Howard Dean & The Left’s Ground Zero Mosque Hate Fixation

Posted on by John Hawkins

Since Barack Obama was elected, the Left’s default reaction to any disagreement has been to scream “bigot,” “hatemonger,” and “racist” as loud as they can. In that sense, their reaction to the national outrage that has occurred over a celebratory mosque being built at Ground Zero has been entirely normal. They scream “bigot” first and […]

This Week In Quotes: Aug 13 – Aug 19

Posted on by John Hawkins

In a breathtakingly inappropriate setting, the president has chosen to declare our memories of 9/11 obsolete and the sanctity of Ground Zero finished. No one who has lived this history and felt the sting of our country’s loss that day can truly believe that putting our families through more wrenching heartache can be an act […]

Facing the prospect of a definitive rejection at the polls this November, Democrats are scrambling to change their spots.

Homocon: WorldNetDaily Vs. Ann Coulter

Posted on by John Hawkins

As you may have heard, Joseph Farah at WorldNetDaily has been bragging that he dumped Ann Coulter from a WorldNetDaily convention.

Obama and FDR on Proposed American Dollar Re-Design?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A little contest called the Dollar ReDes$ign Project has been launched on the web and I have to say the dismal design offerings being foisted on the public are a wonder to behold.

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

90 years after the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified, giving women the vote, Democrats are actively seeking to figuratively repeal the amendment. They are striving for a form of reverse-suffrage, wherein every woman must walk in lockstep with their ideology, or you are not a “real” woman. How dare women step off the […]

Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs made a name for himself by writing the premiere anti-radical Islam blog on the planet.

Video: Who is ‘Extreme’ Again, Mr. Obama?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The National Republican Senatorial Committee put out a good one… It seems beyond question that President Obama and his Party are not in good stead with the American public these three months ahead of the election.

Barack Obama’s Poor Approval Rating: A Puzzle Liberals Can’t Crack

Posted on by John Hawkins

Seeing some of the assumptions that are baked into the political calculations on the Left is a bit on the odd side. For example, here’s Matt Bai talking with liberals about why Barack Obama is so unpopular right now, Democrats in Washington are divided and somewhat puzzled over President Obama’s fading popularity. They reject, of […]

Time Blames Obama AND The Media for Ground Zero Mosque Flip Flop

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Writing for Time Magazine, Michael Scherer has one of the most schizophrenic pieces of political analysis I’ve seen for quite a while. In his piece, Scherer can’t quite seem to figure out exactly whom he thinks is to blame for Obama’s failed message on the Ground Zero mosque. Is it Obama’s fault for poor messaging? […]

 

Democrats Protest Glenn Beck Rally Spot but Support Ground Zero Mosque?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The intellectual dishonesty of Democrats is simply breathtaking. To show exactly how out of whack Democrat’s ideology is, they are protesting the site and date of a Glenn Beck rally over his perceived “insensitivity” but on the other hand seem wholly unbothered by the mosque planned on being built at Ground Zero. Purported civil rights […]

‘Israel Is a Bulwark. If Israel Wasn’t There You Have No Idea How Much Evil Would Be Unleashed On the World’

Posted on by Donald Douglas

That’s a key quote from Pamela’s lecture last night. She actually prefaced that by saying “You have no idea how much terrorism Israel absorbs” from the Middle East, thus providing the West with a bit of under-appreciated inoculation from Jihad. This was an extremely interesting point. I was really impressed with Robert Spencer‘s profound knowledge […]
