Year: 2009

Getting hate mail is part of being a blogger and the longer you’ve been around and the more traffic you get, the more hate mail you receive. After a while, it all blends in together. “You (string of random curse words thrown together). I can’t believe you (don’t want to kill babies/don’t like Barack Obama/are […]

Wow, is there nothing that President Obama can’t do? With the move to control terrorist interrogations, President Obama no longer has plausible deniability. From the Washington Post: Obama signed off late last week on the unit, named the High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group, or HIG. Made up of experts from several intelligence and law enforcement agencies, […]

And, guess who is at fault? New research shows oxygen depletion in the atmosphere has been accelerating since 2003, coinciding with the biofuels boom. Yup, Mankind. The Institute of Science in Society (SiS) which published the research says that climate policies that focus exclusively on carbon sequestration could be disastrous for all oxygen-breathing organisms including […]

Not shocking in the least. The hard left progressives have been foaming at the mouth to investigate and prosecute CIA employees, along with Bush and people from his administration, of course. So, what are we now getting from the same Justice Dept. that decided to drop a slam dunk case against members of the New […]

If you loved the best quotations from Ann Coulter’s 2008 columns, you’ll probably also love the next series: The best of Mark Steyn’s quotes from 2008. Enjoy! Killing thousands of people in Manhattan skyscrapers in the name of Islam does, among a certain narrow-minded type of person, give Islam a bad name, and thus could […]

…or maybe he did and just learned the wrong lesson. Lets not throw away our freedoms on Obamaism, shall we?

Supposed conservative talk show host, Michael Smerconish, let President Obama lie repeatedly in last week’s celebrated one-on-one interview. Obama laid his lies right out there and Smerconish didn’t say a word. But the talk radio host isn’t the only one to sit back and let this president get away with it. In fact, not a […]

Senator Edward Kennedy is demonstrating his (seldom doubted) commitment not to end his time on this earth — which has more or less been “dedicated” to “public service” as Senator for Life from the People’s Republic of Massachusetts — without demonstrating, sadly with seem to be literally his last breaths, the full scope of the […]

I have to admit up front that I don’t give a flying fig about what anyone wears as long as it is appropriate to the setting. I mean, wearing flip flops in a visit to the White House is wrong, but wearing them on the beach is fine. Wearing shorts in front of a judge […]

Yeah, it’s a provocative title, but it is certainly a way to interpret what the latest Gallup poll indicates: A new Gallup Poll finds that 68% of Americans believe their federal income taxes will be higher by the time Barack Obama’s first term as president ends. This includes 35% who say their taxes will be […]

Thanks to a tip from Carol of No Sheeples Here, I read this interview with actor and conservative political voice Jon Voight. Voight is concerned that the President and his various left-wing flying monkeys are stirring up a civil war in America. “There’s a real question at stake now. Is President Obama creating a civil […]

How can one call it a budget if you can be off by $2 Trillion?!

Last night, I went with a friend to see Julie & Julia, a movie that abruptly lost me exactly halfway through. Although it’s a movie that has all the trappings of a good chick-flick, with enough beautifully photographed food to appeal to male foodies too, it contains some calculated insults that should drive all conservatives […]

I am sad, today. The Catholic News Service seems to have shown that its reporters don’t know a blamed thing about the Constitution. Unfortunately, this uninformed reporter for CNS is not an isolated case as too many Americans haven’t a clue about what is actually in the Constitution of the United States. For CNS, reporter […]

Racists. Fascists. Nazis. Mobs. Manufactured outrage. Dupes of Big Pharma. Completely fake. Astroturfed. Just a few of the words used against the people who are out there protesting against government run health system overhaul. Yet….. The outcome of the health-care debate weighed partially on Bird’s success (Jeremy Bird is deputy director of OFA), and on […]

It was after Pearl Harbor, after Midway, after many thousands of our American G.I.’s were killed in desperate battles with the Shintoist Japanese when President Franklin D. Roosevelt went on the radio and issued his heartfelt praise for Japan’s Shinto religion. To his American audience, in his celebratory message for Japan’s Shinto religious practices, President […]

Travel writer Arthur Frommer recently said that he will never visit any place in Arizona again. Is it because he was badly served at a Denny’s in Flagstaff? Maybe he didn’t like the turn down service at the Motel Six in Phoenix? Perhaps he was mad because the folks at the McDonald’s in Tucson didn’t […]

Dave Schuler poses an interesting question: As I’ve said before, I don’t believe that there’s a right to healthcare nor have I seen a coherent argument made that it is, merely a claim. However, bear with me. Is is possible to make a coherent argument that government-provided healthcare is a moral obligation but that our […]

After all the fulmination we heard over the last 8 years about Executive overreach and the importance of respecting the Constitution, it seems supremely ironic to see two “Constitutional scholars” blithely preparing to eviscerate the founding document of our Republic with the enthusiastic assistance of public servants elected by the 50 states: President Obama has […]

When I was living in England, all of my friends carried perpetual “overdrafts.” If they wanted more money than their account had, they’d go to the bank and basically arrange an informal, short-term loan by which the bank allowed them to draw on money that wasn’t really (or, as my friends saw it, wasn’t yet) […]

Although I can’t track it down now, I vividly remember reading a New York Times story about Obama in which a colleague said that Obama had the knack, at meetings, of making everyone in the room think that he agreed with them, even if the meeting was divisive. That is, he mouthed banalities with such […]

The mainstream media touted the news that President Barack Obama would be speaking to a “conservative talk radio host” this week to discuss his failing healthcare proposals. I eagerly clicked on the link to this news story, anxious to see which of my favorite hosts had scored this programming coup. The answer was: Michael Smerconish. […]

Sarah Palin is the only politician reflecting, in plain language, the will of the American people. Charles Krauthammer believes she should “leave the room”. He is referring, specifically, to the concept of death panels and then goes into the provision in the House Bill about end of life counseling. He then comes out against, I […]

With this I can rest my case against the obscenity known as homosexual adoption: AdoptionSF.org, a joint project of the City of San Francisco’s Human Services Agency and Family Builders by Adoption is advertising for adoptive parents on the “Mister Marcus” page of San Francisco’s Bay Area Reporter website. The Reporter’s front page motto is […]

Buyer’s remorse is setting in as voters become wise to the monumental scam the liberal media pulled on them by portraying Comrade Obama as a fit candidate for president. According to the latest Zogby poll, Asked whether they approve or disapprove of the president’s job performance, just 45.3 percent of likely voters say they approve. […]

Robert Stacy McCain wrote a slice of genius the other day. He writes of names and relationships and psychology: All Girls Named Tonya, the title of that childhood memoir no publisher will ever pay me to write, derives from a principle of human psychology first postulated by a genuinely evil little bastard who became one […]

Michael Barone recently wrote an article in which he pointed out, “there are more conservatives than Republicans and more Democrats than liberals”. Let that soak in for a minute and then consider today’s Paul Krugman article in which he seems a bit surprised by the Obama administration’s surprise that liberals are furious with him about […]

You can also expect the Democrats to go back to the “right-wing rage” meme as soon as the glow starts to wear off of Obama. After all, he ran as an “everything to everyone” candidate. He portrayed himself as a diehard liberal and a moderate, a hawk and a dove, a tax cutting free marketer […]

When the establishment lines up behind a candidate in a Republican primary, it makes that candidate hard to beat. Look back to Pat Toomey vs. Arlen Specter in 2004 and Lincoln Chafee vs. Steve Laffey in 2006 for two great examples of that. In both cases, the establishment was the decisive factor in beating candidates […]

Just to prove the old saying that Liberals will use any excuse to push their deranged agenda. Aaron Zelinsky manages to link Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi, the only man convicted in the Lockerbie bombing, who was released from jail to return home to Lybia, as he is dying of prostate cancer, to the jihadis in […]
