Obama The Pro-Gun President?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Is President Obama a surprising gun rights supporter? He might be if the Chicago Tribune’s Steve Chapman is correct. And Chapman isn’t the only one. It seems to be shaping up to be the lefty complaint du jour this week. Reality, however, might say something different. Chapman makes a classic mistake that many people make […]

 

Democrats Don’t Trust Americans

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

My headline is a statement of fact. Democrats don’t trust Americans because they are always looking for ways to cut them out of the process. Here we have another example of that axiom proven out. Illinois State Senator James Meeks, the Reverend Meeks, parades around as a man of the community, a man of the […]

 

Moonbat Slackers Solve World’s Problems

Posted on by Dave Blount

The solution to our “key economic, social and environmental problems” turns out to be surprisingly simple, according to the British taxpayer-financed New Economics Foundation. All we have to do is stop engaging in so much productive activity. To solve inequality of outcomes between the industrious and the lazy, and to rescue the polar bears from […]

 

Harvard Race-Baiter’s Historic Handcuffs

Posted on by Dave Blount

Remember Comrade Obama’s farcical friend, Harvard’s professional race-baiter Henry Louis Gates? Police questioned Gates when he broke into his own home, resulting in a hebephrenic tantrum by the esteemed professor of victimology, whose behavior was so out of line that he had to be restrained. Chairman Zero, while admittedly not even knowing what happened, reflexively […]

 

Evan Bayh And Insert Some Clever Quip About Rats And Sinking Ships Here

Posted on by John Hawkins

Apocalypse 2010 is continuing for the Democrats as Evan Bayh has now announced his retirement. Fox News is reporting that Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) will retire in 2010, dealing a blow to Democrats’ electoral prospects for the upcoming midterms. The Democratic retirement wave has been limited mostly to the House (where more Republicans have actually […]

 

Monumental Man-Made Scientific Scandal Climategate Described As “Missteps By Scientists” By WaPo

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Could the WaPo undersell the man-made scientific disaster that is the Global Warming hoax any more? I think not. Tom Maguire takes WaPo down. As AJ Strata notes today,”I see an avalanche of bad news coming for the alarmists.” [He has a all the details, go read it.] AJ concludes: So what have we learned […]

 

Interviewing Thomas Sowell On Intellectualism

Posted on by John Hawkins

Thomas Sowell’s new book is called, Intellectuals and Society and I was pleased to have the opportunity to interview him about the book late last week. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our conversation. Enjoy! All right, and right off the bat let me ask you about a quote that showed up at […]

 

The Problem With Treating Terrorism As A Law Enforcement Issue

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

To understand the limitations of law enforcement when it comes to terrorism, it’s instructive to look at this issue on a small scale. Did you see the video of the girl getting her head kicked in my malicious teenagers in the Seattle, WA bus station? That’s distressing enough–seeing security guards watch the assault happen and […]

 

We need school control, not gun control

Posted on by Kathy Shaidle

Another day, another “school shooting.” That we Canadians have per capita almost as many of these things as Americans do — matter of fact (and fiction), we invented them, long before Columbine— we smug Canadians (and our chief enabler Michael Moore) need to finally drop the “gun control” crap. And start looking at what it […]

 

Just Because A Good Chunk Of The IPCC Is Fake, That’s No Reason To Not Believe In AGW, Right?

Posted on by William Teach

I always enjoy watching climate alarmists jump on that ride at the amusement part, the one that spins you around and around and around, especially if it is the type where the bottom drops out. Now, in an article entitled Missteps By Climate Scientists Threatens Climate Change Agenda (which rather proves that it is all […]

 

Mr. Steele and The GOP, You Are Not There Yet

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

Although Republicans far surpass Democrats in being more aligned with the Tea Party movement, I feel it’s important to remind the GOP that the anger being felt by Americans is directed at both parties for a reason. At it’s most basic level the Tea Party movement is about three things. One, a a limited constitutional […]

 

Some Democrats Want Nothing To Do With Obama

Posted on by William Teach

Remember back in the day, during the run-up to the 2006 and 2008 elections, when we were treated to a bevy of stories about Republicans not wanting George Bush to campaign with them? Well, just a mere 13 months into Obama’s presidency, and Democrats are already rebuffing The Smartest Man In The World: Some Democrats […]

 

IPCC Science Scandals Aren’t New

Posted on by Dennis Avery

CHURCHVILLE, VAKL – The UN’s climate change panel is reeling from a series of scandals about unsupported claims in its 2007 report. India has documented that the Intergovernmental Panel’s claim of Himalayan glaciers disappearing by 2035 was mere speculation–and has now been proven false. The 2007 IPCC report claimed global warming could cut rain fed […]

 

First Treacher, Now Peggy Fleming. Biden’s Motorcade Injures Fleming

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

First, they came for some random citizens that I didn’t know – and I did nothing. Then, they came for Treacher – and I said nothing (except for blogging about it and twittering some stern messages!) Next, they came for Peggy Fleming. Before they come for me, I must speak up. Joe Biden’s motorcade was […]

Come on, man.

Posted on by TrogloPundit

One of my favorite parts of ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown this year was the “Come on, man!” segment: the talking heads would highlight something stupid (or funny) from the previous week and tag whoever was responsible with that line. “Come on, man!” I’m thinking exactly that about some of my conservative brethren right now, because […]

 

Cheney to O’Biden: Before You Take Credit for Iraq, Thank Bush

Posted on by Sister Toldjah

Responding to Puff, the Magic Biden’s preposterous remarks from earlier this week in which VP Biden suggested that Iraq could be one of Obama’s “greatest achievements,” former Veep Dick Cheney didn’t pull any punches: Former Vice President Dick Cheney, in an exclusive appearance on ABC News’ “This Week,” offered a sharp critique of the Obama […]

 

Obama Administration Summed Up in One Headline

“PROMISES, PROMISES: Jobs Bill Won’t Add Many Jobs” Image courtesy Liberty Maniacs/Zazzle You know that whole “creating and saving:  jobs” thing? Let me be clear: Psyche!:  I was totally kidding! Jobs Shmobs.:  I’ve got speeches to give and face time to relentlessly score on television. And, anyway, math is hard! PROMISES, PROMISES: Jobs Bill Won’t […]

 

Google: Beyond the invisible hand

Posted on by Ron Coleman

No, it’s not all good. Years ago I wrote, : “Google is : not a utility. Or an agent of the state, or a thing that owes anyone anything except to the extent they pay for it. At least for now.” Out of nowhere comes Google Buzz. : It’s social networking that just appeared in your mailbox! : As […]

 

“The Two Cultures” 50 Years On

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

Whereas once any layman could instantly appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of say, Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Michelangelo’s David, or a great classical symphony, in the 20 century, modern art became merely an excuse for the artist and his champion critic to write a treatise explaining the work of art in the first place. But what caused art to become so insular?

 

Instead of Understanding, Liberals Feel

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

My recent flap with the extreme leftists in the comics community brought home once again the simple fact that liberals don’t understand the definitions of words, cannot think logically, and don’t have the tiniest ability to understand complex concepts. Despite their mental incapacities, though, they are sure they are smarter, more civilized, and more tolerant […]

 

How To Become a Millionaire Easy: Become a Gov’t Worker

Having trouble making ends meet? Eating your meals from a dog food can? Lost your job, seen your retirement accounts dwindle or disappear, having a hard time getting work? Millions of Americans are facing these problems. Some, however, aren’t. And those some are government workers, apparently. Unionized government workers at that. Doug Ross has a […]

 

Bus In Junkyard. Top CRU Scientist Admits “No Statistically Significant Warming” In Past 15 Years

“Conformo-Radicalism:” Strike A Pose, There’s Nothing To It

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

The politics of rebellion for its own sake in America has morphed considerably over the years. In his latest column, Mark Steyn describes the current utilitarian pose for the masses as “conformo-radical”, but to understand how it got there, let’s set the Wayback Machine for almost a century ago, when the first round of American “progressives” walked the earth.

 

Bada Bing, NJ Governor Christie: Fiscally Responsible AND a Backbone!

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I was born and raised in New Jersey; moved down to South Carolina 5 years ago. Prior to that, I lived in New Jersey my entire life. I left because it became impossible to make ends meet there, primarily due to an insanely high cost of living. That can be blamed, in part, on the […]
