Year: 2009

So some SEIU members beat up a protester in St. Louis last week, and the internet – at least, parts of it – noticed. But all the blogs and columns and coverage and punditizing seem to be missing one important word. Again. As in: SEIU members got violent at a protest…again. Remember this, from last […]

Since this wasn’t about issues. I added timers so we could see who talked the longest.

Rush Limbaugh just can’t win. For years, almost every liberal critique of Limbaugh has included the word “fat.” (The word even made it into the title of one of Al Franken’s books.) So – presumably after his weight was widely remarked upon following his televised address to CPAC – Rush Limbaugh went on a diet. […]

Irony, as we’ve all learned, is not something with which the left is well attuned. For instance, until the Obama administration unleashed the unions, the townhall meetings were a little raucous, but not violent. But now that the White House has all but explicitly condoned the demonization and thus the marginalization of those who disagree […]

The St. Louis Tea Party movement is incensed that thugs from the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) beat up an African-American conservative that had come out to a recent anti-Obamacare protest. The attack sent the man to a local hospital. In response to this unprovoked attack, the St. Louis Tea Party folks are going to […]

Question: “Name 10 books every young man should read before his 18th birthday.” — President_Friedman Answer: Great question, but tougher than you’d think to answer. Still, let me give it a shot — although I am only giving out 8 books. (My right hand girl, Melissa Clouthier, already did a list, but since we only […]

Question: Name 10 books every young man should read before his 18th birthday. Posted by President_Friedman Here’s the deal. There are so many books that could be read. I decided to include children’s books and kinda “grow up” through them. The Bible should be read to a child, there are great childrens’ versions, from the […]

Question: “The utter humiliation of the Secretary of State (NK made fun of Hillary when she asked for their release) and inflating Kim Jong Il’s ego by sending an ex-President to chat with him is a *good* thing? It is good for Clinton’s legacy and reputation as Worldwide Pimp Daddy and smoothtalker (and the hostages […]

Question: “President Bush, while lacking conservative credentials in many areas of his presidency, was a good man who was disparaged and drug through the muck by a bunch of people with no integrity. Conservatives, due to their moral values, take the high road. I see many conservatives starting to resort to name calling and blatant […]

Question: “Do you think running up trillion dollar deficits within months of taking office is a deliberate attempt on Obama’s part to destroy the United States as a superpower? Liberals have always hated American power.” — CoolCzech Answer: There are definitely some liberals who would like to see America laid low, but most of them […]

The Left, exasperated by being thwarted both without and within, have taken to distortion, demonizing, and violence. Discussion not allowed. This is expected. Conservatives and small government types, have had it. The press has been in the business of painting those on the Right as psychotic, baby-killing, meanies. If you doubt the bias, tell me […]

Revelations just keep coming regarding Comrade Obama’s Science Czar John Holdren. First we learned that he’s an ecofascist opposed to free markets; then that he wanted to put sterilants in our drinking water; next that he doesn’t regard babies as human until after they’ve been socialized. Now we discover that his role model is eugenicist […]

My boss, AFP President Tim Phillips, did a great job staying above the fray in the face of ad hominem attacks from MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow last night and pointing out that the left’s obsession with such personal attacks is only encouraging the public to turn against their radical plans for a Washington takeover of health […]

Great news — if you’re a terrorist: the War on Terror is officially over. I wish I could say the same for terror’s war on us. It’s official. The U.S. is no longer engaged in a “war on terrorism.” Neither is it fighting “jihadists” or in a “global war.” President Obama’s top homeland security and […]

No, we’re not having a snitch website.

OK, a little over the top, but, you know that is the thought going through the vacuous heads of liberals everywhere Employers throttled back on layoffs in July, cutting just 247,000 jobs, the fewest in a year, and the unemployment rate dipped to 9.4 percent, its first decline in 15 months. It was a better-than-expected […]

If you guessed “the cost of universal government run health care,” the tequila is on me France Fights Universal Care’s High Cost France claims it long ago achieved much of what today’s U.S. health-care overhaul is seeking: It covers everyone, and provides what supporters say is high-quality care. But soaring costs are pushing the system […]

“Democrats are in denial. Instead of acknowledging the widespread anger millions of Americans are feeling this summer toward Democrat-controlled Washington, Washington Democrats are trying to dismiss it as a fabrication. That isn’t likely to sit well with Americans outside of Washington who are struggling and wondering when their elected leaders are going to wake up […]

The LATimes is once again trying to sell another Obama healthcare fairy tale to an unsuspecting public. This time, ABC is reporting that Obama has “given a seat at the table” of the healthcare debate to former Louisiana congressman Billy Tauzin who now represents some powerful drug companies. The Times is reporting this as if […]

As vicious as Bush (and then Palin) Derangement Syndrome is, there is a new target of the left that makes the former disorders seems mundane. Democrats and liberals have always been contemptuous of the average person, but their treatment of those citizens who disagree with the Obama administration’s policies is unprecedented. Peaceful protesters are likened […]

The most recent Quinnipiac poll isn’t at all kind to “health care reform”. And, it should tell politicians all they need to know about what the priority of the American people is: American voters, by a 55 – 35 percent margin, are more worried that Congress will spend too much money and add to the […]

Byron York has an excellent piece up at The Examiner about the Flag.gov deal. Here’s the program: On Monday, White House director of new media Macon Phillips posted a note on the White House web site complaining of “disinformation about health insurance reform.” “These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or […]

I do believe in foreign aid, free trade, and helping out other nations when it’s in America’s best interest. However, at a time when our country is running nearly a 2 trillion dollar deficit, I think we need to be asking some very hard questions about why we’re borrowing tens of billions of dollars only […]

Tomorrow will be Q&A Friday #102 at RWN. So, if there’s a subject you’ve been wanting me to tackle or an issue you want to hear my opinion on, just ask your question in the comments section. Your question can be on just about anything: politics, ideology, history, blogging, RWN, movies, music, literature, or TV. […]

Here’s a gift idea for the moonbat who has everything except a way to measure his neurotic guilt — the Wearable Carbon Credit Meter. From TreeHugger: [T]he carbon meter would fit on your hand and glows a particular color – green, yellow, orange or red – depending on how well you’re using your public transportation […]

Obamunists have a penchant for brainwashing children, so here’s an idea that might appeal to them: Why not promote the new Healthcare Snitch Line to kids, by offering a special reward if they report their parents for questioning ObamaCare? Our rulers could inspire the pint-sized progressives by granting them a Pavlik Morozov award: Pavlik Morozov, […]

The Democrats’ entire political strategy is centered around the politics of personal destruction. They make wild accusations, attack people’s families, file frivolous lawsuits, and do everything they can to personally destroy their political enemies. Then, they’re happy to have a nice long debate over whether you’re really a racist or extremist, while they advocate radical […]

Now, probably every single person attending the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws conference in San Francisco voted for President Obama and really, the President, himself probably wink-winks at pot use. (Kinda like he’s actually pro gay marriage, for a single payer health care system, and wants to tax all people, not just […]

Where has Al Gore been? Like a bad penny he turned up on the news yesterday. So, the topic of the show covered environmentalist wackos, demands for Henry Waxman’s birth certificate, getting into the spirit of reporting your neighbor, or even better, your elderly mother, and the tactics the Palins will take against their enemies […]

Congress is borrowing billions of dollars from the Chinese to use as an incentive to convince people to DESTROY their WORKING American cars so they can buy brand new foreign cars. Ostensibly, the reasoning behind the program is to help the car industry and improve the mileage of cars on the road. However, there aren’t […]
