Year: 2009

From my latest report for The American Spectator: “We’re not there yet,” one Democratic source on Capitol Hill said last week, when asked about the prospect for hearings on the Obama administration’s firing of AmeriCorps inspector general Gerald Walpin. Congressional investigators are still conducting interviews in the case, so the question of whether to “pull […]

Most liberals in this country are intellectually dishonest which is why they don’t have the slightest qualms about grotesque double standards. That’s why Al Gore can live in a mansion that consumes energy like a football stadium while he tells you to cut back. It’s why Sarah Palin can be sliced apart for things said […]

Is it any wonder that VP Dick Cheney would order the CIA – if that is what truly happened – to keep quiet and not tell Congress about this program, at least until it was operational? Since 2001, the Central Intelligence Agency has developed plans to dispatch small teams overseas to kill senior Qaeda terrorists, […]

On July 8, 2009, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that pharmacists are required, regardless of their moral opposition, to provide Plan B, commonly known as the “morning-after pill.” The court’s decision took immediate effect in all western states, although this ruling will inevitably encourage abortion rights activists throughout America to use the court […]

Watch this dance scene from Another Cinderella Story starring Disney teen sensation Selena Gomez: Granted, there’s probably more provocative dancing than that at the typical high-school prom nowadays, but is this sexy tango really appropriate for Disney TV? The latest young starlet to roll off the Disney assembly line is 16-year-old Selena Gomez. . . […]

Keith Hennesey does a fair job of fisking President Obama’s Washington Post editorial in which Obama tries to put a happy face on what his administration has done thus far to combat the recession. Hennesy included a chart by Don Marron that graphically takes Obama to task on one of his favorite claims, namely: Nearly […]

In case you’re not overloaded with reasons to oppose socialized medicine, here’s one more: When government controls healthcare, you could be branded as a “racist” for wanting a doctor who speaks the native language. From progressive Sweden: A woman has reported a hospital in western Sweden to national authorities after discovering she and her husband […]

Prince Chucklehead has again demonstrated the link between inbreeding and mental retardation by proclaiming that we have only 96 months to save the world by plunging the West into economic ruin in the name of the polar bears. Capitalism and consumerism have brought the world to the brink of economic and environmental collapse, the Prince […]

Good grief! President Barack Obama takes the mantel of the American presidency and suddenly it dawns on him and the press that it’s a “grueling” job and grueling for the staff, too? Where’s my violin when I need it? What a bunch of pansy asses. Of course the job is tough. There are like, you […]

What does an entire generation that has never faced evil do to justify its own existence? It simply invents an evil and devotes its energy forcing everyone else to fight it. Of course, I’m talking about radical environmentalism. Previous generations had clear struggles to overcome. The greatest generation overcame Nazism and Fascism. The civil rights […]

Might as well relax and take it people, the confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor is as good as done in the same way everyone knew that Franken would win the Minnesota Senate race even 600 votes behind. Like gravity and other forces of nature, Democrats march on ideologically while Republicans weakly offer limper versions of the […]

Were this story to come out between 1/20/01 – 1/19/2009, might the headline not read “Bush’s Economic Policies Discriminate Against Blacks? Unemployment among blacks in New York City has increased much faster than for whites, and the gap appears to be widening at an accelerating pace, new studies of jobless data have found. While unemployment […]

Of course, don’t take it as a promise House Speaker Nancy Pelosi(D-Calif.) will read the entirety of the final text of the health care reform bill before the House votes on it and will provide the public “ample time” to review the legislation, says Pelosi’s spokesman. However, the speaker’s office declined to specify what is […]

This week-end, Myrtle Beach had its second Tea Party. Although I’m certainly not an expert on estimating crowd size, this one did seem to draw a larger crowd than the last one. I’m going to say this one had around 400-500 people attending. That’s not bad for an area that only has roughly 30,000 residents. […]

Here’s my speech from the Myrtle Beach Tea Party on July 11th. Unfortunately, the person doing the video taping was a little new to the whole process and the video, along with the audio, has a few glitches because of that. Still, you can watch the speech here: If you don’t want to watch the […]

As all regular readers of Right Wing News are aware, I’ve saved 4 formerly feral kittens that once lived under my house and am now trying to find them homes. That has turned out to be considerably more difficult than I anticipated. I have had some interest across country, but shipping cats cross country is […]

* Americans have been stupefied by Bridges to Nowhere and John and Kate + 8. At least the Roman mob got bread and circuses. * Have you noticed the foreign leaders who kiss Obama’s behind, he treats like crap. Those who crap on him, he kisses their behinds. * Anyone who thinks Sarah Palin is […]

CHURCHVILLE, VA–Just as congress is set to tax fossil fuels out of the U.S. economy, the New York Times has reasserted its utterly foolish demand that we tear out existing hydroelectric dams–the dams that provide most of our renewable energy in the form of water-generated electricity.. Hydroelectric dams produce 8.5 percent of our power, and […]

Nothing is more predictable than that Republican defeat will lead to an insistent search for conservative “new ideas,” even though American conservatism is explicitly devoted to very old ideas — limited government, economic liberty, cultural traditionalism, and so forth. I’m old enough to remember the frantic hunt for “new ideas” that followed the 1996 defeat […]

Why don’t they just shut up! The science is settled! We have consensus. Well, except for those 32,000 American scientists who have signed a petition saying they don’t agree that anthropogenic, or man-made, global warming is threatening society as we know it. And now we have another one – another skeptical scientist who attempts to […]

Via Hugh S. at Wizbang: Let’s assume just for fun that AG Holder actually is operating independently. Who will be the actual targets of this investigation? George Bush? Not likely given the protections of executive priveledge. Dick Cheney? Not likely for the same reasons. President Bush’s advisors? Not likely either, for reasons that are protected […]

Why is this man praised by the media?

I remember going in to NYC one weekend with a bunch of friends, back when I was a senior in high school (yes, that was a while ago. Ha ha. Thanks). We were at a spot getting a bite to eat, while watching this guy walk all the way around building while keeping both hands […]

Looks like my thoughts about liberals wanting to debate politics, and then once cornered turning on-a-dime and announcing to all within earshot that they’re being hussled, hassled, brow-beaten, fed up, saturated, being held as a captive audience, victimized, et cetera, has struck a nerve with some others who’ve gone through similar experiences. This makes me […]

As reported here earlier this week (audio included), pundits like Rush, Ann Coulter and Mark Levin were the among the first to comment on Sarah Palin’s suprise resignation as governor of Alaska. The subject took up less time on talk radio than I figured it would for the rest of the week. In a nod […]

If you read Michelle Malkin, you already know about Zombie’s post exposing the unrepentant eugenicist past of John Holdren, Obama’s science czar. Writing in the early 1970s, when the trendy concern was the population explosion (promising every a brutish Malthusian future), Holdren eagerly espoused a world order with forced abortions; mandatory sterliziation of those deemed […]

The year? 1972. The problem? Global cooling: In Africa, drought continues for the sixth consecutive year, adding terribly to the toll of famine victims. During 1972 record rains in parts of the U.S., Pakistan and Japan caused some of the worst flooding in centuries. In Canada’s wheat belt, a particularly chilly and rainy spring has […]

So yesterday we talked about Justice Ginsburg. And some people told me I was twisting words and making things worse than they were. In fact, I don’t think I went deeply enough into them. I spoke about population control – she was more accurately addressing eugenics. * Main Entry: eu-gen-ics * Pronunciation: yü-ˈje-niks * Function: […]

A new Rasmussen poll is out, an one that should be giving the Democratic party reason to be nervous. Republicans are now the party that voters trust on 8 out of 10 issues, and they’re quickly gaining on the other two. Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on eight out of 10 key electoral […]

By allowing government to metastasize wildly during flush economic times, states have set themselves up for an unavoidable crash, now that the economy is slowing down. ABC News lists the 10 in biggest trouble, along with their budget gaps as a percentage of their overall budgets: California: $53.7 billion shortfall or 58 percent of its […]
