AGW Today: Inhofe, Alarmist Media, And 40 Members Of Congress

Posted on December 18, 2009December 18, 2009 by William Teach

Things are getting fun in Copenhagen, and I’m not talking about being about to playing in the rare heavy snow that has fallen The leading global warming skeptic in the U.S. Senate shocked reporters in Copenhagen with a dose of American reality with his prediction Thursday morning that the U.S. Senate will not pass a […]

Here is a lecture I gave as part of the Ronald Reagan Political Lecture Series at Oberlin College.

This Week In Quotes: December 11 – December 17

Posted on December 18, 2009 by John Hawkins

People just don’t want this bill. I think the big mistake was skipping the step of winning public support for a particular plan. It wasn’t enough that people believed there was a problem. People needed to believe the solution wasn’t worse than the problem. We were supposed to look away and trust them. The trust […]

What a Beautiful Sight: Nancy Pelosi in Full Campaign Mode

Posted on December 17, 2009 by Betsy Newmark

After having spent a year forcing her members to take tough vote after tough vote on unpopular measures, Nancy Pelosi is promising not to do that any more. Or at least until the 2010 election is over. She repeated several times to reporters what her approach to being Speaker next year was all about. Hours […]

Your Facebook Friends And Twitter Followers Aren’t Your Real Friends

Posted on December 17, 2009December 17, 2009 by John Hawkins

Maybe it’s because this latest generation has grown up on the internet, but I’ve noticed lately that a lot of people do not seem to have an appropriate sense of what should be private and public information on the internet. People whose relationship status on Facebook goes from “In a relationship” to “It’s complicated” to […]

Vlog: Senate Health Care Update

Govt Healthcare Will Give us ALL Pay Cuts

Posted on December 17, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

Big Labor has, for the most part, fallen all over itself to help its patron President get his Obamacare policies passed in Congress spending millions to do so. If Obamacare should pass many millions will lose their healthcare and will be forced into government healthcare. According to the CBO at least 10 million will lose […]

Feckless Ill. GOP Questions Use of Party Funds

Posted on December 17, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

For those wondering why the Illinois Republican Party can’t seem to bet Democrats, even criminal Democrats, here is one reason… I meant to mention this story yesterday and didn’t get to it. I guess the reason why I wasn’t so all fired up to highlight it is that it all seemed as no surprise, it […]

Death Panels. Yeah, I Said It…..

Posted on December 17, 2009December 17, 2009 by Kathleen McKinley

Republican Sen. Tom Coburn recently suggested that seniors will die sooner if Congress passes the medicare cuts in the health care bill. He has gotten all kinds of grief about that from the left, but I think they may have forgotten that Coburn was a practicing physician for 25 years. I think he knows how […]

Obama Appoints Cuban Spy Ambassador to El Salvador

Posted on December 17, 2009 by Dave Blount

The potential damage to our security interests at home and abroad of putting left-wing extremists in charge of the country could hardly be overstated. Our Community Activist in Chief has actually appointed a known communist spy as Ambassador to El Salvador. On Dec. 9, Obama nominated Mari Del Carmen Aponte to be ambassador to El […]

Passing Obamacare Will Hurt Democrats, Not Passing Obamacare Will Hurt Democrats–UPDATED

Posted on December 17, 2009December 17, 2009 by Melissa Clouthier

The Democrats did it to themselves. Not unlike President Bush’s insistence on pushing Amnesty to the fore, the Democrats have self-immolated on the pyre of health care. It didn’t have to be this way. The Dems could have gone for bipartisan reform….and they still could, but they are damaged, no matter. They wanted to push […]

Obama Threatens to Close Key Air Force Base to Coerce Healthcare Vote

Posted on December 17, 2009 by Dave Blount

Chicago politics now guides our national security. From The Weekly Standard’s blog: Twenty Republican senators have requested that the Senate Armed Services Committee launch an investigation into reports that the Obama White House threatened to close Nebraska’s Offutt Air Force base unless Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson fell into line on health care. Those reports first […]

Michael Steele: Stop throwing a hissy fit, tea partiers.

Posted on December 17, 2009 by Tabitha Hale

So at first, when I heard what Steele said this week I just rolled my eyes and moved on. It didn’t bother me. But I thought about it yesterday. And then I went to the RNC and heard him speak at their “tea party” yesterday and blame everything on the Democrats over and over. And […]

Why Is The Governator In Copenhagen When His State’s Economy Is In The Crapper? And, “Saracuda Tougher Than Schwarzenegger”

Posted on December 17, 2009 by Melissa Clouthier

Politics Daily’s Matt Lewis baits the lefties at MSNBC: Should President Obama be over in Copenhagen? If his goal is an empty, symbolic gesture, yes. If he cares about America, no. It doesn’t serve America’s interests to negotiate with 3rd world thugs and pretend that giving these regimes money will make the climate better. The […]

Russians Say CRU Manipulated Data

Posted on December 17, 2009December 17, 2009 by William Teach

Now why would the CRU do that? Certainly, it couldn’t have anything to do with money, power, and prestige, right?ClimateGate just got worse for the alarmists, no matter how much they want to ignore the issue or throw things like the 4 year olds liberals tend to emulate, via The Telegraph Climategate just got much, […]

China Buys Energy in Our Backyard

Posted on December 17, 2009December 17, 2009 by Lee Doren

It is always comforting to hear that our legislators prevent us from developing our own natural resources to protect the environment. Yet, they don’t realize that China doesn’t have to follow the same rules that our government sets for American citizens. Consequently, China is developing oil where Americans can’t. Wonderful! Here is a great post […]

Climategate: So The Raw Data WAS Manipulated

Posted on December 17, 2009 by Melissa Clouthier

Latest charge: The CRU cooked data from Russia, specifically and especially Siberia.Absolutely shocking: They specifically state that lack of measurement is not the cause. If they claim the full set of Russian data does NOT support global warming, imagine how different the bright red dot over Russia would look. Again the accusation is completely believable, […]

Fumbling Gitmo

Posted on December 17, 2009December 17, 2009 by McQ

I think perhaps the promise to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba – a supposed symbol of American shame – and the subsequent inability to do so is symbolic of how inept, to this point, this administration has been. President Obama, while a candidate, had a guaranteed applause line each time he promised to […]

Obama DOJ Tells Lawyers In New Black Panther Case To Not Cooperate

Posted on December 17, 2009 by William Teach

Hmmmm, just imagine George Bush was still president. How would this kind of news be received? Would it be splashed all over the leading U.S. papers, rather than pretty much in a sole outlet, the Washington Times? In fact, it seems that the Washington Times is the only one that is even following the story, […]

The Obamacare War: The Left Continues To Turn On The Bill

Posted on December 17, 2009 by John Hawkins

The honest truth is that Obamacare, at its heart, is not really about healthcare. To the contrary, it’s about giving more power to the government and by extension, the Left. If this health care bill breaks the budget, leads to millions of Americans dying prematurely because of rationing, and drives costs up, liberals are fine […]

The Top 40 Conservative Blogs For 2009 (Version 4.0)

Posted on December 17, 2009 by John Hawkins

It’s time for me to rank my favorite blogs for the 4th quarter of 2009. Do keep in mind that as the quarter has progressed, some blogs have, of course, moved up and others have dropped, based on how often I visit them, how much I like what I see when I get there, how […]

Tiger and Obama

Posted on December 16, 2009December 16, 2009 by Kathleen McKinley

Well, you knew the comparison was bound to happen. Tiger and Pres. Obama. But who would have guessed it would come from a liberal at the Huffington Post titled “Two Black Role Models Done In By Hubris“? In the past few weeks, the two most famous and arguably most successful black men in America have […]

Tiger Woods Comes Down To Earth

Posted on December 16, 2009 by Melissa Clouthier

Salacious. The topic has produced obscene interest. Different theories are put forth: Yes, Americans like to see achievers fail. Yes, people are petty, small and voyeuristic. Yes, it’s a relief for some people to focus on the travails of others rather than their own miserable existence. I think Tiger counted on Americans being just this […]

President Barack Obama Is In Charge

Posted on December 16, 2009 by Melissa Clouthier

The downside of being large and in charge is the in charge part. Well, the downside of being large and in charge when things go ill, is the in charge part. Otherwise, being in charge is totally fun. When it comes to health care, things bode ill. It’s getting less fun to be in charge. […]

Rep. Brian Billbray: Rep. Gutierrez is Creating the Next Wave of Illegal Immigration

Posted on December 16, 2009December 16, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

Representative Luis Gutierrez (D, IL) will introduce another stab at “comprehensive immigration reform” this month and it’s been given another one of those Orwellian names that you know means the opposite of what it says in the title. Gutierrez is calling this mess the Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America’s Security and Prosperity Act of 2009, […]

Cops Insist on Getting Paid for Dressing Themselves

Posted on December 16, 2009December 16, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

Here is another reason why unions need to be destroyed… Do you think your boss should pay you for getting dressed in the morning or for taking off your day’s clothes to climb into your snuggly Pjs each night? No reasonable, sane person would. But unions are neither reasonable, sane, nor apparently interested in what’s […]

Midwife Describes Chaos of Britain’s Socialized Medicine

Posted on December 16, 2009 by Dave Blount

Britain’s socialized medical system once again demonstrates what we will find when we go over Chairman Zero’s “precipice” into government-run healthcare. Verena Burns, a midwife who recently escaped from the National Health Service into private practice, tells tales of horror: Welcome to the modern NHS maternity ward. A world of shoddy practice, poor hygiene standards […]

Yet Another Untruth From Al Gore: Increased Tree Mortality

Posted on December 16, 2009December 16, 2009 by Dave Blount

The international liberal elite had better figure out a way to shut up Al Gore if they are going to use the global warming hoax to impose worldwide socialism. The Goracle does rally the left’s brain-dead base, but the rest of us are well aware that nothing this figure of fun bellows is true. Among […]
