Paypal: Opposing Radical Islam Is Hate Speech?

Posted on by John Hawkins

This week-end, Paypal dropped the hammer on Atlas Shrugs. Here’s Pamela Geller explaining what happened, The little money that Atlas generates (I have no large donors) is about to be cut off. Apparently the jihad is hard at work trying to kill free speech (and the bus ads and the 911 no mosque movement), preventing […]

 

Psst…hey, how much will you pay me to fill out these forms to get the government to pay you?

Posted on by TrogloPundit

There’s a finite amount of stuff, see, so somehow, someway, we have to distribute it among all the people who want it. Some people believe that having the government do that job will lead to fairness — a highly educated, expert bureaucrat can decide what goes where and when (and, possibly, why) more efficiently than […]

 

Terrorists Rejoice: YouTube Pulls Pro-Israeli Video

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In the week following the Israeli boarding of boats piloted by Turkish “peace activists” off the coast of Gaza Caroline Glick and the good folks at the Hebrew language Israeli news site Latma created a parody video skewering the violent actions perpetrated by those “peace activists” against members of the Israeli authorities attempting to enforce […]

 

Native Americans Lost the Indian Wars

Posted on by Donald Douglas

Stogie left a nice compliment yesterday, suggesting that my “posts lately are substance on steroids!” I’m flattered. It’s kinda funny, though, since all I’m really doing sometimes is just putting down what’s on my mind instead of posting what others have written. Anyway, I was thinking of that “steroids” remark just now while reading the […]

 

Hey, Did You Know Jerry Brown Compared The Whitman Campaign To The Nazi’s?

Posted on by William Teach

Probably not. Since Jerry Brown is a Democrat and Meg Whitman a Republican, all his comment earned was, for the most part, brief blurbs in the California media. Imagine the reverse. That’s right, it would be wall to wall coverage Jerry Brown’s campaign for California governor continues to suffer fallout from off-the-cuff comments he made […]

McConnell for Colorado: He Loves Guns and The U.S.A…. not so big on the U.N. (Video)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I have to say, I find it somewhat amazing to see the sort of campaign videos we’ve been seeing of late. They are hard-nosed, straight-forward, REAL American styled campaign spots. I can’t imagine any time in our past when such hard-core American sentiment would have been evident in campaign commercials like this. Here is one […]

 

Democrats, running for Governor, sounding like Republicans: a Wisconsin tradition

Posted on by TrogloPundit

This weekend, Wisconsin Democrats on their way to their state convention may drive right past this billboard, put there by the state GOP: Ha! Get it? Tom Barrett, former congressman and current Mayor of Milwaukee, is the likely Dem nominee for Governor. Us Republicans. We’re funny. There’s a great, big nugget of truth on that […]

A Wonderful Example of the Left’s Fascism at Chicagoland Radio and Media Message Board

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The fascist way that the left deals with opinion differing from its own is just one of the many reasons why the left in America today is so hypocritical. Aside from the oppressive aire of our Universities and colleges no better example of the quashing of opposing views can be seen than on Internet message […]

 

Unions Preventing a Timely Cleanup of Oil in the Gulf?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Joseph Carafano of the Heritage Foundation has made an interesting observation and wonders if President Obama is allowing unions to make it harder to effect a timely and effective cleanup of the BP oil spill in the Gulf? The offer of aid from foreign companies has been refused by the Obama administration and the Jones […]

 

Today’s sign that things really are bad: Democrats are talking about Social Security

Posted on by TrogloPundit

The year: 2006. The State of the Union Address. President Bush began to scold congressional Democrats for refusing to consider changes to a badly unbalanced Social Security program. He said: “Congress did not act last year on my proposal to save Social Security…” And the Democrats interrupted…with cheers! They leaped from their seats, applauding the […]

 

They’re Called “Snapping” Turtles For A Reason

Posted on by William Teach

Something a little lighter for Saturday morning CBS 2’s Tony Aiello learned that lesson Friday as he handled a female snapping turtle for an assignment. The turtle lurched its neck out, reared back, and tried to take a snap at Aiello’s nose. “I’d like to think I have a ‘nose for news,’” Aiello said. “I’m […]

 

Whiner-In-Chief: I Can’t Suck It Up With A Straw

Posted on by William Teach

Un-professional, inexperienced, overly-partisan, thin-skinned, clueless, and, of course, a major league whiner. Am I leaving any descriptor out about Obama? He whines like Wayne Gretzky played hockey: no one is better. A bit of video surfaced, due to the pool reporters not being allowed to view this specific conversation, appeared on the White House website […]

 

Not All Experience Is Created Equal

Posted on by Brian Garst

Susan Estrich thinks the crop of Republican women winning primaries is problematic because they don’t have enough political experience: Some years ago, the late New York Times and Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist William Safire wrote a great column comparing politicians to plumbers. It was during one of those periods when (like now) experience had become a […]

 

Black SC pol: Greene May Have Won Dem Primary ‘Because He Is Black’

Posted on by Sister Toldjah

The clueless SC Democrat machine continues to try and make excuses for how the unknown Alvin Greene got chosen as their US Senate nominee, in spite of the fact that Greene didn’t have any campaign contributions and did no campaigning: What also mystified Democrats across the state is how Greene managed to win without campaigning. […]

 

The Corrupt Pelosi Congress Looks To Water Down Ethics Rules

Posted on by John Hawkins

What do you do when too many of the sleazy members of your caucus are getting caught with their hands in the cookie jar? If you’re Nancy Pelosi, you try to weaken the ethics rules to keep so many of them from getting busted, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has privately indicated she is willing to […]

 

Tina Brown Says “Wingnut” Women Blow To Feminism. I say, What Feminism?

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

(Originally posted at NewsReal) Sorry, Tina Brown, but feminism is already dead. And I say, “You’re welcome.” As perpetual children, you self-avowed feminists may not thank us yet. You may continue to stomp and whine and throw your little tantrums, petulantly holding your mouths closed to the icky vegetables known as truth, personal responsibility and […]

 

Obamacare: Eliminating the Poor and Elderly’s Last Resort to Life and Health

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Many left-wingers complain that our healthcare system as it stands leaves out the poor, elderly, and those least able to care for themselves. They say that because of this inequity private medical care should be eliminated and government should take over that role in society. That way, they claim, all will be treated equally and […]

 

Chicago Alderman Solis Calls Americans ‘Nazis’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If you are interested in the rule of law, if you are someone who upholds the Constitution, or someone that believes in the sovereignty of America’s borders, Chicago Alderman Danny Solis wants you to know that you are a Nazi. That’s right Moreno thinks you are “wrong,” and you are “evil” if you want to […]

 

So, I Understand There’s Some Sort Of Soccer Thing Going On?

Posted on by John Hawkins

I initially became aware there was some sort of: :  soccer series, bowl, contest, kick-off — whatever they call it — going on because when I was scanning for links for Linkiest, I kept running across pictures of soccer hotties: Viva la socialism ball hotties! While I did peruse several of these “articles” (does a post […]

 

This Week In Quotes: April 4 – April 10

Posted on by John Hawkins

It used to be said “war is hell.” A more accurate description today might be “war is purgatory.” Political correctness demands that reason must prevail, even though war is conducted precisely because reasoning, aka diplomacy, has failed. We used to understand this. When America was threatened during WWll, we didn’t wring our collective hands wondering […]

 

Crazy Commie/Socialists Take Kiddies On Revolutionary Trip To Arizona

Posted on by William Teach

Back in my day, we went to the zoo, museums, planetariums, aquariums and such. Educational places that were fun. Now, it seems that schools have to drag the kiddies along for a propaganda trip which is worse then you think, but goes right along with standard leftist thought (if you can apply the word “thought” […]

 

Climate Hypocrite Prince Charles Says To Follow The Islamic Way

Posted on by William Teach

You remember Prince Charles. The guy who speechifies all the time about anthropogenic global warming, saying we all need to change our lifestyles to save Mother Gaia, then flies all over the world in private jets many, many, many, many times. He takes limo’s all the time, drives big gas guzzling cars, takes coal fired […]

 

Video: 1969–The Death of Modernism

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

The 1960s began with a presidential election between conservative cold warrior Richard Nixon…and the surprisingly conservative cold warrior John F. Kennedy. In terms of the similarity between the two candidates, and the public they represented, this was a high point in national unity. The assassination of JFK began a process that ultimately shattered that unity. During the course of the 1960s, Americans witnessed the split between the liberalism of FDR, Harry Truman, JFK and LBJ, and the rise of the punitive New Left that emerged in the wake of President Kennedy’s assassination. As we explore in the latest edition of our Silicon Graffiti video blog, the alpha and the omega of those two forms of American liberalism came less than a month apart, in the summer of 1969…
