Year: 2009

Rumors of Islamic terrorist training camps operating within the United States and Canada have been making the rounds ever since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. A new film is re-focusing attention on the subject, but authoritative proof of their existence – -at least in the numbers being claimed — can be difficult to acquire. […]

Like all dopey ideas, the State of the Union is dealt the most devastating damage when it is taken seriously. Rather like a beached whale suffocating under its own weight — its rib cage simply wasn’t designed to withstand the force. This is going to be some trick. Even the most basic inspection of the […]

Today was kind of an interesting day. This is what our Sitemeter summary looked like, right before lunchtime…five digits before midday. For perspective — “Today,” that field filled in with the 10,000, is reset at 0 every day at midnight. It goes up by one every time we get a visitor. If memory serves, The […]

There is, of course, another responsibility we have to our children. And that is the responsibility to ensure that we do not pass on to them a debt they cannot pay. — President Barack Obama, during the State of the Union Address, after promising a litany of February-Christmas goodies that would have embarrassed Clinton, Carter, […]

A little bit less of the “Once they come together, Americans can do anything!” tonight…from both sides… …a little bit more of “Once Americans are left to solve problems as individuals, using their own best judgment, they can do anything!” …or… “Once Americans are restored the freedom and liberty God intended for them to have, […]

ONCE upon a time, there was a shipwrecked sailor. He had been knocked out in the storm that sank his ship. He was lucky to wake up on the beach. But he had nothing. Not even his memories. He didn’t even know his name. His only possession aside from the clothes on his back, was […]

What’s next? I’ll tell you what’s next… You’re all a bunch of morons! We’re all a bunch of freaking morons! The freaking government has conned us. They freaking conned us!

The Center For American Progress, in a post entitled “Energy Budget Is Sunlight After Eight Years of Darkness” says: The most significant energy proposal in this budget is the inclusion of revenue in 2012 from the auction of all […]

I didn’t expect conservatives at a conservative political get together to bash Bush, but that’s what’s happened in more than one venue. James Joyner of Outside the Beltway feels that in order to define the future, that the Republicans need to define the past. He noted that Clinton won by being a New Democrat. Hearing […]

Cheryl Croak‘s demand that we use only one square at a time was not the last word in the enviromoonbat campaign against toilet paper. From The Guardian, the Bible of Britain’s liberal elite: The tenderness of the delicate American buttock is causing more environmental devastation than the country’s love of gas-guzzling cars, fast food or […]

Long after Western society has collapsed beneath the weight of moonbattery, people will look back and marvel at the technology we developed. But they’ll marvel even more at what we chose to waste it on. Here we see scientists in New Zealand trying to prevent sheep from belching, because — like dimwitted lunatics — they […]

Question: Andrew Jackson said: “The majority is to govern.” To which, John C. Calhoun replied: “Let it never be forgotten that where the majority rules the minority is the subject.” Calhoun, of course, was the leader of those who advocated “nullification.” The question is: at what point must the conservatives accept that the Democrats won […]

Question: Robert A. Heinlein called our times “The Crazy Years” in his Future History. Has our nation gone crazy” — N. O’Brain Answer: No, just the liberals.

Over at ABC News they’re running down Obama’s nearly trillion dollar tax hike. That’s right, he has been in office a little over a month and he is not only proposing the largest tax hike in history, he is already proposing a tax hike bigger than most of the world’s economies. Rather than go into […]

Remember the moonbats who climbed up in the trees in Berkeley and wouldn’t come down for nearly two years because they wanted to prevent a sports complex from being built? Remember Tinseltown bubblehead Daryl Hannah, who climbed into a tree on someone else’s property on behalf of Mexican squatters, so that she had to be […]

When it comes to the sick joke of open borders moonbat Nappy Napolitano serving as head of Homeland Security, every day is a new punch line.

This somehow seems oddly appropriate for the wife of the Mayor of San Francisco, although I am a little surprised it’s not a lesbian sex scene, Jennifer Siebel Newsom is the first lady of San Francisco — but she also stars in a very racy romantic comedy. Before Jennifer even met her husband (Mayor Gavin […]

We’re looking for future leaders of the party and the future leaders must hold to the right sort of ideals. That’s a start. But the man or woman needs […]

It turns out that all those people who bought guns and ammo after Obama was elected were smart because despite all the rhetoric to the contrary, the Democrats are proving to be just as big a group of gun grabbers as they’ve ever been. Obama has been in office just over a month and already […]

The Democrats have large majorities in the House and Senate along with a Democratic President. There are two different ways they could go. The first is to play it safe, stay in the center, and hope to add to their numbers in 2010. That’s certainly what the Republicans would do if they were in the […]

“The $1.75 trillion deficit projected for this year would represent 12.3 percent of the gross domestic product, double the previous post-war record of 6 percent in 1983, when Ronald Reagan was president, and the highest level since the deficit totaled 21.5 percent of GDP in 1945, at the end of World War II.” — MyWay […]
