Canadian Government Facilitates Heroin Addiction

Posted on by Dave Blount

Going for the jugular: tax dollars at work. If not for Big Government’s warm and comforting arms, tail-spinning losers wouldn’t be able to commit slow suicide with heroin in bureaucrat-approved safety, like they can at Vancouver’s “safe injection site” Insite: There, addicts get clean needles, which they are not allowed to share with anyone else.

Union Boss Says Advocates for Spending Cuts are ‘Mentally Retarded’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In a perfect example of why unions are the biggest problem for government budget reform, John Gage, President of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), has just pronounced anyone that wants to cut the overly generous pay, benefits, and pensions of government employees are “mentally retarded.” This is the to-the-hilt fight that the unions […]

Nancy Pelosi Calls for Ban on the Word Hate

Posted on by Dave Blount

One of the many frightening aspects of George Orwell’s 1984 is the way bureaucrats limit human thought by eliminating words from the language. Once again, liberals are using the book not as a warning, but as a Tyranny for Dummies guide: Fired former Speaker of the House and current Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi, is going […]

 

Government Rail to the Edge of the Abyss

Posted on by Dave Blount

Compliments of Cons.Underground. From now until the day our entire economy collapses under the weight of government debt is a wonderful time to be a corrupt bureaucrat or crony capitalist, as made obvious by Comrade Obama’s recently announced “high speed” rail boondoggle: At Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station on Tuesday, lifelong government rail promoter Vice President […]

 

I now pronounce the Archbishop of Canterbury officially insane

Posted on by Bookworm

The Archbishopric of Canterbury used to be a pretty important job. The guy who held that position, going back to the earliest Middle Ages, was the premier leader of the English church, whether that church gave allegiance to Rome or the British Monarch. The current Archbishop, Rowan Williams is, as best as I can tell, […]

More of Rahm’s Union Troubles

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In the race for the Chicago Mayor’s office we have seen quite a lot of evidence that Chicago’s union bosses are not big Rahm Emanuelites. This week we got another hint in that direction as several more unions came out in support of Emanuel’s most serious opponent, Gery Chico. The Chico campaign added a group […]

 

Globull Warming Could Decrease Polar Bear Numbers

Posted on by William Teach

Mights and coulds and maybes. Silly Louise Gray brings this breathless scaremongering.

NAACP Has No Interest In Addressing Racism Against Justice Clarence Thomas

Posted on by William Teach

Who can blame them? Clarence Thomas is a conservative, and, liberals obviously can never be guilty of racism against against a conservative. He’s been called an “anti-black,” and even Obama’s 20 year pastor, Jeremiah Wright, referred to Thomas as an “Uncle Tom.” And now, according to the Daily Caller The NAACP won’t directly address the […]

CPAC

Posted on by John Hawkins

CPAC runs Thurs-Saturday of this week and I will be attending. Although I will be posting from CPAC, the posts may not be as regular as usual. Since there will be other RWN bloggers there, that will probably be true of them as well. That’s the nature of the beast. PS: I will, however, of […]

 

Update on Palin Derangement – In the Mold of Ronald Reagan Edition

Posted on by Donald Douglas

From the lead letter to the editor, at today’s Los Angeles Times: Only one Reagan Re “Palin casts self in Reagan mold,” Feb. 5 Sarah Palin’s attempt to cast herself in the Reagan mold is laughable at best. Her anti-intellectual position is nothing more than another of the ad hominem, bandwagon, emotive arguments for which […]

 

Obama Is Like Totally Prepared. Obviously.

Posted on by Unicorn Jones

We knew he’d be totally fantastic at handling foreign conflicts potentially involving the twin threats of radical Islam and foreign oil disruptions, but what we didn’t realize when half the country trusted Barack Obama to undertake foreign policy that he’d grab the potato chips and let the country in question just figure it out for […]

Gallup: American Public Becoming Extremely Dissatisfied

Posted on by Dave Blount

They say Comrade Obama got caught with his pants down on Egypt; he should have seen that the country was ready to blow. You could say the same about another country I know… Nearly 7 out of 10 Americans say they are dissatisfied with the size and power of the federal government and with nation’s […]

 

Now THERE’S Chutzpah: Obama Claims He hasn’t Raised Taxes?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

John Kartch over at Americans for Tax Reform found President Obama’s claim that he hasn’t raised taxes a bit, shall we say, quixotic. At one point in the interview with Obama conducted by Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly and shown on Sunday, Obama stated bald faced that he didn’t do so. The truth seems to be […]

 

More Evidence that Centrists Democrats Are Dead

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Ben Smith of POLITICO is reporting that the Democrat leadership Council is on it’s last paws and about to go belly up.

Comedy gold from the USA Today Is climate change causing millions to migrate? Interesting.

Unhinged CCR Announces Bush Indictment For Torture

Posted on by William Teach

Interesting that the Center For Constitutional Rights, a far left pro-communist and open borders lobby group, has never announced an indictment against people like Osama Bin Laden, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, or any of the other Islamic terrorists on the FBI’s top 10 list. Of course, like so many on the far left, they quietly support the […]

15 Quotes From Conservatives On The Global Warming Hoax

Posted on by John Hawkins

Liberal luddites who hate capitalism and industry have spent billions to spread global warming propaganda, despite the fact that it looks more like a fraud, a scam, and a hustle every year.

The New York Times Theory: Conservatives Want States To Go Bankrupt So….

Many Republicans want to use hard times to fundamentally […]

 

Will California Legal Action Give “Cap and Trade” New Life at National Level?

Posted on by Jane Jamison

The thing about “cap and trade” legislation is, that it is so chock-full of technical language that is difficult for anyone but a policy wonk to follow. “Global warming” legislation has been shot down in the Congress, but has passed on a statewide level in California. It is taking a long time to implement in […]

 

Barack Obama’s “understanding” of all things Muslim

Posted on by Bookworm

When I was six years old, within a few short months, I went from having perfect vision to being extremely nearsighted.

Man, he’s no Jim DeMint! The Tea Party got rooked when they supported that RINO! We’ve got to primary that guy in 2012! […]
