“No, don’t start asking questions like that, Oliver Willis. Don’t begin wondering what kind of travel, food and lodging David Brock and Eric Burns bill to their Media Matters expense accounts. Don’t concern yourself with the kind of “swag” freebies and useful connections they accrue as executives atop the pyramid where you remain down at […]

Organizing widespread squatting isn’t the Left’s only tactic for turning the entire country into a slum. Its favorite tool, given its thorough dominance of the legal profession, is the lawsuit. For example, in suburban New York, moonbats are suing to force local government to construct more slums at taxpayer expense. Westchester County officials are gearing […]

According to the Cloward-Piven strategy, society can be destroyed by overwhelming the system, causing the economy to collapse and paving the way for communism. The strategy explains the Democrats’ eagerness to run up debts too huge to be repaid, meanwhile vastly expanding the welfare rolls and other long-term entitlement obligations. Another example of overloading is […]

Capitalism, conservatism, and Christianity are at the heart of America’s success and they’re always constantly under attack. On the political end, we’re fighting the good fight for conservatism and capitalism, but not enough people are digging in for Christianity. So, here are a few low key, low pressure ideas that anybody can do to help […]

Are the Tea Parties actually discouraging Republican elected officials? Currently, Republican Congressmen and Senators are sticking together and voting against the horrendous Obama spending package. And yet, there is significant animus toward our elected Republican leadership. My co-blogger John Hawkins believes we should reinforce Republican politicians when they stick to core principles. I agree. And […]

I suspect that I will rarely have a chance to say this over the next four years, but I think Obama did a reasonably good job of handling the Somali pirate crisis. All the Americans are safe, three pirates are dead, and we have one captured pirate. Personally, I think we should hang the pirate […]

On the same day I had a Twitter conversation with Jane Hamsher, who is absolutely convinced that a nefarious plot by shadowy right-leaning organizations backs the Tea Party movement, I received this email from the actual people doing the Houston organization: Anyone having any meetings the next two days? Would like to stop by and […]

From the WAPO, In the good-news/bad-news spirit of Good Friday comes this report from the Blue Chip Economic Indicators survey of private economists out today: 86 percent of them think that the recession will end in the second half of this year. However, they said, unemployment — which stands at 8.5 percent — will keep […]

Right off the bat, let’s just get a little housekeeping stuff out of the way. How many members does NumbersUSA have and can you tell us a little bit about how fast you’ve grown? We established NumbersUSA in 1996. That’s when we put up our website. …When 9/11 happened in 2001, even at that point, […]

I guess they just want to kill Gaia, or something. India Rejects Calls For Emission Cuts: Officials Say Growth Will Be Compromised Days after the Obama administration unveiled a push to combat climate change, Indian officials said it was unlikely to prompt them to agree to binding emission cuts, a position among emerging economies that […]

Things that are embarrassingly amusing: puppies on the beach, your friends drunk while you are sober, and members of the “reality based community,” such as Roger Cohen For Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, “a combination of ignorance and arrogance” under the Bush administration squandered countless diplomatic opportunities with Iran and […]

The Times reports that Mike Bloomberg, the billionaire mayor of New York who has everything, now also has a pretty sleazy — and by all indications, gratuitous — campaign dirty trick to his credit. It’s push-polling to slime his rival for the mayoralty, Anthony Weiner: As his campaign sought to overpower any candidate considering challenging […]

Not to rain on progressives “see, we told you Obama was Da Man and would TCOB!” parade, but, via The Other McCain through Gateway Pundit from Blackfive, a little follow up I just finished listening to the press conference w/ ADM Gortney about the rescue of Captain Phillips. At the time it happened the USS […]

I don’t care much for SNL, but they pegged Chris Matthews’ hero-worshipping of Barack Obama accurately with a skit they did last night in which they had Matthews imagining the President in a loincloth. Brent Baker has the details here. For recent quotes of Matthews’ salvating over Obama, click here. Cross-posted from the Sister Toldjah […]

Some form of strange aquatic life, not native to the coast of Somalia, helped Captain Richard Phillips escape his pirate captives. He’s now safe aboard the USS Bainbridge. The pirates? Not so good: The American captain of a cargo ship held hostage by pirates jumped overboard from the lifeboat where he was being held, and […]

How cool is this? Not only will the AGW legislation raise the price of basically everything but air, create energy shortages, force companies out of business, and accomplish nothing, but, it will create a whole new victims class, and we all know how the Left likes creating victims An under-the-radar provision in a House climate […]

Matthew 28:1-10 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His […]

As the tea party movement gains momentum, many supports of the President (and opponents of free markets) are becoming increasingly agitated, eager to smear, slander and otherwise discredit the movement. Through e-mail (and in the comments), some of my liberal readers at GayPatriot have suggested that the anti-gay AFA’s (American Family Association) backing of some […]

As part of my graduate work in Mythology (and before that out of intellectual curiosity), I have read much Jungian psychology. Carl Jung was fascinated by pairings of opposites. He explored the psychological meanings of polarities in alchemy and the hieros gamos, the sacred marriage, a union of opposites. Earlier today, when reading a book […]

Mark Steyn writes: “Did you hear about the Catholic, the Jew and the Muslim who walked into a theatre in London, Ontario?” “It’s a stellar bill — Kathy Shaidle, Ezra Levant and Salim Mansur, three staunch friends of real human rights taking on Canada’s pseudo-‘human rights’ racket — live this Monday evening. “(If you’re in […]

Camille Paglia may be a lesbian liberal literary critic, but she’s also an unapologetic fan of conservative talk radio. In her latest exchange of letters and ideas with her readers at Salon.com, she rightly praises Rush Limbaugh’s house parodist, Paul Shanklin as “one of the most brilliant” – and criminally underrated – “satirists of our […]

An entry in Glenn Thrush’s blog at Politico indicates there may be seventeen socialists in the House of Representatives. Rep. Spencer Bachus, the top Republican on the Financial Services Committee, told a hometown crowd in Alabama today that he believes there are several socialists in the House. Actually, he says there are exactly 17 socialists […]

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano: “I referred to “man-caused” disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur.” The Pentagon: “This administration prefers to avoid using the term ‘Long War’ or […]

I‘ve pretty much avoided mention of the bowing incident – it’s a distraction from the more serious things going on. But then the White House says we shouldn’t believe what we saw and throws out a couple of the most ridiculous reasons for what the President did that I’ve heard (an “unnamed” White House source […]

Via blogger friend Rick, we have some video of Sen. Chuck Schumer sticking to the meme that is going to lose the next several elections for his oh-so-powerful democrat party…and the Senator is blissfully unaware of what’s coming out of his mouth. Like a dumb schoolgirl in the tenth grade, he thinks the elections were […]
