GOP Candidates Make Final Push for Tuesday Primary

Posted on by Donald Douglas

When I first saw Steve Poizner campaign in January he spoke after Chuck DeVore and, with little interest, some folks starting wandering away. This pic’s from the Irvine tax day tea party in April. More at the Los Angeles Times, “GOP Candidates Put Personal Touch on Final Pitches.” Also, at Inland Empire News, “Polls Give […]

 

Matthew Yglesias: The Problem With The Economy? Too Much Fiscal Conservatism

Posted on by John Hawkins

Yes, really. That’s what he’s arguing, If fiscal stimulus is so great, then why hasn’t the Obama administration’s massive stimulus program helped improve the economy? Well, via Mark Thoma, the answer is that there hasn’t been any net fiscal stimulus, all the Obama administration’s efforts plus the automatic stabilizers have done is mitigate the contractionary […]

 

Phoenix Rising

Posted on by Dave Blount

Despite punishing 107° heat, an impressive crowd turned out across from the Arizona State Capitol Saturday for the Phoenix Rising demonstration in support of countermoonbattery, American sovereignty, the rule of law, and in particular, SB1070. Not even the blazing sun could melt the festive spirits. As with most Tea Party type events, there was no […]

 

Nappy-Headed Helens: A Tale of Two Racial Slurs

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

By now if you are a political junkie you know that the Queen of the White House press corps, Helen Thomas, was heard to voice the anti-Semitic sentiment that all the Jews in Israel should “go back to Germany and Poland” where they came from. So far, the tepid response from the oh, so racially […]

 

Snap! Democrats Blowing Off Town Halls Over Voter Anger

Posted on by William Teach

For a party that extolled the virtues of Abraham Lincoln, proclaiming Obama his modern day equivalent, the Democrats sure have forgotten that whole “by the People, for the People,” thing: Democrats Skip Town Halls to Avoid Voter Rage The reception that Representative Frank Kratovil Jr., a Democrat, received here one night last week as he […]

 

A Woman-Beating Creep? OR a Perfect Democrat? You Decide

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Well, this guy is a major creep no matter. But his actions make me wonder if he is just a no good girlfriend beater, or the perfectly obvious outcome of left-wing philosophy and therefore quite logical. A Seattle area man named Graydon Smith was rather fond of beating up his pregnant 19-year-old girlfriend. The 31-year-old […]

 

Washington Post Concerned With Arizona’s Image

Posted on by William Teach

More than half this “news article” could have come straight from the DNC, as the post attempts to tell us all these bad things about the Arizona anti-illegal immigrant legislation: Arizona leaders lament as state’s image takes beating with new immigration law When state Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D) travels outside Arizona, she hears the same […]

 

Newsweek Frets Over Conservative Hotties; Newsweek, Heal Thyself

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Originally posted at NewsReal: On June 1st, Right Wing News posted their “20 Hottest Conservative Women in New Media (2010 Edition).”: Their first edition was last year and it was born in response to Playboy’s Guy Cimbalo and his disgusting hit piece on conservative women. His article (term used loosely) was a list which was comprised […]

 

‘Today We Celebrate the Triumph of Democracy’ – President Reagan, D-Day Anniversary Address, June 6, 1984

Posted on by Donald Douglas

It doesn’t seem that hard to both honor the dead and cherish our exceptionalism, but of course it’s President Reagan: “Remarks at a United States-France Ceremony Commemorating the 40th Anniversary of the Normandy Invasion, D-day June 6, 1984.” I admire how the video editor made sure to include Reagan’s approach the podium. No arrogance or […]

 

What the Second Offer Says to the GOP and About Obama

Posted on by Heather Bachman

With Memorial Day weekend signifying a semi-defeat of the Obama Administration as they admitted offering a position to Democrat Senatorial candidate Joe Sestak in exchange for dropping out of his race against Democrat Golden Boy Arlen Specter, before the event could even attempt to reach the news archives a related admission was raised.:  Former House […]

 

Miranda Rights Untouched by Recent Decision

Posted on by Heather Bachman

The Miranda Rights and what they entail has been a topic of both legal and political debate.:  However, recently there has been a development in the aspect of when the right to speak is waived.:  In the recent Supreme Court decision involving the criminal case of convicted murderer Van Chester Thompkins’ questioning, the Court determined […]

 

Bada Bing, Gov Christie: ‘You Punch Them, I’ll Punch You’

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Bada Bing, New Jersey’s Governor Christie does it again. This time, calling out the horrible and corrupt teacher’s union, NJEA. (video after the jump) Each time he speaks, I’m even more impressed than the last time. Every speech is chock-full of delicious common sense and straight talk. He started off his tenure as Governor by […]

 

Stimulated?

Posted on by Ron Coleman

On February 17, 2010, we learned that: all doubts had, in fact, been resolved with respect to the economic policy of FDR Slim: Today is the one-year anniversary of the landmark stimulus bill which most economists agree has staved off a second Great Depression. The evidence that the stimulus has worked is overwhelming – the New […]

 

Washington Post Yanks Out Hankies Over Illegal Alien Graduates

Posted on by William Teach

It’s a tear jerker, folks. Another in a long series by the supporters of law breakers: Amid Arizona immigration protests, a new generation dreams of the Dream Act Among the 10,000 or so protesters who gathered in front of the state Capitol here last weekend under a scorching sun, one group stood out. Despite the […]

 

Jake Knotts: Die In a Fire, You Vicious Racist Scumbag

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Cross-posted from RedState: I didn’t address State Sen. Jake Knotts’ “raghead” comments earlier, because I had little to say to the refuted man, save for some rather colorful words. Today, he proved himself even more odious than even first thought. Via Hot Air (emphasis theirs): He claims she is hiding her religion and he wants […]

 

When Life Give You Murderous Islam, Make a Funny Song Out of It

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Here’s a very inventive and funny parody of the penchant for fluffery and meaningless gestures from all those empty headed entertainers out there. But this little production has a serious point beneath it. When you are surrounded by murderous Muslims, what else can you do but laugh? Well, laugh and defend yourself, anyway. And this […]

 

Rahm Emanuel: Another Tax Avoiding Obama Appointee

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I am beginning to think that our tax collecting agencies across the country send out a form letter to everyone that is in arrears with their taxes to immediately apply for a job in Barack “Most Ethical Administration in Decades” Obama’s administration. Here we have another Obama lieutenant that didn’t pay his taxes until someone […]

 

Israel Boards Ship Bound For Gaza Strip

Posted on by William Teach

Fortunately (for the pro-terrorist idiots on board the ship, that is), this time the (pro-terrorist) idiots didn’t make waves, and did not attempt to assualt the Israeli troops, which is actually surprising, since part of what they are attempting to do, as Charles Krauthammer pointed out, is to do away with all methods of Israel […]

Campaign Memo Reveals Steve Poizner as Far-Left Candidate in 2004

Posted on by Donald Douglas

He’s a nice guy, but GOP gubernatorial candidate Steve Poizner advocated far left-wing positions on a range of issues in his 2004 campaign for California Assembly. The document is here: “2004 Poizner for Assembly Policy Positions.” The Los Angeles Times obtained the report.

AAP Reverses Policy on Genital ‘Nicking’; Danger of Moral Relativism Still Remains

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

(Originally posted at David Horowitz’s NewsReal) Last month, the American Academy of Pediatrics jumped right in as a contestant in the race to see who can be the most revolting, all in the name of multiculturalism and their misguided idea of tolerance. They released a policy update on Female Genital Mutilation, in which they first […]
