Independence Day!

Posted on July 4, 2011 by Courtney Messerschmidt

Joyeuex anniversaire Great Satan! “The flames kindled on the 4th of July 1776, have spread over too much of the globe to be extinguished by the feeble engines of despotism; on the contrary, they will consume these engines and all who work them.” Pic – “Independence 4ever!”

On the Road to Totalitarianism With the Sixth Circuit

Posted on July 4, 2011July 6, 2011 by Doug Ross

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 […]

Happy Independence Day: Plant A Tree

Posted on July 4, 2011July 4, 2011 by William Teach

Treehugger has a rather interesting story about The Liberty Tree The story of America’s struggle for independence tells tale of heroic men and women united in their noble quest for freedom — but one of the most enduring figures at the center of that revolution was not a person at all. Years before the Founding […]

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

Posted on July 4, 2011July 7, 2011 by William Teach

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 […]

The preacher’s son

Posted on July 4, 2011July 2, 2011 by Craig Newmark

This is a pretty old joke, but it seems appropriate to retell it on this Fourth: An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young Men his age, the boy didn’t really know what he wanted to do, […]

Self Deception?

Posted on July 3, 2011 by Courtney Messerschmidt

“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 […]

First John Lennon, now Bill Clinton?

Posted on July 3, 2011 by TrogloPundit

Bill Clinton said what? When I was president, we raised the corporate income-tax rates on corporations that made over $10 million [a year]. It made sense when I did it. It doesn’t make sense anymore — we’ve got an uncompetitive rate. We tax at 35 percent of income, although we only take about 23 percent. […]

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

Posted on July 3, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

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?

Posted on July 3, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

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

Posted on July 3, 2011 by William Teach

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 […]

“Some Advice for the GOP”

Posted on July 3, 2011June 29, 2011 by Craig Newmark

Greg Mankiw argues and I agree with him 100%: My advice: Amend your line in the sand to NO INCREASES IN TAX RATES.: Be willing to give up on tax expenditures if we simultaneously make current tax rates permanent–or, better yet, if we: lower rates, as the Bowles-Simpson commission suggested.

“McDonald’s as the Paradigm of Progress”

Posted on July 3, 2011June 29, 2011 by Craig Newmark

“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

Posted on July 2, 2011July 2, 2011 by Jane Jamison

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

Posted on July 2, 2011July 2, 2011 by Jane Jamison

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. The conclusion is: Just about everyone involved in this DSK scandal, from beginning to end, is an amoral piece of crap.

John Lennon’s Second Thoughts

Posted on July 2, 2011July 2, 2011 by David Swindle

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

Posted on July 2, 2011July 4, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

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?

Posted on July 2, 2011 by TrogloPundit

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?

Posted on July 2, 2011 by Rachel Alexander

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

Posted on July 2, 2011July 2, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

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

Posted on July 2, 2011 by Courtney Messerschmidt

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 […]

Why, Yes, Think Progress Blames Fireworks Cancellations On Globull Warming

Posted on July 2, 2011 by William Teach

Deep in your heart, you just knew someone was going to link Independence Day and globull warming. In this case, it’s George Soros funded Think Progress: Global Warming Hates The Fourth Of July As fossil fuel pollution heats the planet, one of the casualties is the traditional celebration of the founding of the United States.

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

Posted on July 2, 2011 by William Teach

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”

Posted on July 2, 2011June 29, 2011 by Craig Newmark

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 […]

Rebutting the Paradox of Choice

Posted on July 1, 2011July 1, 2011 by Lee Doren

In my last video, I critiqued a woman who argued that too many choices are bad. She claimed choices create paralysis and depression. Well, I just realized that this absurd view is quite common. Here is another video response. Enjoy!
