Year: 2009

Well well well. The Obama health care plan is out, and Patients United Now has a copy, which, according to Ed Morrissey, is broken up into 9 parts. He wants folks to dig out some juicy gems after he found this one on p39-40 (1) IN GENERAL – A State shall keep an accurate accounting […]

The eighth amendment, which outlaws cruel and unusual punishment, is worded in such a way that its application is entirely subjective. Whether that is deliberate or not, it has been interpreted as a blank-check the courts can use to apply our “evolving mores of decency” and because of this, the traditional punishment of being locked […]

Jonah Goldberg’s bestseller Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Change is finally in paperback after 18 months. He made the rounds of conservative talk radio shows, talking to Glenn Beck on Monday. Goldberg congratulated Beck for his constant attempts to educate Americans about the history, and […]

Seasickness. It’s an utterly vile condition, worse, I think, than any other type of motion sickness. When you’re seasick, your entire body is rebelling against you. Worse, there’s no escape. You’re trapped in the middle of an endless ocean, feeling about as bad as it’s possible for a human to feel. Add something to that […]

This is amazing!!

Politics and special interests now run General Motors – a company which should be making business decisions based on what is best for the company and its future and not what is best for some politician: Rep Barney Frank (D-Mass.) won a stay of execution on Thursday for a General Motors plant in his district […]

Usually, the all-Democrat world of Chicago politics that produced Comrade Obama reminds us of a cesspool. But sometimes it’s more like a freak show: Former Illinois Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich says it’s difficult watching his wife, Patti, fill in for him on a reality show, but he appreciated the former Illinois first lady’s televised exercise […]

The scariest part of the movie Bride of Re-Animator was when the marauding zombies learned to use tools. A similar development is taking place at Democratic Underground, where the mouth-breathing moonbats have hatched a scheme to use modern technology to make Fox News shut up: I just ordered a TV-B-Gone, for FOX News quarantine enforcement. […]

It’s hard not to notice that the media was doing more economic “woe is me” stories about people suffering during the fat years of the Bush era than they’re doing now, when Obama is destroying whole industries and permanently damaging the economy with his spending. Here’s one that you definitely wouldn’t have seen during the […]

Are you a guy out there dating a liberal? Do you find it tough to get her the right kind of gifts? The sort of gifts that say, “Yes dear, it’s true that we don’t agree politically, but I do respect your beliefs.” Then, today is your lucky day, because Mio Destino’s “Yes We Can-Can” […]

I’ve written about Hal Turner, the violent white supremacist nutjob, before. Turner has a bad habit of encouraging violent attacks on election officials. Here’s what he wrote last time, After we kill them; what to do? After the pending Second American Revolution results in killing the people who have wrecked this country — yes, you […]

For me, it wasn’t the President’s speech that interested me all that much. The translation of the speech is simple: Appease. What was interesting in Egypt was who wasn’t there. Where was Michelle? Yesterday, we found out that she was firing staff members while the Eye of Sauron was drawn elsewhere. Not sweet, sweet Michelle! […]

No, seriously. That was the headline at Talking Points Memothe other day, before someone went “woops, maybe we should hide our real views” and deleted the post, which I hadn’t gotten around to posting, but had sitting around under my bookmarks as a potential. Fortunately, Climate Depot has a copy of what The Insolent Braggart […]

I’ve been thinking long and hard this morning on whether or not I would blog the following story, as it is one that can seriously inflame passions on the abortion subject. In the end, I felt that it was worth it. Broken windows into abortion doctor’s life At the Boulder Abortion Clinic, Dr. Warren Hern […]

We think we can’t survive without deficit spending — but we soon won’t be able to survive with deficit spending, either. — Tony Blankley International pressure — diplomacy only works if there’s leverage. It sounds wonderful — ‘Let’s go talk to people’ — but you better have leverage in order to make diplomacy work. — […]

Twenty years ago, in the spring of 1989, millions of Chinese people peacefully demanded democracy from their Communist government. Centered in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, the protestors were protected by the populace who set up barriers to keep them free from government intervention. But on the morning of June 4th, the Communist regime ordered tanks […]

Yesterday, I wrote about the reason why gays aren’t bothered by President Obama’s forked tongue: they know he’s lying. So, it’s also been noted that President Barack HUSSEIN Obama has rediscovered his inner-Muslim, the part of the Obama that was racist during the campaign. Now, see, it’s convenient and helpful to be part of the […]

A few new developments, none of them good. One – Obama has indicated his willingness to entertain legislation that would tax your private health care benefits. What that means is you’ll be taxed on the money your employer spends on your health care insurance. Of course the obvious immediate effect would be to raise revenue […]

The video alone is amazing. UPDATE: Evidently, people didn’t even know this is the anniversary, which is why I posted this.

It turns out Playboy’s invitation to fantasize about raping famous conservative women wasn’t such a big deal after all. First, it drew approving chuckles from Politico under the subheading, “The Lighter Side of Politics.” Now MSM propagandist Bonnie Erbe of U.S. News & World Report officially confirms that at least some conservative women deserve to […]

Just as Comrade Obama bows to Muslim rulers, he is offered the same obeisance by his obsequious Myrmidons at NBC: Brian Williams ought to take a lesson in bowing from a pro. To really show your cringing submission, you need to come just short of banging your head on the floor. Like this: On tips […]

Senator Sam Brownback put on a teleconference today about closing Guantanamo Bay. What follows are my notes, not quotes, from the teleconference. Sam Brownback’s Opening Statement About 3 weeks ago, I went to Gitmo. I have visited a number of prisons in the US and this was one of the nicer prison facilities I’ve been […]

The Republican party gets derisively called the Party of No. More like, they’re the party of “Maybe” which is why they’ve been hated so much recently. Will they or won’t they? No one can predict and they end up being very ugly, Arlen Specterish teases flopping all over the issues and standing for none. Not […]

My theory has long been that if Democrat was elected in 2008, conservatives would be energized and liberals would lose steam. There is some evidence that this is happening. For example, from a WAPO Story about the liberal Take Back America conference, That ambivalence could account for the lethargy at this year’s conference; as Fox […]

Via Newsbusters comes this story that simultaneously explains why California has so many budget problems and why it’s so difficult to cut spending, In a time when fiscal responsibility from politicians seems to be a thing of the past, NBC’s “Today Show” and ABC’s “World News with Charles Gibson” criticized California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for […]

Obama obviously timed his speech in Cairo (2 PM local time) to minimize the number of people in the states who might be tuning in live to see it in the States (before 8 AM). That was a good move given the alarming naivete that was on display from the man who’s supposed to be […]

Looks like when it comes to reading books, Bush is the Master, and Obama is the Padawan. Bush=Captain, Obama=deckhand It appears President Obama has to step up his reading pace if he wants to beat his predecessor in one particular measure: how many books a president can polish off a year. In an interview with […]

Remember the statement President Apology Tour gave within hours after uber abortion doctor George Tiller was murdered (and yes, murdered, and Roeder should be tried on capital murder charges)? I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr. George Tiller as he attended church services this morning. However profound our differences as Americans over […]

According to ABC News, Stratfor, and Doug Ross, yes. From Doug Ross: A disturbing aspect of the attack is that Muhammad had been brought to the FBI’s attention months ago, according to ABC News. But U.S. counterterror teams may have been intentionally prevented from investigating radicalized converts to Islam: Several weeks ago, STRATFOR heard from […]

Which of those descriptions in the title would best describe your understanding of a Supreme Court Justice? If you wonder what President Obama wants in a Supreme Court Justice, take a look at this excerpt from his speech explaining why he couldn’t vote for Justice Roberts. He’s describing that 95% of the cases before the […]
