On the Road to Totalitarianism With the Sixth Circuit

Last week’s decision on the constitutionality of Obamacare, which was handed down by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, is troubling on many fronts. Two of the three judges asserted that Congress has the authority under the Commerce Clause to compel individuals’ behavior by dint of their mere existence. A requirement that citizens purchase a […]

 


BDS2: Is Michele Bachmann’s Husband….Gay?

You’d think that, one day, the Left would figure out that we know exactly who scares the watermelon juice out of them by how much they attack that person/group. Conversely, we know who doesn’t scare them, because they say “that guy scares us!” (see John Huntsman). Michele Bachmann is on the top of the hit-list […]

 


Self Deception?

“All warfare is based upon deception” as China’s ancient Warcraft master taught, and like vClausewitz  (or maybe it was Batman) once sagely saged – self deception is the worst deception of all. Daemoneoconically delish Foundation For Defense of Democrazies President Clifford May (Oh! He got game bay bee!) points out 5 deceits – self imposed […]

 


Wisc. Firefighters Care More About Their Union Than 9/11 Memory

If you needed yet another example of why government employees should never be allowed to join unions, this is it. In Racine, Wisconsin the local fireman’s union got into an imbroglio over a July 4th parade float honoring the fallen first responders of the Sept. 11 attacks, a parade entry that the union supported previously.

Obama’s Lincoln/Railroad Gaffe, why Did Old Media Ignore This?

In keeping with the many dozens of gaffes that Obama has made over the years, Verum Serum found another one from last February that has, with the help of the Old Media, slipped under the radar. Just more proof that Obama’s constant gaffes go unreported by the Old Media while they search high and low […]

Michelle Bachmann Is Compassionate: Says She’ll Help Obama Find A Job

She’s a nice lady Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is getting more creative, and apparently more aggressive, in her political attacks against President Barack Obama. On Saturday, the Minnesota congresswoman took fresh jabs at the president. In one instance, Bachmann said she hoped to oust him from his current employment, become president herself — and […]

 


“McDonald’s as the Paradigm of Progress”

“A most impressive feature of capitalism that is highlighted in the McDonald’s case is how its institutions so beautifully adapt themselves to change. The drift is always upward: new and improved. And this drift is like a wind that never stops blowing unless it is stopped by the organized force of the state.”

 


Deconstructing the Latest White House Report on GDP and Job Creation

You are no doubt going to hear the weekend talk panels discussing the “bullish” new White House report on the economy and jobs creation which was released late Friday. You can decide where to file the “report.” : Here are the FACTS:

 

DSK “Rape” Scandal: Everyone is a Whore, Case Closed

Cross-posted at UNCOVERAGE.net My story yesterday about “following the buck” in the Dominique Strauss-Kahn rape case still stands….and now we have more clues about everyone’s motivation.

John Lennon’s Second Thoughts

Cross-Posted from FrontPage Magazine For more than 40 years Beatles member John Lennon towered above all others as the Left’s most powerful artistic icon. His anthem “Imagine” dreamed of a unified world that transcended the divides of nation-states and religious strife. It was an inspiration to generations of utopians. Now a new documentary reveals a […]

 


Pro-Life Group Thrown Out of Illinois July 4th Parade By Jaycees

Apparently, when no one was looking, the Jaycees became a pro-Infanticide group. I wonder about this because the United States Junior Chamber Jaycees has thrown the Palatine Area Catholics Respect Life Group out of the Palatine, Illinois July Fourth parade, preventing them from participating in this year’s celebration. The Jaycees claim that they have done […]

 

So maybe we don’t like the presidential primary system, but whaddayagonna do?

Six and a half months out, and Republican presidential candidates are already flocking to Iowa. New Hampshire, too. And for good reason: if the same candidate wins both those states, that candidate’s likely to be the Republican nominee for President. On the other hand, a candidate who does poorly in either or both is likely […]

 

Agenda 21: Conspiracy Theory or Real Threat?

Americans are so focused on Congress and Obama at the federal level of government right now that most are overlooking the socialism creeping in at the local level through Agenda 21. It is easy to overlook local government since people are saturated with too much information in the internet age. Compounding this is the fact […]

 

Don’t Film Me Bro: Getting Arrested for Filming People in Public Places

The law has not caught up with cell phone cameras, Flip Cameras, compact video cameras, and the electronic age. Two stories being reported last weekend prove out how the ubiquity of video capture devices are often a gray area in the law. In one case a woman in Rochester, New York, pulled out her video […]

 

Syrian Delirium

Suriya al- Kubra! Syria – punches far above her weight class in diplopolititary deals. Instead of cool stuff like Hooters, literacy rates off the charts or creating advanced avionics – Bashar Bay Bee follows poppa Assad’s script utilizing asymmetrical assets creating a slave trading Syria, abusing Palestinians as a strategic minority resource, fiddling about with […]

Deep in your heart, you just knew someone was going to link Independence Day and globull warming.

Obama’s Weekly Address: “Oh, I Almost Forgot, Have A Nice 4th Of July”

The conversation for NMP Obama’s Weekly Address probably went something like O.: I want to yammer on about corporate jets Staff: OK, that’s good, because Americans are really concerned about them. You should probably mention Independence Day O.: You mean that right wingnut holiday? Is that this weekend? What’s it about? S.: It’s Monday, Mr. […]

 

“Why the ‘Unexpected’ Keeps Happening”

Good piece. Especially nice is this reminder of one of Robert Heinlein’s great quotes: Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded – here and there, now and then – are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed […]
