C-SPAN Archives 23 Years of Politics Online
On March 16, 2010 at 7:36 am
In an effort to express their commitment to their vowed public service, C-SPAN has archived over 23 years of history online HERE. This is one of those moments that slipped by without any notice, but for our children it will define not only their education but their methods of holding their representation accountable. There is [...]
Canada & The 9/11 Pig Roast
On March 11, 2010 at 3:19 pm
OH CANADA! Let us count the reasons to appreciate our jolly neighbors: breakfast buffets, big sexy drunken perpetual frat boys, trolley cars, head shops, their sense of humor, BEERFEST, their use of the word ‘aye’ (which is certain to pluck the heartstrings of even the biggest and meanest d-bags), and let us not forget eskimos! However, when it [...]
Lost and Found: Young Republican Enthusiasm
On at 12:51 pm
As published on The Daily Caller on 10 March 2010
A new poll of America’s 18-29 year-olds released yesterday by Harvard’s Institute of Politics gives the Republican Party serious hope for change in 2010.
The poll reveals a significant enthusiasm gap among young voters, with young Republicans expressing greater eagerness to vote in November’s midterm elections than [...]
A Real “Stimulus Package”
On at 8:15 am
Over the past year, the Obamacrats have pumped up the spending in a “hope” to “change” the sad state of the economy. They pumped trillions of dollars into the system through stimulus packages. Now, they’ve targeted health care reform. Part of that new health care reform may be a truly virile “stimulus package.”
My frustration with [...]
Curt Schilling a Yankee Fan? Coakley Strikes Again (audio)
On January 17, 2010 at 7:14 am
In one week, one phenomenal senatorial hopeful (lucky you Massachusetts) has exclaimed that Catholics should not work in Emergency rooms (39% of her voters) and that Red Sox Legend Curt Schilling is a Yankee fan. PHENOMENAL! The best part is that as I write this, Barack Obama twitters that in order to pass Healthcare reform [...]
Governor Jenny?
On January 8, 2010 at 11:18 am
Everyone is familiar with Mark Sanford’s recent antics. While he continues to steadily fall from public graces, his wife, Jenny Sanford, is shooting straight to the top. She is described by one friend as, “Katharine Hepburn meets Margaret Thatcher.”
Her refusal to stand by him after he “hiked the Appalachian trail,” (and as he made his [...]
PHOTO ID AND A PROFILE PLEASE
On January 4, 2010 at 10:18 am
The attempted take down of Northwest Airlines Flight 253 headed for the United States on Christmas Day 2009 was yet another illustration of how the war on terror continues and will for a long time to come. It’s grown to be part of what we have to deal with on a second to second basis [...]
The Bench!
On November 24, 2009 at 11:11 am
At Parcbench we’re always moving forward. We’re young, we have a lot of energy and we aren’t afraid to say what we think. The fun part about being young and conservative is that we live in an age where we can exercise our first amendment rights anywhere and anytime. We’re sick of Rolling Stone, MTV, [...]

An Artist’s Thoughts on the President
On October 2, 2009 at 9:29 am
As an artistic, 20-something woman living and working in NYC I’ve found myself in quite the pickle.
I’ve developed a new view that goes against everything someone like me is supposed to believe in. I feel as though I’m defying gravity, or some unwritten code that says I have to be idealistic, hopeful, and supportive.
The more [...]
Bob McDonnell, F**k, Yeah!
On September 14, 2009 at 1:29 am
Bob McDonnell’s a little like the hare from “The Tortoise and the Hare.”
The Virginia gubernatorial candidate started the race with a monstrous lead over the luckiest Democrat in the world, Creigh Deeds, who somehow managed to oust Terry McAuliffe in the primaries.
The race has been a raunchy one, to say the least. McDonnell took a [...]
R.I.P. Teddy
On August 27, 2009 at 2:00 am
Well the past two days just show how far the class level has fallen in America. As many of you already know, Senator Ted Kennedy died last night. As usual, the nuts have come out on both sides of the political cyberspace to spew ridiculousness.
Memo to the left; Teddy was not a saint. He could not [...]
