Where is THIS Republican Party?

An excerpt of the 1924 Republican Party Platform: The prosperity of the American nation rests on the vigor of private initiative which has bred a spirit of independence and self-reliance. The republican party stands now, as always, against all attempts to put the government into business. American industry should not be compelled to struggle against […]

A Mini-Interview With Dick Armey

While I was at the Freedomworks event in Raleigh last week-end, I got an opportunity to interview former House Majority Leader and Freedomworks Chairman, Dick Armey.

Police Grovel Before Muslim Maniacs

The obsequious political correctness that allowed Nidal Malik Hasan to fester away until he was ready to launch his terrorist massacre at Ford Hood is hardly limited to the military. Law enforcement is rotted through with it too: The Ummah, a violent fundamentalist Sunni Islamic group in Detroit, advocates a separate Islamic state that would […]

 

British Bureauweenies Nix Anti-Cancer Drug

Socialized medicine doesn’t really mean death panels. It means pleasantly named bureaucracies like Britain’s NICE, which has just ruled that those with liver cancer are a burden on The State and must die quickly for the greater good. What use are taxpayers who are too sick to pay taxes? The health watchdog has blocked a […]

 



Andrew In The Sky Of Diamonds

Conservative authors have said that Liberalism Is A Mental Disorder and Andrew Sullivan has made me a believer. He is Exhibit A: hallucinating his way through a serious case of Sarah Palin hate.

Harry Reid Wants to Vote on a Phantom Bill (Dem Dirty Tricks Edition)

Either today or later this week, Senate Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev) wants the Senate to vote on a “motion to proceed” on the Senate’s version of the healthcare bill.

Europe is Our (Insert Female Pejorative Here)

**And now a word from my inner swaggerer… Europe is a chick’s name. That’s right, you heard me. The word Europa from which Europe is derived is of feminine gender in origin. In Greek mythology Europa was a Phoenician princess abducted by Zeus. Zeus disguised himself as a bull to pull off the caper. So, […]

It seems that stimulus funds, you know that 787 billion bill without an “ounce” of pork in it, are funding a study at the University of Illinois (wow, there’s a surprise) to look at “the relationship between fat taxes and food […]

 



Obama Gun Boom Continues

A rare sector of the economy not based on coercion that has actually benefited from the disgraceful results of last November’s election continues to flourish: All over America demand for firearms and ammunition is rising amid concerns that rising unemployment, which passed 10 per cent this month, will lead inexorably to higher rates of crime.

A Cool 12 Trillion

Remember the era of fiscal responsibility that Barack Obama was going to usher in? From CBS News: Technically, the debt hit the new high yesterday, but it was posted on the Treasury Department website just after 3:00 p.m. ET today. The exact calculation of the debt is a 16-digit tongue-twister and red-ink tsunami: $12,031,299,186,290.07 This […]

Just sayin’. And for your pleasure, a teaser. Don’t be a hater. You hate what you don’t understand.
