Obama Uses Weekly Address To Blame Self For Rising Gas Prices

Posted on by William Teach

Just kidding. He whines about Republicans and blames oil companies Hello, everybody. Is it just me, or does that address, which he uses every week, seem rather unpresidential? Then again, look who we’re talking about. These days, we’re getting another painful reminder why developing new energy is so important to our future. Just like they […]

Sacha Baron Cohen, The Oscars, And the Death of Propriety

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Outrage of the day: The Academy Awards folks banned shock comedian Sacha Baron Cohen from its ceremonies this week. Then did only with caveats. Then didn’t know what to do. It all shows a certain death of propriety, not just in Hollywood (where its been dead a long time in most cases), but in the […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Buzzfeed was the first to indulge it’s inner gossip — well, maybe its outer gossip since that is all that site is; gossip. Anyway, the stupid story of the day is based on the hearty handshake that Rick Santorum gave Ron Paul after Wednesday’s debates. Paul’s fans took offense at the handshake for some idiotic […]

 

Just Say No to Health Insurance

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Everyone talks about reforming health insurance while ignoring a better alternative: healthcare risk pools. Powerful lobbyists for the healthcare insurance industry have convinced politicians to perpetuate the current system of health insurance, hoping that minor tweaks will solve the escalating crisis. Conservative think tanks have even bought into the system due to heavy funding by […]

Remember The Meme About Santorum Being “Anti-Women”?

Posted on by William Teach

The Politico and the Democrats, but, I repeat myself, thought that the contraception mandate issue was the perfect issue for Democrats, as they could paint Republicans, and Santorum, as “anti-women” (despite marrying one and having three daughters). How’s that working out? (Washington Post) Over the past several weeks, Republicans have watched squeamishly as presidential contender […]

The $4 Billion Obamacare Slush Fund for Progressives

Posted on by Michelle Malkin

If you like how the Obama administration’s multibillion-dollar “investments” in bankrupt solar companies have turned out, you’ll love the latest federal loan program to nowhere. It’s the Obamacare loyalty rewards program for progressives. To appease liberal Democrats pushing for the so-called “public option” (the full frontal government takeover of our health care system), the White […]

 

Lack of enthusiasm isn’t just a GOP problem

Posted on by Jonah Goldberg

There’s no disputing that Republicans are surly these days. With the exception of South Carolina, turnout among GOP voters has been tepid. Hordes of commentators, me included, have argued at length that this apathetic grumpiness reflects a deep dissatisfaction with the Republican field. Worse, many Republicans recognize that their cantankerousness over their choices makes things […]

In Debate, Romney Was Presidential

Posted on by Dick Morris

In last night’s debate, Mitt Romney showed how he has grown through this contest and has developed into a presidential figure. By contrast, Rick Santorum’s performance was distinctly congressional. I found myself agreeing with Santorum but willing to follow Romney. In sync with Rick but trusting Mitt. Santorum’s replies were pedantic, tactical, and detailed. No […]

 

Giving With One Hand and Taking With the Other

Posted on by David Limbaugh

So we should all be grateful that President Obama is just now coming out for a corporate tax rate cut? But does anyone really believe he’s had a supply-side epiphany? That this is an election year surely wouldn’t have anything to do with his apparent change of heart, would it? He’s been president for more […]

 

HBO’s Palin Pollution

Posted on by Brent Bozell

Sarah Palin’s top aides held a conference call to denounce the forthcoming HBO movie “Game Change,” which like any ultraliberal media production, knocks Palin as a mentally imbalanced moron.

Ultrasound Cacophony: The Left’s Newest Pro-Abortion Lie

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In the Commonwealth of Virginia the left has a new attack against those that want to regulate abortions.

Megan MCardle has the perfect quote “When skeptics complain that global warming activists are apparently willing to go to any lengths–including lying–to advance their worldview, I’d say one of the movement’s top priorities should be not proving them right” And they will go to any lengths to protect their religion A line-by-line evaluation of the […]
