The Dicey Search For A GOP Savior: The Case Of Paul Ryan

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Desperate for an articulate spokesman, many in the GOP seem willing to accept nearly any Republican politician as long as he meets these criteria: 1. Good looking 2. Well-spoken 3. Likable While these traits are certainly nice, they’re not going to necessarily change governance much unless the inside of the person has some core conservative […]

Posted on by John Hawkins

If future generations of Americans are going to have a bright future, we’re going to have to get a handle on spending.

Posted on by McQ

A bunch of interesting polls have emerged today. One finds Obama at his lowest job performance rating yet. Of course, as you might expect, Republicans mostly disapprove of his job performance.

Our Schools Need More Money? Oh Yeah, What About Francisco Olivares?

Posted on by John Hawkins

It’s a never ending cycle in this country: You point out that the public schools are doing a lousy job, they claim to be underfunded, they’re given a lot more money, a few years later people point out that the public schools are still doing a lousy job, and the whole cycle repeats. Yet, if […]

UPDATED: The whole Sustainable Development, eco-police Audi advertisement thing. Michelle Malkin covers it. The old saying “all politics is local” is absolutely true.

Penn State Whitewashes Michael Mann

Posted on by Dave Blount

As predicted, Penn State’s investigation into con man Michael Mann — who has brought the university a fortune in taxpayer money with his provably false efforts to prop up the global warming hoax — has been nothing but a whitewash. Penn State ended a two-month probe into the work of Michael Mann, a top climate […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

** UPDATE ** BELOW Marvel Apologizes Marvel Comic’s Captain America is the mightiest soldier with the super powerful secret soldier formula that makes him a super man.

Why Unions Are Dangerous in Education

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One would think that a teacher that had 30 some years ago allegedly impregnated a 16-year-old student, a few years later sexually accosted two 12-year-old students, and was accused of molesting yet another student four years after that, would be out on his ear never to teach or be allowed around children again. But the […]

 

Birtherism Is A Winning Political Issue? Gimmie A Break!

Posted on by John Hawkins

Joseph Farah from WorldNetDaily and Andrew Breitbart got into an argument at the Nashville Tea Party Convention about the birther issue. Not a shock there.

My Response To The Sarah Palin Notes-On-Her-Hand Controversy In A Picture

Posted on by John Hawkins

Liberals have been flipping out because Sarah Palin wrote some notes on her hand when she did her speech at the Tea Party in Tennessee. What exactly is their problem with it?

Congress May Pull Us Back From Brink of Ecototalitarianism

Posted on by Dave Blount

With the insane ruling that the harmless carbon dioxide humans generate with every activity is a pollutant and therefore subject to control by the leftists running the EPA, the Supreme Court has brought us to the edge of a totalitarianism unprecedented in human history. If the EPA is given time to implement the authority it […]

 

AGW Today: Add Wavegate And Africagate To The IPCC Hit List

Posted on by William Teach

Seriously, how can anyone even pretend to support the UN IPCC anymore? The feckless response from the climate alarmists has become tedious, repetitious, and absurd as the days go by and yet more incompetence from the IPCC, dare I say reckless, deceptive, deceitful, misleading, and blatantly untruthful (with forethought), continues to see the light of […]

Obama Getting Desperate On Health Legislation, Convening Summit

Posted on by William Teach

In a sign that smacks of incredible desperation regarding his signature, and outsourced, legislation – and also shows that he still does not comprehend that the economy and jobs are the top issues facing this country – Obama made a big announcement during his little interview with Katie Couric, a time period in which most […]

 

India Sets Up Independent Global Warming Panel

Posted on by Dennis Avery

CHURCHVILLE, VA – India is setting up its own climate research unit because it no longer trusts the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. I’ve been predicting such a move for years–partly due to the IPCC’s biased science, but more because India simply cannot afford to curtail its desperately needed and energy-powered economic growth. India’s […]

 

The Uber Scary Tim Tebow ‘Pro-Life’ Super Bowl Ad and Feminist Lunacy

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Yes, I do realize that “feminist lunacy” is sort of redundant. As for the ad itself, you might want to remove any children (who: you’ve been “punished” by) from the room before watching this uber scary video.: This is the pre-game ad from Pam and Tim Tebow and Focus on the Family that caused such consternation from […]

 

A few words written on your palm is exactly the same thing as complete dependency on professionally-written speeches, laid out for you on high-tech teleprompters.

Posted on by TrogloPundit

Andrew Sullivan, writing about Sarah Palin’s speech at that big Tea Party thingie this weekend: I was too busy tapping away at my laptop to notice this little high-school […]

 

HuffPost Makes Sarah Seem Like a Genius

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Being a liberal is like being Hitler, murderer of over six million human beings, were he to have tsk tsked Pol Pot for being so evil as to have murdered three million Cambodians. There is no sense of shame with a liberal. They have no sense whatsoever that anything they’ve ever done should temper their […]

 

Diesel’s Ad Campaign to Teens: “Show Us Your Boobs”

It seems that: advertising executives now think it’s totally cool to include teens in that whole “sex sells” marketing tool.
