Chinese PWN Obama During Human Rights Speech

Posted on by William Teach

This is the kind of thing that was bound to happen after the Sec. Of State started off the year by telling the Chinese government that human rights were second to economic survival. It’s also the the kind of thing a country can do when they hold a huge chunk of the U.S. debt in […]

 

Oops! Americans Overwhelmingly Disagree With Obama On Civilian KSM Trial

Posted on by William Teach

I didn’t write it in my post on KSM, but, I did drop some comments around some sites wondering what the polls would say regarding Obama’s gaffetastic idea to prosecute KSM and the other folks involved with 9/11 in civilian courts in NYC, two blocks from the site where the World Trade Center stood. About […]

 

Five Terrible Cruelties of Liberalism

Posted on by John Hawkins

“You will find that I am kind. Unlike the cruel Leonidas, who demanded that you stand…I require only that you kneel.” — King Xerxes, 300 Liberalism is an extraordinarily deceptive, ruinous and cruel ideology. That’s because liberalism comes, arms wide open, whispering sweet words of compassion and pity, even as it forcefully slams down a […]

 

Thinning The RINO Herd?

Posted on by McQ

Here’s an interesting exchange between Chris Wallace and Republican GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Fox News Sunday yesterday: WALLACE: Let me turn, because I would – I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I didn’t ask you a few political questions, Senator. Conservatives are now talking about launching primary challenges against […]

 

Illinois’ Gov And Senator Think Terrorists Bring ‘Good-Paying Jobs’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Once again we see how clueless Democrats like Illinois Governor Pat Quinn and Senator Dick Durbin are on matters of national security. With Barack Hussein Obama’s decision to treat the terrorists at Guantanamo Bay as if they are common American criminals, as the president bestows all American rights upon them, and with his decision to […]

 

Lift a Glass to the Past: America Rooted in Tradition or a New Covenant?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Is the United States a grand experiment, a new covenant invented out of whole cloth by the fertile minds of the founders from never before seen ideas or is it a nation spawned from deeply rooted traditions of western thought? This was the question posited in a one-day-long conference on classicism in America’s founding sponsored […]

Today’s Andrew Sullivan Obvious
Lack of Self-Awareness Update

Posted on by Robert Stacy McCain

Having been on the road a lot lately, I’ve had little time to keep track of the psycho-dramatic peregrinations of Andrew Sullivan. One of the most hysterically laughable aspects of Sully’s recent blogging is how he engages in psychological projection, accusing others of his own most obvious faults, to wit: I’ve heard it before from […]

 

The Sarah Palin Storm Begins: Will Her Book Bring Her Back?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

The jealous ovary hater Andrew Sullivan froths again. Sarah Palin must be peeking her head out of Alaska and Facebook. How DARE she?! Still, I can’t help but imagining the envy among fellow Republicans. Rick Perry spouting about Obama’s socialism won’t get the press that Sarah Palin’s discussion about anything will get. And still Sarah […]

If it is a day ending in a “y,” it must be a day for climahysteria (via The Clamour Of The Times) Scientists will this week warn that Italy may be forced to import the basic ingredients for pasta, its national food, because climate change will make it impossible to grow durum wheat. In a […]

 

Genocide In India: The Logical Conclusion When Life Is Devalued

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

I’ve written about this before [read here] and received this comment today from Rita Banerji: I lived in the U.S. for many years and I was and am still pro-choice. Yet, when I returned to India as an adult even my pro-choice mind could not comprehend the absolute horror of the fact that in less […]

 

President Neophyte Gets Snippy Over Afghanistan Questioning

Posted on by William Teach

I suppose when you are used to the press treating you like you are a barely teenaged Disney TV star, you get a bit snippy when they ask you tough questions President Barack Obama made no effort to conceal his irritation when his press corps used the first question of his maiden Far East trip […]

 

The Grey Lady Gets It Wrong – Again

Posted on by McQ

Editorializing yesterday, the New York Times says: Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. took a bold and principled step on Friday toward repairing the damage wrought by former President George W. Bush with his decision to discard the nation’s well-established systems of civilian and military justice in the treatment of detainees captured in antiterrorist operations. From […]

 

Decline of the Brady Campaign, rise of Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns, and the assault on the Second in Pennsylvania

Posted on by Doubleplusundead

Believers in the Second Amendment have much to be happy about, even with having a strongly anti-2nd president in power, and a party in control of Congress that traditionally doesn’t respect the 2nd Amendment. Not only have pro-2nd activists generally held the line on rights, they’ve expanded them in some cases. Obviously we had the […]

 

Beer-Swilling Stimulus: Taxpayers to Fork Over $17 Million for Billy Carter Gas Station Preservation!

Posted on by Donald Douglas

Wonders never cease! From the Los Angeles Times, “Billy Carter’s Old Gas Station: A National Monument?“: In the age of the $787-billion stimulus package, it is, perhaps, a modest question: Should the American taxpayer foot the bill to enshrine the gas station run by the late Billy Carter — the beer-swilling, wisecracking, self-professed redneck brother […]

 

Yes, Liberals – It IS Wrong for the POTUS to Bow at 90 Degrees to Other Heads of State

Posted on by Sister Toldjah

It never fails that any criticism of President Obama from conservatives is met with the usual “they’re overblowing it/they’re being stupid” cry from some on the left, and this weekend is no different. In response to the legitimate outcry over the President bowing at a clear 90 degree angle to Japanese Emperor Akihito, liberals at […]

Posted on by William Teach

Let’s talk about bowing in Japanese culture, also known as Ojigi Ojigi (bowing) is an essential part of Japanese daily life. People bow when saying hello, thanking someone, apologizing, saying good-bye and introducing themselves. Although shaking hands (akushu) has become accepted as a form of greeting, many Japanese still are not used to it. The […]
