I love it! This is being sponsored by GOProud. They had a booth at CPAC across from Smart Girl Politics, so I got to know the Executive Director, Jimmy LaSalvia. A great guy.

Keep Playing That Race Card, Joe Conason

Posted on by John Hawkins

As Barack Obama’s popularity has continued to dip and the transparently self-serving cries of racism have reached a crescendo, complaints about bigotry in America have become ever more laughable. My personal fave of late is Jesse Jackson’s breathless claim that Cav’s owner Dan Gilbert was treating Lebron James like a “runaway slave.” However, lily white […]

For the New York Daily News Eileen Norcross and Todd Zywicki penned a piece taking public employees pensions to task for being “too rich for America’s blood.” Of course, they rightly blame unions and compliant politicians for the disaster.

Liberal Dhimmis At Common Dreams Spin In Support Of Cordoba Project

Posted on by William Teach

One has to wonder how much of the support for building an Islamic “cultural center” two blocks from the former site of the World Trade Center by those on Left is actually true support or, instead, their kneejerk response to anything that the American Right is against. Either way, they are going out of their […]

Dear Congressman Etheridge

Yesterday I sent the following letter to the office of my opponent, Congressman Bob Etheridge: Dear Congressman Etheridge, Last week, you mailed (and emailed) letters and newsletters from your Congressional office to voters across the district.

1,200 Band-Aids

Posted on by Dave Blount

No wonder Comrade Obama refuses to take more than obviously ineffectual token gestures to enforce border security and immigration law. Why waste energy on a problem that has already been solved? As he told us: Today, we have more boots on the ground near the Southwest border than at any time in our history. Let […]

Read this from Wired and be alarmed: A national security letter is an informal administrative letter the FBI can use to secretly demand customer records from ISPs, financial institutions, libraries, insurance companies, travel […]

 

Blame Bush! Yeah, That’s The Ticket

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Yep, people still dislike Bush. No question. Many disaffected Republicans are furious with the party, have gone Independent, and believe President Bush caused much of the problems people deal with today.

Congress Now Not Even Bothering to Name the Bills They Pass

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Thanks to CATO’s Jim Harper, we discover that the slovenly work of Obama’s Congress is so bad that they are now passing bills that they haven’t even bothered to name. It’s been bad enough that the Democrats have affixed to bills names that are entirely Orwellian in nature, but now they aren’t even bothering to […]
