The Republican Party has a history of using desperate times to call for drastic measures and when bailing out AIG, bolstering Medicare or bombing Iraq, that party has always been willing to go big and bold on some of the largest government expansions in this nation’s history. But what about cutting government? You know, that [...]

There are actually very few neoconservative purists, though their influence remains large and of course-their enthusiasm for war insatiable. When Bill Clinton was bombing Kosovo for no good reason in the 1990s, the neoconservatives stood with that Democrat president and against many in the Republican Party who generally agreed with talk host Sean Hannity, who [...]
When it came to light that Christine O’Donnell said in 1999 that she “dabbled into witchcraft” as a teenager, Delaware’s Republican nominee for US Senate immediately reminded me of a girl I used to date. Hungry for attention, this girl would make up all kinds of crazy stories–stuff that would put O’Donnell’s witchery to shame–and [...]

When the United States invaded Iraq in 2003, Iraqi Information Minister Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf quickly became known as “Baghdad Bob” by declaring on Iraqi television that Saddam Hussein’s military brigades were successfully turning back the invading forces. During the same time the U.S. was handily dominating Iraq militarily, Bob told Iraqis that “We slaughtered them [...]

Jack Hunter and fellow WTMA radio host Richard Todd interviewed a frequent target of their criticism, Sen. Lindsey Graham, last week. The full interview is here. Below is a highlight — an exchange between Richard, Jack, and Senator Graham on foreign policy, earmarks, Ron Paul, and more:
Glenn Beck is better than most nationally syndicated talk hosts. While right-wing radio mainstays Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity offer little more than Republican talking points, Beck regularly eschews such hackery, instead warning of the “progressivism” that exists in both parties or even the perils of blind partisanship. It’s hard even to fathom Limbaugh or [...]
