Romney Admits ‘It’s Very Easy to Excite the Base With Incendiary Comments’

Sometimes when he's really tired the truth comes out and one can glimpse this cynical manipulator's hollow core.  Do you think this is an admission about smearing his opponents, or a promise to treat Obama the way McCain did, with kid gloves?

Michigan is Santorum Country, but Congrats to Mitt for Winning Detroit

Mitt Romney's razor thin margin in his home state over Rick Santorum will yield him the same number of delegates as those won by Senator Santorum.

The latest, unofficial reports indicate that Romney and Santorum will each gain 15 delegates from Michigan.  That Romney with unlimited funding barely managed to defeat an underfunded challenger in his home state is not a victory.  It is a disaster for the Romney campaign and another red flag warning that Romney is a seriously unpopular and weak candidate.

If GOP conservatives  want to avoid nominating another "Less of the Same" establishment RINO, Super Tuesday may be their last chance.  A win for Santorum in Georgia and Ohio on Super Tuesday will mean that today's Rockefeller Republicans have finally lost their lock on the GOP.  Wins for Romney in Ohio and Gingrich in Georgia may ensure a joyless convention and a replay of 1976, 1992, 1996 and 2008.  

Newt has lost any possibility of being the Republican nominee.  It's time to rally to the last conservative standing.  Georgia, please don't waste your votes.

Religion Is Not the Enemy

A remarkable agnostic, Marcello Pera, explains why.

Why We Should Call Ourselves Christians: The Religious Roots of Free Societies
By Marcello Pera
(Encounter Books, 224 pages, $23.95)

You were taught that pious platitude that you can't judge a book by its cover. But the truth is that usually you can. This one, for instance, looked easy. You read the title: Why We Should Call Ourselves Christians. You saw that the preface is written by Pope Benedict XVI. You could already guess what you would find on the inside pages. And you would be wrong.

With Ohio looming as one of the next big presidential battlegrounds, a new poll finds that Rick Santorum has a significant lead over Mitt Romney in the Buckeye State. But the poll, released Tuesday, also concludes that Ohio is in play because nearly half the likely GOP primary voters say they could change their mind between now and the March 6 primary, when Ohio will be one of the largest states to vote on Super Tuesday.

Cardinal Dolan: AMDG - For the Greater Glory of God

This is a daunting hour in our nation's history.  With a Marxist in the White House eager to persecute the Church, with our nation facing bankruptcy, massive unemployment and cultural collapse, and with emboldened enemies throughout the world gaining nuclear weapons, many are inclined to despair.  But it is in just such an hour that a faithful and loving God raises up great leaders -- in the political realm and in the Church.  This past weekend, New Yorkers got a glimpse of God's unfailing love in their new Cardinal Archbishop.

   

Gov. Haley Vetoes Bill to Deny Savannah Dredging

From The Journal of Commerce

By Peter T. Leach

State legislators argue project will give Port of Savannah an edge over Charleston  

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley on Monday vetoed a bill both state houses passed unanimously in an attempt to overturn a permit allowing the Port of Savannah to expand at the expense of Charleston’s port.

The bill would have overturned a permit issued by state environmental regulators to allow the Army Corps of Engineers to deepen the Savannah river. The dredging project will allow the port to handle larger ships able to pass through the expanded Panama Canal in late 2014.
