For March 12, 2014
Judgment and Leadership
Charlie Crist, now running as a Democrat for Governor of Florida, could be a United States Senator.
Trey Grayson, now working for a super PAC to elect Democrats, could be a United States Senator too.
Bob Bennett, who joined Democrats to come up with a federal individual mandate, could still be a United States Senator.
Arlen Specter, who recently passed away, could have died still a sitting United States Senator.
David Dewhurst, the moderate to liberal Republican Lieutenant Governor of Texas now struggling to stay elected after a conservative wave through the Lone Star State, could be a Senator.
All of these men were supported by Mitch McConnell either openly or behind the scenes. All of these men are the men McConnell wanted to surround himself with. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

Bitcoin creates slavery, because Bitcoin is anarchy.
No really, it is a tool to create an anarchic economy. It’s not like cash or gold. Cash and gold are anonymous and free, but are also tangible things. They exist as physical tokens in the real world.

Dr. Carson’s prescription for gun control
Dr. Ben Carson came in third on the CPAC straw poll for president, making him the not-Paul not-Cruz winner. Not to sound flippant, but that’s a significant position, since the top two spots were pretty much pre-ordained. Run through a mental list of all the folks Dr. Carson beat out for that bronze medal, and you can see why it matters, even if you don’t place a huge amount of faith in straw polls this far out from the election. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Ted Cruz: Government has to Stop Saddling our Children with Debt
In case you missed it, Senator Ted Cruz held a Bloggers’ Briefing last Wednesday at CPAC 2014. RedState Editor Caleb Howe was privileged to attend this wearing his hat as a writer for the site The Right Scoop. While there, he captured this gem of a response from Cruz to a question about what the government, including the Senator himself, can do for America’s children. His response is one that gets to one of the most fundamental goals of American conservatism: making sure our children live in a better country than we did. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
