WARNING: If You Use Carbonite Computer Backup Service, Cancel it NOW

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

There is accidental “hypocrisy,” where you didn’t actually realize that you have committed the logic/moral sin, and then there is rank hypocrisy, that time when you do two things that are totally opposite each other yet you defend both. The on-line computer backup company, Carbonite, has committed the latter over this business with Slutgate and […]

 

Slut-Gate: Obama’s Orchestrated, Left-Wing Campaign Plan

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

You know the story by now, right? Republicans run the he-man women haters club. As the media has it the story goes like this: poor, unassuming, innocent Georgetown coed, accidentally ends up in front of Congress pleading for “reproductive rights.” Evil mean conservatives led by scalawag Rush Limbaugh unfairly call her a slut and announce […]

 

Liberals Losing Their Collective Minds Over Rush Comments

Posted on by William Teach

I really thought Sunday’s post regarding Rush’s apology would be the last (and only) post on the topic, as, really this whole thing is cheap theater designed to deflect from Obama’s horrible record. I’m surprised Team Obama didn’t wait till closer to the actual election to trot the issue out. And, let’s face it, Rush […]

 

The Left’s Crazy Cat Lady Theory Of Government

Posted on by John Hawkins

Liberals LOVE bait and switch tactics. They debate one thing and when you disagree with them, they pretend they were talking about something else. You oppose making the Catholic Church give people free contraception so they can use it at the Daytonna Beach wet t-shirt contest and whore-off and they claim you really oppose letting […]

 

Obama To Congressional Dems: You’re On Your Own, Chumps

Posted on by William Teach

First he spends lots of time campaigning against Congress, which is obviously meant to be about Republicans, but, catches Democrats up in the negativity, too. And now he refuses to share the wealth (Politico) President Barack Obama has a bleak message for House and Senate Democrats this year when it comes to campaign cash: You’re […]

James Q Wilson: A Happy American Life

Posted on by Michael Barone

Few social scientists, and even fewer political scientists, have done as much to improve American life as James Q. Wilson, who died last week at age 80. His name is familiar to three decades of college students who studied the American government textbook he co-authored, though one wonders whether they would recall it without the […]

 

DJEver Notice? LXXII

Posted on by Morgan Freeberg

Perhaps because there is this perception that the availability of birth control devices — for free! — is a winning issue for democrats this election year, suddenly it’s all contraceptives, all the time. That could be because a winning issue for democrats exists nowhere else. We’re out of toothpaste: Contraceptives. Case of hemmarhoids: Contraceptives. Car […]

Our Long National Nightmare Is Over: Rush Apologizes Over Slut Comment

Posted on by William Teach

Whew! (Rush Limbaugh) For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week. In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke. I think it is absolutely absurd that during these […]

 

Rush Limbaugh Is Not The Problem

Posted on by Michael Fell

This is not a defense of Rush Limbaugh. Rush can take care of himself. This is about a much bigger problem within a much bigger picture. Have you seen the latest hit piece on Yahoo’s Destination 2012 web-site by David Crary of the Associated Press? Not surprisingly, this latest salvo is aimed directly at Rush […]

 

From a Plea for Choice to a Roar of Entitlement

Posted on by Debra Saunders

Though the Obama administration’s decision to force church-based institutions to provide “access” to contraception as part of their health plans was intolerant and unconstitutional and gratuitously divisive, events have proved the move to be brilliant politics. The White House later came up with a phony compromise — one that allows church-affiliated employers to opt out […]

 

Warren Buffett’s Secretary Shouldn’t Have to Buy Sandra Fluke’s Birth Control

Posted on by Morgan Freeberg

Thatisall. File it away under “Say it and watch liberal heads go pop.” Update: The Great One caves in. Partially. But it’s still a cave-in. My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word […]

 

Worst President Ever: Obama’s Intimidation Tactics Continue

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama and his campaign apparatus have been filling the minds of possible campaign donors with calumnies and untruths about the left’s newest, favorite whipping boys: the Koch brothers. Typical of left-wing demagogues, most of what Obama has been saying about the two libertarian leaning businessmen is simply untrue. But that doesn’t seem to stop him […]

 

Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson spoke to the Sauk County GOP today, and I just happened to be nearby…

Posted on by TrogloPundit

…with my little video camera. Tommy Thompson, perhaps better known as Tommy!, who served 14 years as Wisconsin’s governor before leaving to serve as Dubya’s HHS secretary. He’s 70 years old, if I’m doing my math right, but still has that old Tommy!-ness going for him. Here’s a few short clips from his speech today. […]

 

Shocker, Obama bundler and MF Global honcho Jon Corzine is unlikely to face criminal charges

Posted on by Chris Wysocki

Well the feds shuffled a few papers, peeked into a desk drawer or two at MF Global, and shockingly found nothing criminal with which to charge Jon Corzine, or anyone else. $1.2 billion dollars in customer money went poof! and federal investigators have been “unable to find a smoking gun.” As if Eric Holder’s Injustice […]

 

Quotes From The Right On The Miers Nomination

Posted on by John Hawkins

The reaction on the right to the Harriet Miers nomination has ranged from tepid support, to bitter disappointment, to outrage and calls for Miers to withdraw. Here’s a sample of just some of the negative commentary on Miers from the right. “Given her lack of experience, does anyone doubt that Ms. Miers’s only qualification to […]

Posted on by William Teach

Ah, how times change Anyhow What can U.S. do to halt rising gas prices?

Bummer: GM To Halt Production Of Chevy Firestarter “Temporarily”

Posted on by William Teach

Actually, it is kind of a bummer, because 1300 are being laid off, and I’d be surprised if they were all rehired once they restart the lines (The Hill) General Motors has temporarily suspended production of its Volt electric car, the company announced Friday. GM, which is based in Detroit, announced to employees at one […]

 

If The Bush Administration Lied About WMD, So Did These People — Version 3.0

Posted on by John Hawkins

Since we haven’t found WMD in Iraq, a lot of the anti-war/anti-Bush crowd is saying that the Bush administration lied about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction. Well, if they’re going to claim that the Bush administration lied, then there sure are a lot of other people, including quite a few prominent Democrats, who have told […]

 

A Year Of Coulter: Ann Coulter Quotes From Oct 2003 – 2004

Posted on by John Hawkins

“How about that for the next Kerry-Edwards bumper sticker? “Three-quarters of us don’t trust him on terror, but only 60 percent of us think he’d be incompetent in any international crisis.” “Interestingly, the elite (and increasingly unwatched) media always make “mistakes” in the same direction. They never move too quickly to report a story unfavorable […]

 

Don’t Let Obama Dictate Our Candidate

Posted on by Dick Morris

The best way to win in politics is to choose the right opponent. When your opponent is making a strong effort to get one particular candidate nominated to be his adversary in the general election, it’s worth paying attention. Clearly, in Michigan — where Democrats could and did vote in the Republican primary — there […]

 

Andrew Breitbart: A Whirlwind Dies

Posted on by Roger Simon

When a whirlwind dies, there is a sudden quiet. Los Angeles last Thursday was deathly silent. Andrew Breitbart — the conservative gadfly-blogger-entrepreneur — died at the age of 43. He just crumpled on a Westwood sidewalk, in full view of other pedestrians. Breitbart — besides being a unique media figure who in many ways changed […]

 

The Gettysburg Address Today

Posted on by Michael Fell

On June 1, 1865, Senator Charles Sumner commented on what is now considered the most famous speech by President Abraham Lincoln.
