Year: 2009

I have always liked John Ensign. I even felt sorry for him when he took on the unenviable task of running the NRSC for the 2008 election cycle. Talk about one of the lousiest jobs in politics — that was it. Well, over the last few days, one of the hot stories has been Ensign’s […]

There are times to be concerned about the ultra-progressive agenda of Obama and the Donkeys, and times to take a chill pill. I do believe that, in this case, Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.) has gone a bit overboard. Not quite in Dennis Kucinich’s league, and she certainly hasn’t compared our troops to Nazi’s, Pol Pot’s troops, […]

More wacko-ness from PETA. On the bright side, at least we find out he is not a god or something Well, I guess it can’t be said that President Obama wouldn’t hurt a fly. The commander in chief was recently pestered by a fly during an interview. He swatted at the insect and killed the […]

* There is no such thing as a conservative who regularly writes for either “The Atlantic” or “The Daily Beast.” Just saying. * Only amateurs think they know everything. * All of Obama’s success relies on the media not asking the most basic questions about his intent and his policies. * I wonder if the […]

Caroline Glick, writing in the Jerusalem Post, seems to have as good a measure of Barack Obama’s “foreign policy” as anyone I’ve read. Discussing that in the context of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s Sunday speech (two state solution/demilitarized Palestine), Glick writes of Obama and his advisors: To be moved by rational argument, a person […]

All men are free. Regime leaders know this. This is why they use force to suppress the people. If the people realize they are free….the fight is over. Freedom for the people of Iran. Freedom for all men. Yes. I’m idealistic. Yes, I know attaining freedom is not simple. Often, blood is spilled. For the […]

Anyone who says the Iranian election wasn’t fixed wasn’t paying attention. Enjoy!!

Could the mainstream media be more irrelevant? Just when I think it’s not possible, Maureen Dowd writes about President Barack Obama and his dietary habits. From the New Editor: Dowd goes on to note that President Obama has gone out on highly-publicized trips for burgers, and “Michelle sometimes takes her staff on impromptu lunch trips […]

At 4:07 PM EST, I’m going to be on the Jaz McKay show. Click here to listen.

Even Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) — who supported Chairman Zero from the beginning — is appalled at his authoritarian contempt for the rule of law regarding the firing of Gerald Walpin for discovering Obamunist corruption in the process of doing his job. She’s issued a statement: The White House has failed to follow the proper […]

What to do with the most powerful military in history, while we wait for it to rot away under the regime of Hopey Change? Why not use it to advance race-based social engineering: The Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead announced in Annapolis recently that “diversity is the number one priority” at the Naval […]

The Iranian people are still in the streets and there are some encouraging signs that the regime could be starting to crack. According to the Cyrus News Agency, Tuesday morning 16 senior members of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps were arrested. “These commanders have been in contact with members of the Iranian army to join the […]

Seldom do I get to say nice things about Barack Obama, so when he does something right, it’s fantastic to be able to give the man the credit he deserves. Yesterday, Barack Obama pulled off what is easily the greatest achievement of his presidency so far without spending a single taxpayer dollar. In a display […]

There has been a lot of talk in the news of late about white supremacists. Earlier this month, there were articles suggesting that Al-Qaeda wants to ally with white militia groups for attacks inside the United States. Some people might think that to be unlikely, but, for reasons you’ll soon see, I think it should […]

Now, Mousavi is not really for as much openness and reform as people may think, and certainly not on the international front, but, at this point, he may be opening a can of worms that could force major changes in Iran Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi has called for a mass rally to protest […]

The Congressional Budget Office came out with their assessment of ObamaCare Tuesday, and, it is not pretty “How are we going to pay for that, Mr. President?” Sen. John McCain has asked. That one question – how the nation really pays for health reform – just got a shocking wake up call. The Congressional Budget […]

It’s not unusual for politicians to inspire strong emotions. After all, there is a reason why people suggest you avoid talking about race, religion, and politics if you want to have a nice dinner conversation. But, there is just something about Sarah Palin that arouses a particularly strong reaction. Liberals attack her children, say grotesquely […]

While I’ve been monitoring the upheaval in Iran, I’ve also been fascinated by the debate (and commentary) over what President Obama should or shouldn’t say about what is going on there. Politico makes the point that the administration doesn’t want to become is part of the story. Consequently the State Department has been studying the […]

Today, the leader of conservatives in the Senate, Jim DeMint, endorsed Marco Rubio over Charlie Crist in the Florida Primary. Crist, as many of you may be aware, is the middle-of-the-roader who has been endorsed by the NRSC, John Cornyn, Mitch McConnell, and John McCain. On the other hand, Rubio is the young, charismatic, Hispanic, […]

Many of us have a romantic vision of journalists who dig up information on government corruption. Sadly, that perception has not been the reality over the last decade. Now, as many of you have already read from the Drudge Report, ABC will be giving the Obama administration proxy control over ABC broadcasting. I’m not sure […]

Well, ABC is one of the propaganda arms, anyway. When it comes to Health Care, ABC’s Charlie (look down-my-nose-at-Sarah-Palin) Gibbs and Diane Sawyer will be asking “tough questions” of President Obama, in the White House about the President’s health care plan. Every once in a while I pine for the Fairness Doctrine. Maybe then, the […]

America is up to its neck in debt to the communist Chinese. But apparently that’s no reason for the government not to give them our money for free in the name of the preposterous global warming hoax: U.S. Special Envoy for Climate Change Todd Stern said that there was “no question” that China would receive […]

Liberal politics are so upside and backwards, they can make history run in reverse. Desperate to get away from the confiscatory taxes, stagnant economy, and social disintegration that are the unavoidable consequences of liberal rule, Californians are leaving in droves for the dustbowl. Fleeing the Great Depression and a drought unprecedented in American history, a […]

Are we in a new America where the state runs the show and the citizens are bit players or are we still a government of, by and for the people? Judging by economic policy, I’d say we’re all servants of the state now. Here’s a snippet from my latest American Issues Project column where I […]

Hi guys! If you haven’t already listened, the Podcast with Steve Schippert of National Review Online The Tank and Threatswatch.org and John Hawkins, my co-blogger at Right Wing News is now available. It was so good and spot on! We talked about the structure of Iranian government, Islam’s relationship to Democracy and more. Plus, how […]

Living, as a I do, in the Myrtle Beach area, I get to see a lot of dumb t-shirts that are apparently aimed at the crude, drunk, south of 80 IQ teenager demographic, but they don’t quite match up to this shirt on CafePress, Dude, what the hell? Same question, different t-shirt from the same […]

The latest polling from Gallup on the ideological make-up of the country and the Republican Party blows Titanic holes in so much of what passes for conventional wisdom inside the Beltway, Thus far in 2009, 40% of Americans interviewed in national Gallup Poll surveys describe their political views as conservative, 35% as moderate, and 21% […]

Nothing like starting your Tuesday with some doom and gloom from Climahysterics, eh? The impact of a changing climate is already being felt across the United States, like shifting migration patterns of butterflies in the West and heavier downpours in the Midwest and East, according to a government study to be released on Tuesday. I […]

Yes, finally, President Obama commented on what is going on in Iran, but, lest you think this was scripted, some sort of announcement as so many Obama shills seeming to be saying, um, no. From the White House blog, we find that he commented on Iran because he was asked a question from someone in […]
