Here’s another WalkAway video

The New Neo Posted on August 22, 2019 by neoAugust 22, 2019

The thing I particularly like about this video is when he says “It’s easy to be a Democrat.” So true! A person with an open and questing mind, which predisposed him to be open to change. I find him to … Continue reading →

Comey the Commie

The New Neo Posted on May 16, 2019 by neoMay 16, 2019

I couldn’t resist that headline, even though it’s not true that Comey is a Communist. But apparently he once was a Communist, according to his own report, and it wasn’t just a supposed one-off like Brennan (whom I wrote about … Continue reading →

Let’s hear it for Norman Podhoretz, the original neocon

The New Neo Posted on April 18, 2019 by neoApril 18, 2019

Norman Podhoretz is eighty-nine years old and still going strong, not to mention sharp as a tack. Case in point, this interview. Unfortunately, the Podoretz interview itself is behind an impregnable paywall, so that link is to a post at … Continue reading →

Martina Navratilova is at a political change crossroads, whether she realizes it or not

The New Neo Posted on March 8, 2019 by neoMarch 8, 2019

Here’s the story: Navratilova tweeted out before Christmas, “You can’t just proclaim yourself a female and be able to compete against women. There must be some standards, and having a penis and competing as a woman would not fit that … Continue reading →

#WalkAway’s Brandon Straka on the Mark Levin show: a political changer who started a movement

The New Neo Posted on March 4, 2019 by neoMarch 11, 2019

The founder of the #WalkAway movement, Brandon Straka, appeared last night on the Mark Levin show. His interview has been posted on YouTube, and a fascinating interview it is. The entire interview is well worth watching, but the part that … Continue reading →

RIP Pat Caddell

The New Neo Posted on February 18, 2019 by neoFebruary 18, 2019

This is sad news: Pollster and political analyst Pat Caddell died from a stroke on Saturday at the age of 68. I don’t watch cable news very often, but I’ve certainly watched it enough to be familiar with Pat Cadell. … Continue reading →

Beginning to leave the fold

The New Neo Posted on December 28, 2018 by neoDecember 28, 2018

Here’s a sad article by a New Yorker named Lester Berg who’s just beginning to discover that any sort of disagreement on political matters can turn certain old friends against him. It wasn’t that way back when Obama was president, … Continue reading →

Rethinking Trump

The New Neo Posted on October 12, 2018 by neoOctober 12, 2018

One aftermath of the Kavanaugh hearings is that quite a few NeverTrumpers on the GOP side have decided Trump’s not so bad after all, and have said so in print. Public declarations of having changed one’s mind about something important … Continue reading →

Another changer sparked by 9/11

The New Neo Posted on September 11, 2018 by neoSeptember 11, 2018

One of the most touching of the #Walkaway stories

The New Neo Posted on August 18, 2018 by neoAugust 17, 2018

I’ve now watched a great many #WalkAway videos at YouTube. If you’re not familiar with #WalkAway, it’s a movement of people attesting to their decision to walk away from the Democratic Party and/or voting consistently liberal. That doesn’t necessarily make … Continue reading →

For the Fourth: He’s a Yankee Doodle Dandy

The New Neo Posted on July 4, 2018 by neoJuly 4, 2018

[NOTE: This is a slightly-edited repeat of a previous post.] I saw that film on TV maybe 30 times when I was a child. Loved it, and in particular loved the idea that James Cagney—whom I already knew as a … Continue reading →
