Scott Brown, Barack Obama, and the Politics of Change

Republicans nationally had reason to celebrate Tuesday last week when Scott Brown did what seemed impossible not long ago; captured a Senate seat not held by a member of the GOP since Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. The Massachusetts special election on January nineteenth of this year had all of the hallmarks of the Barack Obama campaign from [...]

Onward and Upward: Building a Sustainable Majority

This week has been a great one for conservatives across the nation.  Scott Brown’s victory proved that, in the words of the increasingly vulnerable Barbara Boxer, “Every state is now in play.”  His victory also demonstrated that Republicans can achieve many of the successes that led to Barack Obama becoming the 44th President of the [...]

The Next Generation of Conservatism is Here- CampusReform.org

Hey guys,
You may have noticed I’ve been a little absent lately, but rest assured- I’ve been hard at work, helping put together a fantastic resource which could very well revolutionize how conservative college students interact and organize online. CampusReform.org is a comprehensive social networking site for conservative students, with elaborate subsites for every 4-year college [...]

Follow-up: Washington Post Diminishes its Credibility Further.

This very blog mere days ago noted that the real scandal surrounding the “Mouthpiece Theatre” video entitled “Menage a Stella Artois” wasn’t what was said about the present U.S. Secretary of State, but, rather, the double standard of the contemporary American Left when it comes to humor. At that time, it was known that the [...]

Leftward Opposition to Criticizing Democratic Officials Threatens Their Congressional Majority

A new week brought a new episode of The Washington Post’s “Mouthpiece Theatre” Friday. In a time when newspapers are waning, features such as this Milbank/Cillizza collaboration provide a refreshing perspective on humorous news commentary. These web savvy WaPo contributors routinely skewer the left and right with their biting commentary.
The series, as the name suggests, [...]

Rethinking the Cybersecurity Czar

I initially supported President Obama’s decision to create a cybersecurity czar position.  Before, the work had been done by the Department of Homeland Security, but internal wrangling over territory proved it ineffective.  Private networks could be secured under their jurisdiction, but security for public infrastructure was held on to tooth and nail by the NSA.  [...]

By now, you should have seen Aaron’s post about the Petition for Our Future, where we’re asking you to submit your name in a petition for Chairman Steele to expand the role of young voters in the GOP. Now, I’d like you guys to take this one step further, and make this viral. Go to your [...]

Examining Obama’s Online Campaign

Another in-depth look at the 2008 election, this time with a specific emphasis on Barack Obama’s social networking campaign online. This research project reflects the historical perspective I included in my previous project, but here, specifically emphasizes on what made Obama’s social network camapaigning so effective. Hopefully we can take these lessons and make the [...]

Alternative Energy Without the Hippies

The Obama administration claims to support nuclear energy as part of the growing national infrastructure. However, political convenience has left that support on the chopping block every time it has been in play. The stimulus bill included funding for nuclear plant accident insurance to targeted communities, but it was one of the first [...]

Candidate Obama, Meet President Obama

Foreword: My class at Tulane with James Carville has probably been one of the best experiences of my college career. Between the guests and the sheer experience of spending time with one of the best political consultants of our time, its been an amazing and memorable semester so far, and it looks to be getting [...]
