Passover and the suffering necessary to end tyranny

Posted on by Bookworm

Tonight marks the first night of Passover, the ancient Jewish holiday celebrating the Jews’ release from bondage and, I think, their reaffirmed commitment to God. I wrote the following post last year for Passover, and republished it once more a few months ago. It focuses on Iran, but I think you could easily substitute Syria, […]

 

Geithner Confident GOP Will Cave on Debt Ceiling

Posted on by Dave Blount

If there’s one thing that all rational adults ought to be able to agree on, it’s that the debt ceiling needs to be dramatically lowered, not raised. Yet we read this: Congressional Republicans are trying to figure out which card to play next after the White House got into some high-stakes poker-playing over the weekend, […]

Having long crossed into the realm of self-parody, global warming hoaxers in the liberal establishment media see no reason to look back now.

Donald Trump Is Nothing More Than A Self Promoter, and Let’s End the Birther Nonsense

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

If any of you are thinking of taking Donald Trump seriously, please let me say to you…Have you lost your mind?! Trump is nothing more than a self promoter, and he cares about as much about conservative values and principles as Tiger Woods cares about celibacy. Trump has never been conservative. He has never been […]

 

Good News! CFLs Now Reported To Release Cancer Causing Vapors!

Posted on by William Teach

This is the kind of story that deserved an “oh, snap!” headline, but, I refrained, but, it is certainly an eye opener. Good thing Congress didn’t mandate that most incandescent light bulbs can no longer be manufactured and sold in the United States. From NoTricksZone (original story in German) I don’t have a single one […]

Before that happens, he is going to give “4 lucky reporters interviews,” per the front page of The Politico, to “discuss his vision for reducing our debt and bringing down our deficit, based on the values of shared responsibility and shared prosperity.”In other words, the reporters will be unpaid mouth pieces to promote O’s cocktail […]

 

Britain: Wear The Headscarf Or Die, Infidel Women

Posted on by John Hawkins

Years ago, Mark Steyn told me that in certain parts of Britain, non-Muslim women wore the veil because it kept them from getting harassed in the streets by Muslims. Apparently, some of the Islamic radicals in Britannia have decided to formalize the arrangement. Women who do not wear headscarves are being threatened with violence and […]

 

The Super Rich: Should We Hate Them Or Be Thanking Them?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Over at Yahoo, they’ve done a piece on the super rich that has a rather arbitrary negative slant to it. Sadly, that has become far too common of late. It’s called, Super rich see federal taxes drop dramatically. The Internal Revenue Service tracks the tax returns with the 400 highest adjusted gross incomes each year. […]

 

An Interview With Andrew Breitbart

Posted on by John Hawkins

I was pleased to have an opportunity to interview conservative media mogul Andrew Breitbartabout his new book “Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save the World! .” What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our conversation. I always find it fascinating when people who used to be liberal say they turned to the right. That […]

 

Profiles in Ineptitude: a Timeline of the Boehner Debacle

Posted on by Doug Ross

Can someone send a copy of Negotiating for Dummies to Speaker Boehner?

Was Lincoln REALLY a Secret Atheist?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Here we go again. This sort of nonsense that passes for journalism rehashing our history, and badly at that, always comes up when there’s some sort of anniversary in the offing. This time it is the 150th anniversary of the Civil War which gave Discovery News an excuse to cast Lincoln as the new atheist […]

Rep. Jackson, Jr. Blames iPad for Fob Losses – After Promoting on House Floor Last Month

Posted on by Sister Toldjah

To say that this guy is stupid on an epic scale would be an understatement. Real Clear Politics has the video of Jackson’s impassioned speech on the House floor, and notes the irony of the comments considering just a month prior he was promoting mandatory iPads for public school students on the House floor: Rep.

Can “Extreme Weather” Cause Tectonic Movement?

Posted on by William Teach

(Comments now open. Something went goofy while posting using iPhone after it missed it’s scheduled posting time) Why, yes, they are still pushing this People who are ridiculed for saying that earthquakes are a result of global warming could actually be right, scientists claim. Long-term climate change has the potential to spin Earth’s tectonic plates, […]

Elections have consequences, but, apparently only when His Royal Majesty Barack H. Obama is elected. Jake Tapper reports In a statement issued Friday night, President Obama took issue with some provisions in the budget bill – and in one case simply says he will not abide by it. Last week the White House and congressional […]

 

Trust Fund Moonbats Lobby for Those Who Earned Their Wealth to Be Looted

Posted on by Dave Blount

Taking the hypocrisy and depraved sanctimony that characterize liberalism to a new extreme of self-parody, useless trust fund moonbats have formed a tax-exempt corporation to enforce their demand that other rich people who unlike themselves actually earned their money turn over more of it to be flagrantly wasted by bureaucrats. “Our current tax system perpetuates […]

 

Keith Olbermann Admits That Abortion Is Murder

Posted on by Dave Blount

A few months ago Keith Olbermann was King of the Moonbats, lording it over the rest of the hard left kooks at MSNBC. But when Comcast replaced crony capitalist GE as the parent company of this bratty child, the brass immediately lost patience with Olbie’s obnoxious and egomaniacal antics, and sent him out the door […]

 

Democrat New Tone: Penn. Pol. Asks if She Can Kill a Colleague, ‘Blow His Brains Out’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Yes, it’s that new age of Democrat political civility rearing its ugly head yet again.

Before […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

GM, Obama’s favorite federally owned car company, was thrilled to report in March that sales figures for the Chevy Cruze helped put the company on the fast track to success but it wasn’t the best news when the wheels began to literally fall off the Cruze causing a recall of GM’s “success” story. As we […]

Have You Seen These Controversial Billboards? If Not, Now Is Your Chance!

Posted on by John Hawkins

Creative political billboards are always a lot of fun, but these are instant classics because they do something Republicans foolishly almost never do; they actually target black Americans. At some point, if the GOP wants black Americans to vote for us, we’ve got to go beyond talking about outreach to actually doing the outreach. Somehow, […]

 

Hate To Say This, But Pitchfork Pat’s Proclamation Of Peril Looks Genuinely Perilous

Posted on by John Hawkins

Although I’m not the biggest Pat Buchanan fan, when you’re right, you’re right. Pat’s right about the potential danger we face… But if Democrats are not going to do even minor surgery on Medicare and Medicaid and Republicans are not going to raise taxes, there is no hope of big budget deal to cut a […]

 

Rand Paul Absolutely Lays It Down On The Budget Compromise!

Posted on by John Hawkins

Normally, I don’t post whole speeches, but Rand Paul’s speech on the budget compromise was so exceptional, so extraordinary, so on point, that it deserves to get much wider play (Emphasis mine). You know, it’s amazing to me to be lectured to and hear about how awful the Tea Party is and what the Tea […]
