Yesterday, we discussed that the Obama Campaign’s allocation of funds and resources indicated that they are panicking, using scarce resources in places that a democrat incumbent should never have to defend this late in the game. Today, however, even more indications of collapse and impending doom came to light. Reason for Panic 1: Dwindling Crowds at Obama Events… In a related presidential campaign rally in Commerce City, Colorado, former President Bill Clinton was the designated cheerleader to speak to the gathered faithful. However, the rally, held at a Commerce City High School, wasn’t “optimal,” to use a phrase from President Obama. The school extended the [...]

Media Distrust at an all-time High: A Look Inside the Numbers
What happens when a poll is taken showing the level of trust in the media? We see a clue to the outcome in november. The Rand Paul Review has the following, from Gallup… More broadly, Republicans continue to express the least trust in the media, while Democrats express the most. Independents’ trust fell below the majority level in 2004 and has continued to steadily decline. OK then, we see that the Democrats in the sample trust the media to the tune of 58%. That is predictable, as the media cheer leads for the Democrats. Also, we see the Republican figure is remarkably low, at [...]
Tea Parties, Libertarians and, Paulites: America’s Only Hope
Approximately a year ago, I opined in a post here at CoF that Conservatives and Libertarians should join forces. I argued that the areas where the two factions agree were more important than the areas of disagreement. Off and on since then, I have engaged with several conservative and libertarian bloggers to see if I could drum up some interest in pursuing a dialog on the fusion of the two groups. I was disappointed to find very little interest. The majority if both camps wanted nothing to do with the other. I was reminded of this sad fact by a comment on one of my posts last [...]
What Went Wrong with the American Experiment and When?
A very important question, wouldn’t you agree? It’s a question that in one form or another has been the focus of many posts on the blogosphere for a long time. Recently, one of my regulars on Guest Saturday have taken-on this question; Brian at Frankenstein Government in his post “Critical Mass…When Exactly Did We Lose Control of Our Country” addresses the question directly. I want to share this article with you not because the author is a collaborator here at Conservatives On Fire but because I found his approach to this important question very interesting and I hope you will as well. The first [...]
The Demographics Hold: Conservatives on the Rise
Last year, I covered that there is a “Demographic of Doom” for the Democratic Party. Basically, the people politically identified as ‘Conservatives” vastly outnumbered those identified as “liberal,” and equaled those identified as “moderate or independent.” This is what I had to say back then. Recent polls have shown that America is beginning to move to the right, with 40% claiming to be Conservative, 21% liberal, and 38% “moderate.” With nearly a 2-1 margin, Conservatives might see this as a cause for celebration. This has happened before- people do turn more conservative when there are difficult economic times. It might [...]
