This Week In Quotes: Sept 11 – Sept 17.

Posted on by John Hawkins

It’s easier for the left to play the race card than address the public’s legitimate concerns, but what the left and the media are doing is damaging and dangerous. It’s damaging because when everything is racist, then nothing is. Those who cry racism without evidence will cause people to tune out in cases in which […]

 

The Glenn Beck Supremacy

Posted on by Donald Douglas

You know, ever since last spring, when Glenn Beck aired his comments about “preparing for anarchy in America,” there’s been something extraordinarily accurate about his commentaries on the Obama administration. The Van Jones resignation certainly cemented Beck’s status as the premier commentator on the contemporary right. Indeed, just last week I argued that “Beck has […]

 

Democrats Try To Revive “Community Reinvestment Act”

Posted on by McQ

There are many, myself included, who believe the ’70s era Community Reinvestment Act was one of the key reasons for the financial meltdown we experienced since it required lending institutions to lend to unqualified borrowers. Byron York reports that some Democrats in Congress refuse to acknowledge that and are now pushing to expand both the […]

 

Nancy Pelosi: Even A Stopped San Fran Cuckoo Clock Is Right Twice A Day

Posted on by John Hawkins

Nancy Pelosi, while remembering the political violence of the seventies, seemed to get a bit choked up as she encouraged people to avoid rhetoric that could encourage political violence. It would be very easy to laugh Pelosi off and come right back at her. In fact, Rep. Pete Sessions has already done so: “Speaker Pelosi […]

 

Barack Obama: Baffled By Foreign Affairs

Posted on by John Hawkins

During the Bush years, all we heard from the Left was, “George Bush is a cowboy! He’s wasting all the goodwill the world had towards us! He’s making people not like us!” Now Barack Obama is President and, yes, America is marginally more liked than we were during the Bush years — but, what liberals […]

 

Obama’s Website Quietly Drops Support of Public Option

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It looks like President Obama’s campaign site cum community organizing website, Organizing for America (OFA), has quietly dropped its claim that the “public option” is a “must” in its healthcare policies open letter to Congress. Originally the open letter told Congress that it “must” vote for the public option. The second bullet point in the […]

 

Health Insurance is Not Like Auto Insurance

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

During his healthcare speech last week, President Obama tried to compare his idea of compulsory health insurance to the practice of mandatory auto insurance now in effect in most of the States of the Union. But as a recent Fox News piece by Judson Berger proves, car insurance is nothing like forced healthcare insurance. The […]

 

Sexual Harassment Rules Employed to Silence Dissent

Posted on by Dave Blount

When you live in a totalitarian society run by demented ideologues, it’s safest to keep your mouth shut and your head down, as a professor at East Georgia College discovered after publicly noting that the innocent have no protection from bogus sexual harassment charges: Professor Thomas Thibeault made the mistake of pointing out — at […]

 

New York Times Retroactively Scrubs Story to Support ACORN

Posted on by Dave Blount

Things may look rough for the country’s largest left-wing activist group, but the child prostitution–enablers at ACORN still have friends in high places — not only in the White House, but also at the New York Times, which has gone back and revised one of its stories in an attempt to make ACORN’s lies more […]

 

Do YOU Believe in the Constitution?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Sam Adams Alliance, a conservative, free market think tank out of Chicago (right in the belly of the liberal beast) has launched a new site today called “I Believe in the Constitution” as a great way to celebrate Constitution day. So, if YOU believe in the greatest governing document ever conceived by the mind […]

 

The Descent of Little Green Footballs

Posted on by John Hawkins

Despite the fact that I never got the impression that Charles Johnson was a conservative, there was a time when Little Green Footballs was amongst the biggest and the best of the conservative blogs. After 9/11, Charles Johnson started covering the radical Islam beat. He didn’t do a lot of commentary, but he was an […]

 

Obama = Weak UPDATED

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

President Obama signaled to the world that dictatorial regimes have carte blanc while struggling Democracies will be left to defend themselves. Today, on the 70th anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Poland, the President announced that there will be no defense shield in Europe. Poland, Europe, is on their own. Russia is the same. It’s the […]

Hmmmm…. The troops aren’t home yet. President Obama continues with Bush’s plans.

Bennett Pushes Back On Health Care Criticism

Posted on by Dan Riehl

Friend and RedState editor Eric Erickson offers some pretty biting criticism: of Utah Senator Bob Bennett and the Healthy Americans Act (HAA): given word that Bennett may be at the WH tonight. Having some: familiarity with the issue and a friend: close to the Bennett camp, I reached out to try and determine what the deal is if I […]

 

Dems Damned If They Do And Damned If They Don’t On Health Care.

Posted on by John Hawkins

Although Max Baucus, Chairman the Senate Finance Committee, did attempt to tinker just enough around the edges of health care reform to pick off the squishy GOP senators from Maine, there were no serious attempts made by Congress or the White House to bring Republicans onboard for a bipartisan health care bill. So now, after […]

 

Dowd, Carter, and the liberals who cry wolf…

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

Racism exists. This is a fact. It is not, however, as prevalent as it was in the 60’s and prior. There is no denying the fact that we’ve made great strides to bridge the gap between races. Kathleen McKinley grew up in Mississippi in the 60’s – these are her thoughts: I think anyone who […]

 

Liberals are more selfish than conservatives

Posted on by Ashley Herzog

(Crossposted at my blog.) In response to Amanda Marcotte’s post on the right-wing reaction to health care reform–which had just the right mix of mouth-foaming hysteria and ignorance–I wrote this column for Townhall, which hasn’t gone up on the site yet. Basically, Marcotte made the oh-so-sophisticated argument that “nice” people support socialized medicine and “mean” […]

 

Sparky’s Cap And Trade Plan Equivalent To Raising Taxes 15%

Posted on by William Teach

I’m sure this is just some sort of raaaaacist posturing by a right wingnut rethuglican group trying to distract from the issues that Americans care abo…….wait, what? The Obama administration has privately concluded that a cap and trade law would cost American taxpayers up to $200 billion a year, the equivalent of hiking personal income […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

After the last three years of President Obama’s graphics and poster art that evokes the style of graphics used in communist propaganda someone in the Old Media has finally discovered the similarity between today’s political graphics and communist styled propaganda art.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Rep. Mark Kirk (R, IL) has been getting hammered by conservatives and moderate Republicans alike for his “yes” vote on the Cap and Trade bill.

Is It Raining, Or Is The GOP Whizzin’ Down Our Backs?

Posted on by Dan Riehl

So, I get an email invite to a conference call on EFCA with Rep. Tom Price (R-GA): I’d very much like to do. Sounds good, right? It did to me, anyway. But what good is a conference call without some well known,: high flying Democrat turned Republican consultant who knows so much about the issues. Sounds good […]
