Say, Where Are All Those “Green” Jobs?

Posted on by William Teach

Twenty years ago, “green” meant real environmental issues, such as clean air, water, and land. It meant protecting species, wise land usage, refoliation, stopping deforestation, replacing dirty with clean.

Charles M. Blow, a regular columnist for the New York Times, has taken the already despicable race narrative on the Tea Parties to another level.:  He begins with a bit of “diversity” hunting: I had specifically come to this rally because it was supposed to be especially diverse.

Obama Wants You to Sit Down and Shut Up (Video)

Posted on by Duane Lester

As I wrote at Pajamas Media, President Obama is currently on a Health Care Comedy Tour. He is addressing his myrmidons across this country and utilizing Saul Alinsky’s advice. This isn’t about logic or forming a coherent argument. This is about ridicule, “man’s most potent weapon.” Those are the words of the granddaddy of community […]

“Information wants to be free.” I must have mocked those words dozens of times on my blog. : Or a few. :  I might be counting the times I just thought that.

The National Day of Prayer: atheists welcome.

Posted on by TrogloPundit

Americans must be protected, lest our feelings be hurt. Our tender, tender feelings, and our lightly-held core beliefs. Or, at least, you’d think that: A federal court in Wisconsin decided Thursday that the country’s National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional because it calls on citizens to take part in religious activity. U.S. District Court Judge […]

Maureen Dowd’s Insanity: Being Catholic Woman The Same As Living Under Sharia Law

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Maureen Dowd, columnist for The New York Times, has finally lost that last tenuous grip she had on her sanity.

That was nothing compared […]

Union contracts are killing the U.S. Post Office, making it uncompetitive and driving costs through the roof according to the Government Accountability Office.
