Buckley's Slam-Dunk of Obama

Friends, I have a very personal article today on my political mentor, William F. Buckley, Jr. One of his last articles before his death was a highly perceptive piece entitled, 'Inside Obama.'

This is classic Buckley. And my commentary about it is at Columbia Conservative Examiner.

As a bonus feature I have included a special section entitled, 'Memories of Buckley,' as I recount some of my fondest memories of a man who taught me many lessons about conservatism and life in general. It is a very personal, brief memoir. I hope you will read it.

Should Governor Sanford Resign?

With the New York Times calling for the resignation of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, it is imperative that we consider some deeper issues at play.

For a more balanced perspective, read my latest at Columbia Conservative Examiner.

They who live in glass houses should cast no stones. And in this case we must remember that Sanford has been a stellar example of fiscal conservatism.

10 Key Conservative Principles

What does it mean to be a political conservative in today's America? What does the term 'conservative' mean from a modern political point of view?

Confusion seems to be rampant concerning the meaning of the term, such as the tendency by some to refer to John McCain, Lindsey Graham, or Arlen Specter as 'conservative.'

Thus, I offer 10 Key Conservative Principles as the subject of my Sunday column at Columbia Conservative Examiner.

Take a look, tell a friend, spread the word, and comment if you wish on the site...even if you disagree with some of my assertions.

Thanks!
