It has gone from a minority party with little influence to one that is broad and inclusive, self-assured and optimistic, forward-leaning and dominant." 01-06 -02-03-06 Republicans Campaign Against "Borrow-and-Spend" Republicans (Bloomberg.com) "Richard Tarrant's campaign Web site flashes a running tally of the national debt as a protest, he says, of the ``borrow-and-spend Republicans'' in Washington." "Tarrant is a Republican. He's also a candidate for Vermont's open U.S. Senate seat and among a group of party insurgents who want Republicans to reconcile their stated philosophy of fiscal restraint with the spending binge they've led over the past five years. The debt ticker is at $8.199 trillion and counting." 02-06 -02-26-06 South Dakota About to Pass Anti-Abortion Law (MSNBC News) "A direct attack on Roe v. Wade is coming from the South Dakota legislature. The new bill, which outlaws abortion, makes no exceptions, not for a pregnancy caused by incest or rape. It would only be legal—the only exception if it would save the pregnant woman's life." "Doctors who perform abortions could face up to five years in prison." 02-06 -02-27-08 Conservative William F. Buckley Jr. Dies (CNN News) "Buckley's writings are widely credited for supporting the growth of the U.S. conservative movement in the latter half of the 20th century." Also see William F. Buckley. 2-08 -05-10-06 Polls: Conservatives Fleeing Bush (MSNBC News) "Disaffection over spending and immigration have caused conservatives to take flight from President Bush and the Republican Congress at a rapid pace in recent weeks, sending Bush's approval ratings to record lows and presenting a new threat to the GOP's 12-year reign on Capitol Hill, according to White House officials, lawmakers and new polling data." 05-06 -05-24-06 Editorial: Bush's Immigration Proposal Divides Conservatives (Bloomberg.com) "Why the divergence and vehemence of opinion? The answer, analysts say, is the issue has become a test for a conservative movement unsure of its identity at a time when its leaders have presided over an era of exploding deficits and expanding government." "Jeff Bell, an anti-abortion activist and former adviser to Presidents Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon, said the divide in the conservative movement reflects 'two different impulses at work: one that sees America as fundamentally a nation of immigrants, and one that fears outside forces are eroding our values.' " 05-06 -06-13-05 Conservatives Now Oppose the Patriot Act (WashingtonTimes.com) "Former Rep. Bob Barr, who led conservative efforts to impeach President Clinton, is leading a group called "Patriots to Restore Checks and Balances" that is focused exclusively on opposing the renewal of the Patriot Act." "The effort also has the enthusiastic support of three of the most influential conservatives in Washington, Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform, David Keene of the American Conservative Union and Phyllis Schlafly of the Eagle Forum." 6-05 -06-14-05 Christian Conservatives Behind Broad Political Positions (USA Today) "Many evangelical Christians got involved in politics because of a single issue: abortion." "Evangelicals' engagement on a wider range of issues and their willingness to forge surprising coalitions reflect the growing maturity and sophistication of the most powerful emerging force in American politics today." 6-05 -06-15-05 House Blocks Portion of Patriot Act (ABC News) "In a slap at President Bush, lawmakers voted Wednesday to block the Justice Department and the FBI from using the Patriot Act to peek at library records and bookstore sales slips." 6-05 -07-05-06 U.S. Foreign Policy Landscape Is Bleak (MSNBC News) "From deteriorating security in Afghanistan and Somalia to mayhem in the Middle East, confrontation with Iran and eroding relations with Russia, the White House suddenly sees crisis in every direction." " 'North Korea is firing missiles. Iran is going nuclear. Somalia is controlled by radical Islamists. Iraq isn't getting better, and Afghanistan is getting worse,' said William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard and a leading conservative commentator. 'I give the president a lot of credit for hanging tough on Iraq. But I am worried that it has made them too passive in confronting the other threats.' " 07-06 -09-14-07 Most Popular Conservative Journalists (US News) "If you're a George Will fan, and it seems that most of us are, then this won't be a surprise. Media Matters, the progressive media watchdog, finds that he's the king of newspaper columnists. In its list of the top 100 columnists, he leads with his column published in 368 papers with a total circulation of 26,178,378. But you'd be wrong if you guessed David Broder, Ellen Goodman, or Cal Thomas as the second-most-circulated columnist." 09-07 -Cal Thomas, Conservative Syndicated Columnist (CalThomas.com) "Cal Thomas is a conservative American syndicated columnist and author syndicated in over 550 newspapers and is heard on over 300 radio stations." 09-07 -Charles Krauthammer, Conservative Syndicated Columnist (Washington Post) Krauthammer is one of the most popular conservative syndicated columnists in the United States. 09-07 -David Brooks, Conservative Syndicated Columnist (Washington Post) Krauthammer is one of the most popular conservative syndicated columnists in the United States. 09-07 -Editorial: Checks and Balances on the President During Wartime (The New Republic.com - Levy) "The executive branch has declared itself to be the sole legitimate judge of the scope of its own authority during wartime--even in the domestic arena, even when the subject matter permits congressional and judicial participation, and even when Congress has already acted. Each of the other assertions of power over the past several years suddenly seems dramatically more ominous against the background of this rejection of separation of powers. It's legally conceivable that the president has the authority to detain suspected unlawful combatants during wartime. But if the executive is the sole judge of whether that position is constitutionally correct, then the separation of powers doctrine at the heart of the American constitutional order is in serious jeopardy." 01-06 -Editorial: Death of Habeas Corpus (MSNBC News - Keith Olbermann) Congress passed a law that now allows the President, on his own, to decide who is an enemy. This law is a clear violation of basic rights according to legal scholars, such as Senator Arlen Specter, Chairman of the Judicial Committee of Congress. Keith Olbermann notes, "The reality is without habeas corpus, a lot of other rights lose their meaning. But if you look at the actual Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments of that pesky Constitution, you’ll see just how many remain for your protection." "So as you can see, even without habeas corpus, at least one tenth of the Bill of Rights, I guess that’s the Bill of Right, now—remains virtually intact. No. 3 is still safe." "We can rest easy knowing that we will never, ever have to quarter soldiers in our homes as long as the third amendment still stands strong." 10-06 -Kathleen Parker's Column Conservative Journalists (Orlando Sentinel) Kathleen Parker is one of the most popular conservative journalists in the United States. 09-07 -Morton Kondracke, Conservative Syndicated Columnist (Wikipedia.org) "Morton M. Kondracke (born April 28, 1939) is an American political commentator and journalist. He currently serves as executive editor and columnist for the independent Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call. He is also co-host of The Beltway Boys on Fox News Channel and a regular nightly contributor on Special Report with Brit Hume." 09-07 05-08-03 Bush Pushes for Conservative Judges (USAToday.com - Biskupic) "Two years ago Friday, President Bush announced his first slate of proposed judges. Since then, the White House consistently has refused to surrender to Senate Democrats who have tried to block conservative nominees from lifetime appointments to the bench." "For all the wrangling over nominations, Democrats have joined with the GOP to approve 123 of Bush's 184 picks since spring 2001." According to Sen. Patrick Leahy, ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, "We have drawn a line with a few of his most extreme choices." 5-03 11-14-04 Sen. Specter Pressured to Back Pro-Life Candidates (Wired News) "A Republican senator who has questioned whether an abortion opponent could win approval to the U.S. Supreme Court must agree to back President Bush's nominees if he is to head the committee acting on those nominations, the Senate's Republican leader said." "Specter, who supports abortion rights, sparked a conservative furor by saying after the Nov. 2 election that Bush still lacked enough Senate votes to overcome Democratic attempts to block on any nominees who would overturn the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion." "Bush is expected to have a chance to fill multiple Supreme Court vacancies during his second term, and for many in Bush's conservative base, obtaining a court that would overturn Roe v. Wade is a top priority." 11-04 American Conservative Union (Conservative.org) Provides news from a conservative view. 12-05 Conservative Views on Politics (National Review - David Frum) Provides conservative views. 10-05 Conservative Views on Politics (PoliPundit.com) Provides conservative views. 10-05 Conservative Views on Politics (RedState.org) Provides conservative views. 10-05 Washington Dispatch (Washington Dispatch) Provides a conservative view of political news. 1-04 Papers -Editorial - Bush's Vision for Foreign Policy An Old Tradition (ForeignPolicy.com) "Not since Richard Nixon’s conduct of the war in Vietnam has a U.S. president’s foreign policy so polarized the country—and the world. Yet as controversial as George W. Bush’s policies have been, they are not as radical a departure from his predecessors as both critics and supporters proclaim. Instead, the real weaknesses of the president’s foreign policy lie in its contradictions: Blinded by moral clarity and hamstrung by its enormous military strength, the United States needs to rebalance means with ends if it wants to forge a truly effective grand strategy." "A recent Rand Corporation study concludes that the most important determinants of a successful occupation are related to the 'level of effort—measured in time, manpower, and money.' Bush’s domestic agenda simply does not allow for this level of effort, and he shows no inclination to alter his programs at home in order to effect his strategic vision abroad." 10-04 -Editorial: Lou Dobbs: Our "Leaders" Are "Out of Touch" (CNN News) "Never before in our country's history have both the president and Congress been so out of touch with most Americans. Never before have so few of our elected officials and corporate leaders been less willing to commit to the national interest. And never before has our nation's largest constituent group -- some 200 million middle-class Americans -- been without representation in our nation's capital." 05-06 -Editorial: The Conservative Advantage in Syndicated Op-Ed Columns (MediaMatters.org) "This project did something that has never been done before: It amassed data on the syndicated columnists published by nearly every daily newspaper in the country. While a few publications, most notably Editor & Publisher, cover the syndicated newspaper industry, no one has attempted to comprehensively assemble this information prior to now. Because the syndicates refuse to reveal to the public exactly where their columnists are published, when Media Matters for America set out to make a systematic assessment of the syndicated columnist landscape, we had no choice but to contact each paper individually and ask which syndicated columnists are published on their op-ed pages." "The results show that in paper after paper, state after state, and region after region, conservative syndicated columnists get more space than their progressive counterparts." 09-07 -Editorial: Why Conservatives Feel Betrayed (Washington Post) "The main cause of conservatives' anger with Bush is this: He talked like a conservative to win our votes but never governed like a conservative." "For years, congressional Republicans have sold themselves to conservatives as the continuation of the Reagan revolution. We were told that they would take on the Washington special interests -- that they would, in essence, tear down K Street and sow the earth with salt to make sure nothing ever grew there again." "But over time, most of them turned into the sort of unprincipled power brokers they had ousted in 1994. They lost interest in furthering conservative ideas, and they turned their attention to getting their share of the pork." 05-06 American Enterprise Institute (ConservativeUSA.org) Provides a conservative view of government. 6-03 Bush - Inaugural Speech, 2001 (PBS) Provides President George W. Bush's inauguration speech. 1-01 Christian Coalition of America (Christian Coalition of America) Provides a conservative view of government. 6-03 Compassionate Conservativism Defined (PBS.org - Moyers) President George W.

" 11-04 Concerned Women for America (CWFA.org) Provides a conservative view of government. 6-03 Conservatism (Wikipedia.org) "Conservatism is any of a number of political philosophies supporting traditional values or an established social order. As the word implies, conservatives seek to conserve the existing social order or to reinstate a social order from the past." 12-05 Conservative Principles (KirkCenter.org) "In fine, the diversity of ways in which conservative views may find expression is itself proof that conservatism is no fixed ideology. What particular principles conservatives emphasize during any given time will vary with the circumstances and necessities of that era. The following ten articles of belief reflect the emphases of conservatives in America nowadays." 12-05 Conservative Victories in U.S. Senate in 2003 (TraditionalValues.org) Lists victories of conservative senators in 2003 legislation. 12-03 Conservative Views of Government and Law (Federalist Society) Provides conservative legal opinions, news, and essays from a conservative view of government and law. 5-02 Conservative Views of National Politics (FoxNews.com) Promotes conservative and Republican views of national issues. 9-04 Coulter, Ann (AnnCoulter.org) "Ann Hart Coulter (born December 8, 1961 in New York City) is a prominent American syndicated columnist, bestselling author, and television pundit. Her conservative commentary has earned her a reputation for strong criticism of social and political liberalism. Her speaking and writing style is provocative and aggressive, with heavy use of sarcasm." 9-05 Coulter, Ann (AnnCoulter.org) Provides a professional profile of the conservative commentator and author. 9-05 Eagle Forum (EagleForum.org) Provides a conservative view of government. 6-03 Editorial: Public Has Lost Confidence in Television News (The Wall Street Journal) "Large media institutions, such as CBS or the New York Times, have been regarded as nothing if not authoritative. In the Information Age, authority is a priceless franchise. But it is this franchise that Big Media, incredibly, has just thrown away. It did so by choosing to go into overt opposition to one party's candidate, a sitting president. It stooped to conquer." 11-04 Editorial: Republicans Look for a Winning Hand (MSNBC News) "The possibility of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton as president was bad enough. Even worse is the absence of a Republican candidate to rally around." "The movement's leaders 'are all pretty much agreed that there is no clear conservative choice,' said the game's host, David A. Keene, chairman of the American Conservative Union. 'Or even an unclear conservative choice.' " 03-07 Editorial: The Future of the Modern Conservative Movement (Conservative.org) "Princeton University last weekend hosted a gathering of conservatives who met at the University's Woodrow Wilson Center, of all places, to discuss the origins, success and future of the modern conservative movement." "Many Republican politicians still call themselves conservatives but have pretty well abandoned the core belief in limited government that held the movement together in earlier days and brought them to power. They've decided that, since cutting spending and regulations or limiting government is both hard work and makes enemies, it's easier simply to redirect government largesse from voter groups that make up the core support of their political opponents to those who vote for them or just up the spending so that everyone gets a bigger and bigger piece of the federal pie. They figure that Democrats succeeded for decades by playing Santa Claus and that they can hold onto power by doing the same." 12-05 Editorial: U.S. Supreme Court - Battle over Swing-Vote (Family.org) Provides a conservative view about replacing Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court. 7-05 Family Research Council (FRC.org) Provides a conservative view of government. 6-03 Heritage Foundation - Townhall (Townhall.com) Provides a conservative view of government. 6-03 Hoover Institution (Hoover.org) Provides a conservative view of government. 6-03 Lodge, Henry Cabot (FirstWorldWar.com) Provides a short political biography of President Woodrow Wilson's greatest adversary and the person who blocked U.S. membership in the League of Nations, the precursor to the United Nations.

"The power of neocons is much exaggerated – unfortunately. On the question of Iraq their views generally won the day. Not because they were all-powerful but simply because 9/11 brought various doubters including Bush and Cheney around to the neocon point of view." 1-04 Neoconservatives - Their Place in History (Christian Science Monitor) "The Monitor asked a leading US foreign policy expert, Walter Russell Mead, to place neoconservative beliefs in historical context." 1-04 Neoconservatives - William Kristol (Christian Science Monitor) Provides short profile of the editor of the Weekly Standard. 1-04 Neoconservatives and Their Blueprint for Gaining Power (Christian Science Monitor) Provides short profiles on a dozen neoconservatives. 1-04 Norquist, Grover (Christian Science Monitor) "Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, is a major force in Washington conservative circles." "Since 1993, he has hosted weekly meetings of conservative activists in the nation's capital which Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund has called the Grand Central Station of the conservative movement. More than 100 leaders of what Norquist refers to as 'the center-right coalition' attend the sessions." 11-05 Norquist, Grover - The Next Four Years (PBS.org - Moyers) "Officially, Grover Norquist heads an organization called Americans for Tax Reform where for almost 20 years now he has crusaded for lower taxes and less government. Unofficially, he's been the linchpin in Washington for the conservative revolution that now controls the government. His weekly meetings of activists became the politburo of strategy where all stripes of conservatives bear their differences in order to join forces against in Democrats. From the Christian coalition to log cabin Republicans to the National Rifle Association on whose board he sits, this Harvard graduate keeps the troops on mission. His success prompted Senator Hillary Clinton to muse aloud, if only Democrats had a Grover Norquist." 11-04 Plan for Victory in Iraq (USConservatives.About.com) Provides President George W. Bush's plan for victory in Iraq, made public in 2003. He defines victory in three stages: "Short term, Iraq is making steady progress in fighting terrorists, meeting political milestones, building democratic institutions, and standing up security forces."

"The critics of the nuclear review claim that increasing the number of instances in which the United States might consider using nuclear weapons could well make their use more likely and is liable to stimulate further proliferation of such weapons." "These arguments do not stand up under scrutiny. In fact, the Bush administration deserves praise for its candor in dealing with the security dilemmas posed by the post-Cold War strategic environment. The United States is right to redefine the requirements of deterrence in order to meet new threats to its security, its forces abroad and its allies." 6-03 Voter Fraud - Republican Blog (BillHobbs.com) "This topical archive was created to catalog news and blog coverage of election fraud and suspected election fraud from around the country and around the blogosphere during campaign 2004." 10-04 Projects Conservative Political Activism (Grassfire.org) Provides petitions and other activism for conservative causes. 06-07 Writing to the Media - Contacts (Congress.org) Provides information for writing letters to the editors and other media campaigns. 7-05
