So, Obama Gave A Speech On Immigration: Just A Distraction?

Posted on May 11, 2011 by William Teach

Exactly what was the point of NotMyPresident Obama heading down to the border and giving a speech about “immigration reform”? Other than an excuse to be able to use Air Force 1 on “official business”, meaning he didn’t have to pay for the entire flight from campaign funds, as he was scheduled to attend several […]

Christians Shouldn’t Approve Of Churches Being Made Into Mosques

Posted on May 11, 2011 by John Hawkins

If you’re Christian, then you shouldn’t do anything to help false religions prosper. That’s why this is so bizarre, A Muslim group plans to turn a church into a mosque after Swedish pentecostalists decided to sell a superfluous property in Flen in eastern Sweden in a display of “Christian love”. …However, selling the church to […]

Palin’s Problem Isn’t What She’s Done; It’s Who She Is

Posted on May 11, 2011May 13, 2011 by John Hawkins

Over at Commentary, John Podhoretz has noted Sarah Palin’s dramatic loss of popularity and is speculating on why it has happened. Alas, as Levin suggested might happen and as Green says has happened, Palin came almost immediately to inhabit a different role in the American body politic–not the “maverick” she was chosen to be by […]

Thumbs Up To Boehner’s Debt Ceiling Deal Offer

Posted on May 10, 2011May 10, 2011 by John Hawkins

I am not one of those conservatives who thinks we should never raise taxes. Like Reagan, I believe there’s a time and a place for tax increases. However, as I’ve written, “it would be a terrible idea to raise taxes on anybody right now, whether it’s by letting the Bush tax cuts expire or by […]

E.J. Dionne: The Taxpayers Losing Billions? It’s A Huge Success!

Posted on May 10, 2011May 10, 2011 by John Hawkins

This column from E.J. Dionne Jr. tells you so, so, so much about the way liberals think or, more aptly, don’t think at all about certain subjects… Rescuing Detroit: No news about government’s good news Don’t expect to see a lot of newspapers and Web sites with this headline: “Big Government Bailout Worked.” But it […]

Johnathan Perkins, Privileged Victim of Make-Believe Racism

Posted on May 10, 2011 by Dave Blount

University of Virginia law school student of politically correct ethnicity Johnathan Perkins has made a contribution to the vast and ever-expanding store of phony hate crimes. His terrifying tale: Perkins made his allegations in a letter to the editor of the U.Va. law school’s student newspaper, Virginia Law Weekly. He sent a copy to the […]

Obama Regime Stonewalls Investigation Into Gun Running Outrage

Posted on May 10, 2011 by Dave Blount

The “mainstream” media has been trying to suppress the story; but then, it initially tried to suppress Monica Lewinsky too. In the age of the Internet, nothing as explosive as the federal government attempting to cover up a program to undercut the Second Amendment by facilitating the illegal traffic of American guns into the hands […]

In the mad, mad, mad world of PC, silly little jokes about Islamist terrorists have only a one minute shelf life

Posted on May 10, 2011May 10, 2011 by Bookworm

This morning, my friend Kim Priestap sent a group of us an email telling about the Yemeni man arrested for trying to yank open the cockpit door while hollering the standard “Allahu Akbar!” Lee DeCovnik thinks we might have been seeing a dry run. The man apparently raced from one end of the plane (the […]

Is Obama Deliberately Trying To Sabotage Our Own War In Afghanistan? It Sure Looks Like It.

Posted on May 10, 2011May 12, 2011 by John Hawkins

Barack Obama’s entire presidency has been characterized by bumbling and amateurishness. This is an inexperienced President who doesn’t know how to govern and either doesn’t have advisers capable of explaining how things work to him or he doesn’t listen to those advisers. This has been particularly noticeable in foreign affairs where his bowing and bungling […]

Liberal “Patriotism” In Quotes (20 Quotes)

Posted on May 10, 2011August 27, 2011 by John Hawkins

It has been heartwarming to see a few liberals actually thumping their chests about America in the wake of Osama Bin Laden’s death via old age and a bullet to the face (but mostly a bullet to the face.) It’s just so nice to see our liberal brethren feeling, for a few brief moments at […]

The Great Jambalaya of Frauds

Posted on May 10, 2011May 10, 2011 by Kathleen McKinley

A good line from former Sen. Hollings about the fraud that is Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid: “The public fully supported enactment of hefty new Social Security taxes in 1983 to ensure the retirement program’s long-term solvency and credibility. The promise was that today’s huge surpluses would be set safely aside in a trust fund […]

Climate Change (Hoax) Could ‘Disrupt Wi-Fi And Power Supplies’

Posted on May 10, 2011 by William Teach

All because someone, probably the Scottish Skeptic, drove an SUV instead of walking 20 miles to work, causing the climate to do something and something else while doing another, therefore making it hot cold wet dry snowy icy, and now Climate change ‘could disrupt wi-fi and hit power supply’ Climate change will disrupt wi-fi connections, […]

Obama Is Back On The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bandwagon

Posted on May 10, 2011 by William Teach

Having solved all the other problems the nation faces, it’s apparently time to push shamnesty again.

Posted on May 9, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Columbia University announced last week that its Graduate School of Journalism is awarding its highest award to America’s enemies, Al-Jazeera TV. The university is awarding Al-Jazeera with its journalism award for the Arab-centric mid eastern “news” it has produced. Al-Jazeera is apparently being recognized for “singular journalism in the public interest.” “Al Jazeera English has […]

2 + 2 = We Must Raise Taxes Because White People Are Bad

Posted on May 9, 2011 by Dave Blount

Since moonbattery is a totalitarian ideology, nothing escapes from its poisonous lies — not even mathematics. Teachers unsure how to pass off indoctrination in race-based Marxism (a.k.a. “social justice”) as a math class can find resources to assist them at Radical Math: There are at least two related ideas behind “Social Justice Math”. The first […]

San Francisco Landlords Go Galt

Posted on May 9, 2011 by Dave Blount

Believing that housing should be provided at someone else’s expense, progressives are no friends of landlords, whom they persecute at every opportunity. Imagine how much fun it must be to provide people an opportunity to rent homes in a city completely run by moonbats — namely San Francisco. Some landlords have had enough: In San […]

President Obama’s 60 Minutes interview with Steve Kroft

Posted on May 9, 2011May 9, 2011 by Bookworm

My husband insisted last night that we watch BHO’s 60 Minutes interview with Steve Kroft — and then promptly fell asleep because, as he later said, “that was really dull.” My husband was right. I managed to stay awake, but it was an effort. This was my takeaway from the great orator’s talk: We, uh, […]

Immigration Reform Solutions

Posted on May 9, 2011 by Kathleen McKinley

Immigration reform is about to make headlines again. Will the GOP screw it up as they always do? Utah passed immigration reform already: Passed by the state’s GOP legislature and signed by Republican Governor Gary Herbert in March, Utah’s plan is notable because it’s the first in the country that would allow undocumented immigrants to […]

Use Of FISA Warrants Jumps Under Obama

Posted on May 9, 2011 by William Teach

Anyone notice the major media screaming about the Obama administration violating the rights of Americans? The following Wired post was published on May 6th. So, far, all quiet on the moonbat front: Domestic Surveillance Court Approved All 1,506 Warrant Applications in 2010 The secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court approved all 1,506 government requests to electronically […]

Oh, Good: Obama Has Dashed “Jimmy Carter” Label

Posted on May 9, 2011 by William Teach

So says cheerleader Alexandra, sorry, Alexander Burns at The Politico So much for campaigning against Jimmy Carter. In the aftermath of Osama bin Laden’s death, Republicans are adjusting to a new political reality: with the bin Laden trump card now in President Barack Obama’s possession, it’s looking increasingly likely the 2012 campaign will ride on […]

I Dream Of Ahmadinejad!

Posted on May 9, 2011May 9, 2011 by John Hawkins

Like me, many of you have probably said, “Know what politics could really use? More genies!” I mean, who wouldn’t want Barbara Eden granting them unlimited wishes? There’s an answer to that question, by the way — it’s the Iranians. Close allies of Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, have been accused of using supernatural powers to […]

The World’s Supposed To End On May 21?

Posted on May 9, 2011December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

This week-end, when I was in D.C., there were a surprising number of ads around the city proclaiming that the Bible says the world’s going to end on May 21. Of course, the Bible doesn’t say the world is going to end on the 21st. In fact, the guy predicting it has already gotten it […]

A couple of months back, I got an invite to the big yearly 2011 Media Research Center Gala. Since I’d never been before and I thought it would be a lot of fun, I decided to attend. Still, it’s a 7 hour drive for me into D.C. and if I was going that far, I […]

Talking with Jesse Kornbluth again, this time about whether Harvard grads get a free pass

Posted on May 8, 2011 by Bookworm

Jesse Kornbluth was again good enough to visit my post commenting upon his article lauding Andrew Sullivan as a blogger amongst bloggers. If I was a guy, and he and I had met in person, I would have slapped up on the back with a cheery “Hey, Jesse man, great to see you again.” I’ve […]

Knowledge in Society

Posted on May 8, 2011 by Lee Doren

I recently reread F.A. Hayek’s, “The Use of Knowledge in Society.” In my opinion, it is one of the most important essays ever written, but many people take it for granted. As a result, I made a video about it below. Hope you enjoy it.

Obama To Use Osama As Part Of His “Big Things” 2012 Campaign Tour?

Posted on May 8, 2011 by William Teach

Of course, the Washington Post puts a positive spin on using the tragedy of 9/11 as a campaign prop, something with which they would excoriate any Republican over doing, but, hey, he’s the Lightworker: Bin Laden raid fits into Obama’s ‘big things’ message Advisers to President Obama are tiptoeing carefully around the political bounce he […]
