6 Reasons You Teabaggers Should Give Up On Controlling Spending

Posted on by John Hawkins

It’s time for all of you toothless hillbillies in the Teabagger movement to learn something from your betters on the Left. So, you need to stop listening to hateful ideologues like Rush Limbaugh, Thomas Sowell, and whoever the KKK’s Grand Dragon is these days and start listening to reasonable voices of moderation like Paul Krugman, […]

 

Just Can’t Win Dept: Unions Honor Traitor Republicans, Dems Call Unions Traitors

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Traitors to the right of them, traitors to the left of them, traitors in front of them… behind them, around them within them… in the they-just-can’t-win department, unions held a soiree for the traitor Republicans that voted in favor of some of the pro-union provisions in last week’s temporary budget and their pals in the […]

 

Senator Ron Johnson on The Budget and the Debate in Wisconsin

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Recently I was part of a conference call with Senator Ron Johnson (R, Wis). Johnson is a member of the GOP wave that over took Washington in the 2010 midterms. In a surprise to many, Johnson defeated long-time Wisconsin Senator, Democrat Russ Feingold. My first question was one that I have also asked Chief Deputy […]

 

Nany, Nany Noo Noo: Peggy Noonan Jumps the Shark Over Donald Rumsfeld Memoir

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In her March 11 column, Peggy Noonan (a former special assistant to Ronald Reagan) savaged Donald Rumsfeld as “The Defense Secretary Who Let Bin Laden Get Away .” Noonan also ripped his new book, “Known and Unknown,” as a tome whose “stupid little spine” she wanted to break in anger. I’d like to suggest that […]

 

Muslims Murder Children, Palestinians Celebrate, HuffPo Moonbats Take Their Side

Posted on by Dave Blount

It’s party time in Gaza, in celebration of yet another ghastly atrocity presumably committed by followers of the Religion of Peace: Gaza residents from the southern city of Rafah hit the streets Saturday to celebrate the terror attack in the West Bank settlement of Itamar where five family members were murdered in their sleep, including […]

 

Moonbats Attempt to Link Earthquake to Global Warming

Posted on by Dave Blount

As predicted, moonbats have wasted no time attempting to exploit the tragedy in Japan by linking it to the nonexistent global warming crisis. Hours after a massive earthquake rattled Japan, environmental advocates connected the natural disaster to global warming. The president of the European Economic and Social Committee, Staffan Nilsson, issued a statement calling for […]

 

Was Obama’s Support for Wisconsin Unions Payback?

Posted on by Unicorn Jones

You know, its one of those things you just know but you can’t find proof of: that Obama sticking his nose into state financial restructurings cleverly spun as “labor disputes” was political payback for allowing the unions to basically purchase the Presidency. Luckily, for those of us who know where to find it, they leave […]

 

Cold Weather To Effect Food Security

Posted on by William Teach

I’ve mentioned several times that one of the latest meme’s thrown at the wall to try and prop up the dying Cult of Globull Warming is “food security.” Climate morons posit that “climate change” caused by Mankind is causing something something and something, which is leading to higher food prices, and making us all unsafe.

Obama: Plenty Of Time For Obama To Campaign In 2011

Posted on by William Teach

Good thing there’s nothing happening in the world. As Libya and Japan burn, as we have massive uprisings through the Arab world, Obama played golf and hit the Gridiron dinner (something he skipped the first two years, but, he’ll need, as Dana Perino said, his compliant media’s help in 2012). He penned an op-ed in […]

 

George Will Brings Up The Questions More People Should Be Asking About Intervening In Libya

Posted on by John Hawkins

Back on Feb 28, I wrote the following, We Should Support The Libyan People, But Not With Our Troops Muammar Gaddafi is a tyrant, he has American blood on his hands — and he’s just plain old evil. What will follow him in Libya is a mystery, but he’s such a monster, it’s hard not […]

 

How Elite Are America’s Elite Universities? Most Americans Say, “Not Very”

Posted on by John Hawkins

We’ve heard a lot about “anti-elitism,” but if the “elite” could better be described as “well connected,” rather than “better qualified,” why should anyone be impressed with the “elite?” They shouldn’t — which brings us to graduates of America’s “elite” universities: Ronald Reagan was the last president we had who didn’t graduate from an Ivy […]

 

The Deliberate Economic Stupidity Of Paul Krugman On Social Security

Posted on by John Hawkins

Paul Krugman is a Nobel Prize winning economist, which makes me think he’s deliberately playing stupid on Social Security: Social Security is a government program supported by a dedicated tax, like highway maintenance. Now you can say that assigning a particular tax to a particular program is merely a fiction, but in fact such assignments […]

 

Why Does Barack Obama Get A Pass On Bradley Manning, Liberals?

Posted on by John Hawkins

“President Present” has raised non-leadership to an artform, which is a rather noteworthy accomplishment for a man who’s considered the leader of the Free World. Just to give you one of many, many examples, let’s consider the Bradley Manning case. Liberals are INFURIATED by what they view as tough treatment of the poor little traitor […]

 

It’s The Parents’ Job To Keep Their Caterwauling Brats From Disturbing People In Public

Posted on by John Hawkins

So, this week-end, a friend of mine rolled into Myrtle Beach and I was supposed to show her the town. It was a tough choice: Did I take her to see Cats, Les Misérables, or the Opera? Just kidding. This is Myrtle Beach. She’s lucky we didn’t end up visiting a bunch of golf courses […]

 

It’s about time New Jersey deregulated all telephone and cable TV services

Posted on by Chris Wysocki

In a little over a week the NJ State Senate will vote on a bill to eliminate century-old regulations on telephone and cable television companies. It has already passed in the Assembly, by 66 – 7. The “Market Competition and Consumer Choice Act” (SB 2664) removes requirements for the Board of Public Utilities to micromanage […]

 

Liberals — lording it over lesser beings

Posted on by Bookworm

If there is one defining characteristic of liberals, it is their sense that they are better than everyone else. Nowhere was that more explicitly illustrated than in Ron Schiller’s comments: In my personal opinion, liberals today might be more educated, fair and balanced than conservatives. Schiller wasn’t unique, just unguarded. The whole point of liberalism, […]

 

The Arrogance and Hate From Congressional Democrats

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

My friend Kerry Picket of the Washington times was involved in a little tête-à-tête with a foul-tempered, arrogant Democrat member of congress that is just so typical of how these hatemongers on the left attempt to shut down debate, call conservatives racists, and act like petulant children in general that it must be highlighted. Picket […]

Attention, Parents of Very Small Children

Posted on by Morgan Freeberg

Up to a certain age it is normal and expected for your offspring to fail to distinguish between minor irritants, perceived slights, dull discomforts, petty jealousies, cranky moods, and emergencies. Where your child is at now, everything is an emergency, and the only way to address any such emergency is to annoy you. This is […]

 

So why is Jesse Jackson not chaining himself to the statehouse doors in any of those states, demanding that their workers be given their human rights?

Posted on by TrogloPundit

The really odd thing about the union protests in Wisconsin is: what Wisconsin’s doing isn’t all that uncommon: Only 26 states have laws that grant collective-bargaining privileges to substantially all public employees. Twelve have laws that give collective bargaining to some workers, and twelve have no statewide collective-bargaining law at all, though some municipalities may […]

The Democrats and their handmaidens in the Old Media have been decrying the evils of the “violent rhetoric” of the Tea Party and Republicans for the better part of two years, now. Yet all the violence and threats of same continue to come mostly from those left of center. The video below shows just a […]

 

The Face Of Progressivism: Students Take Part In “I Have Sex” Video

Posted on by Sister Toldjah

The video and accompanying commentary pretty much speak for themselves: Posted below the video: A message from students at Wesleyan University in Connecticut. They write: In order to “balance the budget” the House of Representatives recently announced the intention to strip all federal funding to Planned Parenthood. This is unacceptable. It’s time to face reality: […]

 

VIDEO: Interview With Chief Dep. Whip, Congressman Peter Roskam

Illinois Congressman Peter Roskam (R, 6th District) has really climbed the ladder of leadership since the 2010 elections.

Roskam is the go-to man for the […]

 

Grist: Japanese Earthquake And Tsunami “What Climate Change Looks Like”

Posted on by William Teach

I really, really, really wanted to avoid posting something like this today, after the tragedy in Japan. Despite being the best prepared country in the world for earthquakes and tsunamis, we know that the damage and death toll will continue to rise. Typically, the second thing I do after offering prayers and/or condolences when something […]
