Anti-War Hiroshima A-Bomb Book Caught With Multiple Fictions

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

When it debuted the left instantly hailed it as an anti-war masterpiece. The book “The Last Train from Hiroshima,” a popular history of the WWII A-Bomb drops on Japan, quickly accumulated much acclaim. This was “gleaming” wartime history according to The New York Times. It was so poignant and solemn that moviemaker James Camereon was […]

 

Stop Your Disingenuous Whining About The Filibuster, Liberals

Posted on by John Hawkins

It’s hilarious to see liberals complaining that they’re helpless to pass any legislation because they only have 254 Democrats in the House, 59 senators, and the presidency. Wah, cry me a river, you whiny little crybabies. Speaking of whiny crybabies, here’s Steve Benen from Washington Monthly sobbing about the GOP’s use of the filibusters. Try […]

 

Obama Told to Lay Off the Drinking and Smoking

Posted on by Dave Blount

If you don’t think it’s alarming that the President of the United States is a left-wing community organizer with no serious qualifications who has spent his entire life surrounded by anti-American communist nutjobs, what if you were to learn that the president is a left-wing community organizer with no serious qualifications who has spent his […]

 

Support for Obama Erodes Even on the Left

Posted on by Dave Blount

W’s approval rating did not crash through the floor — rendering him ineffective as a president — because liberals didn’t like him. They had hated him from the start for denying Prince Albert the crown. It all came crashing down for Bush when his own conservative base turned against him due to his big spending […]

 

Live from Haiti: Tuesday morning in Jacmel.

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

Crossposted from tabithahale.com As I said a couple hours ago, we headed to Sisters of Charity — a Catholic orphanage in Jacmel. The babies there, predictably, broke my heart. There were children that had to be at least 2 and a half years old… who don’t really walk. Babies that are two, that look like […]

 

Election Of Obama Reduces U.S. Shark Attacks

Posted on by William Teach

Not only did he lower the seas and heal the Earth, but, wow, I must say, wow The not-so-good news for swimmers: shark attacks worldwide rose marginally in 2009. But the brighter news for those splashing into American waters is that attacks off U.S. shores plummeted more than 30 percent. In 2009, there were 61 […]

 

CST: Guess What Didn’t Kill the Golden Toad

Posted on by William Teach

Yet another bite taken out of the climate alarmists theories religion The golden toad was last seen in 1989 in the Costa Rican cloud forest of Monteverde–and 5 years later, its disappearance was the first extinction to be blamed on humanmade global warming. New evidence, however, suggests that humans may not have been at fault […]

 

Global Warming Demented Parents Shoot Own Kids, Commit Suicide

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Argentine parents Francisco Lotero, 56, and Miriam Coletti, 23, were so worried about global warming that they decided to kill themselves and their children to avoid the calamity. It is surprising that this is the first suicide pact we’ve heard of connected to globaloney as the way the left carries on about this faux disaster […]

 

An Acorn is Not Equal To A Fetus

Posted on by Duane Lester

A writer for the Chicago Sun-Times, Neil Steinberg, has a problem with anti-abortion legislators refusing to allow the health care bill to go forward with language that makes tax dollars available for abortions. Hard to believe, I know. In order to illustrate his disdain with the opponents of the health care bill, Steinberg decides to […]

 

Live From Haiti: First impressions of Jacmel, and the boy in the blue sweatshirt.

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

Crossposted from TabithaHale.com I got to Jacmel today. We left Miami early this morning and flew in to Port au Prince. I’m not sure what I expected — but the scene at the airport was crazy. I was told that it wasn’t all that different from normal. The gates were completely swamped with people — […]

 

VIDEO: Four Key Minutes from Obama’s Failed Healthcare Summit

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A great video from the Heritage Foundation that shows how the Republicans really made Obama look the fool at his healthcare summit last week. My favorite is Louise Slaughter (D, NY) who was all upset that a women in here district was “wearing her dead sister’s teeth” because the woman could not afford dental care. […]

 

Using the System FOR Us: The Freedom Force Strategy

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The National Precinct Alliance is an effort to give tea party folks the guidance to make a difference at home, within their own local political system. This is the only way that we conservatives can influence what is happening in our state government and what is happening in Washington. All our tea party protests are […]

 

Unemployed Form Union

Posted on by Dave Blount

Great news for liberals from the progressive fever swamp known as AlterNet — just because you don’t even pretend to do any work doesn’t mean you can’t join a union: [A] union for the unemployed has come into existence through an ingenious grassroots organizing campaign. In case you haven’t heard about it, the union’s name […]

 

Real Reason for Beer Summits Discovered

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Turns out, not only was Obama told to stop smoking (meaning he still does. Which only bothers me due to his rank hypocrisy) but the man who fancies himself a health expert and everyone’s doctor was also told to “moderate his alcohol intake.” Besides wondering just how much he does drink that he needs to […]

 

Obama Signals British That They Aren’t So Special

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama, it was claimed, would “repair” our reputation both with our enemies and our friends. So how has he done? Let’s take Britain for example. Has he “fixed” our special relationship with the British Isles? Well, if by fixed you mean he has fastened that relationship to a negative track, well then “fixed” it […]

 

AP: Unions Stymied Under Obama?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Associated Press posted a story lamenting that Big Labor has failed so far to get Obama to heel by their commands. Big Labor has said “jump” and Obama has but skipped. The article is correct, though, that Big Labor has failed in its two biggest goals: socialist healthcare and card check. At least, they’ve […]

 

Global Warming Alarmism Cult Prompts Murder-Suicide

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

The Global Warming cult scored its first known Kool-aid moment this weekend. From the UK Daily Mail: A seven-month-old baby girl survived three days alone with a bullet in her chest beside the bodies of her parents and toddler brother. Argentines Francisco Lotero, 56, and Miriam Coletti, 23, shot their children before killing themselves after […]

 

Yes, President Obama Is A Smoking Hypocrite

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

There’s lots of hang-wringing over whether the President’s cancer sticks make him look hypocritical about the government health care he’s trying to ram through Congress so he looks useful. Quite simply: he’s a hypocrite in the leftist usage of the term. Technically, being a hypocrite is saying that something is bad (i.e. smoking), but not […]

 

Bush Says He Won’t Criticize Obama, As It’s Just Too Easy

Posted on by William Teach

Alright, OK, he didn’t say that last part, but, for good or bad, President Bush 43 shows exactly why folks on the Right supported him even in light of his Democrat-lite domestic agenda: he’s a classy guy who doesn’t play the blame game FORT WORTH, Texas | Former President George W. Bush turned to his […]

 

In Gun Case, Washington Post Rewrites Intent Of Bill Of Rights

Posted on by William Teach

If there is any document out there that is more annoying to people on the Left, it is the Bill of Rights. To them, it is something to be used when it serves their purposes, and denigrated or ignored when it hurts their radical agenda. They read “rights” into it that are not there, and […]

 

Slut TV: Feminists Mute, But We Have Them to Blame for It

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Feminists are mute on Slut TV, but we have them to thank for it. Perhaps thank is the wrong word; we have Feminists to blame for the influx of Slut TV. Yet, their silence regarding the same is deafening. Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Rock of Love, The Bad Girls Club, even Mtv’s The Real World, all epitomize the very worst in female degradation and show just how much damage the “sexual empowerment” fallacy, pushed by the Feminists, has caused. Okay, so maybe we should thank them for that; we are now seeing proof of their agenda driven theories failing in practice.

 

The Best Quotes From Thomas Sowell’s “The Housing Boom And Bust.”

Posted on by John Hawkins

If you want an excellent, in depth explanation of what caused the housing bust that led to our country’s recent recession, I’d highly recommend Thomas Sowell’s The Housing Boom and Bust. It’s easy to understand, packed with great research, and features Sowell’s clear no-nonsense writing style. Here are the quotes that caught my eye from […]

 

Jim Bunning’s Finest Hour In The Senate And If Democrats Don’t Like It, “Tough Sh*t”

Posted on by John Hawkins

Jim Bunning’s not running for reelection this year. His poll numbers were terrible, he couldn’t raise any money, and he was pressured into not running again, lest he lose a seat the GOP could easily retain. Honestly, it was the right call. However, it’s still a shame because Jim Bunning had his finest moment as […]
