Biggest Bonehead Political Move of 2005 Chris Mintz’ defection to the Democrat Party by Frank Williams -- December 14, 2005 Last week, someone I have known for quite some time made one of the most bizarre political moves I have seen during my more than ten years as a Republican activist. Chris Mintz, a Raleigh resident who was Chairman of the Wake County Republican Men’s Club for part of this year, earns my nod for the Biggest Bonehead Political Move of 2005. The fact that I served as Vice Chairman of the Wake County Republican Men’s Club until Chris’ abrupt...

VETERANS’ DAY How liberals do defy the mind For nothing in theirs’ can we find, That willingly will look with reason At how their man committed treason, Skulked off to Paris this effete To grovel at the Madame’s feet, Betraying his sworn officer’s oath To become the turncoat we so loathe.

OUR OPINION: Make excellence a 'black thing' Cynthia Tucker - Staff Sunday, November 2, 2003 If I were a high school student with lackluster SATs, I'd take no comfort from those who defend my mediocre academic work accomplishment as an unfortunate characteristic of my race.

I'd be embarrassed by black lawmakers who threaten to go to court to protect my right to receive HOPE, even though my scores don't measure...

The American Marxists are starting their 2004 presidential campaigns, and have unleashed their talking points to try and soundbite blast Bush out of office. I suggest conservatives use a particular strategy to counter these talking points, that is very similar in nature to the ProtestWarrior signs and shirts - simply deliver a withering counterpoint in an Coulter-esque soundbite that either shames or humiliates the liberal slogan spouter. In the case of 'the glass is half-empty', we need to counter with 'the glass is half-full'. Some examples: Bush is an Idiot/Chimp/etcHe's a fighter pilot and a Harvard MBA! Who's the idiot...
