Using Obama’s 2008 Gaffe To Show How The MSM Creates A Narrative About A Candidate In Three Steps

Posted on by John Hawkins

Here’s how the mainstream media creates a political narrative about a candidate. 1) First of all, they project a trait onto a candidate. “Crazy,” “Stupid,” “Lazy,” “Out-of-Touch,” “Racist,” “Bad Tempered,” “Cool,” “Combative,” “Inexperienced,” “Radical,” “Controversial” — you get the idea. This trait may or may not have anything at all to do with reality, but […]

Hypocrisy: Obama’s Stock And Trade

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama’s National Labor Relations Board made itself infamous not long ago by attempting to tell Boeing in what state it was allowed to build a new manufacturing plant.

Political Candidates Ignore Social Media at their Peril

Here We Go: “Climate Change (Hoax)” Causing The Tornadoes

Posted on by William Teach

Bill McKibben, founder of the global climate campaign 350.org, is given a platform over at The Washington Post for this drivel: A link between climate change and Joplin tornadoes? Never!

What Say To The Palestinian Perspective?

Posted on by William Teach

Why, yes, The Politico is bringing us the Palestinian perspective on you not understanding that he really wasn’t talking about going back to 1967 border lines, just using them for the discussion about land swaps based on the 1967 lines. Because there’s a huge difference, mostly having to do with how Obama is going to […]

5 Reasons We Need To Reform Medicare Right Now

Posted on by John Hawkins

Are we going to reform Medicare before 2012? No, unfortunately the Democrats have decided that using Medicare as an election issue is more important than actually doing the right thing for the country.

Tenn. Voters To Get Chance to Say Abortion Not A ‘Protected Right’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This could shape up as a major battle between supporters of infanticide and pro-lifers in 2014.

American Government Must Be Torn Down and Rebuilt

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In New York you need a license to work as a gas pumper at a gas station. A contradiction since you do not need that expensive license, training, and government meddling to pump your own gas in New York. In Chicago it is supposedly illegal to fly a kite inside the city limits. In Delaware […]

This Is America And We Do Speak English Here, Even When Ordering Sandwiches

Posted on by John Hawkins

What we have here is a failure to communicate. Some men you just can’t reach…and then you’re not allowed to order a sandwich. Some chefs spend their lifetimes unsuccessfully slogging away to improve business. But all it took for Reedy Creek Diner chef Greg Simons in Lexington, North Carolina, was to put up a controversial […]

 

Is Cynthia McKinney Committing Treason?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Is this hang-by-the-neck until dead treasonous? If not, it’s awfully close to the line.
