independent Women’s Forum, is sponsoring an Obamacare video contest. If you are a budding filmmaker with conservative persuasions, this contest is for you. At IWV, we believe the health care law passed last year takes our country in the wrong direction by putting government bureaucrats in charge of [...]
Read MoreWI Unions vs. Les Miserables
This afternoon, I stumbled on this video of Wisconsin Union protesters singing “Do You Hear the People Sing” from the musical Les Miserables. Aside from making your ears bleed (this is a confusing song to ask a crowd of people to sing!), this seemed rather ironic. (If you want to hear a good recording of [...]
