This Week In Quotes: Aug 6 – Aug 11

Posted on by John Hawkins

The vaunted Obama economic stimulus, at $862 billion, has failed. The “progressives” want to double down, and were they to have their way, would have pushed for a bigger stimulus still. But the American people are in open rebellion against an economic strategy of public debt, higher taxes and unending deficits. We’re not all Keynesians, […]

 

You Remember The Notorious Willie Horton Ad?

Posted on by John Hawkins

You remember the notorious Willie Horton Ad? Of course, Democrats hated it, called it racist, etc., etc., but the real problem they had with it was that it was EXTREMELY effective.

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.

Is the U.S. Department of the Treasury undertaking a new role?

Today, Treasury released this statement: Treasury Department Statement Marking the Beginning of Ramadan WASHINGTON […]

 

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

Posted on by Renee Ellmers

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. In every way these mailings resembled typical campaign ads, except they were paid for by taxpayers and not by […]

 

Why Are Liberals So Ashamed Of What They’ve Done Since Obama Got Into Office?

Story after story like this one keep popping up in the news, Polls show the public knows Democratic policies have hurt the country.

Taxpayer Funds Send Ground Zero Mosque Imam on Fundraising Tour

Posted on by Dave Blount

In case paving the way for a gigantic mosque at Ground Zero doesn’t curry sufficient favor with Muslims, our rulers are spending our money to send the Victory Mosque imam on a Middle East junket that will at least indirectly involve fundraising for the 13-story stick they are jabbing in America’s eye: The imam behind […]

 

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 […]

 

FBI Investigates You: National Security Letter: No Warrant, No Probable Cause, And No Way For You To Talk About It

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Here is the number that I find downright dismaying: Over 200,000 National Security Letters have been sent–all of them with gag orders. 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. But their definition of problems (over taxing, spending like crazy, pointless wars) have all be exceeded by President Obama. President Obama’s unfavorable rating is […]

 

Ground Zero Mosque Update: Has The Worm Started To Turn?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Pamela Geller & Robert Spencer deserve credit for being on point in the fight against the mosque at Ground Zero. They were first out of the gates and of course, the pioneers get hit with most of the arrows. Both of them were unfairly attacked, maligned, and pilloried as racists, bigots, and generally horrible people […]

 

Wednesday Awesome: A Round-Up Of Liberal Bloggers Eviscerating Robert Gibbs For Taking A Shot At Them

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 […]

 

Ad With Burning WTC Opposing Ground Zero Mosque Approved For NYC Buses

Posted on by William Teach

Well, this certainly won’t build the kind of dialogue that the WTC Imam wants. Oh, well, face it, liberals, Islam is responsible for the majority of world wide terrorism (Via NBC NY, which was the first media source I could find that actually had the graphic. Most of the others, including the NY Times, were […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Recently the L.A. Times reported that the White House warned Democrat incumbents to avoid talking about the Party’s “accomplishments” as they campaign for office this year.

Win The Lottery, Work for the Government

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It’s settled. People that play the lottery should lay down their scratchoff coins and take up an employment application to work for the government. After all, winning the lottery is a one-in-a-million proposition but if you get a job with the government your hitting the lottery seems to be a sure thing. USA Today is […]

 

Oh, Noes, There’s A Minaret In The GOP Convention Logo!

Portia de Rossi Takes Her Hus – , Er, Wife’s, Name

Posted on by Donald Douglas

I’m missing something. Either that, or Portia de Rossi’s gone badly off the radical feminist reservation: If you take your husband’s name, you must be dependent and incompetent. If you don’t, of course, you’re a ball-busting feminist – or that even more pitiable creature, someone without a husband at all. And, in most cases, you […]
