Democrats Still Against Transparency in Congress

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

According to McClatchy news, in the Democrat’s 2006 campaign book, in the “integrity” section, the Democratic leadership vowed that legislation would be posted online for 24 hours before consideration of the final versions of any bill. That promise coupled with their president’s claims that he’d post all bills online for five whole days — that’s […]

 

Tea Party Breaks Out in San Francisco

Posted on by Dave Blount

Of all the preposterous claims made by Obamunists before the cataclysm that befell us last November, the one surest to draw bitter laughter from those who knew better was the promise that this megalomaniacal Marxist would unite us. Yet amazingly enough, that’s the one promise he may fulfill. Just as all patriotic Americans loathe what […]

 

A Teleconference With Senator John Thune About Health Care

Posted on by John Hawkins

A few minutes ago, I just finished up a teleconference on health care with Senator John Thune. What follows are my notes, not quotes from the teleconference. Opening Statement We have a 250 billion dollar addition to the debt by paying more to doctors. The Democrats are saying that this won’t add to the deficit, […]

 

Obama’s Desire To Control Fox News, The Media & Everything

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Donald Sensing has a must-read piece about the Barack Obama strategy. I’ll quote one paragraph, but you must go read the whole thing: And to think that George W. Bush was mocked for saying, “If you’re not with us, you’re with the terrorists.” The White House is laying a foundation of future media relations that […]

 

For 39%, Government Option Support Depends On Details

Posted on by William Teach

I guess they will not support it, since there really are no details While the majority of Americans appear to have made up their minds on healthcare reform, 39% say their support for a final healthcare bill will depend on how the details still being worked out in Congress are resolved. The finding comes from […]

 

UN Says Gender ‘Not Fixed,’ Is ‘Changeable’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

UN “Special Rapporteur” Martin Scheinin recently filed a report with the UN titled “Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms While Countering Terrorism” in which he states that human gender is not a fixed thing but a mere “social construct” that is “changeable over time.” In this paper Scheinin, the “Special Rapporteur” — I do […]

 

What Say To A “Green” Military?

Posted on by William Teach

Looks like the days of shooting flowers and hugs at the enemy might be coming sooner then we thought President Barack Obama signed an executive order earlier this month requiring federal agencies to set a 2020 greenhouse gas emission reduction target within 90 days — and he followed up by asking : “our brave men and […]

 

Convenient Rape and the Senate

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

Lefties care about rape when it is convenient to do so. If they don’t have to go out of their way to check pesky facts or give up a decent movie script *polankispupportingdouchebags* or take a hit in the abortion debate or defend a conservative woman, rape is bad. Currently there’s a meme floating around […]

 

Obama’s Big War With Fox News Makes Him Look Small..And Reveals His Relationship With The Press

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Ruth Marcus calls out President Obama (uh oh, no scoops for her): Where the White House has gone way overboard is in its decision to treat Fox as an outright enemy and to go public with the assault. Imagine the outcry if the Bush administration had pulled a similar hissy fit with MSNBC. “Opinion journalism […]

 

Illinois Rep. Biggert Introduces Defund ACORN Bill

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

U.S. Representative Judy Biggert (R, Hinsdale, IL) introduced legislation last week intended to prevent misuse of federal housing counseling funds. “It’s abundantly clear that ACORN and its affiliates cannot be trusted as a federally certified entity,” said Biggert, a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee. “Given the group’s clear links to illegal and […]

 

A View Of Barack Obama: The Right vs. The Left

Posted on by John Hawkins

When I look at Barack Obama, I see a stunningly naive, cowardly, dishonest, vindictive, arrogant, hyper-partisan empty suit, who has gotten as far as he has mainly because he’s black, gives a good speech, and was extraordinarily lucky in his timing. This is a man who rose to the absolute pinnacle of power in American […]

 

Serve.gov Recruits Pro-Abortion Muscle

Posted on by Dave Blount

Attention moonbats: Comrade Obama has called upon volunteers to serve; volunteering is so important, Dems would like to make it mandatory. Now you have a chance to serve Chairman Zero in the most progressive way possible, by facilitating the liberal sacrament of abortion on his behalf. The nation’s largest abortion mill Planned Parenthood is recruiting […]

 

Races Like NY-23 Are Why People Don’t Trust The Republican Party

Posted on by John Hawkins

On a regular basis, we hear Republicans in DC pouting about the base. “Why are they so hard on us? Why don’t they trust us? Why are they so unreasonable?” They don’t take into account the fact that the Republican Party betrayed many of its biggest supporters again and again during the Bush years. They […]

 

Administration Aggrandizes President, Demonizes Others

Posted on by B. Daniel Blatt

Look, it’s entirely fair to criticize the Bush Administration for not adapting our military strategy to meet changing circumstances in Afghanistan, but it’s unbecoming for the incumbent Administration to act as if they’re the first ones to ask critical questions while the previous one did not: One of President Obama’s top advisers said Sunday the […]

 

John Hawkins And Tabitha Hale Reading A Scene From Gone With The Wind

Posted on by John Hawkins

Wendy Sullivan over at Girl On The Right has a thing for Southern accents, particularly mine and Tabitha Hale’s. She has often asked us to do a scene from Gone With The Wind for her. So, for her birthday, Tabitha and I actually read out the “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn” scene […]

 

Gordon Brown: 50 Days Before Global Warming Doom Descends

Posted on by Dave Blount

In light of this revelation, there is only one sensible course of action: PANIC! World leaders have 50 days to save the Earth from irreversible global warming, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Monday. Brown said climate catastrophe would occur if world leaders fail to agree on a climate protection deal at a major climate […]

 

10 Horror Movies For Conservatives To Watch This Halloween

Posted on by John Hawkins

Halloween is almost upon us and you’re probably thinking, “Gee, wouldn’t it be great to kick back on the couch and rent a few conservative horror flicks for the big night?” Here’s the problem: horror films aren’t family friendly. They’re gory, they’re violent, and they’re vulgar. Even setting that aside, there really aren’t very many […]

 

Katrina Victims Can Now Sue Over AGW

Posted on by William Teach

You knew it had to come sooner or later For years, leading plaintiffs’ lawyers have promised a legal assault on industrial America for contributing to global warming. So far, the trial bar has had limited success. The hurdles to such suits are pretty obvious: How do you apportion fault and link particular plaintiffs’ injuries to […]

 

DU Thread Of The Day: The Military Is Waging War On The White House

Posted on by William Teach

It’s been awhile since we had one of these to laugh at. And, of course, a good moonbat thread at the DU must start with some Seymour Hersh The U.S. military is not just fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, America’s most renowned investigative journalist says. The army is also “in a war against the […]

Obamacare Lacks ‘Protection Against Treatment Denials’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The L.A. Times published a story that was probably meant solely as a bash on insurance companies, but still the report brings up several issues that Obamacare will only make worse if passed. The problem raised in the headline, “Healthcare bills lack protections against treatment denials, experts say,” isn’t the only problem the story touches […]

 

Administration Attack on FoxNews Makes President Look Petty

Posted on by B. Daniel Blatt

You know, if the president really wanted to look like he’s secure in his leadership and confident of the merits of his policies, instead of regularly dispatching his minions to trash FoxNews, he’d given them a talking point like this: In this era of multiple sources of news, we’re pleased to see them out there. […]

 

Obama Administration Votes To Restrict Free Speech (update)

Posted on by McQ

This is worrisome. I just featured a story in which Democrats have slipped a “hate speech” bill into the Defense Appropriations bill in a bid to further eroding our 1st Amendment protections. Now we find out that the Obama administration has supported a UN resolution that is also designed to restrict free speech: Around the […]

 

ACORN Destroying Republican Voter Registration Forms

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Not long ago, Pam Geller told the story of an ACORN office in Florida that had destroyed all the Republican voter registration forms it had gotten during a 2008 voter registration drive. Geller had a first-hand account of this crime from one Fathiyyah Muhammad, an Obama voter that is a registered Republican. She is also […]

 

Government Healthcare Applied to AIDS in DC

Posted on by Dave Blount

We don’t need a crystal ball to see what healthcare will degenerate into as Big Government tightens the grip on its throat. Just refer to the District of Columbia, where most everything falls under the purview of liberal statists: In a city ravaged by the highest rate of AIDS cases in the nation, the D.C. […]

 

Anti-Semitism: Okay for Obamunists, Not for Others

Posted on by Dave Blount

The hebephrenic anti-Semitism continues unabated at Chairman Zero’s closely moderated website. Pamela Gellar reports: In April 2008 a typical post appeared, claiming that “Jews owe Africa and Africans everything they have today because if Africa did not shelter them when they were homeless and starving, they would not be here today.” And in July 2008, […]

 

Obama Abandons Abused Women in Afghanistan

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President Barack Obama is putting the finishing touches on making a mockery out of the unsupportable claim that Democrats care about women’s rights by his signal to the Afghan Taliban, warlords, strongmen, militias, and tribal leaders that he’s ready to negotiate with anyone there in order to smooth his efforts in that troubled region. President […]
