Quote of the Day: I’m Blacker Than Barack Obama

Posted on by Sharon Soon

I’ve gotta hand it to Rod Blagojevich, the recently impeached governor of Illinois. The man makes your average Democrat look like Mother Teresa, having made a name for himself by not just his acts of corruption as governor, but by the many uncontrolled, crude, and obnoxious remarks he’s made since he’s become a national figure. […]

 

Why This Conservative Wants Harry Reid to Stay Right Now

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Of course it would serve Senate Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid and the Democrats right if they found Reid hounded from the Democrat leadership or even from office over his racist comments made about President Obama back during the presidential campaign. After all the faux charges of racism that the left has used to hound […]

 

No, I Don’t Want To Be Like Europe, Paul Krugman

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

No, I don’t want to learn from Europe. And this is why: 5. Although Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark are among Europe’s wealthiest countries, as U.S. states they would be between 14.5% and 18% below the U.S. average. Go read the whole thing. Also this. These are just financial, quality of life reasons I don’t want […]

 

Rudy Flub Brings Out Vultures

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For several days now the Old Media has been indulging in a steady attack on former Mayor Rudy Giuliani that tends to misdirect readers away from his criticism of President Obama. First by making what Giuliani said of Obama seem more adulatory than it was and second by focusing on a rather unexceptional remark that […]

 

Bloomberg’s Anti-Salt Crusade May Go Nationwide

Posted on by Dave Blount

In the nanny state dystopia of New York City, shooting heroin is encouraged, with the taxpayer forced to pay for instructions on how to do it. But the authorities won’t long permit eating salted food: Participation in New York City’s new anti-salt campaign, which aims to reduce the sodium content of restaurant and packaged food […]

 

Unions and Corruption Plague Chicago’s Convention Business

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Chicago’s McCormick Place convention center is one of the largest convention halls in the world. With a total of 2,670,000 square feet of exhibition space and clocking in at a building cost of nearly one billion dollars it had better be one of the biggest, after all Chicago does do things big. Sadly that includes […]

 

A Cold Wind Is Sweeping This Land

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

A Dec. 26th New York Times article erroneously reported that the Catholic Health Association and the U.S, Conference of Bishops were not agreeing or working together for health reform legislation that would not include abortion funding. Since Democrat Sen. Nelson made abortion an issue in the legislation, and then was bought off, the media have […]

 

The Bad News Just Keeps Rolling In For Obamacare

Posted on by John Hawkins

The more you know about the healthcare plan rammed through Congress, the more there is to hate. It raises taxes, raises premiums, increases the cost of care, adds to the deficit and will lead to taxpayer funded abortion, longer waits, rationing, death panels, and a decreased quality of care — and that’s probably underselling it. […]

 

How Republicans Should Handle Racial Controversies In The Future

Posted on by John Hawkins

As everyone has seen with Harry Reid, charges of “racism” in politics are often treated as a game and here’s the way it’s currently played: 1) A politician or well known personality makes a statement that may be interpreted by some people as racist. 2) That person then runs to a bevy of prominent, liberal […]

 

It’s the People’s Seat

Posted on by Dave Blount

Massachusetts US Senate candidate Scott Brown hands it to liberal establishmentarian David Gergen with the great line: It’s not the Kennedys’ seat and it’s not the Democrats’ seat. It’s the people’s seat. Please, Massachusetts. The whole country is counting on you. Contributions to Brown’s crucial special election campaign can be made here. The nation’s future […]

 

Britain Bans Islamist Groups, Finally Catching A Clue?

Posted on by William Teach

For years, Britain has allowed an ever growing population of Muslims, including illegals, who tend to gravitate to radical Islam. Britain has tolerated these radical Muslims, has tolerated those who believe in jihad, terrorism, a worldwide caliphate, and so on. Maybe they are catching a clue that tolerance is not always a good thing The […]

 

The Top 10 Quotes From Barack Obama In 2009

Posted on by John Hawkins

When Barack Obama was on the campaign trail, he promised Americans hope, change, and unity. Whatever else may be said about the man, you at least have to give him credit for delivering on all counts. After all, as the year has progressed, more and more Americans have united against his agenda. As for the […]

 

Mini-Ice Age?

Posted on by McQ

Probably not. But the probability that the cold weather the world is experiencing might be part of a multi-decadal oscillation (MDO) and a natural cyclical occurrence puts a real dent in the so-called “science” of man-made global warming. I found it interesting that over the weekend, the New York Times went to great lengths to […]

 

A Black Conservative Voice on Reid *BAM*

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

The following letter is from Lt. Col. Allen West, a Black conservative candidate for the House in Florida’s Congressional District 22, and: is a must read. As you can see in the picture above though, Majority Leader Harry Reid would probably consider him too “dark skinned” to be electable. But I’m thinking he will win easily. […]

 

Will Sarah Palin Still Run For Office From A Fox Studio? Will Huckabee?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Will Sarah Palin run for office from a Fox studio? Will Huckabee? Maybe. Could they? The answer, of course, is yes. Will they? Probably. Some people are taking the news of Sarah Palin ending up on TV as proof that she has no presidential aspiration. To which I respond with the mature, “As if.” Ex-governor […]

 

Stimulus Spending + Global Warming = Snowdrifts in the Road

Posted on by Dave Blount

What do you get when you combine extravagant stimulus spending with global warming? I’ll tell you what you don’t get: streets you can drive on. There’s the gold standard of snow and ice removal on major roads in the Midwest — asphalt, plowed smooth and salted for easy driving. And then there’s the reality this […]

 

The Left: Bending Over Backwards to Excuse Racism

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A new book about the 2008 presidential election has made quite a stir with its revelation that Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) chose some, shall we say, unfortunate wording when referring to then candidate Barack Obama in some “private” discussions with reporters during the late presidential campaign. In the book Game Change penned […]

 

…Yet Not ALL Unions Willing to Bend Over for Obamacare Tax Hike

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Yesterday I posted a story about how the two big public employees unions were looking the other way on Obamacare and helping Obama to pass his socialist take over of our healthcare system even though the plan would hike taxes on their very own members and would devastate their helathcare plans. Well, not all unions […]

 

Moonbat Eco-Pirates Throw Stones From Cracked Glass Boat

Posted on by Dave Blount

This is too much even from moonbats, whose capacity for projection is legendary: Environment lobby group Sea Shepherd has lodged a piracy complaint in the Netherlands against the captain and crew of a Japanese ship that collided with one of its vessels. “We have lodged a complaint of piracy with the Dutch prosecuting authority against […]

 

Scott Brown Race in Massachusetts: Turnout Matters

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Pollster.com has some interesting analysis: Turnout Will Matter — The big spread in results among the polls, and differences apparent within two of them, are all consistent in supporting one finding: The lower the turnout, the better the odds for Scott Brown. These differences indicate that the voters most interested and most likely to vote […]

Do Democrats Believe That Blacks Need To Be Whiter To Be Elected?

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

I know that we are beating this horse to death with Harry Reid and his racial remarks, but this point just has to be made. An e-mailer over at NRO pointed this out: “Harry Reid’s] remark’s context is (apologies) remarkable. From media reports, it appears that the Majority Leader made these statements to a group […]

 

Prop 8’s Day In Federal Court Starts Today

Posted on by William Teach

I usually avoid discussion of certain issues, such as gay marriage, because they are not really hot button issues with me. Furthermore, while, if pressed, I do not support gay marriage, I do support civil unions, and, this being America, where freedom should reign supreme, and, with a Classical Liberal doctrine of “if it doesn’t […]

If you haven’t heard about John Heilemann and Mark Halperin’s Game Change yet, prepare yourself for the onslaught, because this is going to be One! Hot! Book!
