Left-Wing Prof Uses State Funded University To Launch Attack on U.S.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Every once in a while I like to blow off some steam and deliver a good rant. So get ready for my rant du jour… It’s like a bad parody of the worst propensity of the American professoriate to be, well, as un-American as one can get. But here we have another prosaic example of […]

 

GOP Chair Brady, Are We Eating Our Own, Now?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

When I got the notice of […]

 

ObamaCare Push Highlights Senators’ Contempt for Constitution

Posted on by Dave Blount

The “public servants” who have been grinding the soles of their loafers into our faces as they usurp our liberties and spend the nation into bankruptcy are sworn to uphold the Constitution. Yet evidence accrues that they aren’t more than vaguely familiar with this “deeply flawed” document: • Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) doesn’t know “if […]

 

Obama Declares War on Banks

Posted on by Dave Blount

The left-wing fanatics running our government are doing their very best to recreate the halcyon days of big government liberalism — the Great Depression.

Christiane Amanpour Gets Tortured With Enhanced Truth From Marc Theissen

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

One of the more interesting parts of the Scott Brown campaign was his defense of enhanced interrogation techniques. The Massachusetts voters approve of them, and him.

So John Edwards is the baby’s father. Shocking! Not.

I’m pretty close to giving up on Mr. Obama, who seems determined to confirm every doubt I and others ever had about whether he was ready to fight for what his supporters believed in. — Paul Krugman ..The problem was that immediately after the election, like one nano-second after, Obama and his centrist, defensive team […]

An Interesting and Proud Look Back at The Senate Seat Won By Scott Brown

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

Michael Zak once again reminds us of the proud heritage of the GOP: :  : As the new senator from Massachusetts, Scott Brown, said: “It’s not the Ted Kennedy seat. It’s not the Democrat seat. It’s the people’s seat.”Instead of Ted, let’s remember an honorable and courageous Republican senator who once filled the seat to which […]

 

Why Brown’s Victory Probably Killed Health Care Reform

Posted on by John Hawkins

Pelosi, Obama and a lot of other liberals are talking tough on health care, but the reality is that Scott Brown’s election is probably going to kill it deader than the Dodo. Granted, you can never say never in this business — after all, how many of us expected the Dems to lose “Ted Kennedy’s […]

 

Scott Brown’s Daughters

Posted on by Donald Douglas

I think last night really demonstrated the immediacy and power of Twitter. When Scott Brown announced that his daughters were “available,” Kathleen McKinley sent this tweet in real time: I saw a few more tweets from women bloggers who were similarly shocked. It wasn’t the high point of Brown’s speech, but he’s easily forgiven considering […]

 

CATO on Brown: This is like Ted Kennedy being elected in Utah

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston There’s a lot of analysis out there on why Scott Brown defeated nearly 50 years of Democratic rule of the Massachusetts Senate seat, but the CATO Institute has some cogent, logical points that we should all carefully consider. But before I give you the CATO video, remember this…. it’s time to […]

 

Dems Try To Pre-emptively Define New GOP Responsibility

Posted on by McQ

That didn’t take long. After essentially ignoring Senate Republicans for a year (well except when they thought they could pick one or two off to help them make something appear “bi-partisan”), Democrats are now ready to lecture Republicans about their new “responsibility”. In a talking points memo issued to Democratic Senators today, they lay out […]

 

NBC’s Viera Scolding Scott Brown on Today Show

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Meridith Viera seemed a bit annoyed that she was interviewing the newly elected Republican Scott Brown instead of Democrat Martha Coakley now that Massachusetts voters made their choice in the Tuesday special election for the open Senate seat there. Viera did her level best to phrase the results of the election in an agenda driven […]

 

The Republican Party Shouldn’t Get Cocky Because Of The Brown Win

Posted on by John Hawkins

Here’s the sad reality for liberals: In 2006 and 2008, voters were primarily rejecting the Republican Party, not embracing a left-wing agenda. However, Democrats, as always, wildly over reached to the left once they got into power and turned off the American public. That brings us to last night’s election. Turning “Ted Kennedy’s seat” into […]

Louisiana State Senator A.G. Crowe (R, Slidell) is introducing a bill for the 2010 legislative session in Baton Rouge that would make Obamacare illegal if it violates state laws, effectively making Obamacare null and void in the Pelican State.

Krugman Says Obama Doesn’t Blame Bush Enough?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of the worst writers in political punditry, a man with a little deserved reputation as a thinker and analyst, is New York Times columnist Paul Krugman. Sometimes the things he says are so absurd that it is hard to believe that even he believes what he is writing. Aside from his discreditable insistence that […]

America Now Less Free Than Canada

Posted on by Dave Blount

Sweet Land of Liberty, this was once called; and it will be again — provided our current government is run out of Washington.

Found: A “Green Job”

Posted on by Dave Blount

Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar” — the self-avowed communist and “rowdy black nationalist” Van Jones — was driven out of office by Glenn Beck’s exposés having spend $60 billion to create exactly 0 green jobs. As even the Obama sycophants at Newsreek sheepishly admitted, no one could even define a green job at the time. But […]

 

The Liberal Blog Reaction To Scott Brown’s Election In Quotes

Posted on by John Hawkins

As you’d expect, the netroots have their saaaaaaadddddd faces on after the big loss last night. Also unsurprisingly — well, to me anyway — the general consensus seems to be that a big part of the problem has been that Barack Obama has been too bipartisan and not nearly liberal enough. Oh, if only Obama […]

 

Your Lawn Is Now Bad For Globull Warming

Posted on by William Teach

OK, the article discusses “urban green spaces,” and Turfgrass but, the same principles apply to that lawn you slave away on (as you slap down a few beers before collapsing in your comfy chair to watch a game) Dispelling the notion that urban “green” spaces help counteract greenhouse gas emissions, new research has found — […]
