The number of Hoystory readers who will be voting in tomorrow’s primaries probably approaches zero, but it seems like it’s incumbent upon conservative bloggers to pick a side in the Christine O’Donnell/Mike Castle deathmatch. Vote for Mike Castle. Am I an enthusiastic Castle supporter? Hardly. He’s got a lifetime American Conservative Union rating of 52. […]
Insurance premiums are going up. That’s not the way it was supposed to work. Or maybe it would be more accurate to say that’s not the way it was sold. From an Associated Press fact-check of President Obama’s press conference last week: OBAMA: Said he never expected to extend insurance coverage to an additional 31 […]
I’ve been doing quite a bit of reading lately, so here’s your quick Sunday books section. First, I mentioned Jay Richards’s “Money, Greed and God” last week regarding a quote from Sojourners’ head Jim Wallis. I’ve since finished the book and I strongly encourage people to pick it up.

Forty-one of President Obama’s aides owe $831,000 in back taxes.
They expire next year. President Obama has previously said: “You don't raise taxes in a recession.” But he’s also said that tax policy is a tool to make things fair. So, he’s willing to buck “every economist” who says that raising taxes in an economy as fragile as ours is today a bad idea and […]

I suspect a 2012 run for president would be a little early, but 2016 or 2020 watch out! Two years out, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels is currently my preferred GOP candidate for 2012. Daniels-Christie could be unstoppable.
Texas Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson is corrupt, and voters would do well to kick her out. Sen. Barbara Boxer’s aides are as dumb as she is.
I’m reading Jay W. Richards’s book “Money, Greed and God” and I’m really enjoying it. I came across this one paragraph that’s really jumped out at me. In the same vein, after the U.S. Senate voted to raise the minimum wage in February 2007, the Reverend Jim Wallis announced that “God hates inequality.” Ron Sider’s […]
Dan Balz has an amazing article in today’s Washington Post. One of the puzzling questions about Barack Obama's presidency is how the post-partisan candidate of 2008 became the polarizing chief executive of 2010. The answer may be surprising. He was far more polarizing from the start than many recognized. His choices in office and his […]
