Year: 2009

* The Left has never been as freaked out by Al Qaeda or the Soviet Union as they are over the Tea Parties. * Sign #899 that Obama is polarizing America: I listened to Michael Savage tonight for 30 min and agreed w/ everything he had to say. * Liberals love to think of themselves […]

With newspapers across the country going deeper in the hole by the day and some of them, happily, finally going out of business, perhaps it’s understandable that they’re increasingly lashing out at the new media sources that have been chipping away at their support. However, when the old media makes bad arguments designed to encourage […]

Because there were so many tea parties and so many bloggers covering them, it really isn’t possible for me give them all the attention they deserve. So, what I decided to do instead is post some of the best pics I found from around the blogosphere, From Urban Infidel at the New York Tea Party. […]

Yesterday, I went to the Myrtle Beach Tea Party. It was a lunchtime Tea Party that ran from noon to 2 PM. Now, Myrtle Beach is not a particularly large area. The population is only roughly 30,000 people and so the Tea Party was a bit smaller than a lot of the ones in the […]

DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano reacts to the uproar over the, and I use the phrase very loosely when referring to it, “analysis and intelligence” report released by her department on “rightwing extremists”: The primary mission of this department is to prevent terrorist attacks on our nation. The document on right-wing extremism sent last week by […]

A man’s home is not his castle, but the government’s plaything, according to environazis like Scotland’s Richard Dixon: Homeowners who do not to take action to improve the energy efficiency of their properties should be treated as criminals, one of the country’s most influential environmentalists said last night. Dr Richard Dixon, director of WWF Scotland, […]

Proving that there is nothing (other than subservience and parasitism) that the government won’t try to regulate out of existence, bureaucrats are now going after the practice of owning pets. While it waits for the gargantuan spending it has set in motion to sink the economy, Congress busies itself by once again reaching into your […]

Dan Riehl says it’s the spending. So does Betsy. Glenn Reynolds calls them, in the Wall Street Journal, a “they’re really a post-partisan expression of outrage.” Michelle Malkin talks repeatedly of “generational theft“, as in people are protesting robbing our children to pay for the current generation’s mistakes. MaxedOutMama brilliantly discusses the economics of things. […]

Liberalism has become increasingly indistinguishable from Mussolini style fascism since Obama got into office and the latest example of it was on display at UNC-Chapel Hill last night. UNC-CH police released pepper spray and threatened to use a Taser on student protesters Tuesday evening when a crowd disrupted a speech by former Colorado congressman Tom […]

It’s hard not to notice, although the mainstream media is certainly trying, that the Somali pirates never had the guts to take an American ship when George Bush was in office. So, after being emboldened by Obama’s weakness, the pirates took their first American vessel. It didn’t work out so well for them and I […]

Well, he did say he would sit down with Mohmoud Ahmadinejad without any pre-conditions. I supposed this is a step in that direction The Obama administration and its European allies are preparing proposals that would shift strategy toward Iran by dropping a longstanding American insistence that Tehran rapidly shut down nuclear facilities during the early […]

Well, I guess that is better then “undocumented immigrants,” since, apparently, everyone in the media, and some in the government, has documented all sorts of information on their lives. Pew Hispanic Center: A Portrait of Unauthorized Immigrants in the United States Unauthorized immigrants living in the United States are more geographically dispersed than in the […]

1) One of the two things I heard over and over when people talked about the original list with older people was some variation of, “I wish I had spent a lot less money on frivolous things and saved a lot more money when I was a teenager.” 2) The other recurring theme from older […]

Much of the left, Steve Benen serving as a perfect example, are missing an essential point about the tea parties planned around the country. They aren’t about the level of taxation now. Instead, those attending them understand that with the massive spending undertaken by the federal government and the massive amounts of currency pumped into […]

After visiting Michigan, my home state, this last summer, I wrote an emotional post expressing my grief at how the state has declined. It is still difficult to contemplate, because the place is so dear to me. You can understand why, then, this article from the Detroit News was difficult to read. Here’s the facts. […]

There may be more to Kathleen Sebelius’s rabid support for abortion than a dread of the patter of little feet. The tax cheat Abortion Queen was paid more for her fanatical stance than she’s been willing to admit: President Barack Obama’s health secretary nominee, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, got nearly three times as much political […]

Now that the War on Terror is over (even if terror’s war on us has only just begun), what to do with the Department of Homeland Security? The answer: use it to suppress political opposition. From a DHS report entitled “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment,” via Ace […]

It just hit me when I woke up today: I have never in my life participated in a protest. But, tomorrow I will be part of the Tea Parties. I have no idea what to expect. It is actually quite funny; the Right is just not involved in many protests. As P.j O’rourke has joked, […]

One of the much remarked upon annoying things that pompous *ss Jon Stewart does on a regular basis is his “clown nose on / clown nose off” routine. In between his jokes, he makes serious political points. However, if he gets called on it, it’s “Woah, woah, I’m just a comedian.” In other words, he […]

I’m not going to tell you what my my decision is, but I want to know your opinion. I would bring my kids to the Tea Party: Yes No    pollcode.com free polls

The troops are considerably more popular than the media, either political party, Congress, or our deified President with feet of clay who’s working tirelessly to ruin everything good about America. That’s why having the troops like you is quite a big deal for a politician. Unfortunately for Obama, the troops tend to lean to the […]

An email I received this morning read in part, “Since you are an established writer and a columnist for many websites, and I am new to this, do you have any suggestions as to how I can get published and/or more exposure on other websites? I’m also curious as to how conservative writers have been […]

Liberalism, political correctness, and stupidity on the march Brown University is taking the “Columbus Day” out of Columbus Day weekend. The Ivy League school’s faculty voted Tuesday to establish a new academic holiday in October called “Fall Weekend.” The long weekend coincides with Columbus Day. Hundreds of Brown students had asked the Providence school to […]

So says one of the leading Nutroots voices at MyDD I’m sure it hasn’t gone unnoticed that I’ve been blogging a lot lately about how out of touch the right-wing is with mainstream public opinion. There is a consensus in this country of support for our president as well as his agenda that is driven […]

When the average person thinks “evil,” he thinks of a cruelly-featured, sneering, bestial man wickedly twirling his mustache as he draws perverse delight from inflicting misery on his fellow human beings. People who fit the almost cartoonish definition we’ve grown accustomed to viewing as evil, certainly do exist — and we hear about those dictators, […]

After skillfully managing the bailout of GM and throwing billions of dollars in taxpayer money at it, our man Timmy (Geithner) has told GM to prepare for bankruptcy: General Motors Corp. is believed to be preparing to file for bankruptcy by June 1 after being directed to plan for a filing by the U.S. Treasury […]
