As a Conservative, I Must Say I Do Quite Like the Cut of this Obama Fellow’s Jib
IowaHawk’s latest is coffee-out-the-nose funny:
By T. Coddington Van Voorhees VII
Columnist, The National Topsider
Membership Chairman, The Newport ClubWhen my late father T. Coddington Van Voorhees VI founded the iconoclastic conservative journal National Topsider in 1948, he famously declared that “Now is the time for all good conservative helmsmen to hoist the mizzen, pour the cocktails, and steer this damned schooner hard starboard.” In the 60 years since he first uttered it after one-too-many Cosmopolitans at one of Pamela Harriman’s notorious foreign policy black tie balls, father’s pithy bon mot has served as a rallying cry for conservatives from Greenwich to Chevy Chase. Today, I say it’s time for we conservatives to once again grab the rigging and set sail with the flotilla of the true conservative in this race: Barack Obama.
But it’s not just American conservatives who are appalled. Just last week conservative New York Times columnist David Brooks and I were enjoying an apres-badminton apertif at the family weekend house in Montauk with my good friend Viscount Klaus-Maria Von Wallensheim, the conservative EU Agricultural Pricing Minister with whom I shared an Alpine chalet and manservant during our years as classmates at a Swiss boarding school. “Kloonkie” (my old school appellation for the Viscount) reported the growing dismay of the Continental Right over Palin’s embarrassing enthusiasm for childbirth and Israel.
Megyn Kelly’s Greatest Hits
Fox News legal analyst Megyn Kelly has been a shining light in this campaign season. She has been passionate about pointing out the blatant media bias especially the vitriol aimed against Sarah Palin. She is beautiful especially when fired up and smart as hell. For your perusal are a few of her spirited performances:

Regular Joes and Janes Rising Up against the Media: Tito the Builder
Tito the Builder is taking the media to task about their outrageous treatment of fellow citizen Joe the Plumber. The Media has clearly chosen a side in this election which I say makes them fair game for the kind of investigations and confrontations they have foisted upon Joe the Plumber. If the media want to be active participants in this election then take Obama’s advice: ‘Get in their face.’
NRO’s Byron York has all the details of the confrontation.
Someone asked why Munoz had come to the rally. “I support McCain, but I’ve come to face you guys because I’m disgusted with you guys,” he said. “Why the hell are you going after Joe the Plumber? Joe the Plumber has an idea. He has a future. He wants to be something else. Why is that wrong? Everything is possible in America. I made it. Joe the Plumber could make it even better than me. . . . I was born in Colombia, but I was made in the U.S.A.”
“I am Joe the Plumber!” Munoz chimed in. “You’re attacking me.”
“Wait a second,” Corn said. “Do you pay your taxes?”
“Yes, I pay my taxes,” the woman [Her name was Connie, and she said she had been born and raised in Antigua, in the West Indies.] said.
“Then you’re better than Joe the Plumber,” Corn said.

Meet Tiffany Wilson and Shelby Holliday
These two young ladies have been doing some excellent reporting for Palestra.net covering what appears to be blatant election fraud in Ohio. Not just registration fraud (which is still a felony, but seems to be forgivable by most in the media) but real-deal election fraud.
Check out Tiffany Wilson’s Videos.
Check out Shelby Holliday’s Videos.
These two gals are putting the MSM to shame in investigative reporting. Hopefully the group known as Vote From Home will become as infamous as Acorn. Their reporting has been picked up by Greta Van Sustern on Fox News but few other media outlets seem interested in obvious election fraud.
“Community Organizers” are not just getting out the vote and Ohio residency is a very nebulous concept for some early voters:
Its the Socialism, Stupid. (…and pie)
“If we don’t wake up as a nation with a new kind of leadership…for how we want this country to work, then we won’t get universal health care,” she said.
“The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.” – Michelle Obama
I wonder what Michelle will do with all that pie?
Obama is coming for your pie. Wake up, America!
In Defense of Anti-Intellectualism Part 1
The natives are truly getting restless. There is a genuine fear that too many “regular folk” are getting too much attention during this campaign season. The media elite and the ruling class on the left (naturally) and on the right (sadly) have said, in no uncertain terms, to the general population of fly-over country: “SIT DOWN AND STFU!!!”
The apoplexy began with John McCain naming Sarah Palin as his choice for VP. Sarah Palin has been savaged from all directions because she had the audacity to aspire to serve her country without first putting in her time at an Ivy League Indoctrination Center. She graduated [eventually! *Snicker*] from Idaho University [*GASP*].
The rabid elite media intelligentsia and the useful idiots in Hollywood attacked her immediately. The attacks from the right-of-center intelligentsia came a bit later, perhaps to show their “thoughtfulness” on the subject. Nevertheless it was received with resounding “Huzzahs!” by the aforementioned elite media.
The alleged conservatives that have “turned” on Sarah Palin and thus John McCain include notables such as David Brooks, the NY Times resident milquetoast conservative; David Frum , former Bush speech-writer; Kathleen Parker, National Review Online; Peggy Noonan, former Reagan speech-writer. Brooks went so far as to say (not in print, mind you) that Sarah Palin is “a fatal cancer” to the Republican party.
If David Brooks is the bulwark of the Republican party God help us. Or rather, God help them. I say its high time for a good old fashioned schism. The North Eastern elites can have the Republican Party back, we’ll keep the conservatism. Thank you very much.
The others were at least given to the occasional damning by faint praise for the way she connects to regular folk. Which brings us to the crux of the problem: She is not an “intellectual.” She is clearly intelligent, just not the right kind of intelligent.
Chris Buckley, whose two claims to fame are his paternity and filling in for the inestimable Mark Steyn at National Review has endorsed Barack Hussein Obama. Note to Mr. Steyn: You are henceforth forbidden any vacation time. Buckley defends Obama’s intellect with “well, he’s a Harvard man” Which immediately brought to my mind a quote from his dear old dad.
I’d rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University. -Wm. F. Buckley Jr.
I had nearly reached my breaking point. Enter Joe Wurzelbacher. Joe the Plumber. Joe had the audacity to question one of our leaders about tax policy and to voice his common sense opinions on the American Dream. He’s for it. I thought at the time that Joe had some brass balls to ask a tough question of Barack Obama with cameras rolling. I wonder if he truly knew the anal exam he was about to receive from the kingmaker media.
The media celebrated him for his first fifteen minutes then turned quickly when it was obvious that his outspokeness was a boon to the McCain campaign. To paraphrase Joe, “Excuse me, Senator Government, that sounds like socialism.” The media immediately saw Joe as a novelty. “Look! One of the Plebes asked the anointed one a question. He wants to keep all of his pie. Isn’t that cute?” Then, when he resonated with all the other Joes, he was a threat that needed to be destroyed. Did you hear? His name isn’t even JOE! Well, now that its no longer racist to talk about middle names. HUSSEIN! HUSSEIN! HUSSEIN! HUSSEIN!
The liberal elite hates Joe because he is a threat. The “conservative” elite hasn’t piped in much but I am not going to hold my breath for any defense of this commoner. So far, John McCain has defended this man but it will no doubt get difficult as the media continues to demonize him.
The best defense will come from regular folk who will stand beside him and shout, “I AM JOE.”
The entrenched elites on both sides have a vested interest in ensuring that Mr. Smith Goes to Washington remains fictional.

Michelle Bachman vs Chris Matthews
Michelle Bachman (R), Representative from MN is a classy dame as she tries to explain mainstream America’s concerns about BHO’s associations. Chris Matthews, after 10 minutes of feeding Ms Bachmann line after line of reductio ad absurdum, claims that she is calling for some sort of McCarthyite witchhunt. This is simply journalistic malpractice and douchebaggery of the highest degree.
