Well, this is the big weekend. I’m seeing tweets coming from the gathering. Nothing splashy yet–just lots of pictures of a very up-scale hotel. Luke Obrien of AOLNews has a fascinating exposé on Phillips. Here’s a snippet: Phillips’ big idea was a social network for conservatives. It would eventually be called Tea Party Nation. In […]

 

Who Wins When Moonbats Write the Rules: Alan Rosenfeld

Posted on by Dave Blount

As our liberal rulers drive the economy toward total collapse with their extravagant spending, you have to wonder where all the money goes. It’s not easy to waste trillions of dollars without producing any tangible benefit. Alan Rosenfeld provides an example of how it’s done: A Queens teacher who collects a $100,000 salary for doing […]

Sigh.

Republicans Prefer Tax Cuts Over A Balanced Budget?

Posted on by McQ

That’s the buzz going around some liberal blogs about a Rasmussen poll which claims that a plurality of Republicans polled would rather see tax cuts and a deficit than a balanced budget and tax increases (one supposes the increases would be used to balance it. The history of our government says otherwise). Of course I’m […]

 

It Has Begun: The Big Social Security Meltdown

Posted on by John Hawkins

For years, conservatives have been saying that we need to get a handle on Social Security. Even George Bush, who wasn’t a fiscal conservative, understood the risks and he tried desperately to reform the program — but, not: :  to avail.

Anti-Gun Government Tyranny in Canada

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Unlike the U.S., Canada does not have the right of self-protection enshrined in its laws.

Trashing The Pope: Okay With Barack Obama?

Posted on by John Hawkins

One of the things you can’t help but notice about the left is that no matter how often they claim to have no problem with Christianity, many liberals certainly act like people who despise Christians. Moreover, it’s also notable that their dislike of Christianity doesn’t seem to inspire any reaction from their fellow liberals. In […]

Liberal Commentary, Obtuseness, and Rush Limbaugh

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

Whenever you read commentary by a liberal about Rush Limbaugh you can be sure of two things. One, they never listen to him, and two, they don’t seem to get the whole sarcasm thing. Case in point. Robert Schlesinger at USNews.com wonders why Sarah Palin wouldn’t jump on Rush Limbaugh for using the word “retarded” […]

With the cameras […]

 

Another Chicago Alderman Goes to Jail — THIS is Heartening Progress

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Alderman Ike Carothers is going to jail over his corruption. The wormy apple didn’t fall too far from the diseased tree, either, because Ike’s daddy, himself a former Alderman, went to jail for corruption in 1983. Ike joins a dozen other Chicago politicians in the Big House. But I am here to say that I […]

The Scam of Man Made Global Warming Politics Exposed…Finally (Updates!)

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

This seems to be the year that the man made global warming scam is finally being exposed. Study after study is being shown to be a farce.

Obama May Turn Over Keys to the Internet to Hostile Powers

Posted on by Dave Blount

Jimmy Carter’s signature achievement was throwing away strategically vital control of the Panama Canal, which America built. Chairman Zero can match that easily — by throwing away the Internet: Without the ingenuity of America’s brightest minds and the investment of U.S. taxpayer dollars, there would be no Internet, as we now know it today. Now, […]

 

Illinois Shows Limitations of Tea Party Movement

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Tea Party folks keep getting mad at me for saying that in the end they might prove ineffective in races at levels higher than local because they aren’t organized enough. They puff up their chests proudly proclaiming that they intend to resist being organized and they claim that being organized is precisely what they […]

Posted on by John Hawkins

It’s really amusing to watch the scales fall from Glenn Greenwald’s eyes on national security.
