Heritage: Unions Ate Your Raise

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??

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

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

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.

Justice Alito: A Fancier “You Lie”

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

POLITICO’s Kasie Hunt, who’s in the House chamber, reports […]

 

Obama: Have Teleprompter, Will Travel

It’s his Woobie ™ ! : How sweet; Obama and his woobie are never far apart. First, he took it along when speaking to 6th graders, : as I noted the other day. Now, he had his good, old buddy by his side : when talking to a task-force – of like a dozen people. : No, really. Image […]

 

My 42 Definitions of a Strong Society

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 […]

Obama’s Lobbyist Slams Masks Big K Street Payday

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.

Another Example of Backwards Islamic ‘Culture’

U.S. troops in Afghanistan are having a hard time understanding what is a strange Afghan cultural practice to them.

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