Our Anti-Religious, Anti-American, Arrogant Schools

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Two stories from this week shows how out of control our fetid schools have become. In New York a young boy is suspended because he dared to carry his Catholic rosary beads in school and in Virginia a principal refused to allow a mother to take her own child out of school to go to […]

 

Say, About That Sea Level Rise Meme…..

Posted on by William Teach

The climate alarmists have been yammering on about globull warming killing us all as it raises the oceans – a notion that Al Gore must disagree with, considering his purchase of a McMansion right near the Pacific – even though sea level rise has being going on since the end of the last Ice Age.

Rand Paul’s Newbie Mistake On The Civil Rights Act

Posted on by John Hawkins

Rand Paul has gotten in a little trouble because he made a rookie mistake for a politician: he tried to have a nuanced philosophical debate on an issue that’s easy to demagogue: the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The position he was ambiguously defending was that people should have a right to do as they wish […]

 

SEIU Thugs Terrorize Teenage Boy

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Nice work, SEIU. Service Employee International Union members descended upon the home of a banker to protest the banker’s work. The banker wasn’t home but his teenage son was and he was home alone and the 14 bus loads of union thugs scared the heck out of the poor kid. This was no political protest, […]

 

This Week In Quotes: May 14-May 20

Posted on by John Hawkins

At some point, some high-profile Arizona pol really should call the bluff of sanctuary cities by offering to release captured illegals into their custody in lieu of deporting them. If Gavin Newsom and Mike Bloomberg and Antonio Villaraigosa are all so hot to welcome the “undocumented,” fantastic: Arizona’s got an endless supply and will be […]

 

Unprecedented: Calderon Slams US From House Floor. Receives Standing Ovation

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Unprecedented, indeed. But, not surprising, given that our own President has done nothing but the same. I’m wondering if Calderon at least read the Arizona bill first, before demonizing an American state. That would actually be unprecedented, amongst our alleged leaders, at least. President Obama, for once, forewent bowing. Not to worry, though! The Democrats […]

 

Debating the Right to Discriminate

Posted on by Donald Douglas

My motivation on this issue, first, is to pushback against the radical left’s “racist” Rand Paul meme. I do, second, appreciate the free speech claims that underlie the libertarian argument. And no one is talking about going back to pre-1964 American politics (despite what the nihilists at Firedoglake and elsewhere would have). Besides, Megyn Kelly […]

 

Rand Paul on Rachel Maddow: ‘IDEOLOGICAL EXTREMISM = RACISM’

Posted on by Donald Douglas

It’s a long video, but compelling — and the very best segment is near the end, where Dr. Rand Paul states one more time, as unequivocally as can be, that he abhors and rejects government-sponsored “institutional” racism, but that for leftists the “totality” of his views are irrelevant to the debate they want to have. […]

 

Huge Mob of SEIU Goons Attacks Banker’s Home

Posted on by Dave Blount

As a “community organizer,” B. Hussein Obama trained other left-wing agitators. Presumably his lessons included tactics like this, as reported by Nina Easton: Last Sunday, on a peaceful, sun-crisp afternoon, our toddler finally napping upstairs, my front yard exploded with 500 screaming, placard-waving strangers on a mission to intimidate my neighbor, Greg Baer. Baer is […]

 

NPR Tries to Cast Rand Paul as KKK Sympathizer

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On the day after his historic primary win, National Public Radio rabidly went after Rand Paul, newly minted GOP nominee for Kentucky Senator, trying to make him out to be a KKK sympathizer or perhaps a racist that would have agreed to keep Jim Crow alive and well in 1964. This rabid, left-wing attack is […]

 

Ehr, Don’t The New Olympic Mascots Look Like…

Posted on by John Hawkins

Ok, somebody had to say it and I guess I’m going to be the guy. Everyone’s asking about the Jar Jar Blinks level creative disaster that the Olympic mascots have turned out to be: Remember back a few months when the British press branded our Olympics the Worst Games Ever, before the first weekend had […]

 

Did You Hear The One About Three Illegals Busted After A Sit In At McCain’s Office?

Posted on by William Teach

Well, so far, the ending looks to be funny as heck A sit-in at Senator John McCain’s Tucson office Monday led to a trip to jail for four people, three of them illegal immigrants, and could now mean that they will be kicked out of the country. “We’re dedicated,” said Yahaira Carrillo, who came to […]

 

My Entry For “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day”

Posted on by John Hawkins

As a Christian, I find it extremely annoying when people make fun of my religion. Yet, when the people at the New York Times or Comedy Central show an image that offends my religious sensibilities, I don’t cut their heads off as an example to others. I also don’t threaten to murder people over cartoons […]

 

Now That The Deficit Is Ginormous, Dems Queasy Over Deficit Spending

Posted on by William Teach

So, after taking over Congress in 2007 and saying “you think you Republicans know how to spend? Bah! You’ve only learned to max out a few starter credit cards with low ceilings. We’ll show you pikers how max out the platinum cards and purchase a $500k house while making $50k a year”, now Democrats are […]

 

Democratic November Hopes Hang on Thin Reed of PA-12

Posted on by Donald Douglas

It’s fascinating that most of the election attention this afternoon is focused on yesterday’s special election in Pennsylvania’s 12th congressional district. The New York Times wasted no time to advance the left’s meme going forward, “Democrats See Hope for Fall in Victory in House Race.” And not to be outdone is CSM, “PA-12: A template […]

 

Leftists Spin ‘Huge’ Victory for Mark Critz in PA-12

Posted on by Donald Douglas

There’s some attention this morning on the Tim Burns loss in PA-12. Steve Benen, hoping to play down this year’s anti-Obama fever, is pumping up the win by former John Murtha crony Mark Critz as “arguably the most important election” of the day. And “the world’s dumbest blogger” Matthew Yglesias is working the same beat: […]

 

Black Panther Thug on Philadelphia Ballot

Posted on by Dave Blount

Philadelphia voters had better get used to the intimidating presence of Black Panther goon Jerry Jackson Jr. at the polls. Here he is with his colleague King Samir Shabazz in 2008: Via Big Government, here’s his name on the ballot for the Ward Executive Committee (in the Democrat column, of course): Jackson and Shabazz were […]

 

Pundits Missed that Illinois Started Tea Party/Anti-Establishment Primary Revolt

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Political pundits and poll watchers all across the nation are abuzz with the “tea party win” of Rand Paul, winner of the Kentucky primary for U.S. Senator. Mr. Paul was not the party favored candidate but was supported by Kentucky’s Tea Party movement and this is being hailed as something of a first, an example […]

 

Australian Bureaucrats Combine Prying With Stealing

Posted on by Dave Blount

Bureauweenies don’t always have the sharpest wits, but there’s no doubting their cleverness when it comes to “spreading the wealth around” from our pockets into their coffers. Here‘s a new revenue-generating scheme from Australia: Up to 50,000 people face a fine of $110 a day if they refuse to divulge information on their health and […]

 

Global Warming Cooling Is Here! Protect The Children!

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Oh nooooos! Now, we’ll have even more polar bears and they’ll eat all the baby seals and that will be terrible: The hottest new trend in climate change may be global cooling, some researchers say. Contrary to the commonly held scientific conclusion that the Earth is getting warmer, Dr. Don Easterbrook, emeritus professor of geology […]
