The war on Wisconsin
By Michelle Malkin
Now is the time for all good tea partiers to come to the aid of Wisconsin. Fiscally conservative leaders in the Badger State are under coordinated siege from Big Labor, the White House, the liberal media and the judiciary.

Posted by Erick Erickson
Yesterday the left descended into madness. The madness came early in the day. It happened shortly after 10 o’clock in the morning.

Kent Conrad’s Budget Folly
Posted by Daniel Horowitz
Paul Ryan is set to release the details of the House Republican budget resolution tomorrow. While liberals, conservatives, tea partiers, etc. will have plenty to say about the content of the budget, we must all acknowledge that Ryan has worked assiduously to formulate a coherent blueprint for a responsible budget. The same cannot be said for his counterpart in the Senate.

Posted by Lori Ziganto
The quotes are just the very tip (and cleanest for a family site) of the iceberg of what Conservative women face in the political arena. Michelle Malkin did a great job highlighting some of the worst in her column this week ‘The War on Conservative Women“. Conservative women seeking political office are heretics, you see. How dare they stray off the Lefty plantation? For that, they must pay. And be punished.

Phony Divide Between Fiscal and Social Issues
By Phyllis Schlafly
Contrary to politicians who want to call a truce about social issues, there is absolutely no way to separate social and fiscal issues; they are locked in a tight political embrace. Politicians who say we can ignore social issues or avoid talking about them, are really saying that they have no plan to cut federal spending and the growing national debt.

By Gary L. Bauer
Conservatives are mourning the unexpected passing of journalist Andrew Breitbart. I had the pleasure of speaking at a pro-life event with Andrew at CPAC.
