Morning Briefing
For February 4, 2014
In Kentucky, Matt Bevin Polls Better Than Mitch McConnell Against the Democrat
Here’s a fact — Mitch McConnell polls badly
in Kentucky. He has been in Washington since 1985. Kentuckians, like
everybody else, are tired of Washington. So Kentucky has tired of Mitch
McConnell. In fact, there may be no incumbent Republican Senator more
vulnerable this year than Mitch McConnell. He stays in the race because
of pride. Any other Republican with his polling would be shown the door
by . . . well . . . Mitch McConnell.
If the GOP does not gain the Senate in 2014,
it will probably be because they lose Kentucky. They only lose Kentucky
if Mitch McConnell is the Republican nominee. New non-partisan polling
bears this out. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

Farm Bill is Comprehensively Flawed
Last
week, only 63House Republicans had the gumption to vote against the
Farm Bill, the latest in a series of policy victories for the left. Later today the Senate will be voting on cloture. If you plan to call your senators and voice opposition to the bill, here are some points to keep in mind . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Existence, Fact, and Faith
Rarely
do I ask for forgiveness before delving into an off topic piece here at
RedState. I often write about faith and religion, but never so
specifically and outside the lines as this. But I have noticed a trend
lately. A great many loud atheists have decided Jesus never existed. He
was a figment of the imagination — a great conspiracy. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Ohio Gov. John Kasich Wants to Redefine Conservatism
“I have a right to shape what conservative
philosophy means,” Ohio Governor John Kasich told reporters when asked

to conservative voters. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Reflections of a Big Government skeptic
I think liberty is a genuinely fascinating concept, far more difficult in execution than concept. Just about every American would nod enthusiastically if asked whether liberty is a good thing. (A
dismaying portion of the remaining Western world would not agree
reflexively that liberty is an absolute good, whose preservation is the
highest duty of lawful and just governments.) The
Founding Fathers of the United States did such a good job of crafting
the Constitution that it reads like a declaration of obvious truth, the
sort of thing humanity should have noticed a thousand years ago… which,
of course, was the point of the exercise, since the task at hand was to
recognize the God-given rights of every citizen. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
