Federal Lawsuit Against Arizona Expected To Be Filed Today

Oil is beginning to wash up on Florida beaches, and is still streaming out of the blown pipe. Unemployment is not getting better, and more and more economists are worried not about a double dip recession, but, the next Great Depression. HHS is missing deadlines to implement ObamaCare (that’s a good thing, it just shows […]

 

Democrats Need to Explain Themselves on Jobs, Stimulus, and Unemployment (without Blame Shifting)

Original post at 73wire.com The Hill: reports: that President Obama, Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and other Democrats have gone back into economic crisis mode: Obama urged congressional leaders in mid-June to pass an extension of tax breaks and unemployment benefits, and up to $50 billion in aid for states and local governments. Without Congress acting, Obama […]

 

California Girls Holiday Blogging!

A day-after holiday roundup from American Power. At left is a good friend of mine, doing a little ’60s-revival partying for the 4th: See: * “Tea Parties and the Constitution.” * “Man Blows Off Arm While Launching Illegal Fireworks.” * “Matthew Rothschild at The Progressive – ‘I Don’t Believe in Patriotism’.” * “Queers Against Israeli […]

 


Clearly, these reporters don’t understand how ObamaCare works.

And not just ObamaCare, but government programs in general. See, the problem is: people have trouble accessing health care. Thus, we need government programs. Those government programs will grant the access that the free market failed to grant. That’s how it works. Government provides. And yet, we get stories like: Emergency rooms, the only choice […]

 

Keynsian putzery.

Caveat: Paul Krugman is a Nobel-prize-winning Doctor of Economics, and I’m not. I have great respect for economics and the people who study it. This makes me hesitant to argue with Krugman. It also, however, causes me pain when he writes such seemingly inane sentences as: Yes, America has long-run budget problems, but what we […]

 

Stimulus Funds Go to Busing in Mexicans for Free Educations

How convenient for Mexican bandits that they no longer have to ride around under the desert sun with heavy bandoliers slung across their chests. With our quisling rulers on their side, looting us is so easy, children can do it. Our liberal kleptocracy confiscates taxpayer money to bus in Mexicans from across the border for […]

 

Pelosi: Paying People to Do Nothing Stimulates Economy

Through excessive taxes and regulations, our socialist rulers are creating an economic climate in which finding a job is unlikely, but fortunately no one needs a job with Big Government there to hand you other people’s money as unemployment compensation forever and ever. As an added benefit, paying people to sit at home watching TV […]

 


In Florida Schools, Bibles Banned… On Religious Freedom Day

A group called Liberty Counsel is suing Florida’s Collier County Schools for banning Bibles from being distributed on its campuses even after allowing the practice for years. The organization World Changers has been distributing Bibles to students during off-school hours on the day closest to national Religious Freedom Day — held on January 16 — […]

 

Obama Fairness? White House Staffers See Amazingly Unequal Pay

In January one of the early “successes” of the White House was the Lilly Ledbetter Act, legislation that was supposed to insure equal pay “for everybody.” Apparently, as in all Obama’s pronouncements, the outcome of Obama’s drive for “fairness” is rarely as advertised. In this case, some people are more equal than others at least […]

 

Let the Majority Rule as Long as It’s a Democrat Majority

Original post at 73wire.com In an interview with the Huffington Post, Democrat House Speaker called for an end to the Senate filibuster for the new Congress convening in January 2011.:  But just how realistic is San Fran Nan?:  And will she think the same if when the Republicans take over Congress?:  Surely she must remember […]

 

Surprise! Republicans ‘Racist’ for No Vote on Unemployment Extension

I almost spoke too soon. Just after mentioning that I hadn’t found too many anti-American blogs dissing 4th of July, here we have Zandar the Stupid smearing traditional Americans as racist for opposing the left’s move to create an unemployment benefit entitlement. Paul Krugman slams folks like this as “heartless” and “clueless.” But Sir Stupid […]

 

Shocker! Conservatives More Patriotic Than Liberals

And, by shocker, I mean I gave serious consideration to whether I even wanted to write a post on this poll. I don’t write about water being wet, do I? Conservatives are more than twice as likely as liberals to express very: strong patriotism, according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll in which 48 percent of […]

 



Holiday Blogging

A roundup of 4th of July posts at American Power. * Read the Declaration of Independence here: “Independence Day 2010.” * Holiday thoughts for the minority party under Obamanation: “Political Opposition.” * A fantastic 4th of July Twitter find: “Best Politically Incorrect Tweep Evah!” * On the farce of modern Supreme Court nominations: “Elena Kagan […]

 


CNN/Money Does 100 Great Things About America-Happy July 4th!

Forget politics today, let the hardcore progressives do their typical thing (whoops, that was kinda political). CNN/Money makes a list of 100 great things about America, and, as they say, they are in no particular order (which was good, since I was about to blast them for #1 on the list). What are some of […]

 





Lindsey Graham — When Ego Gets in the Way Of History

Oh, Lindsey, Lindsey, what in the name of all that’s holy are you talking about? On four occasions, [South Carolina Senator Lindsey] Graham met with Tea Party groups. The first, in his Senate office, was “very, very contentious,” he recalled. During a later meeting, in Charleston, Graham said he challenged them: “ ‘What do you […]

 

A Marxist indictment of capitalism — and why the indictment must be wrong

The Anchoress posted at her blog a semi-animated video by a self-avowed Marxist explaining why Marxism, not capitalism, will save the world. I have to admit that I didn’t watch it. It wasn’t the content that drove me away, it was the choppy visuals, which trigger migraines. Having just beaten back a migraine, I wasn’t […]

 

There’s just no keeping these people happy. Or: The Ozone Layer, Friend or Menace?

Good news: the ozone layer is growing back to what it was, pre-human screwitupititis: While the hole in the Earth’s protective ozone layer is slowly healing, its recovery might have a downside, scientists say: Climate change could change wind patterns and send ozone from high in the atmosphere down to the surface, where it is […]

 


It does sound like a dumb law. Dumb, but not impossible.

You’ve probably seen this exchange between Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Awesome) and SCOTUS nominee Elena Kagan already: Coburn asks: If I wanted to sponsor a bill, and it said Americans, you have to eat three vegetables and three fruits every day. And I got it through Congress and it’s now the law of the land. Gotta […]

 

A New Declaration of Independence for a New Revolution

America is fast coming to a crossroads from which there will be no return if we take the wrong path. Do we take the road that leads away from America and toward a Euro-esque way of governing? Do we cast aside our American character and bury our great nation in a grave of socialist-styled authority? […]

 

Wash Post Forgets to Mention that Writer Is Obama Operative

Ron Brynaert has a story over at his The Raw Story blog that reveals yet another denizen of the Old Media that is trying to be both a “journalist” and an official operative of Barack Obama’s White House. She is Patricia McGinnis, an unpaid advisor at the White House and also one of the contributors […]
