Election-Tampering Mark Ritchie Associated With Communist Party USA

Posted on by Dave Blount

As the Democrat Party’s rapid descent into ultra-radicalism proves, the Cold War isn’t over by a long shot. Mark Ritchie, the Minnesota Secretary of State who took a Senate seat away from Norm Coleman and handed it to the obnoxious left-wing comedian Al Franken, is affiliated not only with Obama’s ACORN, but with the Communist […]

The Southern Poverty Law Center Is A Non-Credible, Anti-Conservative Hate Group

Posted on by John Hawkins

The Southern Poverty Law Center used to be an organization that targeted hate groups. They let people know what these groups believed, catalogued their activities, and generally kept a watchful eye on them. Today, the Southern Poverty Law Center is an organization that targets conservatives and as a sideline, also dabbles in tracking hate groups. […]

 

Now That He’s Won, Reid’s Paying Back Unions

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Harry Reid survived his brush with electoral death winning yet another term as Nevada’s Senator. Reid knows what side of his bread is buttered, too. Big Labor gave him millions in campaign donations and Reid knows who he owes — or rather who owns him. Now that he’s fairly won he’s promising his patrons in […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As the list was revealed of 111 corporations and unions that got a free pass to get out of having to suffer under Obamacare given them by their bought-and-paid-for president, we see that the teachers really got a break.

Killing Iran’s Nuclear Threat One Scientist At A Time

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

After reading through the Wikileaks stories and seeing this story, I think the spy novels we read, and the spy movies we see aren’t really that fictional. The U.S. believes that Iran is developing a nuclear warhead. Iran insists it’s all for peaceful purposes. We all know that is a lie though. This is so […]

5 Reasons The CIA Should Have Already Killed Julian Assange

Posted on by John Hawkins

Wikileaks’ deliberate disclosure of these diplomatic cables is nothing less than an attack on the national security of the United States, as well as that of dozens of other countries. By disseminating these materials, Wikileaks is putting at risk the lives and the freedom of countless Americans and non-Americans around the world. — Joe Lieberman […]

 

Prospects for Regime Change in North Korea

Posted on by Donald Douglas

At the clip below, with Donald Kirk of the Christian Science Monitor. He speaks toward the end on the extreme dangers of a military overthrow in North Korea, especially a refugee crisis. Interesting how these dangers are raised primarily in the context of outside intervention, and not in the case of an implosion of the […]

 

Is China About To Throw N. Korea Under The Bus?

Posted on by Jeff Dunetz

Finally a Wikileaks document that surprising. According to some of the leaked State Department documents, China is growing increasingly frustrated by the military antics of North Korea and and increasingly favors reunified Korea under the Government of South Korea.

HuffPo Commenters on the Oregon Bomber

Posted on by Dave Blount

Somali-born Mohamed Osman Mohamud thought he was serving Islam’s evil god by killing hundreds of innocent Americans at a Christmas tree-lighting celebration in Portland. Actually, all he was doing was walking into an FBI trap — and inspiring affection and spittle-spewing moonbattery among commenters at the largest liberal blog, Huffington Post. A few samples: MNmommy […]

 

Authorities React to Oregon Bomb Plot by Fretting About Islamophobia

Posted on by Dave Blount

In liberal Oregon, how do the authorities react to a Muslim attempt to murder hundreds of innocent families at a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony? But protecting Muslims, naturally: Patrols around mosques and other Islamic sites in Portland have been stepped up as Muslim leaders expressed fears of retribution, days after a Somali-American man was accused of […]

 

Another Sign Unions Losing Influence

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Unions in America really are under assault from every direction. Certainly they are still powerful and not to be under estimated, but unions really have lost much of the power they once had. At less than 20 percent of the work force these days, the unions that are left have been finding themselves being forced […]

 

Obamacare Forces Union to Drop Insurance for 6,000 Children

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remember how Obama said that if you liked your healthcare plan you could keep it? Apparently someone forgot to tell the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) in New York because they’ve announced that Obamacare is forcing them to drop coverage for the children of its 30,000 low-wage members. The union will be dropping coverage for […]

 

Washington Post: What’s Up With You Righties And American Exceptionalism?

Posted on by William Teach

You right wingnuts keep using that phrase, and Karen Tumulty of the Washington Post has a problem with that Is this a great country or what? “American exceptionalism” is a phrase that, until recently, was rarely heard outside the confines of think tanks, opinion journals and university history departments. But with Republicans and tea party […]

 

NY Times Hypocrisy Watch: We’ll Publish Wikileaks Info, But Not ClimateGate

Posted on by William Teach

Powerline makes an interesting observation The New York Times is participating in the dissemination of the stolen State Department cables that have been made available to it in one way or another via WikiLeaks. My friend Steve Hayward recalls that only last year the New York Times ostentatiously declined to publish or post any of […]

 

Reactions To The Wikileaks Document Dump From Around The Right Side Of The Blogosphere

Posted on by John Hawkins

It’s interesting to note, especially given that we have a Democratic President in the White House, the different reactions to the latest Wikileaks document dump. The left side of the blogosphere seems, with a few exceptions, to range from indifference to support for Wikileaks. Bloggers on the Right don’t seem to be taking it as […]

 

WikiLeaks U.S. Embassy Cables Release

Posted on by Donald Douglas

Blazing Catfur has the key headline: “Wikileaks Diplomatic Cables Released by Times, Der Spiegel.” Here’s this at NYT, “Cables Obtained by WikiLeaks Shine Light Into Secret Diplomatic Channels.” And I love this at Spiegel: “A Superpower’s View of the World.” And Doug Mataconis has a report: “Wikileaks Releases Diplomatic Cables, Revealing International Secrets.” (Via Memeorandum.)

Terrorism, Sure. Oh, but it’s ‘Not a Conspiracy’!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

How many terror attacks or attempted terror attacks have occurred on U.S. soil since 9/11? Five? Six? Ten? According to our government each and every one of these attacks, whether failed or not, have had one thing in common: “they are not part of a conspiracy.” Clearly, however, our officials are lying to us on […]

 

Illegal Alien’s Bill of Rights

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President Barack Obama will soon introduce the Undocumented Resident’s Affirmative Toleration Act (URAT) in order to protect those unfortunate minorities that didn’t win life’s lottery by being born in the U.S.A. President Obama’s compassion for these downtrodden and oppressed peoples is well known, but he wants particular attention paid to those human beings that white […]
