Year: 2008

Well, make that two quotes. A very accurate analogy regarding the Democrats’ energy plan: Conservation, efficiency and using oil we hold in reserve for emergencies does not get us more energy. It’s as if we were running out of food and the Democrats were telling us: “Just eat a little less every day.” Great! We’ll […]

An interesting vid shot at UC Santa Barbara earlier this month. It is a rather revealing look at what constitutes the state of the anti-war movement at this time. It is not a pretty picture. They’re uninformed, ignorant of the terms they throw around, and prone to childish acts like spitting on those asking the […]

Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) is a one-issue politician who first ran for Congress after her husband was executed for being Caucasian on the Long Island Rail Road in the infamous 1993 massacre. The killer was Colin Ferguson, a Frankenstein monster created by liberal ideology, who came to the USA from Jamaica and killed six random […]

Here’s a surprise: According to Rasmussen, only 49% of voters admit having noticed that the media is trying to install Barack Obama in the White House. It must be summertime; no one is paying attention to the news. But this percentage is sure to go up in light of the MSM’s flagship newspaper, the New […]

One thing that is too often forgotten in the illegal immigration debate is that there have been enormous numbers of American citizens who have been raped, robbed, and murdered by illegal immigrants who shouldn’t be in this country in the first place. How must that feel, to have someone you love murdered by a person […]

Yesterday, I wrote a post that explained, among other things, that people have a lot of trouble telling the difference between radical Islamists and moderate Muslims because the radicals hide what they believe. Today, this story comes out of New York, Allah board! An Islamic group plans to blitz 1,000 subway cars with advertisements this […]

Here is what quasi-crazy talk show host Michael Savage says about autism (via Cassy Fiano): I remember when my intelligent three year old son started melting down. It was after three years of never crying. He would scrape his knees, be bleeding profusely and not feel it or not express how he felt. I was […]

Ironically, one of the reasons George Bush’s approval rating is so low is that he has done such a fantastic job of protecting America from terrorist attacks since 9/11. After 9/11, if you had told people that Bush would prevent another major terrorist attack against the US for nearly seven years and would have an […]

The website of the day is Real World Republicans.    

This quote from the ObamaMessiah’s wife, whom the Obama campaign says we’re not allowed to discuss, is a real eye catcher. It starts with a little burst of fascism, lapses into sadness and despair, and ends with a messianic promise of paradise for the world is Obama is elected, “I wish we had time to […]

A recent Rassmussen poll shows that nearly half of all those surveyed think that the media is in the tank for Obama. Proving that the other half haven’t been paying attention, The New York Times has refused to print an op-ed by Sen. McCain responding to Obama’s Iraq piece.. The Times refused to print the […]

The New York Times does have one redeeming quality: its open-minded editorial page. Just last year it ran an editorial by a representative of the Islamic terror group Hamas. As its Public Editor Clark Hoyt explained: Op-ed pages are for debate, but if you get only one side, that’s not debate. And that’s not healthy. […]

A new friend wrote a post in response to Maureen Dowd’s man-discomfort phase (glad she seems to be finally out of it) a couple years ago, but it seems so prescient even now. He said: The idea that men want women who are not intellectually challenging, or smart, or funny, or witty, or exciting, or […]

Which election year most resembles this election? It depends on who you choose to believe. Michael Barone, who, for the most part, I consider one of the more astute political observers, thinks this is pretty darn close to what happened in 1976: Looking back over the last 40 years, the presidential campaign that most closely […]

As regular readers of RWN know, I spent this week-end in Austin, Texas at the Defending The American Dream Summit AKA the RightOnline Summit. I’ve already done a few posts about what was happening at the Summit (which I’ll link at the end of this post), but I wanted to do one more big blow-off […]

When I heard that the U.S. reversed course and had decided to “come to the table” with Iran, I thought, uh oh, this is the last effort before Iran’s nuclear sites get bombed after the Presidential election. If nothing else, the State Department can shrug their shoulders and say, “We tried”, which is essentially what’s […]

Here’s an email I received this morning from one Ayman Abdalla, that was so great, that I just had to share it with you, “listen you biatch you guys are a.s.s. holes why da fouk do you make muslims out to be extremists and murderers? Please consider the environment – do you really need to […]

One of the biggest problems we have in this country is that people think the government needs to be involved in every little thing. For example, Be careful if you have saggy pants in the south Chicago suburb of Lynwood. Village leaders have passed an ordinance that would levy $25 fines against anyone showing three […]

More humor from NPR, which recently asked us to weep for obese welfare queens who have had to cut down on ice cream: Robert Redford has been fighting on behalf of the environment for more than 30 years. From producing documentary films about solar power to lobbying Congress, his work has been both in the […]

First he said he’d visited 57 states. Now he’s talking about conducting diplomacy for 8-10 years as Jake Tapper notes. Today on CBS’s Face the Nation, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in Afghanistan, told the paparazzi-pursued correspondent Lara Logan that “the objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people like President Karzai or […]

Yes, fellow citizens, that well-regarded institution, Congress, is trying to see if they can further add to your woes while trying to do a little “revenue raising“: [Rep. James] Oberstar, D-Minn., said his committee [House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee] is working on the next long-term highway bill. He estimated it will take between $450 billion […]

Paul Alan Levy sends this along: The latest abuse of trademark law to suppress discussion of topics of substantial public interest comes from not from a company, like most of the trademark abuses previously discussed on this blog, such as here and here, but from the Republican National Committee, which has threatened to sue CafePress.com […]

Wolf Howling makes a thorough argument that socialism, not “mere” liberalism, is at the root at the disintegration of law and order in Britain, which you have to read in full to appreciate. The conclusion: This is all a case study in why the philosophy of Karl Marx should have been interred with his bones. […]

As expected, the mediots are doing their duty in faithfully reporting on Obama’s first overseas trip since becoming the Dem nominee for president by portraying him as a near-rock star in Afghanistan. Newsbusters has a couple of reports on the mainstream media’s fawing weekend coverage of Obama’s trip: Day 1 of Obama’s Magical Media Tour: […]

Did you catch the headline? “Tax Rate for New Yorkers Would Top 50% Under Obama“ Under Obama’s proposals, the highest marginal tax rate for citizens of high income-tax states like New York will be close to a punitive 60% – and that’s before you consider sales tax, property tax, gas tax, and other taxes. New […]

I was intrigued by this article in The Atlantic that discussed the housing bubble, and in a sort of Malcolm Gladwell-esque way, suggested that economic “bubbles” might be treated like viruses, and prevented in analogous ways to how we work to contain the spread of diseases. I was of two minds about the premise: on […]
