The Conservative Front

Michelle Malkin has good things to say about Jason Chaffetz on her blog. She is referring specifically to Rep. Chaffetz’s Cap and Trade Disclosure Act, for which he is currently seeking co-sponsors. The Republican Study Committee reports: Rep. Jason Chaffetz is seeking original cosponsors for the Cap-and-Trade Tax Disclosure Act which will require utility companies [...]

In one of the few bright spots of the evening, Jason Chaffetz is predicted to win the Thrid District Congressional seat. Congressman-elect Chaffetz represents the right kind of change. We wish him all the best.

I have heard several commentators, including Rush Limbaugh, voice their concerns about the state of today’s Democratic Party. Well, it seems the Democratic Party is in great shape after all. How could it not be with all those people intent on saving us from ourselves?

The group Americans for Better Immigration rates Jason Chaffetz as a “true immigration reform candidate,” based on his positions on immigration in 12 categories. Jim Matheson is listed as “more opposed than supportive of overall immigration reductions.” That puts him, according to a poll by the Deseret News, at odds with 3/4 of Utahans over [...]

I’ve been out of town for a couple of days. Time to catch up. While I was on vacation, I finished reading Thomas Sowell’s marvelous book The Vision of the Anointed. It was a fantastic read! Many of my favorite current affairs books leave me wanting to strangle some liberal, just to make me feel [...]

On a great win in the face of tremendous odds. Chris Cannon seemed to have everything going for him: endorsements of most of Utah’s Republican leadership, name recognition, a bigger budget, experience from previous campaigns, PAC money from outside Utah, all that and yet volunteerism and a great grass roots effort were able to unseat [...]

The totals as of right now (with all but one rural precinct reporting) are: Jason Chaffetz – 59.96% (27,266) Chris Cannon – 40.04% (18,208) In [...]

Today is the Republican Primary. Do the right thing, and vote. I voted Jason Chaffetz for US Congress in Utah’s Third District. I think it’s time for a change, and I’m not talking about the empty change-for-the-sake-of-change that Obama wants. I mean substantive change. Chris Cannon has served Utah reasonably well, but he now seems [...]

I support Parents for Choice in Education. I support their cause because I support the idea that parents, not elitist government bureaucrats, know best how to educate children. The “anointed elite” believe that because of their highly educated status, they are among the very wise and therefore must be obeyed when it comes to social [...]
