Heritage: Unions Ate Your Raise

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

James Sherk has a very good post over at the Heritage Foundation’s The Foundry blog about how unions have hurt us all by fighting for tax increases. Unions almost never go on strike anymore.

A Serious Global Warming Report Based on……A Student’s Essay??

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

2009/10 may be the banner years for liberal propaganda and bad policy exposed. From Van Jones, to ACORN, to backroom deals, to the stimulus bill.

Leftist tactics to scare the uninformed about America’s religious freedoms

Posted on by Bookworm

I got a very hysterical form letter from Americans United for Separation of Church and State. What’s impressive about it is that Barry Lynn, the Executive Director who purportedly authored this fevered screed, is totally uninformed about the nature of America’s Constitutional mandates regarding religion. Here’s what the First Amendment says: Congress shall make no […]

 

On MSNBC, Andrew Breitbart: One. David Shuster: Less Than Zero

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Actually, Andrew Breitbart has way more than just one under his belt, but I’m only referring to the throw-down on MSNBC just the other day. Okay, I suppose it can’t really be called a throw-down, as it isn’t a fair fight when one of the participants is, you know, intellectually-challenged. : David Shuster isn’t the brightest […]

Justice Alito: A Fancier “You Lie”

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Okay, maybe not a fancier “You Lie”,:  but more refined, shall we say.

My 42 Definitions of a Strong Society

Posted on by Morgan Freeberg

Yes, once again it is time to dig into the obsessive-compulsive-list-making “what’s been ripening in the innards of the smartphone” file. And nobody disagrees with me about any of it. At least, when talking-out-loud most people don’t disagree with much of it. Being a liberal, lately, seems to involve saying something to the effect of […]

Jim Ryan, whose finance director was convicted as part of the Tony Rezko kerfuffle, is targeting Andy McKenna with bogus attacks: because he knows: McKenna’s the guy to beat for a run-off.

Obama’s Lobbyist Slams Masks Big K Street Payday

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In his State of the Union speech, the president puffed up his chest, fixed his Mr. scornful face, and once again pulled out the populist’s handbook to bash those evil, monstrous lobbyists. Obama mentioned lobbyists seven times in his address and in every case they were used as a scapegoat to explain away Washington’s inability […]

Being a good conservative, I am torn on this story!
