Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Representative Peter Roskam tries to offer an amendment that makes sure that the executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac don’t make more money than the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Prince Charles: Follow Islam to Save Gaia

Posted on by Dave Blount

It’s hard to imagine how the subversion of the Church of England could get any worse — yet it will, should Prince Charles ascend to the throne. The effective head of the Church of England is the dhimmified, sharia-promoting, anti-American, tradition-bashing Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams. If that isn’t bad enough, the titular head — […]

 

Obama Shovels Our Money at Palestinian Terror State

Posted on by Dave Blount

If only squids could be trained to talk, you could name one Comrade Obama and teach it to intone, “Let me be clear” before it lets loose with a cloud of ink. But there is one thing Chairman Zero has made perfectly lucid: where he falls in the worldwide struggle between liberty and tyranny. His […]

The indispensable Mark Hemingway of the Washington Examiner recently caught another union outrage.

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Rachel Larimore of Slate asks where the Rah-Rah Sisterhood is hanging out after so many women women won in the Republican primaries yesterday. Really, Rachel? This is a head scratcher for you?

We’re Getting Dangerously Close To Intifada Territory On Our Southern Border

Posted on by John Hawkins

The hatred of America in Mexico and their bizarre sense of entitlement when it comes to breaking our laws is becoming ever more alarming. First of all, we have this story: Mexico has slammed the U.S. for its ‘disproportionate use of force’ after a boy of 14 was shot dead by an American Border Patrol […]

 

A Warning Label For The Constitution?

Posted on by William Teach

Even though this was a private company who did this, why do I get the feeling that Obama and the Donkeys agree with this? A small publishing company is under fire after putting warning labels on copies of the U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence and other historical documents. Wilder Publications warns readers of its reprints […]

What Say To Bingo And Continental Breakfast For Detained Illegals?

Posted on by William Teach

Primary Races Show Palin’s Pull; Left Focuses on Palin’s Breasts

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

(Cross-posted from NewsReal) Rachel Larimore, at Slate’s Double X, asked about the primary wins last night, “Where is the rah-rah sisterhood?” The overriding theme of Tuesday night’s primary coverage was that it was a big night for female politicians. But there is a noticeable dearth of rah-rah sisterhood going on (though the National Review is […]

 

Kagan’s Clone Wars

Posted on by Robert Stacy McCain

They’re not dead babies, they’re just clumps of cells: White House memos from 1997, when Elena Kagan was a top domestic policy advisor to President Clinton, show that Kagan — nominated to the Supreme Court by President Obama — recommended that the Clinton administration permit cloning of human embryos for research purposes. Writing just months […]

 

This Is Why People Believe President Obama Hates Israel….Oh, And America, Too

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Over at Exurban Jon’s place I read this from CNN and felt sick to my stomach: “The United States will contribute $400 million in development aid to the Palestinian territories and work with Israel to loosen its embargo on Gaza, President Barack Obama said Wednesday. Obama’s announcement came after White House talks with Palestinian Authority […]

Tweet Of The Year: “Well, I Hope You’ll Die Soon, Stupid Hater, And Bring All Your Stupid Followers With You In Hell”

Posted on by John Hawkins

Normally, I don’t bother to comment on angry tweets aimed in my direction. In fact, I generally block annoying people on Twitter. I don’t mind the fighting, but if I’m going to do it, I want to do it on my web page where it can draw an audience. So, earlier today, I popped off […]

 

Does Obama Actually Agree with Helen Thomas on Palestine?

Timing couldn’t be worse on this one, and frankly, we are broke.:  Via the NYT: President Obama promised a $400 million aid package for the West Bank and Gaza on Wednesday, as the United States scrambled to come up with a way out of the stalemate in the Middle East exacerbated by the Gaza flotilla […]

 

Sharron Angle: Big Win for Tea Party

Posted on by Dave Blount

Possibly the best news regarding yesterday’s primaries comes from Nevada, where Sharron Angle — endorsed by the Great One himself — has earned the job of displacing Dingy Harry Reid. Angle is a solid countermoonbat. As the Daily Caller observes, her win represents the increasing clout of the Tea Party movement: Republican voters in Nevada […]

 

A Rundown Of Yesterday’s Big Election Results.

Posted on by John Hawkins

First off, in California, it was not a great day for conservatives although happily, down the ticket, birther queen Orly Taitz was trounced by Damon Dunn for Secretary of State. That’s the good news. On the other hand, Meg Whitman soundly beat Steve Poizner for:  governor of California, 64% to 27%. I really don’t like […]

Pro-Law Breaker Web Site Posts Ill. Minuteman Project Director’s Home Address

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In an example of the most extreme left-wing tactics, a website that supports illegal immigration has publicized the home address of the Director of the Illinois Minuteman Project, Rosanna Pulido. Apparently this website intends to try and harass Pulido at her home, a tactic that we recently saw from thug union members protesting in front […]

 

Orange, Ca. Declares Itself A Rule Of Law City Regarding Illegals

Posted on by William Teach

I really like the way Orange passed these two resolutions, effectively put the pro-illegals supports on the side of crime and criminals The City Council voted 4-0 on Tuesday to back two resolutions supporting Arizona’s hotly debated immigration-reform bill. The council’s decisions to declare Orange a Rule of Law city and to officially support the […]

 

Is It Really Anti-Incumbent Rage?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

I’m wondering about this. This headline for the Blanche Lincoln loss in Arkansas is conventional wisdom; “Anti-Incumbent Rage Bypasses Arkansas“. But I am not sure that’s the conclusion to come to in the elections, at all. There is anti-establishment rage. There is anti-big government rage. There is anti-tone deaf rage. There will be some incumbents […]
