What About Gilad Shalit (Q&A Friday #108)?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Question: Nary a mention of Gilad Shalit? And the 1000-1 prisoner swap…that Israel likely agreed to in order to make a cultural and moral statement between them and Hamas (or they just went insane)? — baoxian Answer: Israel’s hostage swaps are counter-productive.

“What do you think the endgame of the Occupy crowd will be, and when are we likely to see it?” — baoxian Answer: The endgame is that it gets cold and they go inside. I’m only sorta kidding about that. I don’t think they have an endgame in any meaningful sense. The Occupy Movement has […]

 

This Week In Quotes: Oct 14 – Oct 20

Posted on by John Hawkins

In New York, marchers chanted, “This is what democracy looks like,” but, actually, this isn’t what democracy looks like. This is what freedom of speech looks like. Democracy looks a lot more boring. Democracy requires institutions, elections, political parties, rules, laws, a judiciary, and many unglamorous, time-consuming activities, none of which are nearly as much […]

 

Robin Hood vs. the Occupiers

Posted on by Michelle Malkin

We have entered a new phase of the endless Occupy Wall Street sleepover. Not working is hard work. After a month of tying up the police, generating mounds of trash, railing against Jews while holding up “Nazi Bankers” signs, grappling with pervs, rapists and thieves in their ranks, communing with avowed communists, and hobnobbing with […]

 

Murders, Rapes, Falling Bridges and Phantom Jobs

Posted on by David Limbaugh

What are we to think about a president and vice president who blow nearly a trillion dollars in borrowed money, accept no responsibility for it and then traverse the nation trying to convince Americans that if we don’t spend half that much again, people will die from dilapidated bridges and women will be raped because […]

 

‘Reality Shows’ Distort the Real World

Posted on by Brent Bozell

Networks hungry for viewers know the cheapest way to nab eyeballs is to produce a “reality show” with no stars and often uber-sleazy, supposedly-unscripted-but-in-reality-very-scripted content. But in the rush for the prized 18-49 adult viewers, what about the millions of youngsters, the audience aged 11 to 17, who are also lured into the soup? The […]

 

Politico Tries to Smear Herman Cain With Bad Pizza

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Politico unleashed an incredibly misleading smear job on Herman Cain this week by attacking “his” Godfather’s Pizza in a faux taste test in both written and video form. The idea was to see if Herman’s pizza was a good product. Naturally the taste testers hated the pizza. But is Godfather’s Pizza really Herman’s pizza? Of […]

 

Occupy Wall Streeters: Communists, Anti-Capitalists And now Rapists?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We know that the Occupy Wall Streeters are extremists in nature and far outside the American norm.

The 50 Most Popular Conservatives on the Web (According to Google 2011)

Posted on by John Hawkins

Putting together a list of the most Googled conservatives is more difficult than you’d think. You have to come up with an initial list of conservatives.

The Story Is A Metaphor For What’s Wrong With America Today

Posted on by John Hawkins

From electing Obama, to the Occupy Wall Street protests, to our huge, overweening government, it all stems from the same problem.

Vote For Obama Because He’s Black

Posted on by Cal Thomas

At the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, Sen. Barack Obama said, “…There is not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America — there is the United States of America.” Those were welcome and commendable words. Unfortunately, they appear to be only words. Since then, Obama has divided us […]

 

Hey, Occupy Wall Street: What, No Anti-Obama Signs?

Posted on by Larry Elder

The Occupy Wall Street folks tell us to blame Wall Street for the nation’s financial troubles. Notice the no-fly zone over President Barack Obama.

Imagine the protests/sit-ins/rallies/mass marches on Pennsylvania Avenue — not Wall Street — if after two years of […]

 

Congress Softens Stance on High-skilled Immigrants

Posted on by Michael Barone

We’ve been hearing a lot about immigration on the campaign trail, most of it based on outdated assumptions and echoing the arguments made when Congress was considering so-called comprehensive immigration reform bills in 2006 and 2007. But up on Capitol Hill, there appears to be progress — bipartisan progress, even — toward changing our immigration […]

Occupy Wall Street (Hearts) Wall Street

Posted on by Ann Coulter

The worst thing about Occupy Wall Street is that it’s ruining a good cause: hating Wall Street. Just when opposing Wall Street was gaining momentum, these brain-dead zombies are forcing us to choose between thieving bankers and them. If the Flea Party were really concerned about the greedy “Wall Street 1 Percent,” shifting money around […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A recent New York Times article revealed that the Pentagon briefly considered engaging in cyberwarfare at the outset of the actions in Libya, but decided against it for a variety of reasons.

What Are We Protesting Again?

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

As the Occupy Wall Street protesters finish their first month of protests, they seem more confused and disorganized than ever.

Why Is Steubenville, Ohio, A Model Of Economic Success?

Posted on by William Teach

I know the supporters of Obama’s failed and destructive policies would love to say “Obamanomics!” Alas, no (ABC News) Steubenville, Ohio, may not look like a city sitting on a multi-billion dollar industry.

You Meet The Nicest People At The Occupy Wall Street Protests

Posted on by John Hawkins

The Occupy protesters? They ARE the 99%! 99% of a hippie commune, 99% of a prison population, and 99% of the Nazi party. One of the Occupy crowd that was “fighting the power” in Seattle turned out to be a man who exposed himself to children five times in the area. He sounds like the […]
