Even though he made over 300 thousand dollars : last : year and knew that people would see his tax returns, Joe Biden gave very little money to charity last year, Vice President Joseph R.

This Week In Quotes: April 16 – April 22

Posted on by John Hawkins

I miss the swaggering cowboy. He may have been tongue-tied; he may have screwed up with an errant backrub, but the didn’t boy to royalty, he didn’t give embarrassing gifts to allies, he didn’t show the Dalai Lama the back door. He never said to a visiting ally (paraphrased) “I’m gonna go have dinner with […]

Happy Friday! I bet you never knew this about Dear Leader, vis a vis space exploration “The bottom line is, nobody is more committed to manned spaceflight, to human exploration of space than I am,” he said in a speech to about 200 attendees of a White House-sponsored space conference here. There’s probably a joke […]

 

The April 15, 2010 Myrtle Beach Tea Party (W/ 13 Pics + Video And Text Of My Speech)

Posted on by John Hawkins

Yesterday, I attended the Myrtle Beach Tea Party. It’s the third one I’ve been to and the crowd looked even bigger than before. Although I’m terrible with crowd estimates, I’d say 400-500 people were there over the course of the afternoon. That may not sound like a lot of people, but Myrtle Beach only has […]

 

Gosh Darn it… The Assoc. Press is all Mad at Me (Update on NJ School Cross-Dressing Day)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I hate it when the Old Media gets all mad at me, and stuff. But, here is the vaunted AP scolding me for “skewering” a grade school over the story of the canceled cross-dressing day that was to be held at the Maude Wilkins School in New Jersey. On the morning of April 12 I […]

 

Obama: Being A Superpower Ain’t All That

Posted on by William Teach

Just another case where Obama shows his disdain for American exceptionalism In a little-noticed remark at the close of the two-day nuclear security summit in Washington, D.C., this week, President Obama suggested the United States was somehow burdened by its military might. Being a superpower ain’t all that, at least according to President Obama. In […]

 

Senate Dems Prepare to Sneak Through Tax & Charade

Posted on by Dave Blount

The coup de grâce to our capitalist economy, Cap & Trade, has gone under the radar, but is still in play.

Maureen Dowd: A Degraded State of Intelligent Discourse

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I don’t write about Maureen Dowd simply because she rarely offers anything worthy of serious, intellectual discussion. I don’t claim any sort of high intellect for myself, of course, and don’t necessarily claim to be able to thoroughly judge the work of the deepest of thinkers but Dowd’s work is like the old saying about […]

 

Race Baiting at Philly Tea-Party: Anti-Tea Party Democrats No Better than Fred Phelps?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On March 6, former George H. W. Bush speechwriter Michael Johns was speaking before a tea party gathering in Philadelphia when someone from the audience took exception to the fact that during his address he did not say “President Obama” but merely called him Mr. Obama. The heckler screamed a racial slur at Mr. Johns […]

 

More Jobless Claims: Obama Administration & Press [But That’s Redundant] Flummoxed By “Unexpected” Economic News

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Okay, I might have made up that last part. It’s true, though, the jobless claims have gone up again. My prediction? They’ll continue to go up for a while, unfortunately. If gas prices inflate (and they will), costs to employers inflate across the board. Makes it tough to hire more people. Here’s the deal: In […]

It’s Tax Day! Your Taxes, Their Spending

Posted on by Ericka Andersen

It’s Tax Day — you know what means: President Obama is out touting how he’s “saved” you money, which is laughable. It’s been a year of record spending, topped off with the passage of government-run health care. The House Republican Conference debuted this video yesterday, just in time for Tax Day: “Your Taxes, Their Spending”:

An Interview With Anti-Rudeness Ninja, Amy Alkon

Posted on by John Hawkins

I read and enjoyed Amy Alkon’s book, I See Rude People: One woman’s battle to beat some manners into impolite society. The book was funny, gave me a new way of looking at rudeness, and Amy’s relentless desire to confront the rude was intriguing. In fact, you could say that Amy Alkon is the first […]

 

Feminists Rejoice At Idea of Abortion For Convenience

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Feminists rejoice at the idea of abortion for convenience. They are also anti-woman. Most of us realize that the whole “safe, legal and rare” thing that pro-abortion advocates spout is lip service only. But, if you ever had any doubt, this should set that doubt aside once and for all. John Hawkins at Right Wing […]

The Geico Guy Goes Psycho: Calls Freedom Works And Tea Partiers “Mentally Retarded”

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Dude. He’s a voice actor aka an actor, which is nearly automatically a sign of instability, but really, a recorded phone call? How stupid can you be? Wouldn’t a person want to hide their identity when making a politically incorrect call? Not if you’re a liberal. Go to Big Government to listen.

Obama and His Administration Lament America’s Superpower Status

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Yesterday at his nuclear conference, Obama said the following (via Gateway Pundit): “Whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower.” Whether we like it or not. That’s like what Mommies say when telling you to eat your yucky vegetables. Would he prefer that we be vulnerable and weak? Heck of an […]

 

Obamunist Mediocrity Imposed on Space Program

Posted on by Dave Blount

At least Comrade Obama’s NASA plans are consistent with his other objectives. As in all other areas, he is imposing mediocrity. Take it from former astronauts Neil Armstrong, James Lovell, and Eugene Cernan: The United States entered into the challenge of space exploration under President Eisenhower’s first term, however, it was the Soviet Union who […]

 

Obama’s Back Alley Healthcare

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For decades abortion supporters argued that restrictions on abortion would cause women to die in unsafe “back alley abortions” all across the land. This scare tactic was a mantra that seemed to work quite well to spread abortions throughout the states and helped spur the Supreme Court to penumbra its way to a pseudo Constitutional […]

 

ObamaCare to Hike Taxes on Middle Class by $3.9 Billion

Posted on by Dave Blount

Remember the incessant pledges from Comrade Obama that the Middle Class would see absolutely no tax increases if he took power? Remember how 95% of Americans were going to get a tax cut?

Abortion: Safe, Legal, And…Oh, Who Am I Kidding, Kill It, Kill It!

Posted on by John Hawkins

When conservatives point out that liberals believe in killing children for convenience sake, what do liberals usually say? Typically, it’s some variation of, “Why, nobody wants more abortions. We just believe that abortions should be safe, legal, and rare!” Of course, then they follow that up by trying to make sure that as many children […]

 

Perhaps You Too Can Order U.S. Census Gear From China

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama is all about saving money, ya know? Why he’s so serious about cutting costs that he’s outsourced to China, Haiti and Bangladesh the manufacture of t-shirts, caps, pens, and other bric-a-brac for the U.S. Census. Yes, in this day where America is losing thousands of jobs on almost a minute-to-minute basis, Barack Obama […]

 

Here’s a Leftist Spin on Healthcare For You

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said that Obamacare is a ”momentous step toward comprehensive health care.” Implicit in that statement is that Obamacare isn’t finished and the left fully intends to up the ante even more as time goes on. But that isn’t the spin I announced in my headline. Here is something from the AFL-CIONowBlog […]
