A Teleconference With RNC Chairman Reince Priebus

Posted on by John Hawkins

RNC Chairman Rence Priebus held a blogger teleconference today. What follows are my notes, not quotes from the teleconference (unless a quote is specifically indicated.) Opening Statement I’ve always felt that the Republican Party isn’t in a contest with the conservative movement; we’re part of it. There’s one question I get all the time. It’s […]

 

France Commemorates D-Day With Pacifist Moonbattery

Posted on by Dave Blount

Yesterday was the 67th anniversary of D-Day, on which 1,465 American soldiers died to liberate France from German National Socialists. The French government saw fit to commemorate the date by allowing a moonbat artist to clutter the beach with this tasteless desecration: Original caption: An installation of 1,000 casts of Russian, German and American combat […]

 

Big Government Comes Out of the Closet at Federal LGBT Youth Summit

Posted on by Dave Blount

Once again our rulers confirm that encouraging homosexuality is a major aspect of the liberal agenda: Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius spoke at the first “Federal LGBT Youth Summit” on Monday after being introduced by a homosexual on her staff, who said the secretary “gets us” and is “tireless” in her support of […]

 

New York Times Columnist Kristof’s Foolishness

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The New York Times’ Nicholas Kristof is a simpleton. There is really no other way to say it, no gentler phrasing possible, to explain how childish and uncluttered his tiny little mind really is. The latest example of his utter inability to think clearly can be seen in Kristof’s screed against Americans that love America. […]

 

Booster Uses Rape Case to Sell Unions

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This one sure is disgusting. Remember that the chief of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was arrested for sexually assaulting a maid in New York? Well the leftist website AlterNet is using the DSK rapist incident to push unions. Like most leftists no crisis is too bad to exploit for union gains, I guess. […]

 

The Face Of The Modern Left

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

Michael Walsh of NRO nails it here. The Face Of The Modern Left: In his combination of unctuousness, mendacity, mock-reasonableness, petulance, bullying, hypocrisy, overweening arrogance, brazen aggression, self-pity, victimhood, and bogus moral preening, it’s hard to beat Congressman Anthony Weiner. ………………………….. I mean, how hard was it to see through Tony Weiner? Or an even […]

 

Climate Hoax Scientists Freak Out Over Schoolyard Taunts

Posted on by William Teach

These are all personal attacks! It’s awful! You freaking deniers, who should be locked up and hung, are just big meanies! Several Australian climate scientists have released email extracts that demonstrate the vitriol that fills their inboxes daily, saying the number of abusive emails has increased since the carbon tax was proposed. Climate scientists from […]

 

Breitbart’s Day Of Vindication, Cannonfire’s Day Of Delusion

Posted on by William Teach

There’s much sadness, and insanity, on the port side of the political aisle right now, vis a vis the Weiner affair. And Politico starts us off with In Andrew Breitbart’s up-and-down career as a conservative agitator, it doesn’t get any better than this. Ten days ago, he broke the Rep. Anthony Weiner Twitter scandal on […]

 

Can You Build A Whole Book Around Having Sex With Ari Fleischer?

Posted on by John Hawkins

You have to admit that this is a pretty hawt headline, “Sex and drugs rocks the Republican Party as ‘political press tart’ bares all in ‘sexpose’ book,” right? Sadly, the payoff isn’t quite as scintillating as the title. Republicans were left reeling by the publication of a new book written by a former political press […]

 

Barack Obama’s Legacy: A Nuclear Apocalypse?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Good news, everybody! Iran may be even closer to a nuclear weapon than we thought! The Iranian regime is closer than ever before to creating a nuclear bomb, according to RAND Corporation researcher Gregory S. Jones. At its current rate of uranium enrichment, Tehran could have enough for its first bomb within eight weeks, Jones […]

 

A sentimental service in a cynical society — our Navy

Posted on by Bookworm

Sentiment: “refined or tender emotion; manifestation of the higher or more refined feelings.” Ours is a cynical age. The traditional values that defined us as Americans (weirdly old-fashioned ideas such as the belief that we are a wholesome, good and honorable culture) seem to have been jettisoned. Even though I believe the majority of Americans […]

 

White House/Obama email information collection — it’s getting weird

Posted on by Bookworm

I received something peculiar in my email yesterday: A few things to note: 1. The email informs me that someone left a comment on “bookwormroom.wordpress.com,” a blog that has lain dormant for four years. 2. The Author’s name is an obvious nom de cyber — Trimegistus. 3. The Author leaves as his email address “flag@whitehouse.gov“. […]

 

Anthony Weiner Admits He Sent the Original Photo, Lied About It

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

To add to John’s coverage, I live tweeted the presser… Despite the many left-wingers spinning tales to make Weinergate the fault of conservative media mogul, Andrew Breitbart, Democrat New York Representative Anthony Weiner now admits that it was he who sent the original photo, that the underwear-clad person in the photo was indeed a photo […]

 

Pelosi Calls For Ethics Investigation Of Weiner….Wait, What?

Posted on by William Teach

Unfortunately, I missed Anthony Weiner’s press conference, with opening act Andrew Breitbart stealing the show (I once attended a concert which was Dave Edmunds, Marshall Crenshaw, and Special Guest. Said guest was Stevie Ray Vaughn, who stole the entire show), but, for a dinner hour cocktail, Nancy Pelosi asks for (headline: Weiner Wilts at Press […]

 

Obama’s Unemployment Success

Posted on by Dave Blount

Credit where it’s due — you can’t say Obama’s policies haven’t worked. Every initiative he has pushed has two common objectives: 1) increase the size and power of government and 2) keep unemployment numbers high to increase dependence on government. This chart from Business Insider shows how he’s doing on the unemployment front: Killing jobs […]

 

Breitbart Gets It Right. Liberal Media Gets It Wrong. Anthony Weiner Admits It!

Posted on by John Hawkins

The left side of the blogosphere bought into Anthony Weiner’s implausible claim that he was “hacked.” Why, Breitbart probably even had something to do with it! You know how that jerk is! Here are just a few of the many, many posts that were written along these lines, defending Weiner, vilifying Breitbart, if not outright […]

 

Obama Threatens to Cut Off Healthcare Funds to Indiana to Keep Taxpayer Cash Flowing Into Abortion Mill

Posted on by Dave Blount

Under gangster government, those states that do not advance the leftist agenda are not friends of Comrade Obama, and therefore must be punished. Arizona attempts to enforce federal law to slow down the demographic transformation of the Southwest into a Mexican slum; punished. South Carolina lets companies manufacture goods without excessive interference from unions; punished. […]

 

New ‘Reality’ TV Show To Focus On Race for 2012 Election

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

An interesting ad has recently appeared at the New York Craig’s List website which shows exactly how the left will be framing the upcoming 2012 presidential election. The ad asks for a family that represents “racial minorities” to be pitted against a family of “white conservatives.” It’s pretty clear they intend to make this whole […]

 

Big Unions Cooling on Obama?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Bloomberg has another unions-are-mad-at-Obama story this week and, while there is no doubt that unions are a bit miffed at the big “O,” we should all be cautioned about where Big Labor will put its support in 2012. Miffed or not, and quite contrary to what Bloomberg wants you to believe, Big Labor will support […]

 

Why, No, The GOP Hasn’t Given Up On “Repeal And Replace”

Posted on by William Teach

It’s just been very hard to do, considering that the GOP doesn’t control the Senate nor the White House. The Republican Party is going to have to get control of those two in 2012 in order to affect a full repeal and replace More than four months after their triumphant vote to scrap the Democrats’ […]

 

You’re Creating Global Warming Just By Reading This Story!

Posted on by John Hawkins

Oh, this is bad news! If the earth were warming right now and it was caused by man, then merely reading this article would be as naughty as Al Gore alone in a room with a pretty, young masseuse! It’s Saturday night, and you want to catch the latest summer blockbuster. You do a quick […]

 

Liberals Fight To Keep Welfare Recipients Addicted To Drugs

Posted on by John Hawkins

You’d think that stopping welfare checks from being spent on crack would be a relatively non-controversial proposal, but you’d be wrong since there are liberals involved. Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Sunday defended recent legislation that requires adults applying for welfare assistance to undergo drug screenings, saying the law provides “personal accountability.” “It’s not right […]

 

Don’t Like High Gas Prices? Democrat Report Says “Drive Less”

Posted on by William Teach

This one’s a few days old, hadn’t popped in to Grist for awhile, but, it’s a hoot, and exactly what one would expect from Delusional Democrats. Said Grist story, which boils it all down, comes via DC Streets Blog, which opens thusly Members of Congress of all stripes are trying to show that they’re concerned […]

 

Know Who Really Doesn’t Deserve A Peace Prize? Noam Freaking Chomsky

Posted on by John Hawkins

Noam Chomsky hates America just as much as Osama Bin Laden did, he works just as tirelessly as Bin Laden ever did to harm the country, but he doesn’t kill people. Instead, Chomsky pushes vacuous real-time, historical hate fiction that convinces people to despise America. Giving him a peace prize for that is like giving […]

 

Finally — an Amazon product that has something for everyone

Posted on by Bookworm

Obscenely overpriced product? Check. Ridiculous discount?:  Check. Product description riddled with grammatical errors and pretentious, unintelligible language? Check. Customer “reviews” that are worth their weight in gold? You betcha. I hereby present the Plodes RECH reDO Lawn Chair – Black Leather with White Stitching and Cherry Arms.
