Year: 2009

America needs to come together in this time of mean-spirited, backroom organizing. Yes, in this age of never before seen racism, in this age of the Nazi-like machinations of the un-American protester, we need to come together in a spirit of healthy debate where only the good is heard. Our national ruler, The One, Barack […]

If you’re like me, you haven’t paid much attention to Meghan McCain – not during and not post-election, outside of knowing that since the election she seems to have deemed herself as the “unofficial spokeswoman” for the GOP. And why shouldn’t she feel that way? The mainstream media, always on the hunt for self-loathing Republicans, […]

I have to say, I am getting really, truly, sick and tired of the health care debate. All we tend to hear are the same talking points repeated again and again and again from President Obama and the Democrats, along with their supporters. Most of which are lies and/or covers for slowly implementing single payer. […]

I’ve noticed there seems to be some confusion in the MSM and elsewhere about the meaning of the word “AstroTurf” when used to describe the town hall meeting protests we’ve been seeing the past couple weeks. I’ve seen the word used to describe everything from bussed-in ACORN members to ad-hoc gathering organized by ordinary folks […]

USA Today is attempting to pass off an effort to push a higher minimum wage law as an effort by “churches” when in reality it is a left wing effort sponsored by ACORN, unions and the extremist group American Progress headed by former Clinton front man, John Podesta. With a misleading headline and an artfully […]

Sickeningly, an effluvium of nostalgia over the debacle concert near the town of Woodstock, New York in August of 1969 is everywhere. It’s the big 4-0. We should take this anniversary to remember that the catch phrase of the Woodstock generation eventually became “don’t trust anyone over 30.” In the case of the white wash […]

To leftists, there’s never a bad time to call somebody or something “racist.” But if a conservative uses the word “racist,” he must be destroyed! As you may or may not recall, Glenn Beck said Obama had a “deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture" on FOX & Friends back on July 28. […]

I come from a strange, faraway planet…the third one from its sun, a place known as “Earth” popuulated by humanoid people who have red blood in their veins. Perhaps because of my strange otherwordly origins I have some strange thoughts in my head, like these… I know certain things because a whole lot of people […]

Remember the hope-n-change we were gonna get if The One were to take the White House? ‘Member how it was going to be a new era in ethics, and all? Do ya remember all the wonderfulness of no lobbyists and a new day dawning? Are ya feeling a bit let down on the hopie-changie stuff, […]

Sounds almost ordinary enough at first — this tweet from @EFF (the Electronic Reefer Freedom Foundation): Another Obama image fair use controversy: http://bit.ly/vhWCk Oh, sure. Another vhWCk?! What are you, stoned? Whoah, no. Much better! No, no, no. Oh, ma-a-a-a-a-a-a-n!: It was only a matter of time before someone combined a certain memorable image of […]

I’d never have remembered this, except my buddy Mike H reminded me: today is V-J Day. At 6:10 p.m. EDT on August 14, 1945, The United States received word of Emperor Hirohito’s surrender and declared Victory in Japan or V-J Day. As the news spread, celebrations began throughout the world. Mike links to a story […]

You know I’ve watched the Southern Poverty Law Center’s rise over the years as the self-proclaimed expert on “extremist hate groups”. But what I’ve also deduced over those years, mostly by observing when and what we hear from them, is it is primarily an organization that sees the “right-wing” as the primary threat to America. […]

CNN finds a paradox: Spend a day in this tiny town about 23 miles or so from where President Obama will be holding a town hall meeting on Friday, and it’s easy to see why his health-care push is facing big problems in Big Sky country — even from the people he’s trying to help. […]

On Huffington Post, Lincoln Mitchell bills himself as the “Assistant Professor in the Practice of International Politics” at Columbia University but I think he’s better suited to a job as a minion in a ministry of truth in some Orwellian dystopian fantasy novel. In any case, his latest screed on the evilness of evil Republicans […]

People blamed 9/11 on an intelligence failure. But with Crappy Nappy Napolitano (aka Uncle Mort) running the Department of Homeland Security, the problem has been resolved. For example, in compiling her report on the security menace posed by those who don’t share her left-wing politics, she demonstrated great creativity in exploiting new sources of information: […]

Bad as things are getting under Hope & Change, it’s still not too late for some heroism: A 72-year-old Irvington [New York] man turned a 12-gauge shotgun on four armed bandits who tried to hold up his restaurant supply store in Harlem Thursday, killing two and wounding the others, police said. Charles Augusto Jr. later […]

To show how obsessed the Old Media is over Governor Palin, now CNN has a story on its website ruminating over what Sarah isn’t doing. It seems that she can’t get away from the Old Media even by doing nothing. First they lose their minds over what she is doing, and then when she stops […]

Nothing like a little bribe to create more little Obama zombies, eh? A $200 back-to-school giveaway for needy kids sparked a mad rush for money on the streets of New York on Tuesday. “It’s free money!” said Alecia Rumph, 26, who waited in a Morris Park, Bronx, line 300 people deep for the cash to […]

Is this what Obama meant by “post-partisan,” healing the divide, doing things differently in Washington, hopenchange? A racially charged activist group called “Color of Change” founded by Van Jones, a special advisor to the Obama Administration, is trying to silence popular radio and Fox News personality Glenn Beck by calling for a boycott of Beck’s […]

It isn’t just out of the goodness of their hearts that Big Labor is gearing up to spend millions to help President Obama to jam Obamacare down the throats of the American people. The unions stand to get a big payoff of $10 billion to supplement their failing pension plans. The President of the AFL-CIO […]

The Airplane movies would be proud of this one. It’s wrong to find out why an “ordinary American” who has never been within five thousand miles of America in his entire life, wants to call Osama bin Laden on his satellite phone from Amman or Damascus. But the feds are going to put cookies on […]

Neo-Neocon aptly dissects Camille Paglia, who in turn represents many Obama supporters that are beginning to wake up to the fact that He is slightly different from what He was pretending to be…but still want to cling to some part of last year’s dream, and therefore remain partially clueless. Obama is a savior for the […]

Thing I Know #94. There are a lot of people walking around who put lots of energy into telling others that something can’t be done. Gregory Clark, a perfesser of Economics at UCal/Davis, seems to think success is something our modern society cannot afford: With the march of technology, the size of a future American […]

I had this horrible nightmare in which I was becoming a good friend of mine, an older gentleman who drank himself to death. It got me to thinking some more about Meghan McCain’s idiotic comments, and how they connect together with what I had to say in response to one of Mahatma Ghandi’s most famous […]

Want to see how far our political system has fallen since the bight days of promise in 1776? Check out this quote from Federalist No. 57, published on February 19, 1788, penned by James Madison: “The House of Representatives … can make no law which will not have its full operation on themselves and their […]

I’m in this video. Enjoy!

So, what do you do if you are the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and you are accused of violating state election laws? What else but hire the ACLU to try and get those laws thrown out as unconstitutional? In Pennsylvania, six members of ACORN have been indicted for violating a state […]

I’m at the Right Online Conference in Pittsburgh today and tomorrow — so’s Melissa Clouthier. I meant to post about this last night before I left, but I got behind schedule and wanted to make sure that I got at least 7 hours sleep before I drove. That’s right; I drove from the Carolina coast […]

From the “when you’re on a roll, keep rolling” files, this is the second time this week I’m taking after David Frum for saying something…well, stupid. Writing in The Week, Frum tells us that conservatives are inciting violence at health care town hall meetings: A man bearing a sidearm appears outside President Obama’s Aug. 11 […]

The Hill Is reporting The Senate Finance Committee will drop a controversial provision on consultations for end-of-life care from its proposed healthcare bill, its top Republican member said Thursday. The committee, which has worked on putting together a bipartisan healthcare reform bill, will drop the controversial provision after it was derided by conservatives as “death […]
