Michael van der Galien
Michael van der Galien was born in the Dutch city of Leeuwarden in 1984. For as long as he can remember, he has been obsessed with the United States. When he was 17 years old, he started blogging - of course about America. His articles have been published at Big Hollywood, Pajamas Media, Hot Air (the GreenRoom) and Right Across The Atlantic. He's also an editor for the Dutch conservative blog, De Dagelijkse Standaard.
Fox News and talk radio host Glenn Beck just said on his morning radio show that he’s having tremendous physical problems nowadays. His eyes are apparently deteriorating and there’s a host of other physical issues he’s trying to deal with. He’ll take next week Monday and Tuesday off, to go to a hospital where they’ll examine him to determine what the cause of the problem is exactly.
Glenn Beck’s new website, The Blaze, explains that he has problems with feeling in his hands and feet, and with his vocal chords.
NRB’s thoughts and prayers are with this great man, who’s done so much to expose the destructive and radical progressive agenda.
Remember how leftists were accusing Fox News talk show host Glenn Beck of being a polarizing figure after and especially before his “Restoring Honor” rally? He was too outspoken, not nuanced enough. Well, how about this?

Fiscal Conservatism With an Attitude: Top 5 of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie Showing Progressives His Teeth
In little to no time, Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey has become one of the most beloved and admired conservatives in the country. Christie, a son of an Irish father and a Sicilian mother, has a simple approach to politics: he’s always honest, afraid of no one, and speaks truth to power. If some people don’t want to hear the truth because they fear it, well, that’s their problem. He says what he believes, and he does what he says, the consequences be damned.
At a time when Washington D.C. is controlled by ideological leftists who are constantly pushing a radical progressive agenda, and conservatives in the nation’s capitol are deemed too weak kneed and civil by many conservatives, they consider Governor Christie’s style a fresh breath of air. Finally, conservative activists seem to believe, there is one of them in a position of power who holds no barrels and takes no prisoners.
While the Right adores The Phenomenon from New Jersey, the Left has come to loath him. They hate him because he’s willing to take them on, and refuses to retreat, even when he’s under fire from the nation’s most powerful unions.
Here are the top five moments of Governor Christie showing progressives his teeth. Watch and enjoy.

Make no mistake about it: many of those in power today are socialists.
Apparently, cigarettes are the new crack cocaine. At least, that’s what New York mayor Michael Bloomberg seems to believe. After banning smoking in indoor public areas, he now wants to do the same with outdoor areas such as parks, beaches and pedestrian malls.
For the conservative, the Constitution is not a convenient discourse, but a repository of pragmatic and durable truths about liberty and prosperity in a social order. No one reading the argument of the Federalist Papers, which is an argument about the lessons of history can fail to understand this. The truths embodied in the principles of the Constitution were validated for the founders by the experience of previously existing states. They have been confirmed in our lifetimes by the end-results of the two-hundred year war of the Left against the philosophical and political framework of “bourgeois freedoms” against the idea of negative liberties and the practice of limited government; and by the Left’s establishment of societies based on its own radical principles of positive freedoms, which include affirmative “rights” to food, shelter, clothing, employment, and equality; and by the catastrophes they created.
For the counter revolution of the Right, the truth revealed about humanity in society is exactly the opposite of the Rousseauian claim: Society is not nature’s corrupter, but its civilizing force. “What is government,” an American founder wrote, “but a reflection on human nature?” And: “If men were angels, there would be no need for government.” Man is not born free, but a lifelong slave to his unruly passions. It is only the civilizing limits of the social contract that can liberate the anti-social beings of nature into the constitutive orders of a productive and communal life.
- The Politics of Bad Faith
It’s fascinating to see the civil war that broke out recently among conservatives. The Tea Party movement took on moderate candidates (for Congress and the Senate) they declared ‘RINO’s’ (because they were moderate in their social, and often also in their fiscal views), while the conservative establishment fought back by labeling Tea Party activists naive radicals who don’t understand that you sometimes have to settle for a moderate candidate if you want to win in general elections. read more…

Today, the Friday before the Delaware primary, at 8:30 in the evening, Sen. Jim DeMint finally endorsed Catherine O’Donnell. DeMint said that O’Donnell “will stand strong for the principles of freedom.”
I like DeMint. But if “principles of freedom” are at stake, I wonder why DeMint didn’t endorse O’Donnell earlier. Her campaign has been attempting to win his endorsement for weeks, if not months.
