Is Obama Listening To The Wrong People or Not Listening At All? (Updated!)

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

Part of Obama’s appeal was his intelligence. I may have thought him wrong on the issues, but still intelligent. I am starting to question that. Rasmussen’s latest daily poll shows Obama now at 43% approval, with 56% disapproving, the lowest figures of his presidency. It took Pres. George Bush almost six years to get to […]

 

Nancy Pelosi’s ‘Tell’

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Nancy Pelosi proves that it is possible to give “tells”, even if your face can’t move and you are an accomplished liar. First, the “she made an utter fool of herself” part, because any chance to point and snicker at Pelosi is A-Okay with me. While giving a speech to the National Association of Counties, […]

 

Procedure Could Undo Dem Dreams

Via Bill Dupray this from the New York Times: The White House and Democratic Congressional leaders said Tuesday that they were bracing for a key procedural ruling that could complicate their effort to approve major health care legislation, by requiring President Obama to […]

 

No, Republicans Wouldn’t Repeal Health Care Reform

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

One of the most maddening arguments from overly-optimistic friends of mine goes like this: Even if the Democrats pass health care reform, Republicans can run against it and say they’d repeal it and then look like heroes when they do it. The only problem with this flawed logic? The veto pen of Barack Obama for […]

Dear America, Admit That You’re Stupid! Love, Nancy

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The founding fathers debated bills for weeks. They then wrote them, referred them to committee’s of style and prose, brought them back to the floor, debated them again, wrote newspaper articles about them, went home to their districts to discuss them, and finally passed them — or not — after much deliberation. Today’s Speaker of […]

 

What is a ‘Religious Extremist’? This Lefty Weekly Sure Doesn’t Know

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston For the Independent Weekly of Durham, North Carolina, writer Sam Wardle proves that he hasn’t a clue how the phrase “religious extremist” is properly defined. But, I’d suggest that his confusion is endemic in the far left and proves to show why so many in the west don’t understand how to […]

Europeans Ready to Stick a Fork in Obama

Posted on by Dave Blount

Hopey Change didn’t have much of a shelf life. In Europe, they’re already writing the Moonbat Messiah’s political epitaph: The descent of Barack Obama’s regime, characterised now by factionalism in the Democratic Party and talk of his being set to emulate Jimmy Carter as a one-term president, has been swift and precipitate. It was just […]

 

5 Ways Liberals Misjudge the American People

Posted on by John Hawkins

“The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.” — Ronald Reagan One of the reasons liberals tend to do such an incredibly poor job of governing is that they fundamentally misunderstand the nature of the American people. Given that liberals also fundamentally […]

 

‘Walmart Hippies’ and Other Dumb Establishment Theories

Posted on by Doubleplusundead

David Brooks is always fun to kick around, so let the fun begin.:  Brooks is another one of these columnists who has run with this, “Tea Partiers are just wingnutty versions of hippies, why, they’re no conservatives at all!” idea.:  Oh, sure, there are some small similarities with the New Left, but the idea that […]

 

Tuesday Debate: Are National Worker ID Cards A Good Idea?

Posted on by William Teach

Would you be surprised to learn that Linsdey Graham is working with Chuck Schumer to push this idea? Lawmakers working to craft a new comprehensive immigration bill have settled on a way to prevent employers from hiring illegal immigrants: a national biometric identification card all American workers would eventually be required to obtain.

Geert Wilders: Text Of The Speech You Didn’t Hear Anywhere

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

You won’t hear this speech anywhere in the news, so I’m including the Netherland’s Geert Wilder’s speech to the House of Lords in England for your perusal here.

Majority Think Obama And Dems Harming America’s World Standing

Posted on by William Teach

How can this be? What with all the bowing Obama’s engaged in and talking with enemy regimes and giving the Queen of England a cool iPod with his own photos and vids, how can this happen? Heck, Barry was given a Nobel Peace Prize! A majority of Americans say the United States is less respected […]

 

John Cornyn: Guess The Base Was Right About Charlie Crist After All

Posted on by John Hawkins

Time and time again, the conservative base has asked the Republican establishment to stay out of competitive primaries. They don’t listen to us. Know why? Because they’re Beltway dumb. No matter how many Arlen Specters, Harriet Miers picks for the SCOTUS, or illegal immigration disasters they maneuver themselves into over the protests of the base, […]

 

Liz Cheney Was Right About The Al-Qaeda Seven At The DOJ

Posted on by John Hawkins

Liz Cheney has made an issue of the fact that the Department of Justice has hired a number of lawyers who’ve defended Al-Qaeda. Predictably, liberals and some conservative lawyers have gotten upset with Cheney. What’s the conservative lawyers’ beef?

Government Health Care Is Not About Health Care; It’s About Government

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

“Government Health Care is not about health care; It’s about Government.” So reads the last line of Mark Steyn’s latest brilliant article, which I strongly suggest that everyone read. He’s right, of course, but I’d go even a step further. It’s not just about government, it’s about a mindset and a freedom-squashed way of life. […]
