Margaret Thatcher was the ultimate conservative woman in politics. She is credited with saving Great Britain using conservative principles and relying on her strong personal attributes of confidence in her beliefs and feeling a duty to save her country. She is a hero to many conservatives, including me. It is rare to find an unwavering…

It is a small amount, relatively speaking, of their salaries. Also, all of those stepping forward to make the gesture for publicity to shame the GOP for sequester are multi-millionaires, except for Janet Napolitano, so it isn't taking food off their tables. What strikes me is when Democrats, who always are talking about 'fairness' in…

GOP Releases Growth and Opportunity Project

Monday, March 18, 2013 from http://ponderingpenguin.blogspot.com/ If you don't have the time or patience to read all 100 pages online of the GOP's Growth and Opportunity Project, here is a concise twelve point breakdown : 1. Inclusiveness The Republican Party is for all Americans, regardless of race, religion, sex or ethnicity. 2. Diversity The Grand (New)…

I don't think the CPAC straw poll means too much, especially this far out from 2016. I think Rand Paul is the flavor of the month thanks to his filibuster - which was wonderful! - and has learned from his father how to play the straw poll game. I am not a Santorum fan and…

From all I've heard about Pope Francis, I think this is an excellent choice. I'm not Catholic but I did survive all-girls Catholic high school, so I've seen some of Catholic life. Pope Francis is from an important part of the world for the church. 50% of Catholics are now living in Hispanic/Latino countries. He…

This action is part of my blog post on the petulant president. He actually wants the American people to feel as much pain during this politician-made crisis. He shows himself to be a very small man. Shutting down the White House tours was a petty, spiteful action. He wants to punish the average tourist/student group/family…

I don't know what is happening with CPAC. Not just Christie was snubbed. Also Dr. Benjamin Carson, a true emerging voice for conservatives, as witnessed with his appearance at the National Prayer Breakfast recently. And, the exclusion of GOProud from sponsorship opportunities or participation. CPAC is rapidly becoming of less and less importance. It seems…

I expect Romney will be thoughtful and polite, as is his nature. I doubt he'll do much navel gazing and probably won't point a finger at those who failed him in his campaign. Generally speaking, Romney is a class act and I expect he will be in the future, too.

I find it amusing that it took a golf game in Florida for the WH press to finally get frustrated enough with this president to cry foul! After four plus years of very limited press exposure with this president, instead of bringing their frustration to the public, as they certainly would with a Republican in…

Voter fraud is alive and well in our elections but the extent to which it affects elections is uncertain. I support True the Vote here in Houston: http://www.truethevote.org/ who have awakened a national conversation on voter fraud. In close elections, it can be the difference in victory or defeat. Hearings are welcome in any state with evidence…
