Posted on by William Teach

Imam Rauf, who could have avoided all this by simply not putting the “cultural center” right near Ground Zero (btw, does anyone, other than gullible liberals, actually believe that the center will allow “separate prayer space for…..Christians, Jews and men and women of other faiths”? Good luck with that). But, hey, now that this is […]

 

Appeals Court Sides With Bush Obama Administration on Seizure of Terror Suspects

Posted on by Donald Douglas

I had to catch myself for a second. Sides with the Obama administration on terrorist rendition? The ruling is on “extraordinary rendition,” of course. The policy for which leftists wanted Bush administration war crimes trials. And now we’ve got Barack Obama in power continuing the policy. Hey, way to “regain America’s moral stature in the […]

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Sarah Palin says on her Facebook page: Book burning is antithetical to American ideals. People have a constitutional right to burn a Koran if they want to, but doing so is insensitive and an unnecessary provocation — much like building a mosque at Ground Zero. I would hope that Pastor Terry Jones and his supporters […]

Posted on by John Hawkins

…race in Delaware. Now, I wasn’t planning to write a third post about this issue, but this gets into one of my pet peeves: Ultimately, You don’t change the country for the better by losing elections.

What Liberals Say vs What they Mean

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Many of us have been raised to think that words mean things. Then there’s Democrats. From those infamous phrases like “It depends on what the definition of what ‘is’ is” of yore to the newfangled “man-caused disasters” of today, Democrats have so abused the English language as to make it completely unrecognizable to Mr. Johnson.

U.S. College Pushes Anti-American, Pro-Islam Book

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We send our students to college to learn what they need to know to become good American citizens. From this knowledge we hope that they will realize useful, maybe even successful, lives. Perhaps they’ll even gain personal improvement through introspection from it all. At least that’s what we used to think. Apparently, these days we […]

Some Insurers To Raise Rates As Direct Result Of ObamaCare

Posted on by William Teach

Did Democrats really think there would be no rate hikes due to their monstrous legislation, which most probably didn’t read? Health insurers say they plan to raise premiums for some Americans as a direct result of the health overhaul in coming weeks, complicating Democrats’ efforts to trumpet their signature achievement before the midterm elections. Aetna […]

 

Rights

Posted on by Lee Doren

I often hear my critics say that people should have a Right to something like Housing, Food or Shelter. Declaring something a Right does nothing to provide a good or service for someone. It simply makes people feel morally superior. I would rather have people provided with goods or services, without a right to it. […]

Some “Summer of recovery.” Al Sharpton is one of America’s most successful shakedown artists and even he can’t pay his bills.

Moonbats like to use the word “unsustainable.” How’s this for unsustainable? A jobless couple rake in £95,000 in state benefits a year — and even have breakfast delivered to the door each morning, courtesy of the taxpayer. The money — five times the starting salary of a teacher — goes to unemployed Pete and Sam […]

Mike Castle Vs. Christine O’Donnell: How I Decide Which Candidate To Support In A Primary

Posted on by John Hawkins

The Mike Castle vs. Christine O’Donnell primary is getting people all tied up in knots. You see, Delaware is a tiny, liberal state. Democrats have a 44% to 32% advantage in party registration, Obama has a 55% approval rating there, and there hasn’t been a Republican in the Senate there for almost 40 years. Because […]

 

Republicans: 2010 Was The Year To Fight, Not Flee

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

At the beginning of this primary season, way back a thousand years is what it feels like, I made a decision: Support every conservative in every race everywhere no matter what. Why? Because if there was ever a year where a conservative could get elected, it would be this year. Some races weren’t so obvious. […]

 

Stadium Deal in LA a Moneypit

Whenever I think of this new Staples sports stadium deal going down in Los Angeles I can’t help but think of the “bread and circuses” that contributed to the fall of the Roman Empire.
