Social Security Staggers Toward Collapse

Posted on by Dave Blount

Liberals often point to Social Security as the definitive accomplishment of collectivism in America. Sure it required their idol Franklin Roosevelt to set himself up as a dictator and steamroll over the Constitution, but it was worth it to guarantee that no one needs to take responsibility for their own retirement plans. Few realize just […]

 

Jury Damage Award Could Close Calif. Healthcare Facilities

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

When companies are found to have violated regulations that govern their industry, is it right that a jury of non-experts can award damages the amount of which will wipe the company off the face of the earth? That is a question that has been raised in a case recently decided against Skilled Healthcare LLC of […]

 

The Ultimate Irony: A Despicable Race Hustler Like Shirley Sherrod Is Being Hailed As A Racial Role Model

Posted on by John Hawkins

It’s fascinating to see Shirley Sherrod being lionized as some sort of hero because after she racially discriminated against a white farmer, she had a change of heart. Would any conservative be treated as a hero for doing the same thing or would the Left sneer and refuse to believe that she changed her stripes? […]

 

Exclusive To RWN: The GOP House Leadership Speaks Out On Defunding And Repealing Health Care Reform

Posted on by John Hawkins

The centerpiece of Barack’s Obama first two years in office has been the health care reform that the Democratic Party shoved through Congress over the objections of the Republican Party and the American people. Not only was the legislation unpopular when it was passed, polls have consistently shown that the American people want to see […]

 

Laugh Riot: Obama Will Sign Government Waste Bill Thursday

Posted on by William Teach

No, seriously, he will, and he seems really geared up for it!

Top Ten most Left-Biased American Journalists – #2: Joe Klein, Time Magazine

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Second place looms large and it is quite an honorable — or maybe onerous — award on our top ten most left-biased working American journalists list. Amusingly our number two guy even graduated from a school that foretold his future work. From the bowels of New York’s exclusive Hackley School comes our number two most […]

 

New Captain America Movie: Dear America, I’m Just Not That Into You

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A few months ago I wrote an expose on Marvel’s Captain America comics number 602 in which the writers and artists of the book portrayed Captain America saying that Tea Party groups in America are racist and dangerous. It looks like the makers of next year’s Captain America movie in Hollywood have taken that Cappy-against-America […]

 

Shirley Sherrod: “I’m A Victim Of Racism”

Posted on by William Teach

Yesterday, I had a second post ready to go about about racism, which included a bit from Ben Smith’s article about Obama being pretty lame on the subject (Melissa Clouthier covers that story this morning.) However, since there were several other posts about racism up at Right Wing News (I cross post the first two […]

 

AEI: More Unions Means Fewer Jobs

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In April Lee Ohanian of the American Enterprise Institute published a paper on the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) that is a must read. But this month he published a shorter piece that is just as interesting. In it, Ohanian claims that if we increased unionism as the Obamaites want to do, we’d actually lose […]

 

The Race Ruse: Racism Hasn’t Been About Race For A Long Time Now

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Racism has been about this: Mary Frances Berry Professor of American Social Thought and History, U. Penn. : Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many […]

 

Have We Forgotten Everything Martin Luther King Jr. Taught Us?

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

I got really sad yesterday. Really sad. Writing about politics is never really uplifting, but I don’t like false narratives, and I feel compelled to fight against them. Sometimes I get excited, frustrated, disappointed, or furious. But I rarely get sad. But I was sad. This is why. I was 8 years old in Jackson, […]

 

What The Heck Is A “Displaced Foreign Traveler?”

Posted on by William Teach

When it comes to illegals, Liberals are just getting truly silly. Redding.com picks up the story of one Gauldry Almonte-Hernandez, recounting how he made it all the way to mountains of Trinity County, California, perhaps after spending some time at the zoo and doing all sorts of touristy things, found himself at a marijuana camp, […]

 

Leftists At Loyola: Group Thinking “Educators” Block Karl Rove From Speaking

Journolist IS A Big Deal: Check Out Who We Know Is On The List So Far

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

The smarty pants set, breezily dismiss the contents of Journolist, the group made up of hundreds of mainstream journalists, bloggers, activists and Democrat policy wonks. The reasoning goes this way: how is it shocking that a bunch of like-minded people want to get together and chat? I mean, that’s just human. They’re young and liberal […]

 

Note to White House: Stop Obsessing With Fox News

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

Let’s hope we all learned the lesson we should have from the Sherrod affair (see post below if you aren’t familiar with it). The lesson is that both sides need to stop with the deeming those that disagree with them as “racist.” The left needs to stop trying to paint the Tea Party as racist. […]

The Crazed Sex Poodle Has Apparently Tried To Hump More Than One Masseuse’s Leg

Posted on by John Hawkins

Back when the “Al Gore, Giggling Crazed Sex Poodle” massage that almost turned into a sexual assault scandal broke, there were some questions about whether the masseuse was telling the truth. Granted, her story sounded plausible — and creepy. But let’s face it: In this 15 minutes of fame, reality show, lawsuit lottery culture, you […]

 

Liberal Journalists Discussed Having Government Shut Down Fox News

Posted on by Dave Blount

The Daily Caller has released more chilling revelations from Journolist, where establishment journalists let it all hang out, believing that no one who isn’t a militant moonbat can hear them.

Natives Get Restless Over Outrageously Lavish Public Sector Salaries

Posted on by Dave Blount

Out of work? Had to take a pay cut?

Top Ten most Left-Biased American Journalists – #3: Paul Krugman, The New York Times

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Number three on our list almost violates the criteria that I set up in the first piece I wrote for this series. I said then that denizens of the Old Media that are too much a “cartoon of journalism” would not be included on my list. Yet despite my dismissal of such Old Media clowns, […]

 

Lazy Union Hires Scabs to Protest For Them

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Disrupting a business and trying to extort them for undeserved riches is a tough job. It really makes a union thug tired, you know? So, what to do, what to do? Well, because protesting an employer is such tiring work, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council of Carpenters Union came up with the perfect solution: hire non-union […]

 

Why are We Suprised?

Posted on by Heather Bachman

Just around MemoGate I was an aspiring reporter who was prepping for a career in investigative journalism. In my spare time, I had a political Internet radio program called The Conservative Watchdog.

Mr. Do As I Say Not As I Do has some humorous “advice” for federal workers (via Planet Gore) President Barack Obama wants federal workers to cut down on business travel and commuting by car as he seeks to reduce heat-trapping emissions produced by the federal government. The White House was announcing Tuesday […]

 

ABC News: All You Folks Against Illegals Are Raaaaacist

Posted on by William Teach

Once again, a media outlet builds a cute little strawman argument regarding the illegal immigration debate. They know they do not have a leg to stand on, and it would not be particularly popular, if they tried their real argument, namely, that they are in favor of saying “screw the law, we want new voters.” […]

 

Don’t Shed Any Tears For Shirley Sherrod

Posted on by John Hawkins

For those of you unfamiliar with the story, let’s take it from the beginning. The NAACP decided to smear the Tea Party as racists. Like many Americans, Andrew Breitbart didn’t take kindly to something that has become a daily ritual during the Obama Administration — conservatives being falsely denounced as racists. However, unlike most other […]
