America’s Energy Policy Amounts To Treason

Posted on October 28th, 2009 by macaoidh

…aired perhaps the greatest political speech in American history.

An Andrew Klavan Reprise…

Posted on October 23rd, 2009 by macaoidh

The Andrew Klavan On The Culture videos courtesy of PJTV are a gold mine of conservative analysis, but they’re also damn entertaining. If you’re not familiar with the series, here’s a sample:

Posted on October 9th, 2009 by macaoidh
