Year: 2009

At what point does Obama Man Up and be Thee President? I can’t remember Bush blaming Clinton for not taking out Osama 3 times, for the Wall between law enforcement and intelligence, etc and so on. Clinton wasn’t out there blaming Bush 41. Reagan wasn’t blaming Carter for the recession he inherited and the Iran […]

Homeschooling is a growing trend in the United States today. Many thousands of parents wary of government indoctrination of their children, not to mention tired of the plummeting level of actual education threatening our kid’s futures, are taking their children’s education into their own hands and setting up homeschools. The trend is also starting to […]

If this NPR poll has any validity, it removes, once and for all, the “I inherited this mess” meme from Obama’s rhetorical quiver. Americans see this as his mess now and they’re not particularly happy with how he’s handling it: In another part of the poll, respondents were asked which of two statements on the […]

They keep giving me plenty of material to use. Someone needs to say it.

Here is part 3 in the series. Enjoy!

On my radio show tonight, on RFC [10EST, 9 CST], I talk about exactly what Megan McCardle says here: These aren’t just a way to save on health care; they’re a way to extend and expand the cultural hegemony of wealthy white elites. No, seriously. Living a fit, active life is correlated with being healthier. […]

A large part of the horror of abortion lies in the monstrous presumption of liberals declaring that human life begins not at conception, but whenever they say it does. Maybe that’s six weeks, maybe six months. Maybe it’s years. Obama’s Science Czar John Holdren (the guy who wanted to put a sterilizing agent in our […]

Everyone is trying to help the ailing Health Care legislation and therefore help President Obama. The question is: Does a bad economy help or hurt Obama? On the one hand, a bad, getting worse economy frightens people who might be out of work and might run out of benefits. On the other hand, a good […]

It would be tempting to mock the libs who run everything in New York for trying to pawn the homeless off on other people, but reluctantly, I have to admit that I think they’ve come up with an excellent program to help the homeless, New York has found a novel, if expensive, way of dealing […]

The drones who choose to believe in the global warming farce take the short view. But not geology professor Ian Plimer of Adelaide University in his book Earth — Global Warming: The Missing Science. Plimer presents the proposition that anthropogenic global warming is little more than a con trick on the public perpetrated by fundamentalist […]

Over the past week or so, I’ve noticed several liberal blogs trying to insinuate that it’s some crazy conspiracy or myth that old people will be allowed to die to save money under the health care plan being considered in Congress. Just to be clear, that is EXACTLY what will happen — and it’s what […]

Your avatar on Twitter and your picture on Facebook matter. People make judgments based on the image they see. Here are some common weird things people do: 1. You & a buddy: I have a new friend on Twitter. In his tiny avatar picture, he’s leaning against another guy. Finally, I asked him if the […]

Hawkins 1st rule of technology: For new technology to be worthwhile, it should be able to handle all the important features of the technology it’s replacing and then some. If you want to know why electric cars aren’t catching on in America, just take a look at this article from the Wall Street Journal. It’s […]

Remember when Obama stated that he wanted science to be based on facts, not ideology? Of course, he was discussing the use of federal money for embryonic stem cell research, so, was a silly statement to start with. And, how about Obama also signed a memorandum that directs the White House Office of Science and […]

Here we have the Credentialed Media digging for their OMG, we’re all one world! story Henry Louis Gates Jr., the black professor at the center of the racial story involving his arrest outside his Harvard University-owned house, has spoken proudly of his Irish roots. Strangely enough, he and the Cambridge, Mass., police officer who arrested […]

When your political opposition is self-destructing (even while in the majority and in control of the legislative and executive branches), most political observers would advise stepping back and allowing them to do so. But not the Republicans. They’re going to be the “significant other” that gives this president a win on his signature issue and […]

Yeah, I’m sure you assume the title of this post is hyperbolic. But before you jump to conclusions, read this article from the latest issue of Time: “Summer School: What? No More Vacations?” If Obama’s new Education Secretary has his way, your kids will be in government schools eight hours a day, twelve months a […]

Most people dramatically underestimate the threat of rogue regimes with nuclear weapons. Imagine a world where Iran gets nukes. Well, the first thing that will happen is that Egypt, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia — among many others — would buy, borrow, or steal nuclear weapons to keep Iran from using nuclear blackmail to dominate the […]

The defeat of Nazi Germany was a big setback for the progressive cause, but under Chairman Zero, it’s making up ground fast. A key player in his bid to seize control of the healthcare industry is Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of top teleprompter programmer Rahm “Dead Fish” Emanuel. Ezekiel wants doctors to look beyond the needs […]

There’s more to ObamaCare than skyrocketing taxes, waiting lists, rationing, and substandard care. A takeover of the healthcare system by left-wing bureaucrats will also mean more of this: A New York nurse claims she was forced to choose between her religious convictions and her job when Mount Sinai Hospital ordered her to assist in a […]

I’m so tired of everyone saying Canadian Healthcare is great. Here is an email I received from a friend who wanted to find a family doctor for his girlfriend. “Anyhow my girlfriend has been looking for a doctor for a few months now..You go to a clinic or a hospital and you ask for a […]

I understand that as a politician, you don’t want to offend anyone if you can help it — especially people who may conceivably be voting for you. Yet and still, sometimes you have to take a stand and when you do, some people are going to be upset by it. That brings us to the […]

David Brooks isn’t really worth the time it takes to denounce him, so please excuse the redundancy: In an era when the newspaper industry is laying off newsroom personnel to the tune of a thousand people a month, David Brooks is paid a full-time salary by Sulzberger. In return for this salary — his compensation […]

Bush Derangement Syndrome seems like a head cold compared to the Palin Hatred. Palin Hatred is like a full-blown mental swine flu. I fear it may be a slate clearer for the Democratic Party. Perhaps the Left could take this Sarah-free moment and consider the power their loathing, and the underlying fear, gives Sarah Palin. […]

Only question: Do Americans want America remade? In this weeks American Issues Project column I talk about the choice before America: While this is very much about Barack Obama personally–his whole life was made for this moment when he would be in the position where he could “remake America”–it’s even more about the American people. […]

This episode I talk about the Gates Affair, the Democrats and health care, Sarah Palin and Steve Schippert joins me to discuss what’s really happening in Iran. Should Israel bomb Iran and what would be the consequences? We also talk about what we teach our young people about rising out of poverty and overcoming difficulty. […]

Back in 2008 conservatives were in a tough spot: we had a candidate that many of us believe is representative of much of what is wrong with the Republican Party — running against an ultra-left-winger who told America we could trust him, in part, because Joe @$&*^%$ Biden was going to be around to be […]

He will if some of his fans get their way. My one and only Michael Jackson post Michael Jackson fans have launched a campaign calling for the superstar to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The late star’s fans have flocked to sign online petitions supporting the move. They say he should be honoured […]

Alright, not everyone buys a smart car because they are one of the .5% of AGW believers who are actually walking the talk, rather than just yammering on about concensus and awareness. They might make sense for someone who pretty much just lives and drives with a confined city, someplace like New York City or […]

I cannot take these fools anymore.
