Morning Briefing
For June 17, 2014
Principle Over ProfitsYesterday at the New York Meeting, a gathering of conservatives in New York, Haley Barbour said the GOP’s goal should not be purity. He also praised Eric Cantor.
There is a great disconnect in the political press and among politicians like Haley Barbour over the endgame of conservatives in America. It is not actually about purity for the sake of purity. It never has been. What it has been about is getting people into office who mean what they say and say what they mean. It has, in other words, been about putting men and women in office who put principle about profit. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

Temporarily, to be sure.
“The White House is considering sending a small number of American special forces soldiers to Iraq in an urgent attempt to help the government in Baghdad slow the nation’s rampant Sunni insurgency, U.S. officials said Monday.” . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
What All the Partisanship Narratives Forget
Ron Fournier at National Journal, among others, has been wringing his hands over the latest Pew research on partisanship. The research shows a growing gap between left and right.
Naturally, a lot of scholars and members of the media are blaming conservatives because the scholars and members of the media are more ideologically aligned with the left. Some admit it. Most think that where they’ve planted their flag is called Moderateville and these conservatives are icky, fringe disrupters intent on anarchy and theocracy.
In reading a lot of commentary on the Pew study and pieces like Ron Fournier’s latest, I find a common missing element. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Obama to reward a state sponsor of terrorism for committing terrorism

Department of Veterans Affairs is Concerned About the Ocean
The Department of Veterans Affairs is bogged down in a scandal. That scandal is getting worse. So what does the VA do?
It takes to Twitter to solve the crisis.
Only that crisis is not the scandal. That crisis is the oceans. Seriously. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Big business is afraid of conservatives– and they should be
With the political demise of Eric Cantor at the hands of a virtually unknown economics professor and senile porkmeister Thad Cochran on life support the business community is looking under its collective bed for bogeymen and they have found it: the conservative movement. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Rep. Lamborn Campaigns on Military and Veterans, But Skips Committee Meetings
Voting in the Republican primary for the Colorado’s 5th Congressional District has already begun, and after a late start, Rep. Doug Lamborn is up on the air attacking his opponent rather than telling us all the great things he has done for the 5th District.
It doesn’t surprise me that Lamborn has decided his only chance at winning this primary is to drag his opponent through the mud. Lamborn’s record is lackluster, his Heritage Score has dropped significantly since his re-election. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper is Lying
Embattled Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper is having some buyer’s remorse on the gun control legislation he and his party foisted upon the people of Colorado. These laws resulted in the historic recall elections last year that ousted the sitting Senate President and an up an coming female Democrat from the liberal stronghold of Pueblo, as well as a resignation from State Senator Evie Hudak. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Democrats Not Sure What Flag Is Celebrated On Flag Day
On Flag Day, the Democrats twitter feed sent out a photo to, one assumes, celebrate and honor the day. There was only one slight, tiny, no big deal little problem with the flag. It wasn’t ours. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Gary Palmer for Alabama
There are races in Alabama headed into runoffs. One of those is Gary Palmer in Alabama’s 6th congressional district. Gary was my second choice in the primary. My first choice blew himself up. Gary ran a far better campaign and made it to the runoff.
Here’s all you need to know about Gary — he will tell his own side no and there are no guarantees that the other guy will. As House Republicans rally quickly to claim Eric Cantor’s loss was an anomaly and they move rapidly to consolidate behind the even more liberal Kevin McCarthy, Gary Palmer will be willing to stand up to his own leadership and tell them no. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
The Vine
Planned Parenthood targeting teenagers is not news for anyone that keeps up with the agenda of the abortion giant. As The Vine has covered previously, Planned Parenthood seeks access to schools to begin their “education” as early as Kindergarten; with the eventual goal of being there for the inevitable abortions they’ve convinced children they need. What exactly they say to students has been a bit of a mystery. We thought we could reasonably guess until Live Action released their latest undercover operation, which is nothing less than shocking. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
