Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston Unbelievable. In Oregon the reg’lar folks are losing their jobs right and left.

James Lee Is The Environmentalist Movement’s Scott Roeder

Posted on by John Hawkins

Unfortunately, there are dangerous kooks, trigger-happy wackos, and lone gunmen out there. Bad people exist. Crazy people exist — and every so often, one of them snaps and there’s a resulting body count. To most people, this is just a tragic fact of life. However, to liberals in the media who are forever baffled by […]

 

Because I Can’t Resist: On McConnell’s Leadership Assurance

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Short answer: Whatever. Nothing is assured in this climate. Long answer: I’ll get to it in a minute. First, Ace says this: I’d bet on McConnell, but I wouldn’t bet much. FWIW, I think… I’m meh on him. I don’t dislike him, I don’t resent him, I understand the need for tactics and stuff, but […]

 

Federal Bureauweenies Crack Down on Chuck E. Cheese

Posted on by Dave Blount

One front in Big Government’s war on free enterprise is a bizarre intimidation campaign intended to browbeat companies that market food kids like. The Federal Trade Commission is once again handing out subpoenas to companies that market food to children and teens. Three years after initially delivering what is technically known as “orders to file […]

 

Gulf Rig Bombing: I Blame The Media And Environmental Wackos

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Darleen Glick over at one of my favorite websites Protein Wisdom writes this: Now, what won’t you see from the MSM about James Jay Lee? You won’t see Katie Couric worrying about Lee’s possible ties to Moveon or SEIU or ACORN. You won’t see Frank Rich writing about how MSNBC and Leftwing Radio have produced […]

Another Obama White House Lie About Islam

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remember that iftar dinner the president sponsored? The dinner that got him in trouble because he came out in strong support of the mega-mosque at Ground Zero, support from which he backed away the very next day? Well, it turns out he delivered another blatant lie at that dinner, one that slipped under the radar […]

 

Liberals To Try Their Own National Mall Rally

Posted on by William Teach

This should all end in tears. Or hilarity. Whichever Labor leaders, liberal religious leaders and the NAACP will hold a rally on the National Mall on October 2, one month before the fall midterm elections, in an attempt to show they too have political clout and momentum in response to last Saturday’s massive gathering of […]

 

Calif. Unions Already Spent $14 Million In Elections

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The L.A. Times recently reported that in California unions have already spent $14 million to defeat Republicans in California’s coming elections. This is what any Republican has to face anywhere in the country, though not always at such a high spending rate. The fact is that when Republicans run for office they face not only […]

 

Good News! Illegal Immigration Has Dropped To Only 300,000 Per Year!

Posted on by William Teach

If we were being uncharitable, we could probably assign a motive to the Washington Post for publishing this story, but, hey, it’s early morning, and the article seems to avoid partisan rancor, so A deep recession and tougher border enforcement have led to a sharp decline in the number of immigrants entering the United States […]

 

Biden Gives Bush Administration Credit for Iraq Surge Success – Not!

Posted on by Donald Douglas

I’ve laid out a full analysis here: “Biden Grudgingly Credits Bush on Success of Iraq Surge.” But check the clip. Man, this guy is hatin’ it! Can’t give the dreaded Bush neocons the slightest acknowledgement of firmness and resolve, not to mention pragmatism and smarts:

 

Environmental Wack-o-Doodle James Lee Goes Gonzo In Maryland

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

But his gun wielding, hostage-taking crazy is most certainly NOT motivated by politics. He’s just, you know, crazy. Because crazy people do things when they’re on the left–they have good intentions, don’t you know, they just go a wee bit too far. James Lee’s MySpace Account is titled WorldGuardian: love the world, hate people. He […]

 

UCLA Cans Professor James Enstrom for Thought Crimes

Posted on by Dave Blount

Under a hard tyranny, if professional intellectuals fail to toe the official line, they are imprisoned or killed. What happens to them in a soft tyranny? Ask Dr. James Enstrom, a professor at UCLA who has been fired for thought crimes: Enstrom, an epidemiologist at UCLA’s School of Public Health, … says his studies show […]

 

Moonbat Professor Calls for Forced Sterilization

Posted on by Dave Blount

After Germans got carried away applying progressive ideology to the Jewish Question, the movement has backed away from eugenics, limiting its genocidal proclivities to the aggressive promotion of abortion. But to this day, if you scratch a liberal (as progressives now call themselves), you will often find a Nazi. For example, Professor David Marsland wants […]

 

The Right Side Of The Blogosphere’s Reaction To Obama’s Speech Last Night

Posted on by John Hawkins

All in all, the only person on the Right that I found who seemed to like the speech was Bill Kristol — and he didn’t exactly heap rainbows, faeries, and fluffy unicorn bellyscratches on it either. That being said, it’s also worth noting that while the reviews were almost universally negative, they weren’t all that […]

 

Paul Ryan: Obamanomics Has Failed

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Congressman Paul Ryan (R, Wis) and former Congressional Budget Office Director Doug Holtz-Eakin came together early this week to lambaste Obama’s failed economic policies. In a conference call to supporters and the press, CBO Director Holtz-Eakin said that there is “no evidence” that “the stimulus has really worked” and that Obama’s Keynesian fixes simply won’t […]

 

Chatty Kathy Parker Compares Beck’s Restoring Honor Rally To A 12 Step Program

Posted on by William Teach

Generally, most of the major tools on the Internet are ignored, yet, everyone once in a while they write something so incredibly so mindless, so half no-witted, so perfidious, that it needs to be exposed. Here’s Kathleen Parker’s bit of complete idiocy: My name is Glenn Beck, and I need help Despite all the words […]

 

Muslim Groups Ask DOJ To Hold Haters Accountable

Posted on by William Teach

Free speech? What Free Speech?

This Just In: Washington Post’s Milbank Admits He’s a Lefty, But…

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It almost sounds like the set up to a “guy walks into a bar” joke — or maybe a knock-knock joke — but the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank made an assessment of his own political ideology that can’t help but draw a laugh. As WaPo columnist Howard Kurtz reports, Milbank is being moved to the […]

 

Terrorist Trial Run Intercepted: Arrests Made

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Good grief. Once again, allowed on the plane: Two men taken off a Chicago-to-Amsterdam United Airlines flight in the Netherlands have been charged by Dutch police with “preparation of a terrorist attack,” U.S. law enforcement officials tell ABC News. U.S. officials said the two appeared to be travelling with what were termed “mock bombs” in […]

 

Meanwhile, Back At The Newly Redesigned Oval Office, President Obama Acts Churlish

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Bleh. Andrew Malcolm has the text of the speech along with some interestingly placed photos–I do believe he’s learned picture placement art from Drudge. My thoughts on the speech? Petty, small, graceless, and ultimately irrelevant. The American people know what’s up in Iraq. This speech wasn’t for them. It was for the Democrat base that […]

 

BREAKING: Murkowski Concedes in Alaska

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Another one of Mitch McConnell’s favorites just went down in flames as Senator Lisa Murkowski just bowed to Alaska’s new GOP candidate for Senate, Joe Miller. Miller is far more conservative than Murkowski who was vying for the Ted Stevens award for pork. As the New York Times says… Mr. Miller shocked the political establishment […]

 

Obama Ends Operation Iraqi Freedom

Posted on by Donald Douglas

Follow up to John’s essay: “My Short, Obligatory Obama Speech Review.” *********** I anticipated the president’s address in my previous post, “President Barack Obama Claims Credit on Iraq War.” I can’t add too much here, except to reiterate that I’m ashamed at Obama’s political posturing. I’m ashamed at Obama’s political opportunism, and I wish for […]
