How Much Does President Obama Love Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton? This Much

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

I don’t believe, even now, even for an instant, that there’s any love lost between Barack Obama who sits on a mountain of cash, and his former rival, Hillary Clinton, still sunk in serious debt. So, Bill is trying to dig his wife out of her money problems: Subscribers to Clinton’s formidable e-mail list, amassed […]

 

Taxed Enough Already: USA Today & Everyone Trumpeting Low Tax Rates

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Don’t you just love the Democrat loving, not-so-concealed bias of the press? Today, they’re seen priming the pump for tax increases: Federal, state and local taxes – including income, property, sales and other taxes – consumed 9.2% of all personal income in 2009, the lowest rate since 1950, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reports. That […]

 

Comrade Obama Sends His Love to Our Troops

Posted on by Dave Blount

No one makes greater sacrifices for our country and the principles of liberty it embodies than the brave men and women of our military. In return, our liberal rulers heap scorn on them — starting from the very top. Comrade Obama’s latest Supreme Court choice — the ultra-Left’s answer to Harriet Miers — has the […]

 

Child Obesity “Crisis” Tightens the Noose

Posted on by Dave Blount

Sometimes liberals are bold, ham-fistedly commandeering whole sectors of the economy, like healthcare and the auto industry. But they may do the most damage to liberty when they attack it more insidiously, in ways too absurd to arouse our ire until we wake up to find that every conceivable aspect of our lives is dictated […]

 

UN’s Haiti Recovery Budget Wasted Mostly on UN Operatives’ Paychecks

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In another perfect example of why the United Nations is a complete waste of time and should be eliminated as useless, news has emerged that the UN’s $732.4 million Haitian relief budget is being wasted mostly on paychecks for UN personnel instead of going to actually help anyone in earthquake ravaged Haiti. According to reports, […]

Seven Places Where Politics Doesn’t Belong

Posted on by John Hawkins

Politics in America is a vicious, ugly bloodsport filled with lies, unpleasantness, and crudity. That’s a big part of the reason why so many Americans desperately avoid discussing politics. Unfortunately, because manners are in short supply, particularly on the Left, it has become more and more difficult for people to escape raw politics in their […]

 

America’s Toughest Border Warrior: John McCain?

Posted on by John Hawkins

This may be the single funniest campaign commercial I’ve ever seen, Yes, “Amnesty” John McCain has now become the toughest man in America on border security — which is hilarious. Because, he’s the same guy who once said, “By the way, I think the fence is least effective. But I’ll build the godd@mned fence if […]

Posted on by Dave Blount

What do you know — former Halliburton subsidiary KBR really is in bed with the White House, just like the liberal media shrieked for 8 years: KBR Inc. was selected for a no-bid contract worth as much as $568 million through 2011 for military support services in Iraq, the Army said. The Injustice Department doesn’t […]

 

Oppressive Government: Feds Tell GA Old Folks They Can’t Pray Before Meals

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Big Brother says elderly visitors to federally funded meals at a Georgia senior citizen’s center aren’t allowed to pray to that absurd, dangerous Christian God of theirs.

Most Ethical Administration Evah Waives Ethics Rules… AGAIN!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I am fondly recalling those hoary days on the campaign trail when Mr. Obama was all about “transparency,” and when he promised to have the “strictest ethics rules” of any president evah! Seemingly hours later the president’s office began to waive hose “strictest” rules to allow his favorite lobbyists and lawyers to take up residence […]

 

The Left: Misogyny Apologists Under the Guise of Tolerance

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

The Left constantly claims the mantle of being Pro-Women’s Rights. Yet, they prove time and time again that it is lip service only. In fact, they are often either misogynists or misogyny apologists themselves, all in the name of some sort of:  call for a perverted version of “diversity” and “tolerance.” They’ve recently gone so […]

 

Card Check By Obama Administration Fiat

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Labor unions rolls decline and so, the Obama administration gives them a win they couldn’t get legislatively: Labor unions will have an easier time organizing workers at U.S. airline and railroad companies after the Obama administration on Monday changed a 76-year-old rule on union elections. The change is a major victory for unions that have […]

 

Obama’s SCOTUS Pick: A Military Hating Harriet Miers

Posted on by John Hawkins

Obama’s SCOTUS nominee, Elana Kagan, is like Harriet Miers in some respects. She’s a very accomplished woman, but she’s under-accomplished for a Supreme Court Justice. Kagan has never sat on the bench and she’d never even argued a case before the Supreme Court before she became Obama’s Solicitor General. Worse yet, she has some ugly […]

 

Elena Kagan: She’s Just Like Obama!–UPDATED

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Like most politically interested Americans, I’m gobbling up all I can find about Elena Kagan. And the portrait that’s emerging looks very familiar. In fact, Elena Kagan looks a lot like the man nominating her for the Supreme Court: She is young, smart, brash, inexperienced, possibly socialist, calculating, and affable. The choice says more about […]

How The First Amendment Has Been Turned On Its Head: Christians Blocked From Prayer?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Many of the pilgrims who fled to America in the first place did so because of religious persecution. With that in mind, the Founding Fathers protected our religious liberties with the First Amendment. It reads: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom […]

Posted on by William Teach

You just knew they were at least thinking about it The federal government is weighing a lawsuit to challenge Arizona’s new immigration law, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said on Sunday. “We are considering all of our options, and one of the things we are considering is filing a lawsuit,” he said on NBC’s “Meet […]

 

Liberal Fascism: The Font

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

In a way, Helvetica is the font of liberal fascism; it’s certainly the font of corporatism. To borrow from one of the concluding memes of Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism, it’s the softer authoritarian nanny state of Brave New World, not the oppressiveness militarism of 1984.
