Blood Tests By Cops? No. Twitter By Surgeons? Yes.

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

A tale of two technologies. I don’t care that blood draws by cops help stop drunk driving, I don’t want a cop near a needle, period. Too many things can go wrong. What about surgeons giving updates from the surgery? Coolness. Doctors take turns, nurses help open and close, and in between a surgeon can […]

From NYC: The scandal surrounding the left-wing activist organization ACORN has spread to New York, with employees at its […]

 

Maryland May Prosecute O’Keefe and Giles for Exposing ACORN Corruption

Posted on by Dave Blount

It’s nice to see there may be charges brought in the case of ACORN thugs being caught on video attempting to facilitate child prostitution, slave trafficking, illegal immigration, and tax fraud — except that the charges would be brought not against Comrade Obama’s ghetto-dwelling shock troops, but against James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles for taking […]

 

Press: Give Up The Pretense, Wait You Kinda Have…

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

I’m waiting for the public announcement by CNN saying that they want to clarify their editorial perspective and that they’re biased to the left. Wouldn’t that be freeing for everyone? Stop the pretending to be objective and just clearly state a bias. It’s not like they’re even attempting to report unfavorable Obama news. Imagine biased […]

 

How To Deal With “Conspiracy Theorists” On The Right

Posted on by John Hawkins

“Jane’s Law: The devotees of the party in power are smug and arrogant. The devotees of the party out of power are insane.” — Megan McCardle That is spot-on — although some people may take exception to that since we Republicans are out of power and are therefore, the ones who are supposed to be […]

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

If you stayed at home and watched the news this weekend, you may not have heard about the teeny tiny fringe of angry protesters that showed up in Washing, DC this weekend. Because there was very little coverage. Just look at the minuscule crowds these nutjobs are trying to pass off as legit! All snark […]

 

Obama Dissembles Again About His ‘Responsibility’ For Healthcare

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In a new 60 Minutes interview, President Obama made a big show about telling correspondent Steve Kroft that he “owns” healthcare if it goes wrong and that because of this he has “every incentive to get this right.” But is this true? Will Obama face any real, personal consequences for any possible failures of Obamacare […]

 

Ahmadinejad To Obama: I Do Have Pre-Conditions, Chump

Posted on by William Teach

Late Friday, the Obama admin quietly announced that they would be meeting with Iran, with no pre-conditions, just as Obama promised during the first part of his never-ending campaign. Unfortunately for Obama, it seems that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad understands how to move from “campaigning” to “governance” much better: Iran snubs Barack Obama’s nuclear talks Less than […]

 

Obama Still Faces Significant Health Reform Opposition, Still Polling Negative

Posted on by William Teach

The Washington Post gives it the old elementary school try at defending Obama’s health care plans – which do not seem to exist, since he outsourced the legislation to Congress – in a new article that would best be placed on the Opinion pages: Reform Opposition Is High But Easing (got that? Easing) President Obama […]

 

The Congressional Apology Line Starts with John Murtha, Not Joe Wilson

Posted on by Duane Lester

Now that all of the problems in the United States have been solved, it’s time for Congress to focus on more minor matters, such as voting to passing a resolution of disapproval against Rep. Joe Wilson for blurting out, “You lie!” when President Barack Obama was lying. Rep. Wilson already apologized to the president for […]

 

9/12: Do The Numbers Matter At This Point?

Posted on by Dan Riehl

Today in the blogosphere: much is being made of anything approaching a precise:  count of the hundreds of thousands of, if not a million Americans who turned up in Washington, DC on Saturday, September 12th to send their government a message. Yet,: it’s clear from the coverage of as notable an event as the inauguration of America’s […]

 

Glenn Beck Leader of Republican Party

Posted on by Alex Nobles

As scary as this may sound… Glenn Beck might actually have more power than anybody else representing the republican party. As the republican party seemingly has no leader in their ranks, at least one that can represent the voice of the people. Even though Glenn Beck is an independent, he represents more republicans than the […]

 

March on Washington 912DC [Pictures]

Posted on by Alex Nobles

As the clouds loomed over the capital hundreds of thousands of people gathered to protest the corruption and greed in Washington D.C. Protesting everything from the health care bills, or lack thereof, taxes, the deficit, the continuation of the Iraq & Afgan wars, the lies, failure to read the bills, failure to listen… Just about […]

 

Not The Party of No, GOP’s Offered Many Healthcare Bills

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston For months the Old Media, President Obama, and the Democrats have been jabbing the GOP for being the “party of no” and for not offering any healthcare ideas of its own. Byron York of the Washington Examiner, however, reveals the facts behind this epithet and finds the attack to be false. […]

 

Obama’s Approval Ratings Continue to Sink in NC

Posted on by Sister Toldjah

For my fellow North Carolinians disgusted with the news last fall that North Carolina went to a Democrat nominee for President for the first time since Jimmy Carter – thus now making this once solidly red state now a “battleground state,” here is a welcome bit of news: The latest survey by Public Policy Polling […]

 

White House Quietly Admits Joe Wilson Was Correct. Wait, What?

Posted on by William Teach

In the wee hours of Friday night, at the end of a long Friday, the rememberence of September 11th, and going into a weekend of protests – from which Obama did his best Holy Grail impersonation – the White House made a very quiet hush hush admission The White House tonight is providing the below […]

 

California’s Mass Job Loss… Except in Government

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston A recent report by the Sacramento based California Budget Project shows that two out of five working-age Californians are out of work. The jobless rate has not been this bad since 1977. California’s unemployment rate is one of the worst in the country at 12 percent. Yet, union membership has grown […]

 

Obama Inspires Me to Put in 120%

Posted on by Morgan Freeberg

The President made a whole lot of comments regarding truth and falsehood in His speech to a joint session of Congress this week. However, after He “corrected” the record and the fact-checkers got done fact-checking His corrections, it seems the “rumors” that He was “correcting” were not regarding anything that exists on this plane of […]

Nine/Twelve Mentality

Posted on by Morgan Freeberg

We know precisely what a nine/ten mentality is. Precisely. Let anyone forget, Senator Kerry in the week just past was kind enough to remind us. As James Taranto observed in his Best of the Web online column, the headline said it all: Kerry Marks Eve of 9/11 Anniversary With Push for Climate Legislation The nine/eleven […]

“The Soup is Terrible and the Portions Are Too Small”

Posted on by Morgan Freeberg

Much of the “governing” that took place in our country throughout the twentieth century, has consisted of a) identifying a problematic social program that had been put in place in some past generation to redistribute money — what in God’s name were we thinking when we put that turkey in?? — and b) putting together […]

Well, yeah, maybe Obama wasn’t lying about illegals under ObamaCare

Posted on by TrogloPundit

President Obama said it: illegal aliens (or immigrants, or “undocumented” immigrants…or workers…pick your euphemism) will not be covered under his health care plan. Actually, they could be, in several different circumstances. But they won’t be. The president said so. They so won’t be covered under ObamaCare, in fact, the U.S. Senate working to take the […]

 

Joe Wilson’s dirty secret…he served in the Army!

Posted on by TrogloPundit

No, really. The South Carolina Republican who yelled “you lie” at President Obama Wednesday night served 31 in the Army and National Guard. Retired as a Colonel. His four sons all serve, too. That hypocritical bastard. Newsweek’s Adam Weinstein writes: Cut the man some slack. He’s passionate! I know this because he told me, in […]
