Tom Tancredo Is Blowing It For Conservatives In Colorado

Posted on by John Hawkins

Despite the fact that he has a disturbing tendency to go over-the-top and say dumb things on occasion, I have a great deal of respect for Tom Tancredo. Had Tanc not picked up the banner and led the charge on illegals early in the game, it’s entirely possible that comprehensive immigration reform would be the […]

Cries Of Racism Are Now Mostly About Politics, Not Race.

Posted on by John Hawkins

If the right forces us all to either defend Wright or tear him down, no matter what we choose, we lose the game they’ve put upon us. Instead, take one of them – Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares – and call them racists. — Spencer Ackerman Tainting the tea party movement with the charge […]

 

Seven Deceptive Mainstream Media Techniques

Posted on by John Hawkins

Just a few decades ago journalism in this country was actually about reporting the facts. Yes, journalists may have leaned to the Left, but at least reporters made an effort to be fair. Today, journalists are more interested in “making a difference” than in any antiquated standards and they play by PRAVDA rules. Every news […]

Partisan Hack-In-Chief Whines About GOP Opposition To Disclose Act

Posted on by William Teach

This is getting truly tiresome. In all my years, I have never seen such a thin skinned partisan sitting in the White House, constantly attacking anyone/any group who opposes his viewpoint. Even Clinton never went this far. High school student body presidents act more presidential than Obama does President Obama called out Senate Republicans on […]

 

Cojone-less In Chief Strikes Again. Lockerbie Bomber’s ‘Compassionate’ Release Preferable To Obama

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

(cross-posted from NewsReal) Last year when the Lockerbie terrorist, Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi, was released, freed to die with compassion — a luxury that his innocent, murdered victims did not have -:  I thought that I was as angry as I could ever be. I must admit that I was wrong. You see, it seems […]

Educrats Demand That Student Renounce Christianity, Endorse Depravity

Posted on by Dave Blount

It isn’t an accident that nearly everyone in the education establishment subscribes to the same degenerate ideology.

“Objective” News Journalists: Let’s Coordinate For Obama

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Some things are really so stupid. I mean, why go through the trouble of spelling out the implied purpose of the Journolist? If the lefties wanted to help George W. Bush, for example, they wouldn’t have been on a list of progressives. The list discriminated based upon ideology. Obviously, they were talking, coordinating coverage, honing […]

A Glimpse Of America’s Future Health Care In Britain It’s not so much that Barack Obama’s promises come with expiration dates as it is that he’ll say anything to get his way without the slightest care about whether what he’s saying is true or not. Never was this more true than when it came to […]

 

Are There Two Different Classes Of Illegal Immigrants?

Posted on by William Teach

Some food for thought on this Monday morning from the Wall Street Journal There is a widespread perception of a strong link between immigrants and crime.

A ‘Shower of Hateful Epithets Outside Capitol Hill’? – Well, No Actually … And a Correction

Posted on by Donald Douglas

It’s not everyday that MSM outlets correct their bogus “racist” slurs against the tea parties, but the New York Times made a correction today to one recent report.

Neoconservatism: An Obituary for an Idea

Posted on by Donald Douglas

I’m about half way through C. Bradley Thompson’s new book, Neoconservatism: An Obituary for an Idea. Yeah, it’s an attack on neoconservatism, by one who was sympathetic to the ideology at one time. It’s an excellent read, although I disagree with its conclusions, and it’ll take me some thinking to put those disagreements in more […]

 

Charlie Rangel (D-NY) Epitome of Most Ethical Congress Ever! Plus, Racism!

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

My latest post at David Horowitz’s NewsReal: By most ethical Congress ever, I of course mean the total opposite. Much like the claims of the most transparent administration ever — in Obama-era Newspeak terms, you must just assume the opposite to be true.

Imam Feisal and the Ground Zero Mosque

Posted on by Donald Douglas

It’s amusing that Charles Johnson, who was once perhaps the country’s lead anti-jihad blogger, has done a 180 degree turn, and is now an apologist for radical Islam. Here’s his post today (at a Google-safe link): “An Interview with the Lead Developer of Park51.” C.J. smears Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer (and their supporters) as […]
