National Anthem Forbidden at National Monument

Posted on by Dave Blount

How bizarre it is to live under an allegedly American government that suppresses expressions of loyalty to America: A group of high school students attending a conservative leadership conference in Washington, D.C. said they were ordered by a security guard to stop singing the national anthem during a June 25 visit to the Lincoln Memorial. […]

 

Moderate Muslims’ Fight Against White Multi-Culti Liberals

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

There’s nothing like a sanctimonious liberal bent on proving his open-mindedness to make things difficult for people actually trying to affect a cultural change. In this specific case, moderate Muslims want a voice at the table and help in changing public perception, but liberals will have none of it. On the one hand, we have […]

 

New GOP Video: Deficit of Hope

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

“The American people have seen who is benefiting from Obama’s economy and it isn’t them. Barack Obama’s looming tax hikes on small businesses, job-killing regulations, and big government takeovers have created an economic climate saturated with uncertainty that is keeping employers from hiring. As a result, unemployment remains near 10 percent, nearly one in five […]

 

The 7 Worst Presidents Of The Last Hundred Years

Posted on by John Hawkins

Liberal historians have been ranking Presidents for years and of course there’s always a heavy leftward skew to their evaluations. Republicans are inevitably ranked lower than they deserve to be while Democrats are sure to be portrayed in the kindest historical light. Here’s a different take on the issue: A look at the worst Presidents […]

 

New York Times : Afraid of Gun Crazed, ‘Motley Carnivals of the Tea Party Movement’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The New York Times sent Mattathias Schwartz to find out what was going on at Jack Dailey’s firearms training camps across the country and what he found apparently made the writer fear that America was going to the lily white, revolutionary, tea party dogs.

Amer. Bar Assoc. Peddling Race Instead of Law With New ‘Hispanic Law’ Study

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

There are several precepts that American jurisprudence is supposed to be based upon. “Equal under the law,” “justice is blind,” “no man is either above or below the law,” in the U.S. these basic ideas undergird the premise that we are all the same under our American law. But apparently someone forgot to tell the […]

 

‘Tax Extenders’ Bill: Another Democrat Bailout of Special Interests

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The so-called “tax extenders” bill that was initially part of the unemployment package that Congress passed last month is still on the table. It was separated from the unemployment bill because the GOP opposed its inclusion and for good reason. It is little else but a sop to special interests and big corporations. The Democrats […]

 

Price Responds To Obama’s Car Joke: D Is For Dumb, R Is For Reform

Posted on by William Teach

I bet Barry didn’t see this one coming President Barack Obama has a flimsy case for claiming the economy is moving forward, as he has been claiming at recent Democratic Party fundraisers, critics say. “Right now he’s got us in a ditch,” Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.), chairman of the Republican Study Committee, told CNSNews.com. “There’s […]

Earlier today the left sent up cheers for an Alaska “teacher” that is seen on video attacking Governor Palin as “the worst Governor ever” as the sign she was putting up read. When Gov. Palin interacted with her, the woman told Palin she was a “teacher.” Looks like the woman, Kathleen Gustafson, is a liar. […]

 

Obama-Rama at Jersey Shore – That’s RAAAAACIST!!

Posted on by Donald Douglas

I love the fact that you can almost take out Obama and Osama at the same time. But seriously, I’d say the leftist outrage is a bit much, since everything from guillotines to Bush assassination movies greeted the 43rd occupant of the White House. Well, at least it gives desperate lefties another chance to scream […]

 

No Cure for the Summertime of Recovery Blues

Posted on by Dave Blount

Comrade Obama’s “Summer of Recovery” is not going down in history as one of our happiest seasons. As the Virtuous Republic observes, It’s as if Obama and Biden hosted a backyard barbeque and served burnt burgers, raw bratwurst, [and] warm pop and the picnic table was filthy and surrounded by flies and yet it was […]

A partial list […]

 

When a Civil Rights Group Hires All Whites… What do You Have?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As we are sonorously and endlessly told, the Southern Poverty Law Center is all about exposing the “hate” and working for “civil rights” in America. But a new website, Watching the Watchdogs, has tracked down the salaries and identities of SPLC’s top officers and it is interesting to note that they are all white people. […]

 

Ohio’s Dem. Gov. Gave Stimulus $$ to Co. That Exported Jobs to El Salvador

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

What was it that Democrat President Barack Obama told us about the stimulus? Oh, yeah that it would “save or create” American jobs. Seems like a good idea, right? So what happened in Ohio when Democrat Governor Ted Strickland got his mitts on some of Obama’s stimulus cash? Why he gave it to a company […]

 

Toilet Paper ‘Down Under’ To Cost More Thanks To Green Policies

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

First the greenies came to take away our lightbulbs in the U.S. and force us to buy more expensive ones. Now the greenies are on the march in Australia with the unkindest swipe of all: forcing Australians to pay 42 percent more for toilet paper. In a report recently put out by Tim Wilson of […]

 

Everything You Need To Know About How Liberals Kill The Economy In A Single Column

Posted on by John Hawkins

This column by small business owner Michael Fleischer is absolutely extraordinary because it gives people who’ve never worked for themselves a window into the world of the small business owner. These are the people who are endlessly vilified by the Left despite the fact that they create most of the jobs in our country. They’re […]

 

The Nukes We Need

Posted on by Donald Douglas

Keir Lieber and Daryl Press, previously at Foreign Affairs, “Preserving the American Deterrent“: The success of nuclear deterrence may turn out to be its own undoing.

Michelle Obama Kicks It Euro-Style While Americans…And Barack Obama Watch

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

The press won’t go there because, well, they love President Barack Obama and this story, accurately reported, is painful. I haven’t gone there because I don’t really care what’s going on between President Obama and his wife. President Clinton defiling the Oval office concerned me because his actions were a big f-u to the American […]

 

Glenn Beck: “I listened to the Media Matters’ Tape. What am I, a detective?”

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Glenn Beck goes after Media Matters in an awesome way. Please listen. As usual, The Right Scoop gets the tape: Also, the President and everyone in the media gets roasted over a spit in this clip. So awesome. “The real fault is Keith Olbermann.” Oh, for context: Glenn Beck uses the Media Matters taking a […]

 

Vacation Rules: Not The Same For Obama And You

Posted on by John Hawkins

Barack Obama seems to have the same attitude towards vacations that Al Gore has about cutting back because of global warming: That’s a good idea for you peons, but not for him. Barack Obama is the same guy who’s made a big deal about other people’s vacations, hasn’t he? This was the guy who quite […]

 

The National Guard Won’t Actually Be Guarding The Border When Finally Deployed

Posted on by William Teach

Paul Krugman: You Anti-Government Folks Are To Blame For State/Local Money Problems

Posted on by William Teach

If it’s a day ending in a “y”, it must be a day where an inside the beltway mentality liberal is making an absurd argument, casting blame, naming problems, but, unable to provide any rationale for his/her solutions. Over at Powerline, Paul eviscerates Excitable Matthew Yglesias over Matty’s ridiculous “Summer of Fear” opinion piece in […]

 

What Do You Owe Your Social Networking Pseudo-Friends?

Posted on by John Hawkins

The short answer to that question is: Very little. The longer, more interesting answer was inspired by a question one of my real friends posed this week-end: She has a guy she doesn’t know very well on Facebook who is getting on her nerves. She wants to just block him, but she doesn’t know how […]

Because I got nothin’ today, I will offer an amusing anecdote while simultaneously insulting my readers:

Posted on by TrogloPundit

But first: Into the laundromat stroll a youngish couple, he a whiskered slab of man with pectoral muscles like sides of beef, she all legs and shorts and hoodie. They proceed to load up a washer with NOTHING and watch it run, and at the end of its cycle move the NOTHING into a dryer […]
