Frightening Democratic Incompetence: No Need To Interrogate Bin Laden?

Posted on by John Hawkins

I’d be perfectly happy if Osama Bin Laden caught a bullet to the brain, got hit with the business end of a missile, or if a few of our GI’s were just to up and decide to impale the son-of-a-b*tch on a sharp stick for the fun of it. However, if we do capture Osama […]

 

Where is THIS Republican Party?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

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 […]

 

Sarah Palin on Oprah: No tears or jumping on couches

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

Crossposted at TabithaHale.com For those of you that live under a rock, Palin ventured behind enemy lines, so to speak, and made a long awaited appearance on Oprah, designed to coincide with the release of her highly anticipated memoir, Going Rogue: An American Life. What better place to catapult a book that is already a […]

 

A Mini-Interview With Dick Armey

Posted on by John Hawkins

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. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of my interview with him. Should the official Republican Party stay out of primaries? You know, my general attitude is that everybody […]

 

Andrew Sullivan Gazes Into . . . uh, the Abyss

Posted on by Robert Stacy McCain

He has become so wildly erratic that it’s hard to predict what he’ll do next, but Sully now seems to be telegraphing his intent to do something even more monumentally embarrassing than his unrequited: twink-lust for Levi Johnston. (Yes, those are live links to Sullivan’s blog; click at your peril, or don’t.) Though not a Sarah […]

 

Police Grovel Before Muslim Maniacs

Posted on by Dave Blount

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

Posted on by Dave Blount

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 […]

 

Obama seriously needs a lesson in humility.

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

Crossposted at TabithaHale.com Did you know that Obama has restored our position in the world? The polls say so, so it’s true. Everyone loves us! “No. 1, I think that we’ve restored America’s standing in the world,” Obama said, citing polls about public confidence in the United States around the world. “We’ve seen very specific […]

 

Even When Doing Something Great For The Troops, PETA Goes Wonky

Posted on by William Teach

The first part deserves a big “kudos!” Troops craving chocolate in Afghanistan could soon be eating dairy-free treats bearing the image of Osama bin Laden. A chocolatier and longtime People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals supporter is making the special vegan chocolates for the troops after reading about how difficult it was to get […]

 

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

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

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. That wouldn’t be so bad except for the fact that it has barely been seen by anyone in the Senate. At least not as […]

 

People Find Obama The Same As Bush When It Comes To Transparency

Posted on by William Teach

Remember this oldy but goody from President Neophyte on his second day as President? “Going forward, anytime the American people want to know something that I or a former president wants to withhold, we will have to consult with the Attorney General and the white house counsel, whose business it is to ensure compliance with […]

 

Europe is Our (Insert Female Pejorative Here)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

**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, […]

 

KSM, cowardly conservatives… and Obama the punisher?

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

The Khalid Shaikh Mohammed backlash has been quite the spectacle. From Holder’s hearing today to Obama predetermining the outcome, this has been really unbelievable. Pulling the trial out military tribunes and moving to civilian courts is a fundamental change in how we deal with criminals. The options, as I see it, are this: 1. They […]

 

Sarah Palin Helped Oprah: Better Ratings Than With Obama!

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Wow. That’s gotta be galling for Oprah to know that coddling Obama cost her so much. Meanwhile, a visit by Sarah Palin nets her the best ratings in years: Monday’s episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” drew a 8.7 household rating and 13 share — the best since Oprah had the entire Osmond family on […]

 

Obama: Questions About The Race Factor

Posted on by John Hawkins

Simple question: look at the difference between Obama’s approval rating with white Americans and black Americans and tell me whether you think that’s healthy for our country? The President has a yawning gender and racial gap, with women approving his job performance 52 – 37 percent, compared to men’s 47 – 44 percent disapproval. He […]

 

Obama Gun Boom Continues

Posted on by Dave Blount

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. […]

 

KSM Show Trial Script Has Been Written

Posted on by Dave Blount

The plan for helping Khalid Sheikh Mohammed complete the 9/11 terror atrocities is all mapped out. First the Obamination Administration postures as morally righteous in contrast to George Bush, against whom Chairman Zero continues to campaign, despite W last having run for office in 2004. Then KSM is granted a soapbox from which to denounce […]

 

“Too Big To Fail” Should Mean “Too Big To Stay Together”

Posted on by John Hawkins

While I haven’t seen much analysis of the legislation Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.) is offering up and am suspicious of it, because he’s a liberal Democrat, I do agree in principle with the idea of what he’s trying to do here: Rep. Paul Kanjorski has proposed dramatically expanding the power of federal regulators to dismantle large […]

 

Twilight New Moon: 36 Hours Until Premiere

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Just sayin’. And for your pleasure, a teaser. Don’t be a hater. You hate what you don’t understand. And a pre-review review: And for those of you who think I’m hijacking John Hawkin’s righteous right wing rantings, consider this payback for all the ranking hot girl pieces he’s done. Edward Cullen is teh hawt. That […]

 

Pres. Obama’s Weakness Means Danger To The U.S.

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

Pres. Obama could be the poster boy for what happens when others see you as weak. Obama imagined that bowing and scraping and using his pretty words would endear him to the world. He imagined he would show the international community how different he was from Bush with his “cowboy diplomacy.” Well, one thing Bush […]

 

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses: Why Independents Are Abandoning The Democratic Party

Posted on by John Hawkins

One of the great lousy things about politics is that everything, no matter how obvious it may appear, can be twisted, spun, and finagled to serve one side or the other. If you want to see this in action, take a look at an article in the Politico called “Dems alarmed as independents bolt.” You […]

The smartest, most important scientist of our time, Al Gore, really, truly brings Teh Stupid during an appearence on that ultra scientific show with that triple PhD host, The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien (via John Derbyshire at The Corner) Conan: Now, what about … you talk in the book about geothermal energy … Al: […]
