Question: “John, given how treating terrorism like a criminal offense hurt us greatly in the 90’s and ultimately gave us 9/11, why do you think liberals want to go back to adopting that strategy?” — decypher “As a follow up to that…. How is treating terrorism (as long as we are talking about individuals as […]

Question: “Why is the Left afraid of Sarah Palin?” — Dick_Nixon Answer: There are multiple reasons why the left hates Sarah Palin. They despise her for being a “regular Sally” made good — that’s something their politicians pretend to be, but never really are. She didn’t go to an Ivy League School. She has an […]

Remember when you got in a fight with a friend and then some sanctimonious busy body got in the middle and tried to mediate and you both turned on him and wanted to beat him senseless? Well, in the Senate, there are a few mushy middle types who believe they know what is best for […]

An interesting turn of events: In Democratic legal circles, no attorney has been more pilloried than former Bush Justice Department official John Yoo, chief author of the so-called torture memos that Barack Obama last week sought to nullify. But now President Obama’s incoming crew of lawyers has a new and somewhat awkward job: defending Yoo […]

A symbolic difference between the Clinton and Bush 43 administrations is that W insisted on a coat and tie at all times in the Oval Office as a show of respect, whereas Bubba didn’t even feel compelled to keep his pants on. But jackets are no longer required under Chairman Zero. The New York Times […]

Britain is always a good place to look if you want to see what it will mean for our society that liberal government is becoming alarmingly more powerful. The latest outrage — children denied to their grandparents are turned over by the State to a pair of homosexuals to be raised in an atmosphere of […]

Name the minority. Just think of one. At one time or another, that minority–Irish, Italian, Black, Mexican, Cuban, etc.–has taken the back seat to the more prominent, and usually earlier, American immigrant majority. And yet one group, no matter the color, who always follows: Women. Sarah Palin’s mistreatment this last election at the hands of […]

Should the New York Times go non-profit? That’s a thought. Will it matter if they do? I’m not sure. From Gizmodo (who has a great video): The piece is about the earliest days of digital media, when the lucky few home computer users could view content from a handful of prominent papers on their “television […]

The Natalie Dylan case has been fascinating from the beginning — and by the way, if the name Natalie Dylan isn’t ringing any bells, she’s the girl who may sell her virginity for as much as $3.8 million dollars. First off, I’m still not entirely sure why she’s getting offers of that size. Granted, she’s […]

“All U.S. taxpayers would enjoy the same immunity from IRS penalties and interest as House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel (D-NY) and Obama Administration Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, if a bill introduced today by Congressman John Carter (R-TX) becomes law. Carter, a former longtime Texas judge, today introduced the Rangel Rule Act of 2009, […]

Over the last few years, conservatives have spent a surprising amount of time kicking the Republican Party in the behind — and deservedly so. While the GOP is still going to need to be relentlessly flogged from time to time until the party’s morale improves (Ha!), it’s nice to see them finally starting to get […]

This t-shirt logo, (found via E.M. Zanotti) is pretty awesome because you just know the empire would be busting out exactly the same sort of soaring rhetoric Obama is using today, As we all know, the storm troopers were all cloned government workers and like real government workers, they’re not particularly good at their jobs. […]

Today, the smartest, most wonderful man on the planet seemed to be baffled when he wasn’t able to walk through a window, It looks like President Obama hasn’t gotten acquainted to his White House surroundings. On the way back to the Oval Office Tuesday, the President approached a paned window, instead of the actual door […]

I‘ve been doing a lot of reading in the MSM and among pundits concerning this seemingly counter-intuitive “stimulus” package being rushed through Congress. Thomas Oliver best sums up why I see it as “counter-intuitive”: You read that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says about half the new administration’s $825 billion stimulus won’t kick in for […]

For the next 1,000 years, historians will look back and wonder what happened to this country that its people would turn over the government to greedy socialist pigs like Obama, Reid, and Pelosi, whose farcical “stimulus package” may literally bankrupt our entire society. This gargantuan pile of pork, which only a drooling mental defective could […]

A stimulus bill ostensibly stimulates the economy to grow. That means that money is put into a system to grow or build things that people want to buy–creating jobs and then creating money and then creating consumers who buy other stuff. It’s not rocket science, really. That’s not what this Stimulus bill before the American […]

Of all the cheap frauds pushing the global warming hoax, NASA’s profiteering James Hansen is the most shameless, second only to Al Gore himself. Hansen has repeatedly been caught passing phony data. Despite granting 1,400 on-the-job (and on our dime) interviews, Hansen claims to have been muzzled by the Bush Administration. At the same time, […]

Courtesy of the Democratic Underground, here’s the latest piece of liberal “art,” sellitman: P*ss on Bush (Literally!) President Bush, art urinal, by Clark Sorensen. From EXHIBIT: ‘DOWN THE DRAIN’ -THE LEGACY OF GEORGE W. In the spirit of bipartisanship and love of the arts, I’d like to match this fantastic piece of “artwork.” Tell you […]

Based on this last election cycle, I’ve come to the conclusion that people say that don’t trust the media, but their dominant opinions are still formed by the media. Remember the video of people who could tell you that Sarah Palin’s daughter was pregnant but could remember one Obama idea? It’s kinda like all Americans […]

“Yes. And all I can say is thank you for Joe Biden, because he is going to always give us some laughs. He’ll say something crazy and out there, and it will be fun. And Sarah Palin, you know, we can always rely on her to come back and give us some material. But it […]

The legal system we have in this country is absolutely insane. It’s geared up to produce lawsuits, is extremely easy to abuse, and the results of going to court are often so completely random and over-the-top, that the results of lawsuits seem to be completely random at times. For example, take the case of Timothy […]

Last week, my roundup of reaction to Obama’s inauguration speech prompted one commenter to accuse me of coming down with “Obama Derangement Syndrome,” to which I replied sarcastically. Now, over at Pajamas Media, I’ve written a whole article about ODS: Where are the right-wingers mounting anything remotely like the mass demonstrations organized by International ANSWER? […]

I’m already sick of hearing Republicans in DC whine because the Democrats aren’t including them in discussions. I’m sure they care a great deal about that, but nobody else in America does. If you don’t like how they’re treating you, vote against what they’re doing in a block and make them respect you instead of […]
