CNN continues to Smear Ron Paul
Whether it is that they fundamentally do not understand his positions or are simply pushing an agenda because they disagree with him: CNN continues to smear Ron Paul. They are smearing him for his position that he thought that AIDS victims contributed to their own misery by the lifestyle they led, and other such positions that suggest people take personal responsibility.

Dancing with the Stars Controversy
Some conservative christian groups are making hay over the fact that a transgender individual will appear on this season's dancing with the stars. Lewis Black wonders why a transgendered person is so controversial and not all of the convicted felons that have been on the show.

Coburn's Comprimise
Senator Coburn from Oklahoma is as bona fide a fiscal conservative as they come. Some have gone as far to say that he was the tea party before the tea party came into existence. Now that he and the "gang of six" are trying to broker a debt limit deficit reduction compromise many conservatives are hailing him as being a RINO (republican in name only).
Reagan said of compromise "When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it."Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything"."I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.'"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.

Conscience of a Conservative by Barry Goldwater
Conscience of a Conservative
by Barry Goldwater is a fantastic argument for conservative principles. It is a good read for anyone. He explores the core tenets of conservatism and their implications on society at large, instead of looking at specific conservative policies.
