DOJ Clears Bush Lawyers On Torture, Left Apoplectic

Posted on by William Teach

I was going to use the CNN article I ran across last night, based on the Friday night doc dump, but, hey, let’s go with the Washington Post one linked through Memeorandum, since there are plenty of links to lefties in their typical unhinged modes (there is also a NY Times and NPR article cited) […]

 

CPAC and GOPride

Posted on by Sharon Soon

Last month, conservative college Liberty University announced that it would withdraw its sponsorship of CPAC 2010 because GOProud, a pro-gay Republican offshoot from the Log Cabin Republicans, was also allowed to co-sponsor the event: Liberty University chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr., and Liberty Law School dean Mat Staver had penned a letter to CPAC organizer David […]

 

Mike Pence on Running for Higher Office: We’ll See What the Future Holds

Posted on by Sharon Soon

Indiana Congressman Mike Pence, who has been a CPAC regular but whose popularity has skyrocketed since Obama’s has declined, was kind enough to visit the blogger’s lounge this afternoon to take questions. Unsurpringly, the only thing anyone seemed interested in asking today was about whether the Congressman would be running for another office. President in […]

 

Michelle Bachmann: Obama Has Chosen Decline for America

Posted on by Sharon Soon

The lovely Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is star quality on every level, minus the diva attitude. Walking onto stage to the tune of “She’s a Lady,” (take that, cranky Arlen Specter), Bachmann was quick to remind the audience that it was her state that put up the “Miss Me Yet?” billboard that quickly became a hit […]

 

Live at CPAC

Posted on by Sharon Soon

You’ve probably heard already, but this year’s CPAC 2010 (Conservative Political Action Conference) is the largest, most highly attended in its history. It seems apparent that the Obama Administration has succeeded in doing what we’ve actually been trying to do for years: rallying and activating freedom-loving Americans together en masse. Thank you, Mr. President. As […]

 

Longtime Dem Consultant Torpedoed by Union Thugs

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In Democrat political consulting circles Pat Caddell is a big name. One-time adviser to President Jimmy Carter and longtime political strategist for the left, Caddell isn’t someone you throw off a campaign easily. But the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) doesn’t care about past success. It only cares about its power. After being thrown off […]

 

Obama’s New Name For Iraq War

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The indispensible Jake Tapper of ABC News is reporting that the Obama Administration is about to rename the Iraq war from “Operation Iraqi Freedom” to “Operation New Dawn.” Gates writes that by changing the name at the same time as the change of mission — the scheduled withdrawal of U.S. combat troops — the US […]

 

Was the Austin plane-crasher a terrorist?

Posted on by TrogloPundit

Joseph Stack flew an airplane into an office building, killing himself and at least one other person, because of his years-old anger and frustration with the government, or so he wrote. So is it terrorism? Well, that depends. The act itself isn’t enough to make it terrorism. Otherwise, every violent act could be tagged that […]

 

Global Warming Belief Really IS A Religion: Now With Miracles!

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

The Environmental (mental being the operative word) Left, in their embracing of the hoax commonly known as Global Warming â„¢, have irrefutably become what they always sneer at: Religious. Or, as they prefer to call it “magical belief systems”. Because, if the following isn’t magic, then I don’t know what is. Gateway Pundit reminds us […]

 

Collapsing Science Today: Climate Alarmists In Denial

Posted on by William Teach

Poor babies. They have truly lost their way. They say they are interested in the science, but, alas, they are too wrapped up in their failed notion that mankind is mostly or solely the cause of the warming trend that started at the end of the Little Ice Age, and are unable to come to […]

 

Iraq War To Be Renamed, We Can All Thank George Bush For Staying Strong

Posted on by William Teach

Jake Tapper has an exclusive regarding the renaming of Operation Iraqi Freedom, which, perhaps, should be renamed “Operation Bush Was Right” ABC News has learned that the Obama administration has decided to give the war in Iraq — currently known as Operation Iraqi Freedom — a new name. The new name: “Operation New Dawn.” In […]

 

VIDEO – Assault Breacher Vehicle

Posted on by Donald Douglas

Via John Hawkins and Linkiest (and also Prairie Pundit), I just found this video, “Assault Breacher Vehicle”: This is something else! For more information, see the Los Angeles Times, “Marine Assault Vehicles Key to Afghan Strategy.” Technical details at Jane’s Defense Weekly: For the ABV role, the turret of the M1A1 Abrams MBT has been […]

 

The other 79% are too stunned to come up with a snarky headline.

Posted on by TrogloPundit

Rasmussen: Only 21% Say U.S. Government Has Consent of the Governed: The founding document of the United States, the Declaration of Independence, states that governments derive “their just powers from the consent of the governed.” Today, however, just 21% of voters nationwide believe that the federal government enjoys the consent of the governed. A new […]

 

Americans want a Free Tibet, and none of that having to buy one first, either!

Posted on by TrogloPundit

If Barack Obama wants a way to get back in the good with a majority of Americans, maybe he should aim the troops toward Tibet: Washington (CNN) — Nearly three-quarters of all Americans think Tibet should be an independent country, according to a new national poll. Or maybe not: However, the CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey […]

 

Photojournalist Mad at RightWeb’s Use of His Photo

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A photojournalist from the St. Petersburg Times in Florida is very upset at you people. He wants you all to know that you should be ashamed of yourselves for misusing his photo. Ed Fountain is the photog that took the famous picture that the right-o-sphere guffawed at a few weeks ago showing President Obama strangely […]

 

Union Admits Buying Politician, Wants $ Back

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

When an average citizen donates money to a politician it is usually because that citizen believes in the politician and wants to help him have the war chest to conduct a campaign. Unions like to pretend that they donate to politicians out of the goodness of their hearts, just like common citizens do. Everyone knows, […]

 

Congress Moves to Impose Homosexual Brainwashing of Children

Posted on by Dave Blount

Situating a perverted creep like Kevin Jennings as the “Safe Schools Czar” is only the first step in bringing Hopey Change to primary education. Next, our liberal rulers need to pass the proper legislation to support the indoctrination of small children with homosexual propaganda. This legislation is known as HR 4530. The ostensible purpose is […]

 

Stimulus working? Not when it comes to thinking.

Posted on by Ron Coleman

My friend Aziz Poonawalla, via: Insty who, interestingly, links to the story guilelessly (I can’t buy a link these days—should I get a turban?),: lays it right out: Today is the one-year anniversary of the landmark stimulus bill which most economists agree has staved off a second Great Depression. The evidence that the stimulus has worked is […]

 

In Malaysia, Men And Women Caned For Sex Out Of Wedlock

Posted on by William Teach

One would hope that this story would be an eye-opener to all those liberals and dhimmis who think we can actually have a rational conversation and mutual respect with those who are pushing the radical Islamic viewpoint. Sadly, when it comes to human rights and women’s rights in hard line Muslim countries, all these left […]

 

Spotlight on Leftist Feminist Thinking: Don’t Acknowledge Fetuses!

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Apparently, the mere acknowledgment of a fetus is a big no-no to some militant Feminists. Enough of a no-no, that one had to post about it in the community forum of Feministing.com, a hot bed of predictable Feminist shrieking and cognitive dissonance. A Yahoo sportswriter committed the horrid politically incorrect faux-pas of writing the following […]

 

Ezra Klein Trots Out The Left’s Best Argument Against Cross-State Insurance

Posted on by William Teach

By best, what is meant is a sad, lame, ridiculous, pathetic, weak, and grasping at straws argument The big Republican idea to bring down health-care costs is to “let families and businesses buy health insurance across state lines.” Jon Chait has some commentary here, but I want to simplify a little bit. Insurance is currently […]
