Posted on by John Hawkins

But like Louis XVI, British authorities are paralyzed by their indifference to their own civilization. A half-century of berating themselves for the crime of being British has left them morally defenseless. They see nothing about England worth saving, certainly not worth fighting for — which is fortunate since most of their cops don’t have guns. […]

 

Early Iowa Debate Analysis: Winners And Losers

Posted on by John Hawkins

Summary: Fox fired off a lot of “gotcha” questions and quite frankly, if any other network had done this debate, conservatives would be up in arms about all of the “media bias.” Going on to the candidates, there was no stand-out performance.

Posted on by Dave Blount

Militant sodomites want to push the moonbat brainwashing prevalent on PBS’s Sesame Street to a new level of degeneracy by having the Muppet characters Ernie and Bert go through a homosexual “marriage.” Time Magazine predictably loves the idea: Although Sesame Street‘s creators have never said the two characters are gay, viewers have long speculated that […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Britain is burning. It will be here soon enough, the rampaging bands of useless youths coursing through England destroying property and looting stores as they go. Why will it be here?

As Kelly tried to ask his question, the reporters standing next to Kelly tried […]

Latest Excuse For Obama Jobs Distraction? The Rest Of The World

Posted on by William Teach

No, really. Now, this is not an excuse that Team Obama is making themselves, but one that Josh Gerstein at The Politico provides, but, surely Team Obama will integrate it into their litany of Blamestorming talking points regarding Why Obama Fails Freed at last from the debt ceiling negotiations, President Barack Obama is vowing an […]

 

Good News: Another Potential Disaster We’re Undoubtedly Completely Unprepared To Handle

Posted on by John Hawkins

Despite the fact that the government is slow, stupid, and incompetent, if there’s a terrorist attack, natural disaster, plague or other mini-apocalypse, we just expect it to be ready to handle it. Of course, as we found out during 9/11, the California blackouts, Hurricane Katrina, and the Gulf spill, our government gets caught with its […]

 

The 2011 Version Of Harrison Bergeron Mental Handicaps: Social Networking

Posted on by John Hawkins

If you’ve never read Kurt Vonnegut’s extraordinary short story Harrison Bergeron, then you should. It’s short, extremely well written, and it’s a poignant commentary on the Left’s never-ending efforts to pull down society’s most successful people instead of helping to build up everyone else. In the story, everyone is given handicaps to make them “equal.” […]

 

New Video Courtesy of Ben Howe: ‘Failure of Leadership’

Posted on by Susannah Fleetwood

My third grade teacher, Sister Therese, used to always say, “Be careful what you pray for–you just might get it”.

However, as my friend Ben Howe demonstrates in his brilliant new video, Obama forgot to ask God (or Gaia) […]

 

The Rise of the Mob Has Begun Here Too

Posted on by Dave Blount

Just because England got a head start on the road through liberalism toward oligarchical collectivism, don’t assume the explosion of mob violence there is still distant in our future. It has already begun here, but goes unreported because of the racial component. From American Thinker: The wave of racist violence committed by black flash mobs […]

 

Union Thugs Attack Communication Lines, Desecrate Funeral Homes

Posted on by Dave Blount

Having the backing of the most aggressively pro-union president since FDR seems to have thrown the thuggery that characterizes these pernicious organizations into overdrive.

Unions Lose BIG In Wisconsin Recall Efforts

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Oh, the union thugs in Wisconsin will certainly try to act as if winning a mere two of the six recall elections of the Republican State Senators in the Cheese State was a big win… but it wasn’t. In fact, this recall nonsense shows that the union issues were a huge failure. After all, they […]

 

AGW Today: Boiling Flipper And Empowering Women

Posted on by William Teach

Let’s start with yet another bit of deranged climate alarmism.

Why The Government Doesn’t Work: Pretending Cuts Have Actually Happened

Posted on by William Teach

Senator Ben Nelson had an op-ed piece posted this morning at The Politico entitled Close the tax loopholes.

A Brilliant Take On The British Riots

Posted on by John Hawkins

“They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.” — Hosea 8:7 Brendan O’Neill, who’s a lefty, has an absolutely fascinating take on the British Riots.

The Left Comes Up Short In Wisconsin

The Best Email Headline I’ve Gotten This Month: Story Tip, Cindy Sheehan Open To White House Run, Dancing With The Stars

Posted on by John Hawkins

Cindy Sheehan has always been a tragic and somewhat pathetic figure. After her son Casey died in Iraq, the Left latched onto her as an anti-war spokesperson. This was not because of charisma since she’s a plodding speaker. It’s also not because of genius — because she’s never come across as a particularly bright woman. […]

Posted on by John Hawkins

Garden Gnome World seems to be exactly what it sounds like: A place to buy Garden Gnomes for people who are into that sort of thing.

AGW Today: Is Barney Frank Responsible For Global Warming?

Posted on by William Teach

Perhaps we should feed him some garlic, but, then, we wouldn’t be treated to this bit of funny, via The Blaze Gawker may have put it best: “As you’ll see, his hips most definitely don’t lie.” During an appearance on Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC show last night, Dem.
