In the entire history of our country, I’m not sure there has ever been a presidential honeymoon period as tender and loving as the one that Barack Obama is experiencing today. In Perry County, Alabama they have already voted to create a paid holiday called “Barack Obama Day.” That’s an honor not bestowed on “lesser […]

No matter what happens — even a 14-point Republican victory — the media geniuses will always find a way to spin it as bad news for conservatives: With time and money on their sides, though, we can expect that Obama and other Democratic leaders will be look to make 2012 the year that the Solid […]

The Washington Times echoes what we’ve been saying here for a number of weeks – it appears Barack Obama will simply let the Iraq engagement end itself naturally and claim credit for its final success: “I believe that 16 months is the right time frame,” Mr. Obama said after announcing his national security team that […]

The three kings overseeing the demise of the American auto industry are back in Washington to plead for $billions in other people’s money in exchange for still greater government encroachment into their unprofitable enterprises. The Big Three should be lunging at the opportunity to wriggle out of the extravagant union contracts at the root of […]

When faced with a choice between honoring Christmas or some Muslim festival, British educrats probably didn’t agonize long over their decision. Greenwood Junior School sent out a letter to parents saying the three-day festival of Eid al-Adha, which takes place between December 8 and 11, meant that Muslim children would be off school. That meant […]

Over at Hot Air, Ed Morrissey is rooting for the Supreme Court to deny the lawsuit challenging Barack Obama’s U.S. citizenship, The latest buzz surrounds the decision by Clarence Thomas to circulate the appeal petition to the entire court after David Souter rejected it immediately. That really doesn’t mean much, as the Tribune explains. Of […]

It had been widely assumed, prior to the 2008 election cycle, that a black Democrat couldn’t win the presidency (Personally, I had always thought the first black President would be a Republican). However, in retrospect, isn’t it likely that George Bush’s appointment of Colin Powell and Condi Rice to the Secretary of State position helped […]

I’ve long thought that the best way for the GOP to appeal to young Americans would be to point out that the left is putting them deep into debt. Well today, believe it or not, at the ultra-left wing site Counterpunch, Professor David Michael Green does a phenomnenal job of pointing out how young Americans […]

Some people are puzzled by the Franken campaign’s assertion that they are now ahead by 22 votes. That’s understandable, since the latest count has him behind by 316. What you have to understand is that it’s part of a public relations strategy. You see, despite the fact that Franken’s totals have already been swelled by […]

Conventional wisdom among those who believe it is guns which are responsible for murders is taking a drubbing in the UK: One teenager has been killed on the streets of Britain every five days this year as the number of fatal stabbings soars, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.

Being a community activist is the perfect job for moonbats. With the media behind you, you get can all the way to the White House. Even if you don’t, you can have lots of fun helping to dismantle civilization — like this guy: MIAMI — Max Rameau delivers his sales pitch like a pro. “All […]

The politically correct drive toward cultural suicide has crossed into the Twilight Zone in Britainistan, where Catholic bishops are calling for Muslim prayer rooms in every Roman Catholic school. Catholic schools may also be required to feature Muslim pre-prayer ablution facilities, which will meaning installing bidets, foot spas, and hoses. Just as victims of battered […]

For a long time in this country, citizens, businesses, local governments, and most of all, the federal government, have been running up debts as if they’re never going to have to pay them back. So what if the Big 3 car companies pay out pensions they can’t afford? So what if the country gets trillions […]

This economic news more than just about anything else bothers me: The ADP Small Business Report has shown that: Total small business employment: -79,000 Goods-producing sector: -47,000 small business jobs Service-providing sector: -32,000 small business jobs Small businesses cutting employees mean that big businesses don’t need what small businesses are producing. I suspect these numbers […]

During the last leg of the campaign, I was tired and disgusted with the political nonsense. I was appalled at the lack of curiosity by both the press and the electorate. The salacious smears against decent people made me think that no rational person would ever want to serve his or her country. The ignorance […]

One thing I have been saying for a long, long time is that there are a lot of black Americans pulling the lever year in and year out for Democrats, when they SHOULD BE voting for Republicans based on their beliefs. Well, Gallup is now bringing the numbers. What you’ll notice about this particular chart […]

Twent percent of kids are nuts: Almost one in five young American adults has a personality disorder that interferes with everyday life, and even more abuse alcohol or drugs, researchers reported Monday in the most extensive study of its kind. The disorders include problems such as obsessive or compulsive tendencies and anti-social behavior that can […]

There are a lot of great reasons to despise the Democratic Congress. They’re completely out-of-touch, give away your money to get elected and then expect everyone to pat them on the back for being compassionate, and most of them seem to be primarily concerned with keeping their cushy jobs, not serving the people who put […]

In the closing days of an election in Georgia that was thought to be as close as 2 points a week ago, Saxby Chambliss attached himself at the hip to Sarah Palin. On the other hand, his opponent Jim Martin launched robocalls from Barack Obama and spent his time with rappers Ludacris, Young Jeezy, & […]

Jesse Jackson, Jr., that is. That’s who the Chicago Sun-Times would like to see Illinois Gov. Blagojevich pick to finish Obama’s term. Says the Sun-Times: Jackson also has proven himself on the national stage, serving on the House Appropriations Committee and as Obama’s national campaign co-chairman. He has pushed for universal health care and, in […]

Moonbattery took art from Leonardo da Vinci to Jackson Pollock. It took literature from William Shakespeare to Maya Angelou. It took politics from James Madison to Barack Obama. Here’s where it’s taking science: Who says scientists are awkward and ungraceful? Thirty-six different videos on YouTube prove that wrong, as researchers translate their doctoral dissertations into […]

At least we have the allegedly right-wing Fox News to counter the Obamunist hype blaring from the rest of the mainstream media. How’s this for fair and balanced: “There is really only one de facto president, and we finally have accepted that — that it’s Obama,” said FOX News contributor Fred Barnes, executive editor of […]

With resignation I watch Barack Obama assemble his leadership team. He won. He gets to do the fun stuff. What is more irksome this time around is that Republicans passed on a winner to pick a guy who had so many clear deficits. I wanted Fred Thompson. This is why: H/T Erick Erickson of Redstate […]
