Posted on by Dennis Avery

CHURCHVILLE, VA–Our ironic thanks to Smoky the Bear’s campaign manager, the Sierra Club, and all those well-meaning folks who have just delivered the second-largest wildfire in Arizona history.

Leon Panetta’s Communist Ties

Posted on by Dave Blount

Barack Hussein Obama, protégé of Frank Marshall Davis and Bill Ayers, isn’t the only member of the current misadministration with communist ties.

Obama Bombs Bombing Libya

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Obama has bungled hawkish military action in Libya so badly that even Republicans now appear to be opposing military engagement. While many people have doubts about intervening in the “Arab spring” uprisings sweeping the Middle East, there are a couple of despotic tyrants that most Americans agree must be removed. Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi is […]

 

Libyan Box

War Powers! “44 has not sought, and Congress has not provided, authorization for the introduction or continued involvement of Great Satan’s Armed Forces in Libya.:  Congress has the constitutional prerogative to withhold funding for any unauthorized use of Great Satan’s Armed Forces, including for unauthorized chicanery regarding Libya.” Whee!

Illinois Congressmen Help Tip in Big Labor Amendment

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On Monday I alerted you all to a jobs-killing, union-favoring amendment being considered in the House of Representatives in Washington, one that needed to be defeated.

Obama Puts Unions Ahead of a Healthy Economy, Free Trade

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President Obama claims that he wants to “create jobs,” and is happily touting several policies that he claims will create jobs in this jobless, non-recovery. Unfortunately, all his polices really do is shore up the high cost unions that kill job growth. As GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConell says, Obama has “relentlessly pursued an […]

NY Times Editorial Board Hated The GOP Debate

Posted on by William Teach

Hence, the Republicans on display must have actually done a good job! (Fish Wrap) Monday’s Republican presidential debate in New Hampshire – full of historical error, economic obfuscation, avoidance of hard truths and even outright bigotry – was a feast for connoisseurs of political dysfunction. Desperate to avoid being outflanked on the right, the seven […]

 

Asking Americans For Tax Reform A Simple Question: Are You Getting Paid To Take Your Ethanol Position?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Grover Norquist has been fighting tooth and nail to protect ethanol subsidies (I know that in theory, he says that he’s not doing that, but in practice, that’s what he’s doing). In fact, Norquist has even been portraying people who don’t want to waste any more taxpayer money on ethanol subsidies as supporting a “tax […]

 

Assisted Suicide: I’m Not Against It, But…

Posted on by John Hawkins

You hear people say that there are no easy answers. That’s often not true. There are a lot of easy answers, even if they’re not always politically correct or what people want to hear. However, assisted suicide is one of those places where there really are no easy answers. Personally, I don’t have any ethical […]

 

Quislings Enable Islamic Thuggery in England

Posted on by Dave Blount

Conquering England isn’t easy. It hasn’t been done since 1066. Fortunately for Muslim invaders, they have help from quislings on the inside: Victims say that officers in the borough of Tower Hamlets have ignored or downplayed outbreaks of hate crime, and suppressed evidence implicating Muslims in them, because they fear being accused of racism. The […]

 

Cal. Union Launches Effort to Recruit Republican Candidates

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This is a novel approach. The Service Employees International Union (SEIU), one of the largest government employee unions in the nation, has decided that they’ve had enough of all those darn Republicans that are… well… acting like Republicans. So, the union has lighted on a new way to be rid of all those darn Republican-like […]

 

Thoughts on the CNN Republican Debate

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Well the CNN debate of some of the GOP candidates for president is now in the history books and I thought I’d give my impression of those vying there. Before I do that, I have to comment on John King’s constant guttural vocal tick. It sounded like he had Tourette Syndrome with the grunts and […]

 

Why, Yes, Michelle Bachmann Is Running, And She Hit A Homer During Debate

Posted on by William Teach

Because we need to have at least one candidate who represents the TEA Party and conservatives.

If Sarah Palin isn’t going to jump in, who better than Bachmann? […]

Rush Limbaugh: Liberal Women Are To Blame For The Weiner Scandal

Posted on by John Hawkins

Some people, liberal feminists in particular, probably won’t like Rush Limbaugh’s take on the Anthony Weiner. However, there’s a lot of truth to it. A whole lot of truth… It’s impossible for women to engage in sexual missteps like Weiner did. Of course, who are all those school teachers that are engaging in predatory behavior […]

 

Mitt Romney Is The Frontrunner In The Same Way That Donald Trump Was The Front Runner

Posted on by John Hawkins

It seems to be an item of faith that Mitt Romney is the nearly unstoppable frontrunner and all the other candidates in the GOP’s 2012 field are desperately trying to catch up. But in truth, while Mitt could technically be called the frontrunner, he’s not “the man to beat” in any meaningful sense. Sure, Mitt […]

It’s not what you believe; it’s what you do with those beliefs that counts

Posted on by Bookworm

The discussion on my recent climate change post has one side saying “expert consensus” and the other side saying “facts.” Let me state something very important here: An expert consensus is not a fact. Experts used to think the sun revolved around the earth (wrong), that bad air caused disease (wrong), that spicy food and […]
