Year: 2009

Imagine what the outcry would be if it was five Republicans. I wouldn’t have had to run across the story by accident Five members of Congress and three activists were arrestedon civil disobedience charges in front of the Sudanese Embassy on Monday for protesting “crimes against humanity” in Darfur. The congress members crossed a yellow […]

As you’re seeing demonstrated in the machinations concerning GM and Chrysler, not to mention the attempt to pass the card check legislation, unions are a favored constituency within the Obama administration. And it gets even better: The Obama administration, which has boasted about its efforts to make government more transparent, is rolling back rules requiring […]

Of all the reckless, insensitive, brazenly wasteful and dangerous things to do, the Obama Administration is now responsible for “traumatizing” residents and workers in the New York- New Jersey metropolitan area. Embedded video from CNN Video The best part? That Obama’s Director of the White House Military Office did not even take the precaution of […]

Will Arlen Specter be as big a thorn in the Democratic flesh as he’s been for Republicans? Doubt it. His ideological home has been the left for as long as I’ve paid attention to him. I’m still irritated as hell that President Bush threw his weight behind Specter who gave him nothing but fits about […]

If a Republican has a tough decision to make when confirming Robert Bork and standing up against Card Check, maybe he’s not a Republican. Please rate on YouTube.

Considering that the Marxists who have taken over the government are plunging the country into economic ruin, it’s remarkable that even the libs at AP could come up with a poll indicating that 48% of Americans think the country “is headed in the right direction” — since that direction is obviously straight down. But like […]

Via Policy Watch, a few graphs explain what it means to the economy to let moonbats run the country: Imagine what our prospects will look like after four years of this. On a tip from V the K. Cross-posted at Moonbattery.

Just yesterday, I wrote a post noting that Arlen Specter could not beat Pat Toomey and that the GOP leadership needs to start thinking of ways to ease him out. Today, the big news is that Arlen Specter is switching to the Democratic Party. Is that coincidence? Yeah, probably is, actually. So, what now? Well […]

This pic was shamelessly stolen from the great Lucianne Goldberg.

In an act of supreme narcissisitic idiocy, one of Barack Obama’s planes did a very low level flight over New York with fighter jets flying close behind. This, quite naturally, created a major panic in New York with people screaming in the streets and buildings being evacuated. So, what was the purpose behind Obama terrifying […]

The context As secret missions go, this one was a flop. On Monday morning, one of the 747s used to ferry around the U.S. president was dispatched to the Statue of Liberty, escorted by a fighter jet. Assignment: Get some fresh glamour shots of the plane. The Air Force said the flight needed to remain […]

If anything shows that the whole torture case is a political debate, meant simply to go after Bush, mostly because the Left is deranged and cannot MoveOn, this does Following an ABC News investigation last night that showed a Royal Sheikh from the United Arab Emirates mercilessly torturing a man with whips, electric cattle prods […]

* Lucky they listened to us and secured our Southern border so people w/ Swine Flu can’t just cross at will and infect Americans…oh wait… * The “eliteness” of America’s “political elite” typically consists only of being better connected and less principled than everyone else * A “constitutional scholar” who believes in a living constitution […]

Future generations will want to study Barack Obama’s presidency, not only because he made history by being America’s first black President, but because he also appears to be on track to be America’s worst President. Sure, everybody wants to know the minute details of what Abe Lincoln or Teddy Roosevelt did in the White House, […]

You know, when you’re in DC it seems such a calm and beautiful place, and yet, the cynical machinations of politicians continue unabated. We now have Nancy Pelosi under fire for essentially sanctioning the “advanced interrogation techiniques” by not speaking up against them or opposing them when she was briefed about their use many years […]

Everyone remember SARS, short for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome? I do, and at the time I recall telling everyone that it was nothing other than a severe overreaction. I was proven right back then; SARS turned out to be scaremongering over nothing. This insanity with the Swine Flu is likely to lead to the same […]

Three weeks ago, I wrote a post called Steele, McConnell, & Cornyn: What Are They Doing About Jim Bunning? It basically pointed out the obvious to anyone who closely follows politics: it’s highly likely that if Jim Bunning is the GOP candidate in Kentucky next year, we’re probably going to lose the seat. Therefore, the […]

According to moonbat science, water that runs down the drain doesn’t go back into the system, but pours out a pipe at the bottom of the planet, dispersing irrecoverably into outer space. This is why water conservation is so important, and why moonbats disapprove of taking showers. Jennifer Aniston limits herself to 3-minute showers. Cate […]

The war in Iraq is pretty much won, but that doesn’t stop moonbats from sticking it to the military any way they can. The hippies infesting Arcata, California have passed a measure making it illegal for military personnel to discuss the merits of service with anyone under 18: The law was the inspiration of former […]

Howard Kurtz detail more media bias and the insider access afforded the elite few. And those few love President Obama, especially the New York Times: The networks have given President Obama more coverage than George W. Bush and Bill Clinton combined in their first months — and more positive assessments to boot. In a study […]

During the 2008 Republican primaries, Ron Paul was semi-regularly appearing on the Alex Jones show. Setting aside any other disagreements I had with Ron Paul, I really didn’t appreciate the fact that he was helping to legitimize a kook by appearing on his show. Well, since the election, Alex Jones has apparently mainstreamed his website […]

You know that impossible task, border control, is so incredibly daunting and shameful and racist and discriminatory and all…, but if America is swept with Swine Flu and thousands die, will our politically correct porous border still be morally defensible? From a “First, Do No Harm” perspective America’s current border policy seems, well, harmful. This […]

“Common-sense observations about human nature are now politicized as ‘conservative,’ so that every knocked-up 15-year-old can be said to be engaged in liberal activism and her baby-daddy is a ‘community organizer’ of sorts. One imagines that nowadays the high-school Lothario, encountering resistance as he tries to get to second base with his would-be conquest, chides […]

Hmm, what to do, what to do Plants absorbed carbon dioxide more efficiently under the polluted skies of recent decades than they would have done in a cleaner atmosphere, according to new findings published this week in Nature. The results of the study have important implications for efforts to combat future climate change which are […]

….I think this blasphemous, grotesque picture which is scheduled to be shown in NYC’s Union Square on Obama’s 100th day in office should do the trick. Setting aside the offensive blasphemy aspect of this, anyone who builds a politician up to this level is setting himself up for a fall — especially when you’re talking […]

Or so thinks the Politico, which proves that the Left just doesn’t get what Conservatism is about, and also shows that the “GOP elite” do not get it, either. You can see it in the headline, In GOP base, a ‘rebellion brewing’, the problem being that Conservatives do not see our politics, which you can […]

I just finished up Jack Cashill’s What’s the Matter with California?: Cultural Rumbles from the Golden State and Why the Rest of Us Should Be Shaking and found it to be an intriguing read. The book focuses on California’s history and culture in an effort to try to figure out how it became such a […]

Last fall I reluctantly supported John McCain for President. I wasn’t even sure why at the time, and could mostly focus on why I thought Barack Obama was not up to the task. But shame on me — there was a reason, and it’s the same issue that made me realize I am a conservative […]

The MSM droolfest has reached a fever pitch in this new article. If you’re feeling kind of queasy today, you might want to skip reading it. And Michelle recommends it… but only if you feel like losing around 50 IQ points. Here’s a few highlights: Barack Hussein Obama is the nation’s first hip president. … […]

So, it is a really beautiful day out, having a bit of a heat wave (yes, we actually have those, libs, it isn’t man-made global warming, relax,) you’re probably chilling this late afternoon, having a cool refreshment, but, hold off a few while reading this. I will not be held responsible for damaged keyboards In […]
