AGW Today: Orympics, Titles, Higher Energy Prices

Posted on by William Teach

Ret’s start with some right hearted sirriness, sharr we? (yeah, I know, it’s mean writing it that way) Tokyo governor Shintaro Ishihara warned on Wednesday the 2016 Olympics could be the last Games, with global warming an immediate threat to mankind. “It could be that the 2016 Games are the last Olympics in the history […]

 

Resolution Denouncing Alan Grayson (D) Coming?

Posted on by William Teach

Catching up on the Alan Grayson affair from yesterday, in which I figured that there would be no condemnation resolution submitted by the GOP, well………. House Republicans changed course: on Wednesday and decided not to move forward with a resolution condemning Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Florida, for saying that the GOP health care plan calls for sick […]

 

I like guns. (Plus, my hilarious anti-gun hate mail)

Posted on by Ashley Herzog

Yeah, that’s me on the right. As you may have heard, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case against Chicago’s gun ban this week. Therefore, we can expect lots of hysteria from know-nothing anti-gun crusaders who get all their facts from Michael Moore documentaries. I’ve written about gun rights–here and here. The hate […]

 

Feminists and rape. And Whoopi Goldberg is an idiot.

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

Crossposted at TabithaHale.com According a recent conversation on The View, there are apparently varying degrees of rape. And Whoopi Goldberg doesn’t think that oral, anal, and vaginal pentration, despite being told no (several times), was actually rape. So here’s the thing, Whoopi. Rape is rape. As AllahPundit pointed out, Samantha Geimer’s testimony claims that it […]

 

NC Terrorism Suspect’s Home Searched

Posted on by Dan Riehl

It’s getting so it is hard to keep up with all these guys. Anes Subasic – a Bosnian Muslim. Plenty of info and links via Wikio. A CD labeled “September 11, 2001” in Arabic? Gee, what could that possibly be? RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Federal investigators have searched the home of a North Carolina terrorism […]

 

Lefty Outrage at ‘Conservative’ Article Misses Key Fact, Writer Isn’t Conservative

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left is in an uproar today. They got their panties in a bunch over a piece that ran on the conservative newsblog NewsMax.com where it was suggested that Obama’s irresponsible actions as president could result in a military coup that would “restore” the Constitution. Not completely without reason, many lefty blogs have lost their […]

 

A Telling Quote on Slavery Reparations

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If you want to know what the ultimate goal is of those that want reparations for the American slave trade, you have to look no farther than a telling quote that appeared in the Memphis Commercial Appeal on September 25. For slavery reparation advocates, the ultimate desire is not contrition, no apology will do, no […]

 

I Get Emails: Funny Graphic Of The Day + Bush Vs. Obama

Posted on by John Hawkins

Let me say the same thing today that I said about Bush when he was President: Although I think Bush did a much better job on national security issues and foreign policy than people give him credit for, he was a huge disappointment on the domestic front. Yet, horrible approval rating and terrible messaging aside, […]

 

ACORN Front Group Nailed for Vote Fraud in New York

Posted on by Dave Blount

One reason Comrade Obama and the ultra-left leadership in Congress have shown such open contempt for the consequences their extreme agenda will have at the polls is they have been counting on their foot soldiers in ACORN to tilt the balance with operations like this: Dozens of forged and fraudulent absentee ballots from people registered […]

 

Communist dictators: Not hot.

Posted on by Ashley Herzog

(Cross-posted on my blog, Herzogian.) My column on YAF’s “No More Che Day”–an effort to expose the real Che Guevara and his role in the Castro regime–ran on Townhall yesterday. Enjoy! On the eve of the French Revolution, the aristocrats inhabiting the palace of Versailles enjoyed, “as an ironic lark, sporting the clothing of the […]

 

Federal Recovery Tracking Website Hides $$ to ACORN

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We are discovering that Obama’s promised transparency only goes so far in reporting where stimulus money ends up going. The new tracking website, Recovery.gov, is supposed to let us all know where the federal “stimulus” money is going but apparently will not track money that goes to groups like the Association for Community Organizations for […]

 

Why Is Everyone Going All Domestic Military Violence?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Good grief! I go to Memeorandum and see looney tunes from across the spectrum talking about war–not with Afghanistan or Iran–but war with ourselves. A coup. A dictatorship. Is there a rhetorical war? Yes. Are the leftists intent on “remaking America” blisteringly angry? Yes. Are the Silent Majority stirred? Yes. Does that mean people are […]

 

The Left Has Lost The Narrative

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Consider all the ways they’ve undermined themselves. It’s delicious: Racism: They’ve pulled the trump card too many times. Obama finished the narrative with his presumption of guilt with the arresting officer of his old buddy Yale professor Skp Gates. Sexism: Between tossing Hillary Clinton like a used dinner napkin and treating Sarah Palin like the […]

 

Here Comes The Senate Cap And Tax Bill!

Posted on by William Teach

And it is only 800 pages! A climate change bill circulating in the Senate on Tuesday is slightly more ambitious than one passed in the House of Representatives, but still has many details to be worked out on how to encourage companies to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases. The legislation by Senators Barbara Boxer […]

 

Sigh. Proving That There Are Wackos On Both Sides Of The Aisle

Posted on by William Teach

I really wanted to go with “Clowns To The Left Of Me, Jokers To The Right,” then I noticed that Cassandra already used that headline. I also wanted to use a different word instead of wackos, but, hey, trying to keep it family friendly since this is being cross posted. Oh, well. Flipping a coin, […]

 

Why Is America Paying Such Reverence to China’s 60th Anniversary?

Posted on by Duane Lester

On October 1, 1949, Mao Zedong led the Communist Party of China into power. Since then, anywhere between 35 to 65 million people have been killed in China by the communists. The Great Leap Forward was the second five year plan implemented by Mao in 1959. It was intended to rapidly develop China’s industrial sector […]

 

Health Care: Treating A Life And Death Situation Like A Mere Political Game

Posted on by John Hawkins

I believe that one of the unspoken reasons for the furious tenor of the health care debate has been the profoundly non-serious way the whole issue has been handled by the Democrats. We’re talking about a government takeover of 1/6 of the US economy — so, this is an issue that will literally affect the […]

 

The Curious Case of Linda McMahon

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We seem to have a trio of sudden Republicans in the news these days. I say sudden because there is a lack of any long history on the part of these three candidates of being Republicans for very long before running for office. In fact, it seems that all three only became Republicans once they […]

 

NBC’s Gregory Assumes Liberal Argument for Healthcare, Raises ‘Right Wing Conspiracy’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In a Meet the Press interview with Bill Clinton on September 27, NBC’s David Gregory seemed to assume as accepted fact that the only way to fix healthcare was for Americans to “pay higher taxes.” He also asked the former chief executive if the “vast right wing conspiracy” that his wife bemoaned in 1998 was […]

 

Democrats Kill Public Option In Senate

Posted on by McQ

Not that I’m complaining. Max Baucus’ Senate Finance Committee voted on Jay Rockefeller’s public option amendment. No joy for public option supporters: After five hours of debate, the Senate Finance Committee this afternoon voted down Sen. Jay Rockefeller’s proposal for a public option to compete with private insurers. Though a majority of the committee’s Democrats […]

 

Only 16% Like The Job Congress Is Doing… Surprise!

Posted on by Alex Nobles

Surprise, Surprise! It does not matter which side of the isle you are on, or if you are right in the middle, you are disgusted with congress. When the American people pay attention to politics, congress tries its very best to put on more than a show than normal. What a sad thing to see. […]

 

Al Franken, the New Senator From ACORN

Posted on by Dave Blount

Before he became our Community Organizer in Chief, Comrade Obama was known to some as “the Senator From ACORN” due to his extremely close ties to that nefarious organization. The dubious title now belongs to an equally dubious Senator, who took office after resorting to vote fraud more blatant than you will find in most […]
