Tolerance and Diversity: Teaching Girls That Misogyny And Beatings Are An Honor

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Originally published at NewsReal: “Allah honored wives by instating the punishment of beatings.” So said Cleric Sa’d Arafat earlier this year. Last month, a Wellesley, Massachusetts public school took a trip to a mosque, where the school children were taught to pray to that same Allah. The result is stunning: an unabashed exercise in Islamic […]

 

Science vs. Scientific Consensus On Global Warming

Posted on by John Hawkins

Over at the New York Times, Ross Douthat, who’s a true believer in global warming, wrote a surprisingly intriguing piece called, “Why Don’t Republicans Believe in Climate Change?” The reason I say, “surprisingly intriguing” is because most pieces of the sort that Douthat’s writing are tedious, insult-laden borefests. Pieces like that are so common and […]

 

Two Democratic Ads Show You Just How Bad It Has Gotten For The Democrats Out There

Posted on by John Hawkins

How bad is it for Democrats out there? So bad that pretend moderates like Bobby Bright and Jim Marshall are out there trumpeting how much they don’t like Nancy Pelosi. Here’s Bobby Bright’s new ad pledging not to vote for Nancy Pelosi as speaker…again. Of course, as the NRCC has pointed out, Bobby Bright votes […]

President Narcissist Rears His Head: “GOP Must Work With Me”

Posted on by William Teach

I think, perhaps, that Fox News went a little overboard with their headline “Obama: Republicans Will Have to Learn to Get Along With Me. He didn’t quite say that in the same Times article where he admitted there was no such thing as shovel ready jobs, yet, it caught my attention President Obama reveals in […]

 

Union Killing Local Libraries?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In this era of severe budget cuts, layoffs, and job loss, people in the real world are making due with less. Businesses are cutting back and people are hurting everywhere in this era of Obama. Local governments are also starting to find this economic climate challenging. But even as local budgets are taking hits, unions […]

 

AGW Today: Polar Bears And Plastic Bags

Posted on by William Teach

I always get a kick out of these “let’s spend time with the cute and fuzzy bunnies*, er, polar bears” stories, because you know that one day they are going to end in tears, and the climaidiots will wonder why In her spare hours, you’ll likely find Kathryn Ravey on stage, rehearsing for Eden Prairie […]

 

Which Party Is More Extremist?

Posted on by William Teach

Despite the decade long narrative from the Democrats about the Republican Party being extremist, the yammering on about “neocons” and “religious fundamentalists” (BTW, Obama himself would be considered a fundie, since he is a born again Christian), a narrative the Compliant Media were happy to run with, something went wrong (make sure to read the […]

 

Alaska’s Sen. Murkowski a Coke Head?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Dan Riehl of Riehl World View has a bit of a bombshell to drop on the arrogant, self-reverential “Senator of the people,” Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski — she of the second hand Senate seat bequeathed to her by her father who held that seat himself. Riehl says that it is a commonly known, not-so-secret secret in […]

 

Media Pushes NOW Is the ‘Voice of Women’ Lie

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

N.O.W., the National Organization of Whores, leaped into the lead for the title of most epically hypocritical organization this week. Whoops, silly me!:  I mean National Organization for Women. But, as ExJon of Exurban League pointed out to me, they won’t mind being called whores, will they? I mean, they obviously have no problem with […]

 

Democrats Stealing Elections: Illinois Dems Deny Military the Vote in 2010 Election

Video: Old Media Shields Rahm Emmanuel From Conservative Reporter, Threaten Violence

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This is really outrageous. William Kelly, who has a program on the weekends on Chicago’s WIND radio, went out with the rest of the media shadowing Rahm Emanuel as he walked around meeting and greeting Chicago voters yesterday. The outrageous part was that Kelly, a conservative, was pushed away by one self-professed “real” reporter and […]

 

GE Paid $24.9 Million in “Stimulus” Funds, Then Cuts 18,000 US Jobs

Posted on by Dave Blount

The great thing about capitalism is that allows you to rise from nothing and climb to the very top. But the drawback is that once you get there, you have to stay competitive, or someone who works harder will supplant you. That’s why entrenched establishment dinosaurs like GE prefer crony capitalism — a system by […]

 

Public Funds for Condoms and Lubricants at Gay Bar

Posted on by Dave Blount

Big Government can seize pretty much all the money it wants from us. So long as the economy has not yet been bled to death, the only problem is, what to do with so much loot? Bureauweenies in Arkansas came up with this idea: use some to facilitate homosexual depravity: A non-profit organization called “Brotha’s […]

 

Every Obama Promise Has A Shelf Life: The Shovel Ready Edition

Posted on by John Hawkins

The image is positively retro. Picture a sweaty brow, rolled-up sleeves, knotty forearms, calloused hands. Picture virgin land, just waiting to be transformed. Shovel-ready land. This is America on the eve of the Obama era. Shovel-ready. He keeps telling us so. On “Meet the Press,” fill-in host Tom Brokaw wants to know how quickly Barack […]

 

Swastikas Painted On A Jewish Candidate’s Sign: Why Isn’t This A Front Page Story?

Posted on by John Hawkins

If a noose is found on a college campus, it can be front page news all across the country. If some local Republican official in nowhereville, South Dakota says something racist, there’s a decent chance it’ll make the New York Times. If there’s a racist sign at a Tea Party in the backwaters of Louisiana, […]

Vir. Rep. Moran’s Fake Endorsements

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Democrat Representative Jim Moran of Virginia’s 8th District is seeking reelection and like all politicians he proudly displays those groups and individuals that have endorsed him on his campaign literature.

GOP Beating Dems In 8 Of 10 Open House Seats

Posted on by William Teach

Not shocking, really. What are the Democrat candidates going to say “I support Obama and Pelosi and their America destroying agenda?” Actually, what they are doing is what most other Dems are doing: running away from Obama and Pelosi and everything they stand for. So, voters say “why vote for a wishy washy fake Republican, […]

 

EPA Set To Greenlight Use Of Ethanol 15 This Week

Posted on by William Teach

You’ll remember that I mentioned, back on September 21st, that the EPA was considering greenlight the use of 15% ethanol gasoline, and the confusion it would create. Looks like they do not care, they’re on a mission from Gaia The Obama administration plans to allow higher levels of ethanol for gasoline used by newer cars, […]

Alexi Giannoulias is well known as the “Mob Banker” for the fact that his family bank lent $20 million to two mobsters while Alexi was an officer of the bank. The Illinois Democrat’s Senate candidate has finally answered to this loan a bit more directly than he has in the past and his answer is […]

Uncle Sam’s Plantation

Posted on by Dave Blount

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Founding Father of the American welfare state, appeared to have qualms about the Frankenstein monster he set in motion: “The lessons of history … show conclusively that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fiber. To dole out relief in this way is to […]

Video: Media…. TELL THE TRUTH!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remember that lie the media tried to foist upon us that Tea Party folks “hurled racial epithets” on members of Congress during the healthcare debate?

Obama’s Healthcare Rules Will Shut Down Catholic Hospitals Nationwide

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Some of Obamacare’s most destructive forces are quickly becoming common knowledge. We have, for instance, become painfully aware that Obama’s claim that we all could keep our plans and doctors “if you like them” is an outright falsehood as some people are already losing their coverage. It is also becoming clear that companies will be […]
