Year: 2009

It was disappointing to many Republicans to see the National Republican Senatorial Committee get involved in the Charlie Crist vs. Marco Rubio primary in Florida. We’ve had the leadership of the Republican Party saying we need to get back to our principles and talking about how important it is to attract more young voters and […]

For a Party that always tells us they are looking towards the future, the Democrats sure like to live in the past, and not just in rumination about past victories and those EVIL Booooooosh years, as the Nutroots term them. Their climate change legislation attempts to take us back to life in the late 1800’s. […]

Because the fact you’ve been a responsible adult and paid your credit cards on time and have immaculate credit simply doesn’t matter once Congress gets involved in saving yet another victim class from itself: Credit cards have long been a very good deal for people who pay their bills on time and in full. Even […]

I’m going to be doing Political Vindication Radio at 9:15 PM EST. Make sure to listen in. —- Talk Back With Chuck Wilder At 4:05 PM EST I’m doing Talk Back With Chuck Wilder at 4:05 PM EST. We’re going to talk about Republicans playing dirty.

Two of the greatest influences on our Community Activist in Chief were his mentors Bill Ayers, an unrepentant Maoist terrorist, and Jeremiah Wright, a rabidly anti-American Marxist race hustler. Not even Chairman Zero is arrogant enough to give these vermin official positions in the government. But that doesn’t mean they haven’t been taking part in […]

Remember this? It gives a general sense of what Comrade Obama is doing to our future. But to be accurate, as Hot Air points out, we’re going to need a bigger graph. To quote Robert J. Samuelson: From 2010 to 2019, Obama projects annual deficits totaling $7.1 trillion; that’s atop the $1.8 trillion deficit for […]

Nancy Pelosi is lying about the CIA and everyone knows it. Democrats know it, Republicans know it, the media knows it — anyone who has followed the story at all knows it. Because she doesn’t want to admit the obvious truth, that she knew we were waterboarding terrorists back in 2002 and had no problem […]

Obama has completely wasted billions of dollars in taxpayer money on the auto bailouts and the results have been disastrous. American jobs are being sent overseas with taxpayer money, in what may be the most corrupt deal since the Teapot Dome scandal, Obama has put his union allies in charge of Chrysler and the government […]

I had a blogger conference call with the American Petroleum Institute on Friday. Here is the link. Below is the audio.

I’m amusing myself with headlines today. On the one hand, old, white Republican males are happy. On the other hand, young, white, blue-collar (read Republican?) males are being hammered by this recession/depression. So, if the life arc of a white male is pondered, it looks like this: There’s the angry, young man phase. There’s the […]

If America is going to be Europe Lite and turn into a socialist country, soft, cushy, lacking innovation and miserably haughty, I think America needs to decide how “nice” is going to look. The idea is create a society free of hardship rather than a free society. So what will that mean? Over at the […]

Seldom do I have a good thing to say about the Obama Administration’s policies because, well, seldom does he do anything good for the country. But, assuming this program pans out — which is a big “if” given the history of immigration enforcement in this country — it has my full approval, The Obama administration […]

When you go to the auto lot starting in 2012, expect your choices to be golf cart sized vehicles President Obama will announce tough new nationwide rules for automobile emissions and mileage standards on Tuesday, embracing standards that California has sought to enact for years over the objections of the auto industry and the Bush […]

I’m going to have to add one more problem on to John’s 6 problems with modern liberalism: it rots their brains to the point they will say and believe the most insane things. They go batsh*t crazy, as Ace termed it, when witnessing Excitable Andy’s long fall into insanity. You had Kos himself writing “screw […]

1) You really didn’t learn everything you needed to know in kindergarten: Liberals love to think of themselves as sophisticated, nuanced intellectuals, but the truth is they have a kindergartner’s view of the world. If it has been defined as “nice” to people they like, they’re for it. If it has been defined as “mean” […]

Why does multiculturalism advance like a conquering army? Why is Barack Obama invited to speak at Notre Dame? It has a lot to do with ambition, prestige and the structure of the American elite: Such is the nature of this elite that only cowards ever apply for membership. No one expects honesty from the New […]

McClatchy reports that doom is descending on America in the form of a plague of bedbugs: The biggest bedbug outbreak since World War II has sent a collective shudder among apartment dwellers, college students and business travelers across the nation. The bugs — reddish brown, flat and about the size of a grain of rice […]

Neil Steinberg of the Chicago Sun-Times rolls up his sleeves to address a question that has liberals puzzled: What’s behind the anti-abortion frenzy? The recent finding that a majority of Americans are now pro-life is dismissed as “a hard rightward swing among Republicans and nothing more.” After all, “human rights are not determined by majority […]

Here is part 3 of the video critique. Please rate on YouTube. Enjoy!

There is a deep disconnect between the religious beliefs of most black Americans and how they vote. From a mid-2008 article in Newsweek, The more religiously active an American is, the more likely he is to vote Republican–unless he’s black. That fact emerged in the second part of a Pew Forum study on the landscape […]

Offering a proposal that the other side finds to be beyond-the-pale and telling them that you’re not really interested in their ideas doesn’t become a genuine attempt at bipartisanship just because you talk to them for 15 minutes over sandwiches, President Barack Obama’s first date with House Republicans didn’t end so well: He made a […]

Andrew Breitbart fessed up in a way only someone in New Media fesses up: fully, completely, and on the editorial page of a rather progressive Old Media paper, the Washington Times. I won’t reiterate his shame here. You can read it for yourself. Anyone who writes for a living makes mistakes. Some fall into the […]

Although Herbert Hoover is rarely cited when one thinks of “immortal words”, these few paragraphs from Hoover (from James T. Flynn’s “The Roosevelt Myth”, HT: the Heritage Foundation) should certainly give you pause: In every single case before the rise of totalitarian governments there had been a period dominated by economic planners. Each of these […]

One of the more bizarre comparisons, well at least for Star Trek fans, is Barack Obama to Spock. The idea here is supposed to be that Barack Obama is calm and collected like Spock. However, to begin with, it’s a little hard to see exactly what is supposed to make Obama more dispassionate or low […]

Here are the best quotations from Chin-Ning Chu’s book, Thick Face, Black Heart: The Warrior Philosophy for Conquering the Challenges of Business and Life When you conceal your will from others, that is thick. When you impose your will on others, that is black. — Lee Zhong Wu, P.7 The world has a tendency to […]

from Waxman’s anthropogenic global warming bill So on Friday came the details of Waxman’s “allowance allocation,” which is what he calls the ration coupons. That’s right: we’re all seven again, and the state is our Mommy, meting out our yearly energy allowance. Waxman released a two-page memo to describe the now 1,000 page bill, which […]

Minority Leader John Boehner has jumped into the “Nancy Pelosi says the CIA lied to her” fiasco. How soon will the Democrats and the media call the issue a “distraction from the issues that are important to Americans?” (h/t Ace) A key Republican leader demanded Sunday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi produce evidence to back […]

Bruce Bartlett gives you a different way of looking at the mess your political leaders, over a number of generations, have gotten us into and what it will cost, at a minimum, to fulfill the promises they’ve made over the decades. To summarize, we see that taxpayers are on the hook for Social Security and […]

Remember this one? “Edwards reaffirms key political question.” And this, its predecessor. Oh, did I get abused for this. Even by some pretty slick brains. How could I be so mean. Well. And… and… to Her. What were my mean old words? That he was either “a liar or a moral retard.” Yea-heah. Yes, now […]

It seems like every few years we have to have this debate about marijuana, and sometimes other drugs. But, in the era of hopeNchange, it is becoming louder and more open. We know that Attorney General Eric Holder has told the DEA to stop raiding “medical marijuana” dealers, er, shops. We know that El Presidente […]
