County Sues Man for Growing Veggies?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Where’s Michelle “the Green Witch” Obama when you need her? She might have been able to save a man in Dekalb County, Georgia from being sued by his own county for growing too many vegetables in his garden. That’s right, you heard me: sued by the government for growing too many veggies. Steve Miller plants […]

 

Obama to Dumb Down Car Ratings Stickers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Earlier this month the Obama administration floated a trial balloon about changing the way vehicle information stickers on new cars would be structured. The administration floated the idea of letter grades instead of the more full information that vehicle stickers now contain. The most fuel-efficient would get and “A” rating with less green cars having […]

 

No, Thank You. I Don’t Want A Gender Card.

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Conservative women neither want nor need a gender card, yet:  some seem hell-bent on forcing one upon us. It is one thing to correctly point out blatant sexism and the outright misogyny of the Left, particularly that of the so-called feminist Left. But it’s quite another to make up sexism out of whole cloth. Which […]

 

GOP’s Pledge To America To Be Unveiled Today

Posted on by William Teach

Everyone else has chimed in on the subject, including much criticism from some Conservatives, so, my two cents CBS News has obtained a final draft of House Republicans’ legislative agenda for the next Congress, a 21-page “Pledge to America” that they will formally unveil Thursday morning at a Virginia hardware store. “The need for urgent […]

 

Climate Alarmist Despair That They “Need A New President”

Posted on by William Teach

Glenn Hurowitz at Grist is another Liberal tired of defending Obama. If he ever gets a chance to tell Obama about his pain, he’ll probably get an answer about “times being tough” and “understanding his frustration,” followed by some blamestorming, a list of worthless legislation, along with “as I have said,” denoting that Hurowitz should […]

 

40 Days Out: Analysis Of All The Key Senate Races

Posted on by John Hawkins

As you read these run-downs, keep in mind that we have yet to reach the most crucial part of the campaign season. Over the next 40 days, the voters will be paying attention, the candidates will be spending everything left in their coffers, and you will see surprisingly rapid changes in some of these races. […]

 

Van Tran is ‘Very Anti-Immigrant and Very Anti-Latino’

Posted on by Donald Douglas

That’s a pretty harsh castigation. Via Breitbart TV and Memeorandum. And this is local to me as well. I drive through this Garden Grove congressional district on my way to work. The Vietnamese are hardly “anti-immigrant.” And of course the O.C.’s historically been home to the biggest Vietnamese community in the nation, initially composed of […]

 

‘God Will Be Trailing at the Rear of Your Battalions’

Posted on by Donald Douglas

Following the recent flame war, I found my name slurred with the most vile racist comment at one of the leftist hate-blogs. And as I write at the conclusion of my response: I know the moral clarity that is my trademark. Such hatred only strengthens me for the fight ahead. Conservatives are turning the tide […]

 

Auntie Zeituni Gripes About the Accommodations on Her Free Ride

Posted on by Dave Blount

Apparently the self-pity Comrade Obama exhibits whenever he’s criticized runs in the family, as demonstrated by his welfare queen illegal alien Aunt Zeituni. From Howie Carr: So here she is, the president’s half-aunt, 58 years old, “retired,” living in public housing where Americans must wait years for an opening, getting $700 a month from a […]

 

Boys Now Have a Human Right to Use Girls Bathroom

Posted on by Dave Blount

The Maine Human Rights Commission deserves praise from moonbats for doing its part in the culture war: The Maine Human Rights Commission ruled Monday that Orono Middle School unlawfully discriminated against a sixth-grader during the 2008-2009 school year by not letting the male-to-female transgender student use the girls’ bathroom. This is the same student whose […]

 

Shorter Bob Woodward: Obama Is Guided By Politics In Afghanistan, Doesn’t Listen To Generals, & Doesn’t Care About Winning.

Posted on by John Hawkins

Libs should be flattered that conservatives are so ferocious these days. After all, we’re just imitating what they did in the Bush years. When it came out that Bob Woodward was doing an Obama book, there was one thing people wondered about: Would he let people know what was really going on or sugarcoat everything […]

 

How The Tragedy Of The Political Commons Is Destroying Our Country

Posted on by John Hawkins

Have you ever heard of the Tragedy of the Commons? It’s a classic lesson of economics that was, believe it or not, best summarized by an eco-hippie named Garrett Hardin: The tragedy of the commons develops in this way. Picture a pasture open to all. It is to be expected that each herdsman will try […]

 

Obama Says U.S. Can ‘Absorb Terror Attacks’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Eh, don’t worry, America. If there is another 9/11-like terror attack, The One says that we can “absorb it” and just become “stronger” because of it. It’s as if he wants it to happen, or something! In his latest book, Bob Woodward encountered a President Obama that seemed to casually blow off worry of another […]

 

Wear Your TEA Party Or American Flag Shirt To Vote!

Posted on by William Teach

Of course, most TEA Party shirts include an American Flag, so either one. See if you have the same issues as this lady A conservative group filed a federal lawsuit Monday to make sure voters get to wear their tea party T-shirts to the polls. The lawsuit stemmed from the case of Coconino County resident […]

 

SEIU Union Hack Admits that Local TV Stations Help ‘Get Our Message Across’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Daniel Bice of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel has a gem of a report wherein a union operative admits on tape that he and his union pals intend to launch a big campaign against Wisconsin’s GOP Gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker. That news isn’t much of a surprise, of course, but what is a surprise is that this […]

 

Clinton Initiative Looks To Stop Global Climate Disruption With New Stoves

Posted on by William Teach

On the surface, this seems like a good idea At the Clinton Global Initiative today, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and various partners described details of a plan to curb the clouds of toxic cooking smoke killing nearly 2 million people a year in the world’s poorest places. More than 2 billion people rely […]

 

U.S. Diplomats Forced to Respectfully Listen to Ahmadinejad’s UN Screed

Posted on by Doug Ross

Unsatisfied with a mere series of bows, the Obama White House has decided to truly humiliate the United States. The administration apparently instructed U.S. diplomats to respectfully listen in as the insane, Hitler-esque despot threatened America with a war ‘without boundaries’. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad warned the Obama administration today that if Iran’s nuclear facilities […]

 

Unions Retreat on Criticism of Dems That Didn’t Support Obamacare

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Earlier in this election cycle unions were pumped up with an assumed sense of supreme power, they had spent millions to elect their guy to the White House and they were ready to flex their muscles. Unions began to direct that assumed power against Democrats that were reticent to support Obama’s takeover of our healthcare […]

 

Talking Points Memo Defends Sexist Harry Reid’s Announcement of Kirsten Gillibrand as ‘Hottest Member’ of the Senate

Posted on by Donald Douglas

I couldn’t pass this up. The main story’s at Politico, with a lengthy thread now building at Memeorandum. The best part is how the lefties are all over the place on this. An outraged Melissa McEwan slams the Democratic Majority Leader, for example: Oh, well, as long as he praised her for her work, then […]

 

Net Neutrality Update

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If you are as worried as I am about the left’s effort to force ever larger amounts of big government onto our lives, then you should be looking into the issue of Net Neutrality. To that end a few times a week I’ll be posting some links and info about Net Neutrality to help you […]

 

Dan Maes, The Republican Candidate For Governor Of Colorado, Should Drop Out Of The Race

Posted on by John Hawkins

Despite the fact that I have long been a fan of Tom Tancredo, when he announced that he was going to put in a third party bid for the governorship of Colorado, I harshly criticized him: Despite the fact that he has a disturbing tendency to go over-the-top and say dumb things on occasion, I […]

 

Desperate for Attention, Michael Moore Joins the Jihad

Posted on by Dave Blount

Remember Michael Moore? Not long ago he was widely acknowledged as the most repugnant moonbat in America. Libs have learned to find less visibly repulsive representatives, apparently leaving Moore desperate for attention: Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore says he has raised over $50,000 for the construction of a mosque and Muslim community center near Ground Zero. […]

 

Hyperpoliticized Army Will Not Tolerate Those Who Don’t Embrace Radical Homosexual Agenda

Posted on by Dave Blount

You can’t destroy America without destroying the mighty American military. Liberals are on the job, using their usual tactic of incremental corrosion. That is, they are going to rot it into a contemptible farce, just as they’ve been doing to the country as a whole. Here’s a report on their progress: Next week, Senate Majority […]

 

Free Home Calling for Any Conservative Candidate/Cause

Posted on by John Hawkins

My friend Aaron Marks is a sharp, conservative tech guru. He goes to Republican events, he works with campaigns, and he really wants to see the GOP do well this year. So, he wants me to help publicize an offer he’s making — and, yes, this is legit: Our Phone From Home platform allows a […]

 

It’s Moronic For Conservatives To Call For A “Truce” On Social Issues

Posted on by John Hawkins

First it was Mitch Daniels who was out in public saying we need a “truce” on moral issues. This was an extraordinarily dumb thing for a man who wants to be President to say because many people, myself included, stuck him in the “I don’t know whom I’m supporting in 2012, but it won’t be […]

 

Newt Gingrich: Winning in ’10 Means Utilizing the Power of 10

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Joe Biden has been telling everyone that will listen to him that the summer of 2010 was “recovery summer.” In a way he was right, but only if we take up the banner and drive the socialists out of office in November. If we can get as many good conservatives and Republicans in office in […]

 

Al Sharpton’s Followers Call Whites ‘The Devil,’ Al Says, ‘Don’t Worry About it’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Al Sharpton is all about stopping the “hate,” isn’t he? At least that’s what he always claims. So how did he react when his own supporters started calling white people “the devil” when a BBC reporter was interviewing him several years ago? He said whites should “ignore it” and “don’t worry about it.” Not only […]
