The Absolution of Barack Obama

Posted on by Donald Douglas

Newsweek‘s Jonathan Alter just doesn’t get it. See, “‘The Illustrated Man’.” Obama’s certainly socialist — or neo-socialist, as Jonah Goldberg has explained — and that’s to say nothing of “terror-coddling.” Our maddening times demand that the truth be forthrightly stated at the outset, and not just that the president has nothing in common with the […]

 

A Glenn Beck Rally and Our Current Culture of Bias

Posted on by Heather Bachman

It is not news to hear that we are in an environment of bias which is fueled by our mainstream media. It is not even news when we hear that people who speak truth are pushed down by this sector. However, a recent situation has forced us to not only see the strength of this […]

 

Unions Prevent Kids from Learning in L.A.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The L.A. Times has been publishing a great series about how the city’s schools have been dropping the ball on education.

Climahypocrite Jesse Jackson’s SUV Stolen

Posted on by William Teach

Seriously, are there any climate alarmists other than Ed Begley, Jr, who aren’t hypocrites? Oh, sorry, my bad, discussing climahypocrites is apparently a deflection from the real issue that climate change will kill us all if everyone else would just stop driving their Cadillac Escalades Add Jesse Jackson’s ride to prominent vehicles being stripped in […]

 

Let’s play: Ironic? Or Not? (part ii)

Posted on by TrogloPundit

Alternate title: And the award for most hilarious example of irony in a major American city goes to…Detroit! Although, as usual, the irony in this story is open to interpretation: Following the embarrassing news that Mayor Dave Bing’s GMC Yukon was hijacked by criminals this week, Detroit’s Channel 7 reports that the Reverend (Jesse Jackson)’s […]

 

The Incredible, Shrinking, Self-Diminishing Presidency

Posted on by Morgan Freeberg

Gary Andres, writing in The Weekly Standard, raises some doubts about our current President; specifically, His correct understanding of His own job: Last week House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio delivered a stinging critique of the Obama administration’s economic policies. But the White House’s swift and tart reaction to Boehner was both illuminating and […]

 

So, The Wage Gap IS True. Only, It’s Men Who Earn Less

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

The Left is still busily trumpeting the fallacy-filled idea of there being a wage gap in favor of men. In fact, the DNC recently sent out an email once again attempting to promulgate this lie, on the 90th Anniversary of Women’s Suffrage, no less. Hey, never waste a Crisis â„¢, real or imagined, and also […]

Fear of Palin Exposes Feminists as Useful Idiots

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

My:  latest op-ed at Human Events The other day I was busily fomenting extremism and evil by home schooling my child and I ended up having to take a break in order to partake in an even further act of extremism: Telling the Truth. I noticed two leftist feminists unwittingly, as always, exposing themselves as […]

 

Violence Soaked AFL-CIO Prez Calls Palin a McCarthyite?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For his Labor Day weekend trick, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka leveled the charge of McCarthyism at former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. This is a bit rich from a guy with blood on his hands — and I don’t say that figuratively, either. At a September 2 meeting sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, Trumka claimed […]

 

Net Neutrality Update

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 […]

 

What Larry David Can Teach The Ground Zero Mosque Defenders: Many Things Are Legal, But Are They Right?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Mark Steyn is back from vacation, has subbed for Rush and was a guest on Hugh Hewitt’s show.

The NAACP Should Disband If This Is All They Have To Complain About

Posted on by John Hawkins

It’s not a secret that the once great NAACP has become little more than a generally useless left-wing organization that works to gin up and amplify racial strife for fun, profit, and political rewards. Unfortunately for the NAACP, America’s not a racist country any more, so it often has to REALLY stretch to find things […]

 

“The American People Are Acting Like A Bunch Of Spoiled Brats”?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Ever notice that the mainstream media only accuses the public of acting like “spoiled brats” or of “throwing a temper tantrum” when liberals get tossed out of office? For example, did you hear anyone in the MSM complaining about the public being angry, irrational, and childish when they voted Republicans out of office in 2006 […]

 

Driving Over the Children Americans Won’t Drive Over

Posted on by Dave Blount

The price of allowing lowlifes who do not belong in this country to live here anyway just went up once again: A young mother and her two toddlers remained hospitalized on Wednesday, one day after a tow truck driver struck them as they were crossing an Oxnard [California] street, dragging the children about one-quarter mile […]

 

New Yorkers Oppose Ground Zero Mosque by Two-Thirds Margin

Posted on by Donald Douglas

Astute Bloggers has the scoop, and it is big. See New York Times, “New York Poll Finds Wariness About Muslim Center.” (And click the image for the full survey.) The most amazing thing here to me is that a full 69 percent of those polled approve of President Barack Obama’s job performance, but an almost […]

Posted on by Dave Blount

It won’t be long before the Holocaust never happened. In France, teaching students about it can already get you suspended: A history teacher has been suspended in France for spending too much time teaching students about the Holocaust.

Terror-Appeasing White House Yet to Announce Plans for Anniversary of 9/11 Attacks

Posted on by Donald Douglas

Figures. See Politico, “Few Options for Barack Obama on 9/11“: Every year it’s a challenge for the White House: how to commemorate the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. This year is especially awkward, given the controversy around President Barack Obama’s remarks in support of an Islamic cultural center and mosque planned for a neighborhood near […]

 

This Week In Quotes: August 27 – Sept 2

Posted on by John Hawkins

(This is a special double edition since I was attending Defending the American Dream and Beck’s Restoring Honor rally last week) I don’t know really how all of this is going to shake out.

Atlanta Post: Obama’s Not Black Enough

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In the if-a-white-guy-said-it department, a black oriented website called The Atlanta Post is featuring a piece by Yvette Carnell headlined, “Obama’s Achilles Heel: He’s Not African-American,” in which Carnell decides that Obama is failing because he isn’t really black enough to make it all work. Further Carnell asserts that Obama can’t convince African Americans that […]

 

Climate Creationists Gates And Pachauri, Massive Climahypocrites

First up today, the head of the UN Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change! RAJENDRA PACHAURI has a chauffeur, lives in […]

 

Politico Again Slaps Bad Vanity Fair Palin Attack

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As we discussed here yesterday Vanity Fair published a badly sourced attack piece on Governor Palin. But the piece is even worse than first thought. As Politico’s Ben Smith discovered, the Vanity Fair piece contained yet another lie passed off as “journalism.” Smith highlighted the part of the VF piece that led the reader to […]

 

Obama And Holder Sue Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Posted on by William Teach

Of course, since the real Sheriff Joe is tough as nails on crime and illegal aliens, he is called “controversial.” Except, there is one problem with why he was sued: it wasn’t for supposed discrimination The U.S. Department of Justice on Thursday sued a controversial and popular Arizona sheriff, alleging that his department was refusing […]
