Year: 2009

I will never understand why Republicans didn’t fight harder – or at all, really – over the Fannie and Freddie Mac housing crisis before and after its ramifications turned our economy upside down. It’s not as if it was hard to see disaster approaching. And apparently many in the Bush Administration did. Unsurprisingly, their warnings […]

It sure has been getting low-key coverage in the MSM, but it appears the election in Iraq went off very well and is producing some surprising and, frankly, good results. 14,400 candidates stood for office. Unlike 2005, when 200 candidates were killed prior to the election, this time 8 were lost. 14 of the 18 […]

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.

September 11 has been forgotten by most, or Chairman Zero could never have been elected. But even some moonbats still remember the heroism of the many firemen who were killed on that awful day. The TV show “Rescue Me” will keep the memories alive by featuring an NYC firefighter who believes the atrocities of 9/11 […]

Douglas Feith was the Undersecretary of Defense under Donald Rumsfeld and he was heavily involved in invasion planning for Iraq and Afghanistan. His book, War and Decision: Inside the Pentagon at the Dawn of the War on Terrorism, has just come out in paperback and it is a MUST READ for anyone who wants to […]

Vladimir Lenin, who imposed a communist police state on Russia, famously said: Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever. Our own schoolmasters get the kids for much longer — and they’ve taken Lenin’s lesson to heart: Students at an elementary school in New Rochelle, NY, a largely Democratic […]

Spouting off on Twitter, as is my custom, I offended a Senate staffer who said that other Senate staffers (and maybe Senators themselves, who knows) were offended by my blanket statement that, to paraphrase, “Republican Senators are a bunch of inbred cretins”. Okay, so that’s not the nicest way to say what Thomas Sowell more […]

From War and Decision: Inside the Pentagon at the Dawn of the War on Terrorism “Critics commonly suggest that every problem is the result of some policy maker’s error. But policy making often involves choosing to accept one set of likely problems over another.” – Introduction, P. xiv “Law enforcement is mainly an after-the-fact apparatus. […]

Fresh off of getting enmeshed in the Blago pay-for-play Senate seat scandal, Rahm Emanuel is breaking DC zoning laws, Rahm Emanuel, Barack Obama’s right-hand man, lives in a basement apartment on Capitol Hill rented to him by Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro. Just one problem: He’s not allowed to live there. That’s what private investigator Joseph Culligan […]

According to Nancy Pelosi, we’re going to lose 500 zillion, jillion jobs per month until the stimulus package is passed, Many conservatives have mocked Nancy for this ridiculous statement, but as per usual, the right-wingers are missing something very important. As the all-knowing and wise Lightbringer who leads us has pointed out, there are actually […]

Unlike those on the Left, who undermined the legitimacy of President George W. Bush and took every opportunity to humiliate and hamstring him, it gives me no satisfaction to see President Barack Obama struggle at every turn since his inauguration. It’s not good for America to have the President putting forward tax cheats and criminals, […]

Now the socialists in the Obama administration are moving to actually micromanage what people can be paid, Later this morning the White House and Treasury Department will announce new restrictions on executive compensation on financial institutions receiving government funds. An Obama administration official tells ABC News that under the new rules, companies receiving exceptional assistance […]

Here at the beach, we’re having the hardest snow I’ve seen since I moved here. This is actually the first time I’ve seen the snow stick on the ground. Of course, that doesn’t make us Green Bay or anything, but still, I’d like to thank Al Gore for going so over-the-top in an effort to […]

From RWN reader RtWingNtCase, Wow, provincial elections are over and now I can take a breath. At least until we gear back into registering SoIZ (Sons of Iraq) again. I’ve been able to kind of follow the news over here and was stunned to see that the Republicans held together against the Stimulus Plan. I […]

Of course “Dear Leader” and the boys also call the missile the Taepodong-2 and it is supposedly capable of reaching the US (Alaska or Hawaii – and no Sarah Palin can’t see NoKo from Alaska). But as the title indicates, there’s little doubt about why it is to be launched: The apparent preparations for a […]

No wonder Democrats are so gung-ho about the Unfairness Doctrine, which would coerce radio stations to feature left-wing talk show hosts even if no one wants to listen to them. Two weeks into the Age of Obama, and already DC’s WWRC OBAMA 1260 has been forced to change format because radio listeners get enough moonbattery […]

It used to confuse me that 20-something adolescents in black clothes with bugs in their hair call themselves anarchists while espousing a communist ideology by which the State provides everything for free at someone else’s expense. If anarchy is no government, and communism is absolute enslavement to government, that would make them opposites, right? But […]

Dave Weigel interviewed a Republican activist from Virginia at the RNC meeting: According to Chase, what the Republicans needed was more clarity, more conservatism, and more exposing of how the Democrats wanted to run people’s lives — how they wanted to decide which baby birds got the worms. “I supported Mitt Romney, because John McCain […]

The old rule used to be that if you can’t do, teach. The new rule is that if you can’t do, become a TV “expert”. I’ve done enough media to be a total hypocrite about this, just for your information. But still, who thought it was a good idea to give Matt Millen Big Fat […]

For a big man, President Barack Obama sure has a small man’s complex. The Anchoress has written repeatedly about Barack Obama’s smallness, his “lack of generosity”. Here she says about Obama’s treatment of the Iraqi voting triumph: How awful and really sad, and incredibly childish, to think you can only be proud of your country […]

Liberals say we don’t. This story says that we do. North Korea to ‘Test Missile Capable of Striking U.S.’ North Korea is preparing to test fire a long range missile capable of striking the United States, according to media reports in South Korea and Japan this morning. The Yonhap News Agency in Seoul quoted South […]

It seems to have escaped the notice of very few people that the Democratic Party is incessantly calling for taxes on the American people even as some of its highest ranking members have cheated on their taxes. This has produced a bevy of great quotes today, “Change… It Used to Be We Found Out About […]

“The grand Keynesian myth is that you can spend money and thereby increase demand. And it’s a myth because Congress does not have a vault of money to distribute in the economy. Every dollar Congress injects into the economy must first be taxed or borrowed out of the economy. You’re not creating new demand, you’re […]

Liberals view the government as a force for good that should be used at every possible opportunity to reorder people’s lives. This is an outgrowth of the liberal belief that most people are stupid and unable to ascertain what’s in their own best interests without the intercession of their superiors (liberals) to show them what’s […]

Had a discussion with a liberal Texan who has not, in her adult years, experienced economic difficulty. That is, unlike me, she has not lived in an economically dying state (New York in the mid-90’s, Michigan in the late 90’s early 00’s) and finally, an economically dead state (NY and MI now). So, a few […]

Okay, guys. I know you’re at work and can’t watch video. So come back tonight, when you get home and watch this. It’s been ridiculous that there hasn’t been anyone able to imitate Obama since he’s so easily impersonated. Finally, a spoof: Cross-posted at MelissaClouthier.com

Liberals are certainly getting our money’s worth out of taxpayer-subsidized PBS affiliate KCET in Los Angeles. Check out this completely over the top ode to Chairman Zero: Obama is the more perfect union. He is a house united. Obama is the New Generation and the hot light of a dawn that goes way beyond clever […]
