Nagasaki & Hiroshima: No Regrets

Posted on by John Hawkins

A couple of years back, I was invited to participate in a TV special in New York that was put on by the equivalent of PBS in Japan. Long story short, it featured Americans talking with people from Hiroshima about nuclear weapons. The result, which I’ve never seen, was supposed to be shown on the […]

 

Hanoi John Kerry Wants to Import More Muslims

Posted on by Dave Blount

For those jobs that can’t be outsourced to Asia, our liberal rulers are importing Muslims: US Senator and chairman of Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee, John Kerry, appealed on Tuesday for cementing US ties with the Muslim world with a two-way exchange of professionals like teachers, city planners, and public health workers.

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. […]

 

Liberals Assume Infinite Money

Posted on by John Hawkins

One of the things about liberals that always strikes me is that they seem to start with the assumption that we should always have money to spend for a good cause. So, if we need to extend unemployment benefits for a year? Well, do it! People in Africa need more money to fight AIDS? Go […]

 

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 […]

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 […]

 

About the Left’s New Palin-Confronting ‘Teacher,’ Turns Out She Lied

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

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. […]

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 […]

 

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 […]

 

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

Posted on by William Teach

It’s not the fault of the National Guard, of course, but the boobs at the White House and the executive offices at DHS The 1,200 National Guard troops that are being deployed incrementally to the southwest border “will not be doing direct law enforcement,” said U.S. National Guard Bureau Director of Communications Jack Harrison when […]

 

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 […]
