Today’s Democrat Party is the Borg – remember when they were first introduced? The big bad. There was simply no way to stop them. But of course, the Federation won. More than that, the crew of the Enterprise won – because they behaved like the family that they are. The power of a family to […] The post Conservatives – We’re a Family, Not a Collective appeared first on The Refinery Show.

Lefty writers and bloggers and experts are just quoted as writers, bloggers, or experts. Conservatives are ALWAYS given the adjective “conservative consultant” or “ultra-conservative blog”. We sometimes do the same – describing our products as “the conservative daily show” or whatever. The media separates us out, otherizing us. Why do we have to do the […] The post The Conservative Ghetto appeared first on The Refinery Show.

This week’s theme was authenticity and integrity – and the ways that they matter to the conservative movement, and the culture in general.

The left is always on attack, always prepared to turn any slight mistake into a weapon and use it against us.

In this week’s discussion we talked about recent examples of minor goofs, […] The post They’ll Make A Weapon Out Of Anything appeared first on The Refinery Show.

Journalism is dead – it’s all media activism now. In fact, we should stop calling them journalists and call them Media Activists – or if there’s a better term we’d love to hear it. The media has gotten SO stupid that it’s tough to tell sincere from satire. So we start out with a game […] The post Journalism is Dead – it’s all Media Activism now appeared first on The Refinery Show.

Look around and all you see is people dividing each other into groups, separating themselves from others. That’s not bad in and of itself, but it really keeps us from moving forward in any meaningful way. Pro-life folks position themselves apart from women in need,and can end up positioning themselves as a weird, offensive “other”. […] The post Division and separation are tearing us apart appeared first on The Refinery Show.

Did the Secretary of State put the nation at risk?Tonight’s showbegan with coverage of the Hillary presser.

How do we, as conservatives, talk about this is a way that will help our movement, help our […] The post It’s The National Security, Stupid appeared first on The Refinery Show.

Dishonesty ended up being the running theme through this week’s podcast. The denial side of it is dangerously evident in the speeches we get from the State Department – Marie Harf saying that #Jobs4Jihadis would fix things better than just killing them all. Then there’s the political-spin type of dishonesty in the debate about the […]

Old media – they’re not just biased, they’re also dishonest. We talk about the Brian Williams issue, what it means for the media in general, and more importantly, how we can work around it.
