Fixing the Debt Ceiling

Fixing the Debt Ceiling

Posted by | Jan 23, 2013 | |

  In the fight over the debt ceiling, we keep hearing that Republicans should demand spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling. They should be demanding entitlement reform or tax reform. These are things we all desperately need, but it misses the point of the debt ceiling. It also accepts the president’s premise that the debt ceiling must be raised, which reflects a bigger problem, which is, people don’t understand the debt ceiling even on the right. Starting from the premise that the debt ceiling must be raised means people actually think that not doing so will...

Self-Worth and the Hookup Culture

Posted by | Jan 9, 2013 | , , |

  Part of restoring our society and our Republic will have to come through a conservative takeover in the culture.   We will have to engage the culture and leave our imprint. It’s not enough to complain about the rot that we see around us; we have to be willing to take it on, make our case, and especially with young people, engage in the conversation. That brings me to Counter Cultured. It describes itself as “a blog about social, political and cultural issues from the perspectives of young conservatives.” This is conservatism taking its place in American culture. And...

The GOP’s Epic Fail on the Fiscal Cliff

The GOP’s Epic Fail on the Fiscal Cliff

This deal would be like if Britain and France gave away Poland in September 1939 because they thought Hitler would like them for it. Here are some of the lowlights of this crap sandwich, according to Newsmax: —Income tax rates: Extends decade-old tax cuts on incomes up to $400,000 for individuals, $450,000 for couples. Earnings above those amounts would be taxed at a...

My Response to Adolph Reed

My Response to Adolph Reed

Posted by | Dec 21, 2012 | , , |

  Today, I was appalled, but sadly not surprised to read an op-ed in the New York Times from Adolph L. Reed Jr., a professor of political science at the University of Pennsylvania. Its title “The Puzzle of Black Republican” is the typical liberal response to black conservatives; dripping with racism, contempt, and lies. He spouts the usual leftist tripe of referring to Clarence Thomas as “an archconservative” and claims there is “thinly veiled racism” in the Tea Party. I penned a response to Professor Reed and you can read it below: Professor Reed, I am writing this email in response to...

Senator Tim Scott Has a Nice Ring to It

Senator Tim Scott Has a Nice Ring to It

Posted by | Dec 14, 2012 | , |

  In the days following the announcement that Senator Jim DeMint, conservative stalwart, would be resigning from the Senate to take the helm as President of the Heritage Foundation, speculation as to who Governor Haley will replace him with is running wild.   Let me lay out the case for why Representative Tim Scott is the man for the job. First of all, Tim Scott is a staunch conservative on fiscal and cultural issues. He is a Tea Party conservative with a 96% ACU (American Conservative Union) rating. He was also elected by his colleagues as one of two members...
