Year: 2008

Jacques Diouf, Director General of the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization, has been denouncing the West for the fact that Africans are too sunk in moonbattery to feed themselves. Listen to him rail: No one understands… how over-consumption by obese people in the [Western] world costs $20 billion each year. The media is only too […]

It’s quite ironic that most people seem to believe that liberals are more concerned about education than conservatives because libs put a much lower value on actually educating children than conservatives do. Now, teaching children Left-Wing propaganda in school? Liberals care a lot about that. Catering to every whim of the teachers’ unions that help […]

You could come up with plenty of reasons for Obama NOT to take Hillary Clinton as his Veep. He’s running on a platform of change and the Clintons are “old school” politics at its worst. They don’t like each other. The Clintons have a lot of baggage. Hill and her hubby have insulted Obama numerous […]

Abortion is a business. It is a big business. Huge. Michelle Malkin reports: In April, the annual report of Planned Parenthood Federation of America revealed that the abortion giant had a total income of $1.02 billion–with reported profits of nearly $115 million. Taxpayers kick in more than $336 million worth of government grants and contracts […]

A snippet from an actual conversation I had on IM last night, (Anonymous friend): You feeling good about November? (John Hawkins): Not really because it’s lose/lose no matter who gets in, it could go either way on the presidential side, and we are probably going to lose seats in Congress no matter what happens.

Yesterday, I ran a poll on global warming. The question was, Which of these two positions better describes your feelings about Global Warming? There were 763 responses and here’s how it broke down, The jury is still out on global warming and more research is needed before we take action to deal with it (97%) […]

WaPo’s Richard Cohen has “come to loathe the campaign.” Most notably: I loathe above all the resurgence of racism — or maybe it is merely my appreciation of the fact that it is wider and deeper than I thought. He’s shocked that people admit to race being a consideration in the Obama-Clinton campaign. Why a […]

This shouldn’t surprise many people. According to a Pew Research poll, the liberals who relentlessly advocate higher taxes are three times more likely than conservatives to think it’s okay to cheat when paying them. They are more than twice as likely to excuse getting paid under the table so as to keep collecting unemployment benefits. […]

The line that said it all: We’re going to make America great again. It isn’t great already? Nope, because Obama wasn’t here before. Well, he was here. He just here, here. You know what I mean. Oh, and with Obama the ocean will cease to rise, the planet will heal, children will not get sick […]

The California Supreme Court usurped the will of the people by overturning the results of the previous referendum (Proposition 22) banning gay marriage. Now, the people are fighting back: An initiative that would again outlaw gay marriage in California has qualified for the November ballot, the Secretary of State announced Monday. California Secretary of State […]

…..like a woman scorned. So what will the scorned Hillary Clinton do at the convention? Will she stand by submissively like she did for her husband? She has been well-schooled that way. Her supporters might not be too happy about seeing her docile this time around. Even a Vice Presidency is unlikely to appease them. […]

Barack Obama’s recently strategically disowned church, which he had been attending for 20 years, is famous not just for its hostility to Caucasians, but for its fiery denunciations of America. Long-term friends of Obama like Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger are famous for drawing rousing applause by screaming “God damn America!” and “America is the […]

“This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end Of our elaborate plans, the end Of everything that stands, the end No safety or surprise, the end Ill never look into your eyes…again” — The Doors The AP has released a story saying that Hillary is going to concede […]

One of the Left’s weird little hiccups on foreign policy is their inclination to oppose using our military when it will benefit us while supporting the use of our military in situations that have very little to do with our national interest. So, for example, in Iraq where we have an enormous national stake in […]

Homosexuals and transsexuals have made such impressive gains lately, some have moved on to the next phase of the plan to reduce civilization to a freak show that would shock the most depraved denizens of hell. Next up: establishing the “inalienable right” to have sex with animals: Frank Kameny, a hero to the homosexual community […]

Is Barbara Boxer’s bill dead on arrival? The Senate is debating the much-hyped bill this week and next week, but already Democrats and the bill’s moderate GOP backers are floundering. Roll Call reports: In the heat of Monday afternoon, Senate Environment and Public Works Chairman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) fumbled with her kickoff speech on global […]

Which of these two positions better describes your feelings about Global Warming? Global warming is definitely happening, it’s caused by people, and we need to take strong action to stop it. The jury is still out on global warming and more research is needed before we take action to deal with it.    Free polls […]

As a general rule, conservatives don’t believe that mankind is causing global warming or that we need major legislation to “fix” the problem. That’s true with conservatives in general and even more true about the conservative media. Just to give you an idea of what I mean, here’s a survey question from an early 2007 […]

Just in case you were wondering if the Clintons had any hard feelings over the way they were treated by the mainstream media and the Obama campaign… “It’s part of the national media’s attempt to nail Hillary for Obama. It’s just the most biased press coverage in history. It’s another way of helping Obama. They […]

This line from Father Pfleger’s pseudo-apology for his rant against Hillary Clinton and white folk really jumped out at me. But during a mass Sunday at St. Sabina, the priest struck an unusually contrite and cautious tone when appealing to his congregation for forgiveness. Pfleger said the last week had been the most painful of […]

When liberals have accomplished their goal of effectively repealing the Second Amendment, we’ll be more than ever at the mercy of the government, but at least we’ll be safe from each other, right? Wrong, obviously. In Britain, where moonbats aren’t encumbered by the pesky Second Amendment, anti-gun campaigner Pat Regan has been found stabbed to […]

Now certainly, there are plenty of honest liberals out there. However, percentage wise, conservatives tend to be more Christian, more concerned with values, and more concerned with just being decent people. This is why conservatives tend to be more vulnerable to the “hypocrite” charge: you have to have morals and values in the first place […]

I’m sure they view their actions as courageous, but it just seems like Australia is bailing on a friend and even more, they are bailing on the Iraqi people. Peter Khalil extols the military (rightfully so) and simultaneously claims moral superiority for quitting combat while combat is still needed to achieve this nebulous goal: In […]

Omar Sharif, who was born in Egypt and has been in movies like The Ten Commandments, The 13th Warrior, Top Secret! and dozens and dozens of other films, had this to say about a conversation he had with George Bush before the war in Iraq, “I told him that I come from the East and […]

The New York Times couldn’t find one woman who was happy with how things are changing in Iraq? Not. One. However, people are staying connected. This was interesting: It’s a funny thing. There is the deterioration of Iraq’s infrastructure — scarring of buildings by bullets holes, streets deformed by concrete blocks, checkpoints. But you can […]

My latest column at Townhall, Top Seven Reasons Why Barack Obama is a Weaker Candidate Than People Think, cracked the 7 most read pieces this week. It’s a real honor to be on there with a group of columnists of that caliber.
