Many of my favorite weblinks these days I've come to via HillBuzz.org which has an ear on a lot of important sources, and where the participants in the comments are a constant cornucopia of links to information and ideas on all sorts of important matters. Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh and Andrew Breitbart (if you've heard of any of them) have taken notice of HillBuzz. Gay Chicago Hillary Clinton-supporter starts the best conservative-activist (and Palin-for-President) site?

One sadly amusing angle is HillBuzz's disdainful reporting on the pervasive knee-jerk left-wing brainwashed gay culture, which to me represents in microcosm the mind-sets of all left-aligned cultures.

Their descriptions of the "cocktail party Republican" machine in Chicago, RINOs dedicated to more John McCains, to self-advancement, but not actually to winning elections, reminds me of my father John Tyler's telling me of the Oklahoma Republican Party before, well, before he and Henry Bellmon and the like made the Republicans serious contenders in Oklahoma. Alas but apparently, still too much of the Republican Partiers today.

I've never read Machiavelli, but I think I got the general idea, and in the spirit of conspiracy theorizing, I sometimes imagine HillBuzz is TOO good, that tomorrow they'll be exposed as some George Soros-financed left-wing treachery.

But HillBuzz seems trustworthy on inside info from Barry's home town. On the TMI but nevertheless biographically interesting side, one of the gay bathhouses Obama reputedly frequented before his reconstruction was close to our old neighborhood; his reputation then was not positive, which is to suggest this is not where he learned to bow. (ICK!) The HillBuzz has it that the Prez has AIDS or possibly Parkinson's; Parkinson's may derive from cocaine abuse, to which BO's admitted a little and reputed to have done a lot more. HillBuzz is, he will claim Parkinson's as an excuse to bow out in 2012, to retire and write books and give speeches about how horrible America is, like Carter. Hard to imagine the Ego In Chief would let go for any reason, but then, the HillBuzz is that Michelle's friends say she's sick of D.C., hated coming back after their last vacation, and wants to get back to Hawaii after one term.

In any case, a lot will depend on what the Republicans throw at 2012. HillBuzz community is leaning toward Palin-West, which I think would trounce anybody the Democrats could put up, but I just can't imagine the Republicans going so out of stodgy character.

Which brings me to a good, if long-overdue item with which to close:

Mike M. (HillBuzz comm) says:

Much of conservatism is negative. We want the Government’s hands out of our pockets, its nose out of our business. Lower taxes, fewer regulations.

This is important, but it is not the sort of thing to stir the souls of men. That demands something positive. Something that must be won, earned, taken.

The founders of this nation spoke in such terms. Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and Reagan did, too. Kennedy had it down cold.

But I’ve not seen it since from any Republican. And it is desperately needed. Not merely for political victory, but to trigger a national renaissance. We need to be called to greatness again.....

Minor quibble: much of conservatism is NOT negative, but is presented badly. My hero Frederich Bastiat said:

“The worst thing that can happen to a good cause is, not to be skillfully attacked, but to be ineptly defended”
