Occupy Wall Street, Drugs, Working, and Being a 100 Percenter

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

This scathing and HILARIOUS blog post about the Occupy Wallstreeter’s “We Are the 99 Percent” posts, is not only funny (hysterically so) for those of us on the right, but it really does illustrate the different mind set of each side. Although the authors of the piece, Lori and Jenn, mock the notes written, the […]

 

How Obama Is Bypassing Democracy, Congress and YOU

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Phil Kerpen has a warning for you, America. He wants to alert you to the fact that Barack Obama is using his powers to create regulations to undermine Congress, ignore voters, and “radically transform America.” But Kerpen also has some good news. There’s a way to stop this left-wing assault on our country. You can […]

 

Rep. Jan Schakowsky Thinks Gov’t ‘Creates Jobs’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Recently Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D, Illinois 9th District), whose husband has been convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion, was interviewed by the far left website truthout. You’ll remember truthout for its scoop back in 2009. It was truthout that was the first to report the big news that Karl Rove had been indicted. Unfortunately […]

 

Perry Pathetically Hits Romney On His Wealth, Plans To Join #OWS

Posted on by William Teach

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the minute Rick Perry jumped into the GOP presidential primary race, it turned much nastier, rather than just some jostling back and forth. It was more focused on each candidate providing their ideas on the future of America, and the candidates were running more against Obama […]

 

Reid’s Nuclear Option Brings On The Law Of Unintended Consequences

Posted on by William Teach

Hey, Harry, don’t you just hate when your plans jump up and smack you right in the kisser? (The Hill) Senate Republicans vow they will retaliate for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) decision to unilaterally change the Senate’s rules Thursday without prior warning or negotiation. Republican aides say their bosses will now be even […]

 

Is America Building Kids’ Self-Esteem Or Creating Narcissism?

Posted on by John Hawkins

I’ve been reading Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength. It’s an outstanding book that I would highly recommend. Although the book is non-political, there was one particular section that really grabbed my attention. It was called “From Self-esteem to Narcissism.” Here’s an excerpt. Enjoy! Yes, students with higher self-esteem did have higher grades. But which […]

 

Socialism Isn’t About Roads, Parks, & Street Signs

Posted on by John Hawkins

Ever notice that whenever you complain about socialism and big government, someone pops up to say, “Oh, so you don’t like roads, school, and parks, eh? Why, I guess if you had your way the government wouldn’t do food safety inspections and we wouldn’t have a military.” Um….no, stupid. Those are the basics that ANY […]

 

Obama Team Split on How To Rally Unruly Coalition

Posted on by Michael Barone

President Barack Obama obviously is scrambling in his attempt to win re-election. He has proclaimed himself the underdog and has given up his pretense of being a pragmatic centrist compromiser in favor of harsh class warfare rhetoric. But it’s worth taking note of what he has squandered. In 2008, Obama won 53 percent of the […]

Wall Street and Its Occupiers: Both State Welfare Junkies

Posted on by Rachel Marsden

Since I first broke the news of the Occupy Wall Street protest plans in this space over a month ago, events, as predicted in that column, have turned into a cluster-hug of groups and causes. A collective of union members, antiwar activists and young people with apparently nothing better going on have gathered to vent […]

 

Occupy Wall Street Morons Pushing For Boycott Against Banks

Posted on by William Teach

And, when I call them morons, I’m not simply using typical language that us folks in political blogging use against our opponents (unlike those on the left, I do not consider them enemies, like the left thinks about the right): in this case, they are morons. Here’s a CNBC story from Friday which jumped into […]

 

Finger-Waving, Child-Like Protestors Refuse to Allow Left-Wing Congressman to Address Crowd

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This is the funniest thing I have ever… This is the funniest thing I’ve ever…. Seen in my life. Seen in my life. A bunch of child-like protesters in Atlanta, Georgia refused left-wing Congressman John Lewis — a civil rights icon to many — to be allowed to address the crowd this weekend. The whole […]

 

New Bill Introduced to Roll Back Obama’s Anti-Business NLRB Rules

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairman Rep. John Kline (R, Minn.) is tired of sitting around doing nothing while Obama ramps up his extremely anti-business, anti-jobs regulatory regime. So Kline has introduced a new bill to roll back some of these harsh rules. Since he became president Obama has been using his power to […]

 

“‘Putting profits over people’ is like ‘getting back to nature’. When, exactly, were you not in nature?”

Posted on by TrogloPundit

The Other McCain’s Smitty wonders about the “profits before people” complaint: Is there something unnatural about this keyboard? Does its matter not matter? Is it anti-matter? These physical objects are all derived, ultimately, from the Periodic Table of Elements, no? The real grip about arguments such as these is that they are first and foremost […]

 

“The project is to dilute the concept of individualism, thereby refuting respect for the individual’s zone of sovereignty.”

Posted on by TrogloPundit

That’s George Will, doing the kind of writing I wish I could do. He’s talking about Elizabeth Warren, the Senate candidate challenging Scott Brown, who now-famously said: “There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there – good for you. But I want to be […]

 

Do Solyndra Emails Show Potential Illegality?

Posted on by William Teach

Yesterday, the Washington Post published a story about the push for Solyndra loan coming from the top at the White House. That story came out around 4pm Friday. I, like many others covered it. That story has been heavily re-written by the authors late Friday night (at least the link goes to the story, and […]

 

Business Leaders Love Hagen-McCain Profit Repatriation Bill; Harry Reid, Not So Much

Posted on by William Teach

No matter what one may say about Senators Kay Hagan (D-NC) and John McCain (R-Az), this is damned wonderful idea, one which has been kicked around for a long time (WRAL) Several prominent business leaders from North Carolina are backing a bi-partisan bill in the U.S. Senate that would cut dramatically the tax rate on […]

 

Have Faith: If the Media Wants to Hurt You, It Will. The Question Is–How Much?

Posted on by Ronn Torossian

This is an excerpt from Ronn Torossian’s new book: For Immediate Release: Shape Minds, Build Brands, and Deliver Results with Game-Changing Public Relations. We represent some of the leading Christian ministers and evangelical churches in the United States. There is one for who we do not grant interviews with certain reporters, specifically those reporters who […]

 

If Steve Jobs Were Conceived 2 Decades Later, He Would Have Been Aborted

Posted on by Chris Kobus

I have said many times in my old blog that we are committing societal suicide via abortion, with our birth rate now so low that our culture is barely sustainable by any economic model. But the even bigger tragedy is the limitless possibilities of what those unborn people, and their descendants, could have contributed to […]

 

Why Isn’t Obama’s Teacher Lie National News?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

During the latest campaign appearance disguised as a presidential press conference, President Obama uttered one straight out lie that stands out above the rest of them. To help sell his “jobs bill,” Obama claimed to have met a Boston-based teacher named Robert Baroz and intimated that Baroz had no job despite his excellent teaching credentials. […]

 

In Pictures: How Much the Top Earners Already Pay in Taxes

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

America has heard a lot of talk about the “Buffett Rule” – President Barack Obama’s plan to make the tax code more “fair” by permanently raising taxes by $1.5 trillion over 10 years, with most of the burden falling on families and businesses earning more than $250,000 per year. But if he wants to talk […]

 

Don’t Get Rid of the Electoral College

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Ever since Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the 2000 presidential election, there has been a major push to abandon the Electoral College system. Superficially, there is a sense that the election was unfair and everyone’s vote did not count equally.: Three or four: times in history we have elected a president who did not […]

 

We Shouldn’t Ignore the Danger Of Occupy Wall Street

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

Occupy Wall Street is growing with protests across the country. We on the right have had fun making fun of the protesters protesting against capitalism and corporatism while using all the corporate products that we all enjoy, but I think it’s time we stopped making fun of them. Because whether you think they are silly […]
