America’s Democrat-Socialist Party

I’ve long written about this – most recently at “Progressives Are Communists (If You Didn’t Know“). It’s a done deal now. Leftists can quit lying about it. The Democratic Party is a socialist party. (I call them commies, and while there’s some additional steps in the Marxist dialectic before you get there, the ultimate destination […]

Obama’s Ground Zero Backpedaling Fail

Byron York calls Obama’s Ground Zero statements “Clintonian“: … there is simply no doubt that Obama’s Friday evening speech, in the context in which it was delivered, was an endorsement of the Ground Zero project. It was certainly widely understood as such. The headlines of the three New York papers reporting the speech were: “Obama […]

NY Times Exposes Yet More Secrets From The War Against Terrorism

They are little secrets, but, loose lips sink ships, or, better put, idiot newspapers publishing operational secrets causes real American citizens to be butchered by jihadi barbarians.

The Left Lies Because You’re Too Stupid for the Truth

The Daily Caller recently reported on a twitter exchange between Matt Yglesias, blogger savant at Think Progress, and and Washington Examiner’s Mark Hemingway.:  During the discussion, Yglesias basically endorsed lying and deception as legitimate when used to advance the left-wing agenda. “Fighting dishonesty with dishonesty is sometimes the right thing for advocates to do, yes,” […]

 

How Close Is Close Enough?

I’m still astounded that idiots like Charles Johnson make the unbeatably peurile argument that the mosque is “two blocks away from Ground Zero.” It’s really not a matter if distance. It’s the symbolism. Still, how close is close enough? A landing gear away? Above photo: A piece of the landing gear that crashed into the […]

 


In Solidarity: Lunch-Bucket Americans Against Ground Zero Mosque

Via Tammy Bruce: Ronald Brownstein referred to “lunch-bucket” Americans in a recent piece on Democratic Party weaknesses: “Dems Face Losses In Blue-Collar Districts: The House districts of the late John Murtha and retiring David Obey are lunch-bucket Democratic seats that may turn Republican in the fall.” I’m still trying to figure out the upside for […]

 

The Tax Left-Wing Professors Act

James Lileks of the Minneapolis Star Tribune recently had a brilliant idea. Let’s tax tenured professors at a higher rate than everyone else. And how could they complain? After all, these left-wing, communist sympathizers are always saying everyone should pay more taxes. How could they complain about being called to “pay their fair share”? Lileks […]

 

Did Turkey Bomb Kurds With Chemical Weapons in 2009?

News is just beginning to eek out that Turkey might have used chemical weapons to kill some Kurdish activists a year ago in the Kurdish area of southeastern Turkey.

President Chumps Weekly Address Attacks GOP Over Issue Not Even Being Discussed

Another Saturday, another day for, well, can you really call him President at this point?

Breaking: Obama Defends Ground Zero Mosque as ‘The Writ of Our Founders’

-By Warner Todd Huston We have finally heard the full and definitive take that President Obama has on the outrageous Ground Zero mosque project. He’s all for it.

‘People Were Coming Down Burning’

At MAinfo, “September 11th Was NOT About ‘Optics’ as Kos Kook Says“: What a bunch of whiny, immature fools write over at the Daily Kos. They are upset because our memories of 9/11 get in the way of their progressive agenda. And by minimizing that happened that day, they hope to get beyond it. But […]

 

BREAKING: SC Democrat Senate Candidate Indicted on Felony Obscenity Charge

Oh-noes… the Democrats may have thought they had a “quirky” candidate running for Senate in South Carolina in the person of one Alvin Greene.

A Vicious Cycle Of Dependency

Yesterday I commented about the permanent black underclass created by the Democrats with their social programs. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. There is no better example of that than the following pictures of an estimated 30,000 people showing up in Atlanta, Georgia on Wednesday to get a public housing application. Yes, […]

 


Obama Has No Policy on ‘Housing’ For Detainees Convicted by Military Tribunals

After the heming and hawing by the Obama administration over whether we should bring terror suspects to trial before military commissions, Obama’s DOJ and DOD finally decided that they could. But once again we see the half-way actions of the Obama administration shining through by the fact that, even as Obama seems to agree with […]

 


$26.1 Billion Union Bailout Went to States that Didn’t Need it

As I mentioned in a previous discussion on the Democrats $26.1 billion bailout for unions that Speaker Pelosi pushed through Congress at the last minute this summer, there was no need for the money for the stated purpose of “saving teachers” jobs. After all many states still had $30 billion of the previous stimulus that […]

 

Should Federal Clerks and Archivists Have Guns and Badges?

To attest to the ever more authoritarian nature of our federal government, I give you the stormtroopers of the National Archives who, for some unfathomable reason, have guns, badges and the power to “raid homes.” The L.A. Times published a story recently detailing the poor state of security of our National Archives holdings. The piece […]
