Year: 2007

Anyone who follows politics knows that there is a lot of intellectual discussion on the right and very little on the left. Why? Because conservatives are willing to criticize each other and debate policies while liberals, as a general rule, only allow criticism of other liberals for not being liberal enough. For example, take the […]

Throughout his last term in the Senate, rumors were constantly floating around that Lincoln Chafee was about to change parties. In fact, just two days before the election, this story was floated at the Plank, I have a friend in Rhode Island, a Democrat torn between his affections for Lincoln Chafee and his desire to […]

The guy responsible for the 2nd worst campaign of the 21st century (behind Katherine Harris) has decided to fail upwards and run for the presidency. That’s right; contain yourself, folks, because Alan Keyes is here to save us, Alan Keyes filed a Statement of Candidacy (Form 2) with the Federal Election Commission–thus officially announcing as […]

Last week, I wrote a column for Townhall called, “The Non-Existent North American Union” and I wanted to show you some of my favorite responses to the column over there. Enjoy! Fight4Truth writes: LIARS LIARS LIARS!!!! The North American Union is real It’s all over the median you LIARS! This site is just a neocon […]

“I love (the North American Union theory) because if you ever doubt your own sanity, all you have to do is read this stuff and realize that you’re okay.” — Charles Krauthammer “You lay out a conspiracy and then force some people to try to prove it doesn’t exist. That’s just the way some people […]

“B*tch, I don’t give a f*** about these white people.” — Knicks president and coach Isiah Thomas on the team’s season ticket holders? On the one hand, that quote comes from a woman, “who filed a $10 million sexual harassment lawsuit against Thomas.” On the other hand, it sounds like something Isiah Thomas would say. […]

Over at the HuffPo, John Kerry is pulling out all the stops to mislead people about something John Boehner said, Just yesterday on CNN, Wolf Blitzer asked John Boehner, the leader of the GOP in the House, this question (video on Horse’s Mouth): “The loss in blood, the Americans who are killed every month, how […]

I caught Bush’s short speech about the war last night and although there wasn’t anything wrong with what he said and there were a few things right with it (We will be withdrawing troops, we’re doing what Petraeus wants), it wasn’t all that effective. Bush is just so unpopular, has such a wooden delivery in […]

Besides Duncan Hunter, whom I used to consult for, Fred Thompson is my 2nd favorite candidate running for President. Although he has done “OK” since his official entry into the race, it’s pretty clear that he hasn’t done the necessary prep work for a run. When you run for the presidency, you are going to […]

This seems weirdly funny somehow, Daily Kos commissioned the following poll from independent pollster Research 2000: Research 2000 for Daily Kos. 9/10-12. Likely voters. MoE 4% (No trend lines) For whom did you vote for in the 2006 race for U.S. Senate, Ned Lamont, the Democrat, Alan Schlesinger, the Republican, or Joe Lieberman, an Independent? […]

Via Alexa, I put together a list of the 75 most popular right-of-center websites. Do keep in mind that while I think this is a fairly comprehensive list, I’m sure some pages were probably left out. That wasn’t intentional; it’s just something that is going to happen when you try to take on an undertaking […]

A weepy, anti-American post by Joseph Palermo over at the Huffington Post caught my eye. Here’s an excerpt, I Am So Sorry Not to belittle or downplay the suffering of the Vietnamese people under the U.S. assault from 1965 to 1975, or the Chilean people who had to endure 17 years of illegitimate and brutal […]

Well, that didn’t take long… “A school that had ordered students not to wear representations of the U.S. flag on their clothing has rescinded the ban, after word of the order that prevented a student from recognizing the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks became public. Supt. L. Stewart Hobbs Jr. said officials […]

Media Matters, which is a left-wing outfit, put together an attention grabbing study that purports to show that conservative columnists get significantly more of their work published on editorial pages across the country than liberals. Here are some of the conclusions from their report, * Sixty percent of the nation’s daily newspapers print more conservative […]

If you attempted to debate a liberal about global warming, they’ll likely tell you that there is a consensus in the scientific community that not only does global warming exist, but it is also man-made… Hogwash… A new analysis of peer-reviewed literature reveals that more than 500 scientists have published evidence refuting at least one […]

I have had to throw out any ability to be shocked by shameless behavior in order to even comment on politics. But still, after the withdrawal of any expectations they still get me. Hillary Clinton has put Sandy Berger on her National Security team. I’ll give you a minute while you sort that out……..I say […]

Here’s a thread that’s currently up at the Democratic Underground Forums, “Poll question: Gen. David Petraeus is a war criminal“ Here’s how it’s breaking down so far, Given the sorry state of modern liberalism, should we be heartened or discouraged that only 9 out of 20 liberals think the brilliant general who is fighting Al-Qaeda […]

You tell ’em, Lynn! “Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.) is encouraging anti-war activists to find challengers to centrist Democrats, with the aim of moving the party to the left and ramping up opposition to the war in Iraq, to the chagrin of top Democratic aides. “You folks should go after the Democrats,” Woolsey said in response […]

Out — bleeping — Rageous! SAMPSON COUNTY, N.C. — On the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, students at one high school were not allowed to wear clothes with an American Flag. Under a new school rule, students at Hobbton High School are not allowed to wear items with flags, from any country, including […]

“I don’t feel no ways tired. I come too far from where I started from. Nobody told me that the road would be easy. I don’t believe He brought me this far,” drawled presidential aspirant Hillary Clinton, mimicking black voice to a black audience, at the First Baptist Church of Selma, Alabama. I’m wondering if […]

A bunch of obnoxous Code Pink wackos smearing General Petraeus the same way they’ve smeared everybody else who wants to win the war.

Each month, I send out 7-8 questions to the right side of the blogosphere. They’re either multiple choice or yes no questions. I prefer to hit new topics each time and I particularly enjoy hitting controversial topics. So, with that in mind, would you like to suggest some questions? If they’re good and they work […]

The Los Angeles Times, that rightwing rag, revealed that the Clinton campaign had been warned that fundraiser Norman Hsu was involved in a suspicious ponzi scheme. Before the announcement, new evidence surfaced that the Clinton camp had dismissed allegations about Hsu made by a Southern California businessman. In an e-mail obtained by The Times, a […]

There’s just something about the Smirking Chimp that makes it stand out, even in the wild mix of radicalism, raw hatred, and conspiracy theories that are so typical on the left these days. For example, today, on 9/11, here’s a little sample of some of the posts from the front page of this extremely popular […]

Raving moonbat Keith Olbermann went even further off the rails than normal talking about Fox in a Playboy interview, “Al Qaeda really hurt us, but not as much as Rupert Murdoch has hurt us, particularly in the case of Fox News. Fox News is worse than Al Qaeda — worse for our society. It’s as […]
