Year: 2009

At least one young activist is considering the Lady Godiva approach to this situation. Via Dave, we see the press is ignoring the Tea Party movement. But can they ignore a naked Tea Party? Ah, the sacrifices that patriots must make for the cause of freedom . . . (Cross-posted at The Other McCain.)

Don’t buy or own any property in Mississippi, at least not while Republican Governor Haley Barbour is in the Governor’s mansion: Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour says he’s vetoing a bill that would limit the use of eminent domain because it would hurt the state’s ability to lure economic development projects. The bill would’ve prevented the […]

At 4:07 PM EST, I’m going to be on the Jaz McKay show. Click on Stickam in the left corner to listen to the show.

I don’t care how many times he says it; Barack Obama is not cutting the Deficit!

This weekend, the homes of luddite idiots will be easily identifiable by their darkness, as liberal Kool-Aide–guzzlers switch everything off in honor of Earth Hour. If they can get enough people to turn off their lights, moonbats might temporarily achieve their dream of making America look just like North Korea: Nothing sums up liberalism better […]

History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce. —Karl Marx The Zeus of the liberal religion would be pleased to see his Democrat acolytes fulfilling his prophecy, most recently by passing the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act. Translating from the liberal Newspeak, “volunteerism” means “coercive servitude,” and “education” means “statist indoctrination.” The “GIVE” […]

Still fluish, and trying to sleep while I can, I’m late to the party. I watched Obama’s snore-fest press conference. Here are my impressions: 1. The Press was not as servile as in times past. No, they are no where near the sneering contempt levels that President Bush enjoyed right out of the gate, but […]

There is an old saying: “if you ask “why,” the answer is money.” So, why would so many lobbyists by spreading out across D.C.? Climate lobbyists are flooding Capitol Hill, and they’re not showing up in all the likely places. As uncertainty hovers over passage of an economywide cap on greenhouse gases, advocates are pushing […]

I was out last night and forgot to set the DVR to record Barack Obama’s speech, but I have read the transcript. It was a fairly dull speech, bereft of Obama’s normal soaring rhetoric, but as slippery and Orwellian as we’ve come to expect from him. Obama is a master of that Clintonian tactic of […]

I’ll admit it. I did not watch President Neophytes soiree last night. More interesting things on TV, plus, I make my living talking. And listening to someone go “uh, uh, ah, um, ah” on a constant basis (can’t listen to Gibbs, either) makes me do it. But, maybe he was better, since he had Mr. […]

Complex magazine has a photoshoot with Kim Kardashian coming up and Animal New York has a before and after airbrushing shot from the spread, Now, it’s tempting to look at this, say “so what,” and just move on — but, the practice of airbrushing women in magazines actually has real ramifications. Take this pic of […]

Over at the WashingtonMonthly, there’s a piece by Charles Homans that discusses what happened to Culture11, the Bill Bennett/David Kuo backed blog that lived a short life and died earlier this year. The piece is extremely detailed and well researched, but it’s also so poorly written that it’s hard to get a handle on exactly […]

I’m thinking about the overture Barack Obama made to the “Islamic Republic of Iran” two days after theses same leaders killed dissident blogger Omid-Reza Mirsayafi. Rather than condemn an evil regime, he affirmed them. Meanwhile, those fighting for freedom languish and die: Whether Mirsayafi’s death cows or emboldens Iran’s dissident bloggers remains to be seen. […]

If you ever had to put a picture next to the term “unprincipled political hack”, I think Arlen Specter’s would be a good choice. Read the following carefully. It’s not that Specter is against the union card check legislation itself (i.e. on “principle” he apparently accepts the premise that the right of a secret ballot […]

Six months ago, I was listening to Mark Levin’s show when he started to describe the book he was writing at the time. He said that he was putting together the historical and philosophical case for Conservativsm. Being well-versed in Conservative books and philosophy, I listened further to hear if this was something worth reading. […]

A public school teacher has earned the slobbering approval of the New York Slimes by inviting his 7th grade class to attend his “commitment ceremony” to another homosexual: In Harlem a week ago, a 32-year-old math teacher handed out slips of paper inviting the entire seventh grade of Columbia Secondary School to his upcoming ceremony, […]

Drab corporate pop excreter and esteemed foreign policy theorist John Cougar Mellencamp is now a social economist, having figured out why his industry has produced nothing but garbage for decades: it’s Reagan’s fault. From a rant quoted at NewsBusters: Reagan’s much-vaunted trickle-down theory said that wealth tricked down [sic] to the masses from the elite […]

In order to have a true populist revolt, a person must define the enemy. Throughout the campaign, President Barack Obama did just that by saying that people owning small businesses making more than $250,000 are rich. (The actual number he’s using is $200,000 for individuals.) $250,000 is very subjective. $250,000 here in Texas is a […]

So far, all we’ve seen from the Obama administration are stunning incompetence, the highest deficits since World War 2, and a lust for power that is more reminiscent of a South American dictator than an American President. Now, after their bungling in the banking industry has turned out to be a complete disaster, Obama is […]

Over at the Moderate Voice, a liberal website where they masquerade as moderates, one of their writers took exception to Cassy Fiano’s comments about green loons in Britain wanting to reduce the population of Britain by 30 million people to protect the environment, The “unfortunate” aspect of this is that as soon as you mention […]

Evan Sayet has done not one, but two great speeches for the Heritage Foundation on liberals. The first, How Modern Liberals Think, got wide play, The second, which was done earlier this month, was called, “Hating What’s Right: How the Modern Liberal Winds Up on the Wrong Side of Every Issue,” — and it was […]

They are apparently going to go after all greenhouse gasses. I wonder if that includes water vapor, the #1 greenhouse gas? Declaring that greenhouse gases are a significant threat to human health, the Environmental Protection Agency has proposed listing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases as pollutants under the Clean Air Act, a policy the […]

Call it socialism, nationalism, progressivism, or fascism (the digital brownshirts legislation and organizing for America issues surely make a good case, as well,) but, whatever you call it, it should cause serious concern for those who love what our country is founded on The Obama administration is considering asking Congress to give the Treasury secretary […]

“I didn’t do it, no one saw me do it, there’s no way you can prove anything!” — Bart Simpson Ah, if only Bart Simpson had a staff and was as shameless as the man in the White House. Oh, the things he could have gotten away with! Just ask Barack Obama, who has blamed […]

A lot worse, frankly — but just wait, and it will get worse. Idiots and economic ignorati are giddily cheering Monday’s market bounce, but it’s just an upward zig that will make no lasting difference in the a long downward zag. In mid-February, economics professor Peter Navarro predicted the Dow would bottom out at 6,000, […]

I often find it interesting that news reports and scientific investigations into AGW so often provide proof that, as Battlestar Galactica fans will realize, this has all happened before and will happen again Scientists are to dig up ice dating back more than 100,000 years in an attempt to shed light on how global warming […]

The Geithner Plan for “Bad Bank Assets” has been published in the WSJ under Geithner’s name. It is pretty much that which was leaked and critiqued by Dale here. James Joyner wonders: To my non-economist mind, that sounds eerily remniscient of the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP), the $700 billion plan passed last October to […]

If you weren’t sure whether or not Environmentalists were anti-human, we learn today that the world’s cheapest car is now going to be launched in India. Guess who cannot stand it…yeah those clowns. In fact, I just remembered that The New York Times was against the car last year.
