Remember when Florida Congressman Mark Foley was outed for sexual misconduct with male pages in the House of Representatives in 2006?

Posted on by John Hawkins

So, how much chatter are you hearing about Eric Massa today?

Message From A Senate Source To Democrats In The House: “We Will Kill Your ‘Fix'”

Posted on by John Hawkins

First off, here’s the two-step Democrats want to execute on health care: 1) The House passes the bill that has already been approved by the Senate. At that point, Obama can sign the bill and it’s the law. However, ideally they will also pass a 2nd bill via reconciliation. 2) The House and Senate pass […]

 

Use Reconciliation. Just Don’t Use The Word.

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

Obama gave his 35th speech on Health Care yesterday. He says that the country deserves and “up or down vote.” He can’t even bring himself to say “reconciliation.” Maybe that’s because in 2007 he emphatically said that they would never use it because one couldn’t govern that way. You’ve got to break out of what […]

159 Big Spending, Big Government Features of Obamacare

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

When Obama says that his Obamacare healthcare plan isn’t a big government take over of healthcare he really is simply lying outright to the nation (well, let’s be honest, it’s not really his plan because the Democrats wrote it and he had no real input into it). Here is a list of 159 new programs, […]

 

Tea Party ‘Extremists’ Take Center Stage

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The liberal media’s newest meme is to claim that the tea party movement is made up exclusively of John Birchers, militia types, racists, and “birthers.” Politico, for instance, had an extensive story about how legitimate conservatives are coming to realize that they’ll have to conduct a Buckley styled purge of the extremists if they expect […]

 

Move Over Gore, Make Way for Lindsey Graham

The Best Quotes From Eric Hoffer’s “The Passionate State of Mind.”

Posted on by John Hawkins

Eric Hoffer is one of my favorite philosophers and what you’re about to read are the quotes that caught my eye from his book, The Passionate State of Mind: And Other Aphorisms. Passions usually have their roots in that which is blemished, crippled, incomplete and insecure within us. The passionate attitude is less a response […]

 

Um, MSNBC is *Totally* Losing It: Host Screeching About Racists and Nazis

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I’m not really sure who this Dylan Ratigan is and I suspect that maybe 3 people – tops – watch his show.

Congress? Who Needs ‘Em? Let Obama Pack the Supreme Court

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Philadelphia Inquirer published a reader feedback opinion editorial from reader Stan Isaacs that is as outlandish as it is indicative of the disregard for the American process that liberals all too often exhibit. It is proof once again that tradition, law, and any effort at legitimacy is wholly outside a liberal’s field of interest. […]
