Defending Obama On The F-22 Non-Scandal

Posted on by John Hawkins

Barack Obama is a bumbling, empty-headed, arrogant, dangerous, ultra left-wing statist who’s doing crippling damage to our country. There’s very little good to be said about the man — which, is why there’s really no need to stretch to be offended by stories like this one: When President Obama spoke to troops at Alaska’s Elmendorf […]

Unions Railroading Florida’s Rail Project

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Florida is right now at the vanguard of a new railroad project that could bring good news to those that care about solving bloated state budgets, common sense employment laws, and cutting the corruption that comes with unions by pushing for a non-union workforce with its proposed intrastate rail system. And the unions are incensed, […]

This Week In Quotes: November 27 – December 3

Posted on by John Hawkins

“Here’s a guy without much experience, who campaigned against much of what we put in place … and who now travels around the world apologizing. I think our adversaries – especially when that’s preceded by a deep bow … – see that as a sign of weakness.” — Dick Cheney (The federal government is) “doing […]

Obama Job Summit: Another Manufacturer Opts Out of U.S.A.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

With President Obama carrying on his “jobs summit” this week blaming business for “not hiring enough workers,” it is interesting to see the reaction of at least one major U.S. business to the Obama administration’s actions during this economic downturn. On November 11, David N. Farr, Chairman, CEO and President of Emerson Electric Co., announced […]

Obamacare is Political Suicide Part 32, Featuring Senator Blanche Lincoln!

Posted on by John Hawkins

The liberal line on Obamacare is that despite the fact that it’s unpopular with the public and won’t start paying off until 2014, the smart political move is for Democrats to vote for it. So, how is that theory working out so far for Blanche Lincoln, who’s up for reelection next year? According to Rasmussen […]

 

Global Warming Extremist: Copenhagen Summit Not Nearly Extreme Enough!

Posted on by John Hawkins

NASA moonbat, James Hansen, thinks the upcoming Copenhagen Summit is a farce because it doesn’t do nearly enough to destroy the world economy in order to fight a hallucination: James Hansen, the director of Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, told The Times that he planned to boycott the UN conference because it was seeking […]

 

Inner City Kids and The Politics That Abandons Them

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

We are all aware of the dismal condition of our inner city schools. These children, largely composed of minorities, are trapped in schools that have become little more than lousy daycare centers. Dropping out seems a more reasonable option for many of these children. We all agree that education is the key to lifting kids […]

 

Carbon Corruption From Copenhagen

Posted on by Dave Blount

How appropriate that Denmark, home of the upcoming Hopenhagen power grab, would light the way into our glorious green future by showing us the monumental corruption we can expect when the economy is no longer based on producing goods and services, but on convincing bureaucrats that you are serving Gaia. From the Copenhagen Post: Denmark […]

Posted on by Dave Blount

ACORN whistleblower Anita MonCrief offers stunning revelations regarding the nation’s largest radical left organization, where our Community Activist in Chief cut his teeth.

Obama, the anti-Churchill

Posted on by Matt Latimer

Today the New York Post noted that President Obama did not use the word “win” or “victory” in his rather dull Afghanistan speech. http://www.nypost.com I also didn’t like the fact that he used the troops as props.: Then, of course, when they didn’t applaud enough people like Chris Matthews called West Point “the enemy camp” (as […]

Today We Get Obama’s Jobs Summit Photo-Op

Posted on by William Teach

Yes, that’s right, today is the day, the ONE day, that Obama is going to have a summit to discuss why the Stimulus has failed miserably in lowering the unemployment rate. I wonder how that will go? Bail out the states. Hire an army of caulkers and street sweepers. Pay companies to expand their work […]

John Brodniak: The Sob Story That Isn’t

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

What do liberals do when they lack substance or lose the argument on the merits? They resort to the Compelling Life (or in this case dying) Story. It’s like the world is one long After-School Special to leftists–all weeping tears and make-it-better-actions by government. The only problem is that these stories are often bogus. Michelle […]

Deep Doubts About Obama’s Afghanistan Strategy

Posted on by John Hawkins

I believe that winning in Afghanistan is absolutely essential to America’s national security. Losing would give a huge propaganda victory to Al-Qaeda, could allow them to use that country as a base for terrorism again, and could destabilize Pakistan, which could lead to Al-Qaeda getting their hands on nuclear weapons — and all that is […]

 

How Little Green Footballs Reminds Me Of The Korean War

Posted on by John Hawkins

If you were reading the right side of the blogosphere yesterday, you probably noticed someone commenting on the fact that Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs finally made his break with the Right official with a post.

President Obama’s Afghanistan Speech: Incoherence Wrapped In A Conundrum

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

A couple thoughts: The New York Times got it right: It was two speeches. The first, to appease the Left included tasty tidbits: No torture, Gitmo, successful conclusion, pull-out. The second, to placate anyone who loves freedom and protecting the innocent: Troop increase, generals, brave, Iraq. The speech inspired vitriol from the left because their […]
