Many of them have seemed to have turned a corner in wondering just what the heck the Obama administration and Congressional Democrats are doing The economic expansion is sputtering.

Nixon Era Global Warming Documents Send Alarmists Into Orgasm

Posted on by William Teach

And by documents, I mean a total of three, only two of which mention CO2, and were asking for serious, real scientific inquiry into the matter, but, they have sent the climate alarmists in the media into orgasm. Both the AP and MSNBC have great spin on these documents, among others. Let’s look at the […]

 

My 30 Fave Personal Tweets For June

Posted on by John Hawkins

* My corollary to Godwin’s Law: “At some point or another, every single person on the internet will be called a Nazi.” * People too often tend to ascribe evil motives to acts better explained by carelessness, stupidity, and thoughtlessness. * Americans say they want bipartisanship in DC. But, what they reward is brutal partisanship […]

 

Assimilation and the Founding Fathers

Posted on by Donald Douglas

At Michelle’s (via): In his immigration speech on Thursday, President Obama heralded America as a “nation of immigrants” defined not by blood or birth, but by “fidelity to the shared values that we all hold so dear.” If only it were so. Left-wing academics and activists spurned assimilation as a common goal long ago. Their […]

 

Profiles in Countermoonbattery: Tony La Russa

Posted on by Dave Blount

The St. Louis Cardinals’ Tony La Russa isn’t just one of the greatest managers in the history of baseball. He’s a true American, with the spine to defy the liberal establishment by speaking in favor of freedom of expression and the rule of law. Here he is standing with supporters of Arizona’s SB1070: Predictably, the […]

 

Libs Sneer at Men Who Grieve for Their Aborted Children

Posted on by Dave Blount

Progressives are at their most depraved and nakedly evil when expressing their contempt for human life. The concept of sympathy cards for men who lose children to abortion has induced liberal blogger Amanda Marcotte to cough up this clot of bile: Anti-choicers [are] pretending that they just discovered they oppose abortion because it violates men’s […]

 

Daley’s Newest Stab at a Gun Ban

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Daley’s temper tantrum against guns continues, but at a much subdued pace. With its recent McDonald v the City of Chicago ruling the Supreme Court of the United States essentially made Daley’s outright gun ban unconstitutional so the mayor has had to retrench and come up with new onerous rules to try and limit guns […]

 

Democrats Continue to Use Tax $ to Pay Union Members to do Union Business

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Once again Democrats decided that it was a good idea to pay workers of federal employee unions 100% of their salary to do union business during work hours instead of doing the job they were hired for. That’s right, instead of paying these federal employees to do the job we the people hired them to […]

From my good friend, Maj. Steven Givler, “New Home for My Paintings.” Lots more fabulous paintings at the link. And on this holiday weekend I take pride in reposting Steven’s e-mail to me from April 4, 2009: Sir, Thank you for your blog.

Blog Headline of the Morning (Regarding [EXPLETIVE] Andres Serrano)

Posted on by Donald Douglas

And I get a lot of flak from leftists for posting Sports Illustrated swimsuit hotties? Go figure. At Althouse, “Andres ‘Piss Christ’ Serrano as a guest judge on “Work of Art: The Next Great Artist.” And click through to the original article.

Oh, Snap! ObamaCare High Risk Pool Already Moving Towards Fail Status

Posted on by William Teach

Hey, you know that high risk pool ObamaCare mandated, and just started accepting applications Thursday, July 1st? How’s that working out? The Obama administration has not ruled out turning sick people away from an insurance program created by the new healthcare law to provide coverage for the uninsured. Critics of the $5 billion high-risk pool […]

 

Friday Stupid: Is Pelosi Getting Drunk Before Appearances?

Posted on by William Teach

It’s funny. The left is accusing John Boehner of drinking in bars every night (where was the concern with Ted Kennedy?) Perhaps they should be more concerned about Pelosi knocking back a few shots of Mezcal prior to speaking appearances Unemployment benefits are creating jobs faster than practically any other program, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi […]

 

Leftist Hate Mail of the Day

Posted on by Donald Douglas

Leftist totalitarianism on display — and these these are popping up more frequently around here, from the comments to my recent smackdown of fail-blogger Blue Texan at Firedoglake: Wow – had no idea there was this kind of inbred stupidity burning so bright in the States. Here’s the deal teatard – remember November 2008? Yeah […]

 

Obama’s Speech in Racine Channeled Thomas Sowell circa 1996, (and not in a good way)

Posted on by Duane Lester

If you are not a fan of Thomas Sowell, you should be. A few years ago, I read his book, “Vision of the Anointed.” There was one particular section of the book that stuck with me, and it is especially relevant considering the speech President Obama gave yesterday in Racine, Wisconsin. Here is what the […]

 

Dear McClatchy: If It’s Not the Jones Act, Then What Is Causing the Delayed Response to the Oil Spill?

Posted on by SusanAnne Hiller

Original post at 73wire.com The reflexive nature of the press to defend and attack any critic of President Obama is eerily statist. I found an interesting read via the HotAir headlines: from McClatchy, which defends Obama’s action of not waiving the Jones Act of 1920.:  While the article brings up good points, I will admit, it […]

 

A Short, Obligatory Post On An Elena Kagan Filibuster

Posted on by John Hawkins

Elena Kagan is a pretty typical liberal judge — by that, I mean that she cares nothing about the Constitution and she’ll vote whichever way she believes will most help the Left. In other words, she’ll be little different from Stevens, Sotomayor, and Breyer, as opposed to Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, and Alito who stick to […]

 

Politico Misleads on NJ Gov. Chiristie’s Immigration Position

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This morning Ben Smith of Politico posted a story that essentially mislead readers about what newfound conservative hero Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey thought about immigration. Smith’s article spun Christie into an “amnesty” supporter when it doesn’t seem he is. One has to wonder why Smith did this? Among many other issues, in the […]

The Republicans Should Call Obama’s Bluff On Illegal Immigration

Posted on by John Hawkins

Today, Barack Obama gave a speech on immigration that was solelymotivated by politics . Keep in mind that even the Democrats admit that they don’t have the votes in the House or the Senate to pass a comprehensive immigration bill. So, what is Obama saying? Seeking to inject urgency into the push for an overhaul […]

 

Why Dems Won’t Let Republicans Visit the Gulf

Posted on by Dave Blount

The thugs running the Democrat Party — and by extension, our country — have forbidden Republicans from visiting the mess Obama’s incompetence and/or malignance has caused in the Gulf: Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) wanted to fly 10 lawmakers down to the Gulf of Mexico to see the damage caused by BP’s gigantic oil spill first […]

 

Prehistoric Climate Change Deniers Started Both Global Warming and Global Cooling by Oppressing Mammoths

Posted on by Dave Blount

If you follow through on environmentalist ideology, it isn’t only modern man who is evil and must be scrubbed from the planet — it’s the entire human race. Even noble savages were a blemish before the eyes of Gaia. For example, cavemen started global warming by hunting mammoths: Mammoths used to roam modern-day Russia and […]

 

Obama Wants to Talk Energy… Well, Except for BP Spill

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On one hand the administration and its cohorts in the Democrat majority want to use the BP oil spill as an excuse to wildly raise taxes on energy, to instill cap and trade, and to excuse more regulations in order to take control of as much of our national economy as possible, yet on the […]

 

Dems Include Union Bailout in War Funding Bill

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

There is no other aspect of Washington D.C. that upsets voters more than government spending surreptitiously added on to spending bills and this week Congress indulged its inner drunken sailor once again by adding a $10 billion bailout for teachers unions in the bill that is supposed to fund the war effort. The teacher union […]

 

Interviewing Andrew McCarthy About Radical Islam

Posted on by John Hawkins

National Review’s Andrew McCarthy is more familiar with radical Islam than your average person. He had to be. He was the lead attorney on the team that prosecuted Omar Abdel Rahman, the “Blind Sheikh,” way back in 1995. McCarthy and I got together to talk about his new book, “The Grand Jihad: How Islam and […]

Portland Police Reopen Sexual Assault Case Against Al Gore

Posted on by William Teach

Someone could be in really big trouble, and it could potentially be rather hard for Gore to push his brand of globull warming alarmism from a court room, and potentially, a jail cell Portland police said Wednesday that they will reopen and investigate a massage therapist’s allegations that former Vice President Al Gore sexually assaulted […]
