Year: 2009

UPDATED: Yesterday, I wrote about this. Today, Reuters is confirming the concern. President Obama plans to release terrorists into the United States population. Yes, you read that right. It’s worse than you think: “For those who are in that second category, who can be released, there are a variety of options that we have. Among […]

I know this will come as a complete surprise, but some Democrats have been lying to you. But before we get to that, let’s review. AIG was deemed dangerously insolvent a few months ago, so insolvent that it required the government to step in and save it. It was one of the “too big to […]

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.

How does Barack Obama increase your taxes without obviously increasing your taxes? He taxes the lucky Americans who have health care, that’s how. He also makes veterans pay for their own care (more here, here, here and here). What I want to concentrate on today, though, is how the vast majority of Americans will be […]

In case you were wondering why Chairman Zero pushes forward with his radical policies so aggressively, as if he didn’t need to worry about voters throwing out the liberal Congress that enables him, Fox News reports: The U.S. Census is supposed to be free of politics, but one group with a history of voter fraud, […]

Progressives tried prohibition once and it failed. But that’s no reason not to try it again. After all, socialism has failed repeatedly, resulting in the deaths of over 100 million people. Yet they keep inflicting it. Nowadays progressive policies are usually imposed by increments. The next step toward Prohibition II will be raising the price […]

Since Meghan McCain recently became the new Ludwig Von Mises of the Republican Party, the Conservative / Libertarian base must work harder to articulate its values. No longer can we allow Democrats to repackage intellectually defunct dogmas of the past in order to appeal to the drones of society. Instead, we must arm ourselves against […]

I was sent the following article by someone who remembered my April Fools post about what men need to do to keep their relationship hot. That article set off the most bizarre set of circumstances. People believed I was serious. Men sent me adoring letters and thanked me for sharing the truth. It was amusing […]

Even as Barack Obama plans one of the largest tax increases in history through his cap and trade scheme, one that will break a campaign promise and disproportionately affect the poor & the middle-class, he has seen to it that the states are being incentivized to dramatically ramp up the number of people receiving welfare. […]

When Obama was desperately trying to sell his disastrously expensive, $1.2 trillion and counting “Stimulus” bill to the American public, he insisted that it would create jobs. As evidence of this, he said, “Caterpillar’s chief executive…told him the company will rehire some laid-off workers if the stimulus bill passes.” So, how did that work out? […]

(Note: If you’re not a Twitter fan, you’re not going to like this post, so you can just save your time and move on.) Back on Feb 17th, Brooks Bayne wrote a post called, The Newest Way To Game Twitter – Fake Followers. In it, he wrote, Last night, fellow Los Angelean, Jason Calacanis (@jasoncalacanis) […]

Of late, there seems to be an abundance of “Republican” pundits willing to attack other Republicans on demand, trained-seal style, for a wildly applauding liberal media. However, it’s worth noting that none of these pundits could fairly be described as moderately popular or influential in the Republican Party at the present moment — but of […]

Folks, now that I am writing for RWN, I can provide you with the information I regularly receive from the American Petroleum Institute. Below is an email from Jane Van Ryan of API regarding taxes on Energy. At the bottom is a link so that you can get politically involved to prevent politicians from increasing […]

Once a community organizer, always a community organizer, I suppose – from an email I received recently from the Obama campaign email list: The current debate in Washington over President Obama’s budget has made one thing clear — ensuring our long-term prosperity won’t come without a fight. Partisan voices and special interests are showing real […]

John Hawkins has offered me the great opportunity to join the Right Wing News team, and I would like to take this time to introduce myself. Since launching “Copious Dissent – Your Daily Dose of Liberty,” I have been linked to most of the major Right-Of-Center blogs, including Rush Limbaugh’s #2 headline last week. For […]

I just got off a teleconference with the following Congressmen: Chief Deputy Republican Whip Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan, and Congressman Mark Kirk. What follows are my notes, not quotes from the teleconference. The Opening Statement Jim Jordan: This budget is unbelievable. It is going to run the 10 largest deficits in history. To do any […]

The AIG bonus brouhaha has a positive side: it vividly demonstrates that the government should mind its own business, neither bailing out nor hyper-regulating private enterprise. Also, thanks to Chris Dodd, it’s providing some comic relief: Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) on Monday night floated the idea of taxing American International Group (AIG: 0.985, 0.2049, 26.27%) […]

Whatever happened to the hippies who were finally made to come down after spending nearly two years living in somebody else’s trees in Berkeley? Most of them are probably teaching college classes or serving in the Obama administration, but some have gone on to exciting new adventures: A veteran Bay Area activist is in stable […]

Oh, to have a Democrat Senator’s luck! Cross-posted at MelissaClouthier.com

Turns out talk of a “vast right-wing conspiracy” is another form of Leftist projection. Have you ever heard of Townhouse? This is news to me: Townhouse is a closed by-invitation-only liberal listserv begun by blogger and Democratic campaign consultant Matt Stoller [hmmm….no mention of Stoller’s participation in Townhouse on his Wiki or bio, -ed.]. Participants […]

“…American minorities of color — especially blacks — are often born into grievance-focused identities. The idea of grievance will seem to define them in some eternal way, and it will link them atavistically to a community of loved ones. To separate from grievance — to say simply that one is no longer racially aggrieved — […]

So, what do you think? Is it worth 21 million dollars? I’m looking at that floppy octopus arm Obama is holding the change in and the fact that this painting is for sale on eBay and thinking, “no.” On the other hand, the artist is playing it up for all its worth, Make An Offer […]

Everyone is upset that AIG took bailout money, but yet, is still giving out bonuses that they are apparently legally obligated to pay out. The President of the United States is admitting that he’s trying to find a way to circumvent the law in order to block the bonuses, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, […]

“In ordinary times, people who do no more than describe the world around them are seen as pragmatists, while those who imagine fabulous alternative futures are viewed as radicals. The last couple of decades haven’t been ordinary, however. …(T)he pragmatists were the ones simply looking out the window and noticing that the real world was […]

What follows are my notes, not quotes, from a teleconference with Senators John Thune and John Ensign about the upcoming budget battle. Opening Statement John Thune: The budget that has been proposed clearly contradicts Obama’s promise of fiscal responsibility. It’s the largest tax increase in American history. It spends too much, taxes too much, and […]

I mentioned last week that there was a narrative building which could be quite detrimental to the Obama administration. That narrative started with the British press, in a snit about the treatment of British PM Gordon Brown during a visit to the White House, noting that the administration seemed “overwhelmed”. Supporters claimed that was normal […]

Comrades, revise your Newspeak dictionaries at once: The European Parliament has banned the terms ‘Miss’ and ‘Mrs’ in case they offend female MEPs. The politically correct rules also mean a ban on Continental titles, such as Madame and Mademoiselle, Frau and Fraulein and Senora and Senorita. Guidance issued in a new ‘Gender-Neutral Language’ pamphlet instead […]

No doubt Arlen Specter was well rewarded for selling out his party and his country by supporting the obscene Porkulus package. The 30 pieces of silver he will get for voting to abolish secret ballots for unionization are already on the table. Angling for a critical Senate swing vote to pass the “card check” bill […]
