I beg your pardon

I got a call last week intended to rouse me from my present preoccupation long enough to post a note of explanation here at Loyal to Liberty with respect to the weeks that have elapsed since my last post.
The hiatus began with a period of travel to election related and other events before the 2010 [...]

Mehlman’s gay outing reveals real GOP charade

Reflecting on Ken Mehlman’s revelation that he has been and is a practicing homosexual, I found myself thinking of Penelope, the wife of Homer’s Ulysses.  After the Greek victory over the Trojans, he took the long way home, so long in fact that his family pretty much gave him up for dead.  Penelope found herself [...]

Palin drops the other shoe

Recently I ran across a video interview in which Sarah Palin enthusiastically declares “I support Michael Steele…I think he’s doing a great job. Michael Steele is an outsider. The machine, I think, is tough to penetrate–I think it’s been good to have an independent outsider trying to create some [...]

The RNC’s dilemma-Steele or the true Republic

Given the ‘money-is-god’ priorities lurking behind the supposed political pragmatism of the forces still in control of the GOP, it’s not surprising that some are now openly seeking the resignation of RNC chair Michael Steele on account of what they see as his liberal abuse of contributors’ money.  They rightly understand the incongruity of such [...]

Gingrich and the GOP’s destructive, crypto-leftist moderates

The headline reads “Newt Gingrich warns of ‘destructive’ GOP primaries”.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich predicted disaster for his party if the conservative wing of the GOP continues to field independent candidates to the right of the party’s nominee. “If we get into a cycle where there are tea parties and there are conservative third-party candidates, [...]

NY 23- Orgy of self-seeking reveals GOP void of statesmanship

This entry is part 3 of 9 in the series Without Representation

This entry is part 3 of 9 in the series Without Representation 
With the withdrawal of Dede Scozzafava from contention in the special election in NY’s 23rd Congressional District, we see a clear result of implementing Michael Steele’s infamous 80/20 approach to candidate selection. Grassroots conservatives still hampered by their allegiance to the Republican Party need [...]

Steele and the GOP- No Reason for Victory

The name of Abraham Lincoln is used and abused a good deal these days. Despite his overt rejection of the principles Lincoln strove to preserve, Obama has tried to portray himself as Lincoln’s heir (probably to make up for his lack of any real connection to the heritage that includes the struggle against slavery, so [...]

Steele Slips Again, But America Should not Fall for it

Once again we are supposed to believe that Michael Steele had a slip of the tongue. This time in an Interview with GQ magazine which included the following exchange:

“The choice issue cuts two ways. You can choose life, or you can choose abortion,” he said. “My mother chose life. So [...]

House Divided: GOP’s Leadership Crisis Sharper than Steele

Some people, now including a National Committeewoman from North Carolina, have expressed the view that Michael Steele is unfit to be leader of the RNC. I think this assessment is only partially correct. What is left unsaid of course is that the GOP is unfit to claim leadership of the conservative base that [...]

Can Bunning Make Good on Resignation Threat?

Jim Bunning (R, Ky.) is one of the most conservative members of the United States Senate. Unlike so many who wear the conservative label to get votes, but betray conservatives when called upon to vote, Bunning stands tall on issues like the defense of innocent life, the preservation of the natural family, and the [...]
