Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Half of America’s energy comes from coal-fired power plants but Obama’s new EPA rules would about destroy the coal industry driving our energy costs through the roof.

Goshen College: The Star Spangled Banner Is Anti-Christian And “Too Divisive.”

Posted on by John Hawkins

Over at anti-American U AKA Goshen College, they’ve banned the Star Spangled Banner — even if they’re too gutless to tell the truth about it. In a Facebook message posted Wednesday afternoon, Indiana’s Goshen College distanced itself from rumors that it had “banned” the playing of “The Star Spangled Banner” at sports games because the […]

 

Why Does the Mainstream Media Never Agonize Over The Privacy Of Conservatives?

Posted on by John Hawkins

I do believe that the press pries too deeply into people’s private lives. Also, as I wrote yesterday, I felt bad for Anthony Weiner’s wife Huma. Still, this rubs me the wrong way. The news that Anthony Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, is pregnant had been known and agonized over in newsrooms, including this one, for […]

Concerns Over Illegal Immigration Becoming Mainstream

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Once upon a time opposition to illegal immigration was championed by a few special interest groups and outspoken leaders like Tom Tancredo and Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Not so anymore. Regular sheriffs like Arizona’s Paul Babeu of Pinal County and Larry Dever of Cochise County are speaking up loudly about their frustrations dealing with it.   […]

 

Death Without Dignity in Socialist Hospital

Posted on by Dave Blount

As Big Government consolidates control of the healthcare industry under ObamaCare, we will come to know first-hand what the term “socialized medicine” means. In the meantime, we can just look over the border to Canada, or across the sea to England, where this picture was taken: Background on the photo: Nurses casually stepped over a […]

 

Debbie Wasserman Schultz Literally Says the Opposite of What She Means

Posted on by Dave Blount

Don’t you hate it when people use the word “literally” to mean literally the opposite of literally? One of the worst offenders against the English language in this regard is the Chairmoonbat of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz. CNS News extracts a few examples from her hyperbolic ravings: Wasserman Schultz … recently backed off her […]

 

Weiner did a bad thing and being pro-abortion doesn’t give him a pass

Posted on by Bookworm

A few months ago a movie came out based on a premise that was, for me, an entirely new concept: a Hall Pass or, license from ones spouse to have sex, once, outside of marriage. (I understand that the movie, which I didn’t see, ultimately made the point that having an affair isn’t as easy […]

 

Healthcare: Let The States Decide

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The debate about healthcare coming from the Democrats is steeped in purposeful misdirection on one hand and a complete lack of any real knowledge about what Obamacare will even do on the other. It is also a major overreach on a federalism level which is why it is hard to understand why more people aren’t […]

 

More Dept. Of Education Stormtroopers: They Are Armed With Shotguns! (Seriously!)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As William was saying below, there really is more to this story. Yesterday I wrote a short post on the story out of California that was initially reported as a local SWAT raid instigated by the Department of Education on a guy that hadn’t paid his student loans.

Say, You Remember That SWAT Raid Over Financial Aid Story From Wednesday?

Posted on by William Teach

Well, there might be a wee bit more to it than originally came out.

No Apologies From Mitt Romney For Globull Warming Stance

Posted on by William Teach

Mitt Romney is, in my estimation, a great candidate, and perhaps the best one to defeat Obama in the 2012 general election. While he certainly has several squishy Conservative positions, he also has excellent experience as both a business executive and as a political executive. He will appeal easily to the moderate and middle ground […]

 

Liberals Pick On The Kids At The Special Olympics To Try To Get At Scott Walker

Posted on by John Hawkins

Liberals are not exactly known for their capacity for shame or their attention to decorum. Whether it’s teaching kids to do songs praising Obama or turning a funeral into a campaign rally, they’re willing to go as far as it takes to get their point across, even if that point is “Free MUMIA” or “BUSH […]

 

Michele Bachmann Should Fire Ed Rollins For His Comments About Sarah Palin

Posted on by John Hawkins

I’m a Michele Bachmann fan and, yes, she is one of the people I would seriously back for President. I also like and respect Ed Rollins, even if I don’t always agree with him and am forced to note that his track record has been awfully spotty over the last 15 years. That brings us […]

 

Self-Mutilating Inmate Demands Free Sex Change

Posted on by Dave Blount

Remember Stanley Thornton, the “adult baby” who spends his days wallowing in an oversized crib and soiling his diapers on the taxpayers’ dime, and who threatened to kill himself if Big Government cuts off the flow of other people’s money? Convict Ophelia De’lonta has issued a still more disturbing threat. The inmate at Buckingham Correctional […]

 

Obama Regime Is Using UN to Circumvent Second Amendment

Posted on by Dave Blount

George Washington called our right to bear arms “the people’s liberty’s teeth.” It’s not a question of if the authoritarian collectivists who are consolidating total control of the country will try to pull those teeth, but when and how. The answers appear to be soon and through the malignant United Nations. It may not come […]

 

Hollywood ‘Comedian’ Calls for Assassination of Sarah Palin

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Jeff Poor at the Daily Caller has a disturbing story this week. It’s all about a so-called Hollywood comedian telling a talk show audience that he would assassinate Sarah Palin were she to become President of the United States. He wasn’t being “funny” either, was he? After all, those Hollywierders that blamed the right for […]

The Earth Is Full, And We Need A Happiness-Driven Growth Model….DERP?

Posted on by William Teach

The NY Times’ Thomas Friedman brings full bore Barking Moonbat Syndrome, adding in so many Liberals insanity models, but, mostly forgets to offer, you know, solutions. This is what Liberals are best at: bitching and whining, but, refusing to offer a path to fixing the problem, as well as refusing to Do Something themselves. Anyhow, […]
