Fox News Pounds Moonbat Messiah at NPR

Posted on October 27, 2009October 27, 2009 by Dave Blount

It looks like Rules for Radicals steered The Anointed One down the wrong road when the “isolate your enemies” strategy led him to declare war on Fox News for daring to question his disastrous policies. Even at NPR, the securest bastion of head-up-the-colon elitist liberalism you are likely to find, a free and honest press […]

Is It Any Wonder CNN Is In Last Place? Joy Behar Goes Moonbat

Posted on October 27, 2009 by William Teach

In the war of words that the White House started, Fox News is up 9%. And CNN? They’ve dropped 68% in prime time. And they are dead last among cable news networks, including Headline News. Ratings should get really fun when they start including the cable business news networks. So, what to do? Let Crazy […]

5 Messages for ‘Elite’ Republicans

Posted on October 27, 2009January 2, 2010 by John Hawkins

Conservatives are sick and tired of being taken for granted, misrepresented, and talked down to by the same “elite” Republicans in Washington who hopelessly screwed everything up during the Bush years. Everybody knows exactly whom we’re talking about here. The same snobby, elitist, stuffed shirt, squishy, poll-obsessed Country Club Republicans who went to D.C., forgot […]

How the GOP Should Act More Like the DNC

Posted on October 26, 2009October 26, 2009 by Duane Lester

When I heard today that Harry Reid and the other looters in the Democrat party were going ahead with a public option in their “health care” plan, something became clear to me. There is a distinct difference between the Republican party and the Democrat party. I know this isn’t an epiphany to some who might […]

FOX v White House: The Results Are In

Posted on October 26, 2009 by McQ

Or at least the results since the Obama White House made FOX News the focus of its attempt at dictating which organizations should or shouldn’t be taken as serious “news” organizations: But the White House’s stance also gave extra lift to the network at a time when it is on track to record its best […]

Too Big To Fail? Too Big For A Government Takeover.

Posted on October 26, 2009October 27, 2009 by John Hawkins

The Marxist appetite that has helped drive the Left to attempt to permanently embed itself in the nation’s banking and auto industries has yet to be whetted: A senior administration official said on Sunday that after extensive consultations with Treasury Department officials, Representative Barney Frank, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, would introduce […]

Barack Obama, NOW, And Trivia Politics

Posted on October 26, 2009 by John Hawkins

It would be very easy to use this story as a club to hit Obama with or as a wedge to pry apart the Left, but that’s not where I’m going with it: We asked Terry O’Neill, the new president of the National Organization for Women, what she thought of those Democratic women and others […]

The Wrong Lesson from the Bob McDonnell campaign: Don’t be a Conservative

Posted on October 26, 2009October 26, 2009 by Matt Latimer

In case conservatives have missed it, our betters running the Republican Party think they’ve figured out the way to a Republican resurgence. They want to hide conservatives in an attic somewhere (surprise, surprise). Even National Review (!) has gotten into this act, advising Republicans that the way to win is to learn from Virginia’s Bob […]

Another Hate-Filled, Left Wing Journalist’s Brand of Non-Partisanship

Posted on October 26, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

BigGovernment.com found another hilarious example of how sold out the left-wing, Old Media is to their Obammessiah. This time it is “journalist” John Guerra of the Key West Citizen in Florida who sent a personal email to Representative Connie Mack’s office in reply to a mass emailing that the Representative sent his constituents. Mack’s office […]

Why Does Obama Hate the Poor? Part Two

Posted on October 26, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

On August 13 I posted a piece wherein I facetiously asked “Why does Obama hate the poor?” Then I pointed out that the cash for clunkers program was likely to cause the price of used cars to skyrocket in the near future. I also asserted that the reason this will be so is because Obama’s […]

Productivity & Social Media

Posted on October 26, 2009 by Melissa Clouthier

Another stupid study about wasted work time and spilling company secrets from the Telegraph: More than half of office workers use sites like Twitter and Facebook for personal use during the working day, and admit wasting an average of 40 minutes a week each. One in three of the 1,460 office workers surveyed also said […]

United Nations to Investigate USA for Human Rights Abuses

Posted on October 26, 2009 by Dave Blount

The club of corrupt dictators to which Comrade Obama will soon sacrifice American sovereignty has launched an investigation into human rights abuses in the USA. Our crime? Not forcing enough people to pay for other people’s housing: For those of you who have never even heard of a “Special Rapporteur,” you may be surprised to […]

ACORN Handed Regulatory Authority Over Financial Institutions

Posted on October 26, 2009 by Dave Blount

Apparently it will take more than the astonishing O’Keefe/Giles exposés to disinfect Washington of the disease known as ACORN. Ignoring revelations that ACORN is a cesspool of corruption, Democrats have voted to give it regulatory power over the financial institutions that it habitually shakes down for donations. During consideration of H.R. 3126, legislation to establish […]

An Interview With Robert Spencer About “The Complete Infidel’s Guide to the Koran”

Posted on October 26, 2009October 26, 2009 by John Hawkins

Late last week, I interviewed Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch about his new book, The Complete Infidel’s Guide to the Koran. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our interview. Can you talk about what was referred to as the Koran’s “strange teachings on Christians and Christianity?” Well, I suppose that would probably be […]

I’m A Marine

Yes I am. Can you be a Marine? Yes you can! Read on…. This is from Cassandra of Villainous Company. Who does America call when something absolutely, positively must be destroyed overnight? U.S. Marine Rat That’s right… America’s 911 Force: the Few. The Loud. The Marine team! We’re still looking for a few good blogs […]

Why There Are Fewer Women Bloggers

Posted on October 26, 2009October 26, 2009 by Melissa Clouthier

At Western CPAC there were a row of blogging men with two notable exceptions: Rachel Alexander of Intellectual Conservative and me. Proportionally in political blogging and in blogging generally, there just aren’t as many women bloggers. David Griner of The Social Path asks why: If you spend any time looking at social media demographics, there’s […]

AGW Today: Intolerance, Camp Outs, And Vegans

Posted on October 26, 2009October 26, 2009 by William Teach

We all know that the Left loves to debate and give people their say, to listen to all points of view, right? Right? RIGHT? A POLITICAL row has broken out over a Derby Conservative councillor’s decision to show a climate change-sceptic film in the city’s council chamber. The new film, Not Evil Just Wrong, is […]

Democrats Seek Way To Take Over “Too Big To Fail” Companies

Posted on October 26, 2009 by William Teach

But, don’t say Democrats are socialist or anything Congress and the Obama administration are about to take up one of the most fundamental issues stemming from the near collapse of the financial system last year – how to deal with institutions that are so big that the government has no choice but to rescue them […]

Fact Checking The Democrats – Private Health Insurance

Posted on October 25, 2009 by McQ

Private health insurance companies have been demonized by the Democrats and the administration as modern day “robber barons” who are raking in obscene profits mostly by denying you coverage. But a simple fact checking dispels that sort of an attack as negative propaganda with no basis in reality: Health insurance profit margins typically run about […]

Hitler, copyright and “fair use”

Posted on October 25, 2009 by Ron Coleman

The “Downfall parodies” aren’t really parodies, in the legal sense. But as this one demonstrates, “Hitler” does seem to understand something about copyright, law, intellectual property management and, of course, slaloming through alternative realities: Never before has an historical figure, much less one of history’s most evil men yet one still regarded as some kind […]

A Reading of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven

Posted on October 25, 2009October 25, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

For a Halloween treat, please enjoy this reading of Poe’s The Raven. I always wanted to hear an old school, horror styled production of the raven, so here it is. The Raven replete with spooky music, lightning, and blustery weather sounds. This is a fun one to heighten your Halloween mood.

Grey Lady Notices Dem Health Plans Could Harm Americans

Posted on October 25, 2009 by William Teach

Back when Operation Iraqi Freedom was a big deal to the media such as the New York Times, especially the body counts and reports of a boot trooper doing something he shouldn’t have done, one used to be able to find stories of good news in the Saturday edition. I had a theory that none […]

Time to Topple the Iranian Regime

Posted on October 25, 2009 by Donald Douglas

From Michael Ledeen, at the Weekly Standard, “We Have Met the Enemy … And it is Iran“: Speaking publicly about the role of Iran in Afghanistan–which is substantial, and about which we have considerable information–seems to be taboo for our current leaders. This is neither new nor surprising. Iranians, and Iranian-trained terrorists from organizations such […]

When Chicago Style Politics Backfires

Posted on October 24, 2009October 24, 2009 by Cassandra

Oh-oh: “One thing I can tell you: They can go out and chase me and chase the Chamber and put stuff in the newspaper. It only . . . drives more and more support. . . . You think we are going to blink because a couple of people are out shooting at us? Tell […]

Are you glad you took the money now?

Posted on October 24, 2009October 24, 2009 by TrogloPundit

In “Goodfellas,” the mob movie that won Joe Pesci an Oscar, the restaurant owner found out what it means to take the money. Not money, exactly — he took protection. He asked the mob boss to become a silent partner, in order to protect him from other mobsters — like Joe Pesci — who were […]

Another day, another ‘nothing to see here, move along’ liberal

Posted on October 24, 2009October 24, 2009 by Kathy Shaidle

So earlier this week I got cc’d on an email with links to a Geert Wilders’ speech on YouTube. The person who sent it said, in effect, “This is a must-see! What this man has to say is very important.” Today one of the CC’s sent this reply: I had a brief look, and if […]

If you love the Earth, burn down the animal shelters!

Posted on October 24, 2009October 24, 2009 by TrogloPundit

The fact that I don’t own a dog offsets the carbon footprint I create with my daily commute, see. Add that to the European vacation (including round-trip flights and several hours on the Autobahn) that I didn’t take, and I am as green as Kermit with the flu. What am I talking about? This: New […]

If It’s Saturday, It Must Be A Day For A Big Climate Change Demonstration

Posted on October 24, 2009 by William Teach

Hey, let’s all jump in our cars and drive to the meeting site. We’ll create lots of signs made from paper, we’ll all have our bottles of water, and we’ll protest man caused global warming, er, climate change, because it is cold Environmentalists across California have organized a series of colorful events: Saturday: to press for tough […]
