Year: 2009

Sigh … PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad and Tobago — President Obama endured a 50-minute diatribe from socialist Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega that lashed out at a century of what he called terroristic U.S. aggression in Central America and included a rambling denunciation of the U.S.-imposed isolation of Cuba’s Communist government. Obama sat mostly unmoved during the speech […]

“I have been to the mountain and I have secured the rights to the promised land!” Emancipated, yes, but poorly managed IP-wise The AP reports that the pimps family of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. got $800,000 for “the use of his words and image” on the national memorial to his memory on the […]

Back on the 17th, I wrote about the Right not really caring about the torture mild discomfort that stone cold Islamic terrorists were put in as a means to gain intelligence. This was in response to an Excitable Andy screed about most on the Right ignoring the issue. And, for the most part, most of […]

This morning, I asked a question about the sexual innuendo behind the word “teabagging” (since other bloggers have noticed a sneering, locker room quality to MSM reports on the Tea Parties). To date, there have been 94 comments on that post. The first few dealt with the question itself. Then, a liberal came to visit, […]

According to Zarathushtra, the great prophet of Zoroastrianism, “the world is divided into good and evil“, with Angra Manyu, “the spirit of darkness and lies,” ruling the forces of evil. While today’s left doesn’t have a Zarathushtra, they do have their Angra Manyu, George W. Bush. Even now, nearly three months after that good man […]

I received an email from Jane Van Ryan of the API regarding recent developments. A couple of things have happened that might be of interest to you. First, a district court vacated the Minerals Management Service’s 2007-2012 offshore leasing plan (not the plan that was the topic of field hearings over the past couple of […]

The left-wingers on FARK are just giddy over the creative-writing genius of bernardpliers at Daily Kos, who came up with the idea of envisioning the Republican party as a deranged ex-boyfriend of a woman who was America. Said FARK libs found this so uplifting, they celebrated in one of the few ways they know how…they […]

The nerve of these folks – shielding some wingnut just so he could criticize the President of the United States without disclosing his identity! … the right of scared Bush officials to participate in public debates without being identified is hardly some noble journalistic value — former Bush officials have not exactly been shy about […]

Well here we go – the government apparently plans on getting further into a business in which it has no track record of success. Yes friends, if “Amtrak” doesn’t remind you of why this isn’t a good idea, how about doubling down on it? You remember Amtrak: In FY 2007, Amtrak earned approximately $2.15 billion […]

What a nutcase. Please rate on YouTube.

Hard-working Americans came together on Wednesday in cities and towns across the nation for one purpose – to send a message to Washington that they are tired of footing the bill for the wasteful government programs that won’t create jobs or turn the economy around. The spending and taxing are just part of it. In […]

My co-blogger and right-hand gal Melissa Clouthier is going to be representing Right Wing News at the Sam Adams Alliance blog awards, the Sammies. Melissa won the “Microblogger of the Year” award for her twittering, which is extremely sweet, not just because it’s great to be recognized, but because there’s a $2,000 payday for winning […]

You might think that potholes should be repaired. You might even think that’s what the government is there for. But no: repairing potholes costs taxpayer money that could better be used for bureaucrats’ salaries. Besides, potholes serve a purpose: they’re like speed bumps, but even more effective, because the bigger they get, the more they […]

Even at left-leaning USA Today, if you ask a stupid question, you will sometimes get the obvious truth for an answer. A poll at the liberal fishwrap asks, “Does the Second Amendment give individuals the right to bear arms?” The current results: If the next USA Today poll question is “Does Saturday come after Friday?” […]

Us Michiganders or is it Michiganians are good at lots o’ things. Procreation has got to be at the top of the list. I mean, look at this guy: Authorities in Michigan say a man fathered 14 children with 13 women and owes more than $530,000 in unpaid child support. A Michigan newspaper reports 42-year-old […]

At a pro-life dinner last night, Sarah Palin talked about her fleeting thoughts of abortion when she learned she was pregnant with Trig. It was beautiful, sincere, and humanizing because it comes across as so personal and real… (Realizing I was pregnant) blew me away, it rocked my world… It was a time I asked […]

Per USA Today, advocates of illegal immigration are debating whether or not illegals should cooperate with the census, Some Hispanic advocacy groups are calling for illegal immigrants to boycott the 2010 Census unless immigration laws are changed. The move puts them at odds with leading immigrant rights advocates and creates another hurdle in the Census […]

Matt Drudge over at The Drudge Report doesn’t do commentary, but he does remember all the news headlines from years past. …..And when someone, usually Democrats — because they’re used to being given a free pass for their foibles — does something that’s outrageously hypocritical, Drudge loves nothing more than to pancake them by printing […]

Here are five blogs that I like. Give ’em a look! Word Around the Net The Troglopundit Amanda Carpenter’s The Back Story Advice Goddess Tammy Bruce Bloggers, this is the first blogger “Follow Friday.” Post links to five blogs you like and encourage your readers to take a look — and, yes, I came up […]

Your humor story of the day The US President is weak, the Spanish leader is dim, the German Chancellor is clinging on to France’s coat-tails and the head of the European Commission is irrelevant. That, at any rate, is the world according to President Sarkozy, who has spent the week airing his unvarnished opinions of […]

“I had no idea how important this week’s nationwide anti-tax tea parties were until hearing liberals denounce them with such ferocity. The New York Times’ Paul Krugman wrote a column attacking the tea parties, apologizing for making fun of “crazy people.” It’s OK, Paul, you’re allowed to do that for the same reason Jews can […]

The first of these Tea Party pictures from Yorba Linda, California explains what has the Dems and their toadies in the media running so scared: Compliments of Joi W. Cross-posted at Moonbattery.

I’m proud to report that the Arizona Capitol Tea Party here in Phoenix was a tremendous success, with attendance clearly much higher than the Arizona Repugnant‘s “more than 5,000” would lead you to believe. Never have I been surrounded by a friendlier, more well-mannered group of people. The contrast to the smelly, antisocial riffraff that […]

For those of you who believe that you can spend yourself out of debt and enjoy the same level of taxation, a little dose of economic cold water is in order, appropriately on the day after tax day. Many economists, including some who voted for Obama, do not believe that he can indefinitely avoid imposing […]

Well, self-love is all the rage. So why not substitute yourself in Jesus’ parables and not mention his name? From Dawn Eden: And so it came to pass, beneath Gaston Hall’s beautiful painting of Morality, Faith, and Patriotism, with gold letters on the wall behind him spelling the Jesuit motto “Ad majorem Dei gloriam”–“To the […]

Please send this around to everyone you know and rate it. I was at the same protest that Susan Roesgen attended. Check it out.

I’m going to tell a story in pictures today. Since the Left, including the Legacy Media, simply cannot display any empathy–that is, since they are incapable of putting themselves in someone else’s shoes–perhaps pictures will help them “see” what we on the Right see. Then again, maybe not. Imagine being a conservative woman blogger. I […]

Or, does she? Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano apologized to veterans after a report issued by her department said troops returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were at risk for being recruited by right-wing extremists. “To the extent veterans read it as an accusation — an apology is owed,” she said in an […]

OK, I’ll admit, I did not attend the Raleigh Tea Party, perhaps it is a sad excuse, but, the Carolina Hurricanes were playing the NJ Devils (my team) in the first round of the Playoffs at 7:30pm, had responsibilities to get food and beer. As I am sure quite a few other people had, as […]
