Happy Kwanzaa, Commies, Racists, and Psychopaths

Posted on by Dave Blount

Rather than commit a faux pas by acknowledging Christmas, liberals can celebrate Kwanzaa instead — like they do in some of our public schools: Kwanzaa comes once a year, but at Falk Elementary School it’s a part of the lesson plan almost every day. On Friday, the last day of school before the holidays, students […]

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

To all of you busy with Christmas stuff (as I am), here is the “spin” on the First Responders Bill now being debated in Congress. Democrats care. Republicans don’t.

Posted on by William Teach

How Government Regulations Crush Small Business Before It Can Get Started

Posted on by John Hawkins

Under the best of circumstances, it’s tough to be an entrepreneur. You’ve got to come up with an idea, find the money to fund it, find the time to get it started, and even then, a lot of small, well run businesses lose money right off the bat. Show me someone who can create a […]

 

Arlen Specter’s Sad, Bitter, Goodbye Speech, Reeks of Arrogance

Posted on by Jeff Dunetz

Today Arlen Specter said goodbye to the Senate, and in doing so he showed himself to be a bitter, defeated old man. I suppose such is the fate of political opportunists. Ironically he devoted part of his speech to bashing the “right wing” voters who seek to back candidates whose Conservatism was pure. Specter’s career […]

 

Obama’s Attny Gen. Says Americans More Dangerous Than Al Qaeda

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Eric Holder told ABC News that he has “sleepless nights” over his worry about domestic terrorists. He thinks that Americans, natural born are far more dangerous than foreign terrorists.

As Debt Explodes, Big Government Arrogantly Wastes

Posted on by Dave Blount

Despite Comrade Obama’s clumsy triangulation maneuvers, it’s likely our rulers will soon raise taxes, possibly even by imposing an economy-strangling VAT tax. If they don’t, the exploding debt will cause the entire economy to collapse and the dollar to become worthless. The only other option would be to reduce spending — but that’s out of […]

Hey, Liberals: Obama Lied to You on ‘Tax Cuts For the Rich’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Byron York assembled a collection of some of the many times that candidate Barack Obama told us he’d “roll back” those Bush tax cuts “for the rich.” Of course, we all know there was never any “tax cuts for the rich,” but from the left’s perspective, Obama has lied to them big time. Will they […]

 

FCC To Vote On Net Neutrality Today, Create Problem Where None Existed

Posted on by William Teach

Liberals blame Bush era policies for the economic mess we’re in right now, as well as a raft of other problems. Conservatives (rightly) blame the economic mess on Democrat policies, and highlight the problems caused by other legislation, such as ObamaCare and the Porkulus. Altogether, though, notice that government tends to create more problems while […]

 

Insha’Gore! All That Snow Is What Global Warming Looks Like

The Debt Crisis Spreads To Cities And States

Posted on by John Hawkins

The housing crisis that was created by the federal government encouraging banks to make risky loans may have been the immediate trigger to the economic problems we have, but the roots of the issue go much deeper. The fact of the matter is that we’ve spent much more money than we have in this country, […]

DHS Defends Against Nonexistent Climate Crisis

Posted on by Dave Blount

You can’t blame Janet Napolitano for not lifting a finger to secure the undefended border with Mexico, even as it dissolves into violent chaos.

Republicans Block DREAM Act, Another Old Media Lie

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Old Media is up to its old tricks again, this time making the GOP the fall guy for the failure of the latest immigration bill.
