Clarification:

Depends on who the guest host is....My favorite in Ingraham. Least favorite is probably a tie between Gutfeld and Williams. Gutfeld hasn’t convinced me yet that he’s real. I don’t mind hearing his liberal views; I just think that he’s not comfortable in his own shoes.

A warrior died today, Onyx.

WWII Vet Lloyd ‘Jack’ Unger passed away at 91 years old. Signing up right after Pearl Harbor, Jack served through the entire war and nearly 2 years afterwards. Reaching the rank of Chief Petty Officer, Jack was a staunch supporter of our troops and a true credit to the greatest generation. Having the distinction of serving on one of the vessels deployed to Yalta in support of the Big Three Conference in Feb 1945, nearly 70 years ago, Jack was privileged to actually witness Stalin in his motorcade. A close friend, assigned to the honor detail during negotiations, said that Stalin insisted on vodka and toasting. FDR inked an agreement dividing up the world when stone cold drunk is Jack’s story...on the authority of a best friend.

Jack served in both theaters on minesweepers, small wooden hulls, guaranteed to turn your stomach and invigorate your adrenalin.

To Jack Unger: You were solid brother. A solid Christian. A solid husband and father. A solid defender of our great nation. We salute you, Jack.

Which should tell you all you need to know about Scott Walker.

If the Progressive Liberal Romney has chosen you over Ted Cruz, you know you will not be the first choice of conservatives.

Furthermore, there is a straight line of logic between a potential endorsement of Romney, and acceptance by the Chamber of Commerce and the GOP-E, which means at least general support for Amnesty.

Really, I didn't know it was constitutionally possible to be VP after Cruz serves two terms as President?!

Where is that written in the constitution??

The only one I trust is Sarah....I would vote for Scott Walker.....he has walked the walk in a blue state.....and knows how to win an election....We have never had a good President who has been Senator....Hell we have had only one good President. In the last 65 years....after the first Bush we should have started a third party...The GOP is a waste of time and money..

Walker's not taking anyone. As the debates unroll and it becomes clear to the rest of the voting public that he believes in an open border and Amnesty, he will be toast.

I understand what you are saying though, given Rubio's support for Amnesty, they are Sympatico!

So, James Madison and John Quincy Adams were bad Presidents? Are you sure you are a conservative?

James Monroe:

He was of French and Scottish descent. Born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, Monroe was of the planter class and fought in the American Revolutionary War. He was wounded in the Battle of Trenton with a musket ball to his shoulder. After studying law under Thomas Jefferson from 1780 to 1783, he served as a delegate in the Continental Congress. As an anti-federalist delegate to the Virginia convention that considered ratification of the United States Constitution, Monroe opposed ratification, claiming it gave too much power to the central government. He took an active part in the new government, and in 1790 he was elected to the Senate of the first United States Congress, where he joined the Jeffersonians. He gained experience as an executive as the Governor of Virginia and rose to national prominence as a diplomat in France, when he helped negotiate the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. During the War of 1812, Monroe held the critical roles of Secretary of State and the Secretary of War under President James Madison.[2]

Facing little opposition from the fractured Federalist Party, Monroe was easily elected president in 1816, winning over 80 percent of the electoral vote and becoming the last president during the First Party System era of American politics. As president, he bought Florida from Spain and sought to ease partisan tensions, embarking on a tour of the country that was generally well received. With the ratification of the Treaty of 1818, under the successful diplomacy of his Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, the United States extended from the Atlantic to the Pacific, giving America harbor and fishing rights in the Pacific Northwest. The United States and Britain jointly occupied the Oregon Country. In addition to the acquisition of Florida, the landmark Treaty of 1819 secured the border of the United States along the 42nd Parallel to the Pacific Ocean and represented America's first determined attempt at creating an "American global empire".[3] As nationalism surged, partisan fury subsided and the "Era of Good Feelings" ensued until the Panic of 1819 struck and dispute over the admission of Missouri embroiled the country in 1820. Nonetheless, Monroe won near-unanimous reelection.

Monroe supported the founding of colonies in Africa for free African Americans that would eventually form the nation of Liberia, whose capital, Monrovia, is named in his honor. In 1823, he announced the United States' opposition to any European intervention in the recently independent countries of the Americas with the Monroe Doctrine, which became a landmark in American foreign policy. His presidency concluded the first period of American presidential history before the beginning of Jacksonian democracy and the Second Party System era. Following his retirement in 1825, Monroe was plagued by financial difficulties. He died in New York City on July 4, 1831.


John Quincy Adams -

As president he sought to modernize the American economy and promote education. Adams enacted a part of his agenda and paid off much of the national debt.[7] However he was stymied time and again by a Congress controlled by his enemies, and his lack of patronage networks helped politicians eager to undercut him. He lost his 1828 bid for re-election to Andrew Jackson. Adams is best known as a diplomat who shaped America's foreign policy in line with his ardently nationalist commitment to America's republican values. More recently, he has been portrayed as the exemplar and moral leader in an era of modernization. During Adams' lifetime, technological innovations and new means of communication spread messages of religious revival, social reform, and party politics. Goods, money, and people traveled more rapidly and efficiently than ever before.[8]


If you are going to post an opinion like that, you might want to check your history first.


To date, sixteen senators have also served as president of the United States. Three senators, Warren G. Harding, John F. Kennedy, and Barack Obama moved directly from the U.S. Senate to the White House.

I hope to vote for Cruz. I am not interested in anyone else other than Palin and I don’t think she’s going to run.

In a perfect world, we would bring President George Washington back to life and reset this entire experiment.

you realize TCruz is the candidate the left wants the right to get behind, right? they want us to put all our eggs in that specific basket... and just after the convention, they will file a motion to remove him from the ballot due to eligibility issues. at which point, he will be removed as obviously not eligible... and the right will have the wind sucked right out of their sails going into the election
