First It Was “Kennedy’s Seat.” Is “Murtha’s Seat” Next?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Things are looking up for Tim Burns, whom : I interviewed a couple of weeks ago. As you may remember, Tim Burns is going up against Mark Critz, John Murtha’s former:  Chief of:  Staff, in a May 18th special election. Murtha’s old district is +5 Democratic, but that’s a bit deceptive since the Democrats there are […]

 

Could Illegal Immigration Solve Our Problems With Social Security And Medicare? Ehr…No.

Posted on by John Hawkins

Robert Reich is making the argument that if we want to keep Medicare and Social Security solvent, all we need to do is give American citizenship to the illegals: This is where immigration comes in. Most immigrants are young because the impoverished countries they come from are demographically the opposite of rich countries. Rather than […]

Obama’s Foreign Policy: Cushy Photo Ops, Forget Those Pesky Human Rights

Posted on by William Teach

President Obama is apparently fast becoming the Megan Fox of the political world.

Nanny State Becomes Wet Nurse State

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Democrats have long been creepily obsessed with my fancy womb and it’s “reproductive rights”, all as just a way to mask the furthering of their own agendas. They have now moved on to being obsessed with my boobies as well. More goodies hidden in the health care bill have been exposed, literally: Nursing mothers will […]

 

FBI Had File on Obama’s Radical Grandfather

Posted on by Dave Blount

Sooner or later, the sordid truth about the cesspool that spawned Barack Obama will seep through the mainstream media’s blockade. We know that Obama was a red diaper baby, and that his mentor as a child was the child-molesting, drug-dealing communist Frank Marshall Davis. So radical was Davis that the FBI had him on a […]

 

Unions’ Big Shift to Government

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Unionism is failing miserably in this age of a greater world market and an increase in competition for business across the globe.

Sweet, Sweet Irony: Health Care Bill Strips Congress of Coverage

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

My belly hurts from laughter! (is that covered, by the way?) Gee, Nancy Pelosi, that whole “we have to pass the bill before you can see what’s in it” deal isn’t working out too well, is it? What’s worse is that the New York Times, of all places, had to be the one to point […]

 

Obama’s Assault on Non-Union Businesses

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Donald Lambro has a great piece discussing the new rules that Obama wants to impose on every single business in America that derives even the tiniest part of its income from the federal government.

Congress’ Health Care Oversight May Hurt Their Own Coverage?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Has a group ever more richly deserved this irony?

Hey, Maybe Congress Should Have Read The Bill First After All

Posted on by William Teach

The New York Times (I will no longer refer to them as the F*sh Wrap, as that brings massive trackback spam) publishes a story that should have been in the humor section, rather than page A13 of the NY Edition: Baffled by Health Plan? So Are Some Lawmakers It is often said that the new […]

 

The Welfare Mentality: British Style

Posted on by John Hawkins

Sure, this example is from Britain, which is further down the road to Obamaworld than we are, but the mentality is the same. When you read this story, what you’re reading is the future that liberalism will create in this country if people like Obama, Pelosi, and Reid get their way: The Davey family’s :£815-a-week […]

Posted on by Cat Corben

Every day is an adventure in the Obama-nation. On Monday, the United States opened the nuclear summit with almost 50 participating countries with President Obama greeting each country’s leader.

Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher’s Smear on the Tea Party Movement

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

Ok, I’ve had it with the left and the media trying to paint the Tea Party as racist. I know it kills you guys that we aren’t racist, but we are not. There hundreds of thousands of us. Are there a few kooks in the mix? Sure. Just as there are in the Democratic party […]

 

John Boehner, Please Take My Advice!

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

Two years ago I interviewed Sen. John Cornyn at the Capitol. I asked him why we let Democrats control the health care debate (and this was long before the current debate). I said that Republicans should start talking about it right away and take control of the narrative. Cornyn didn’t heed my advice obviously, so […]

 

Clinton’s Legacy For The Children: The Clinton-Lewinsky Effect

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

It seems that President Clinton’s legacy involves a bit more than tired cigar jokes and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. CBS News reports: Most young adults agree penile-vaginal intercourse is sex, but less than one in five think that oral-genital contact counts as “having sex,” according to a 2007 survey of undergraduate college students. This […]

Ecomoonbattery Threatens Los Angeles With Insolvency

Posted on by Dave Blount

A property tax take even larger than was expected has given Los Angeles a brief reprieve, but bankruptcy still looms in the near future of the country’s second largest city as a direct result of the environmentally correct but economically insane decrees of California’s moonbat rulers.

Obama Responds to Unemployment With More Green Cards

Posted on by Dave Blount

The ultimate objective of every Democrat policy is to increase the power of government, correspondingly lessening the autonomy of the individual. A favored means of accomplishing this is through liberalism’s main secondary objective: pushing the unemployment rate as high as possible. An employed American, like an armed American, isn’t helpless enough for the State’s liking. […]

On a panel talking about immigration on April 6, 2010, union chief Gerry Hudson of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) said that his white union members are “so fuc_ing rabidly racist” that is scares him.
