GOP No Longer Feels Need To Hide Its Incivility

Last week, Sarah Palin stepped over the edge of civility. Fox Business host Eric Bolling played a clip of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on “Meet the Press” in which Christie said Newt Gingrich “has been an embarrassment” to the Republican Party. “Poor Chris,” Palin responded. “This was a rookie mistake. He played right into […]

 

PG&E Wants Higher Rates Even While Collecting Millions for Improvements Never Made?

Since the several disastrous accidents that claimed the lives of too many Californians, Pacific Gas & Electric has been fighting criticism over its dismal safety record.

Our Congress Wobbles And It May Fall Down

Yesterday, I ran across an article in: USA Today: that should have created a firestorm of controversy. Apparently Congress has gone as weak in the knees over invading Iraq as a 14 year old school girl at an NSYNC concert’ ‘Republican and Democratic leaders in Congress are skeptical about the need for quick military action against Iraq […]

 

No Need to Panic About Global Warming?

You may have seen the letter in the Wall Street Journal yesterday, written (purportedly) by sixteen “scientists” who somehow think the Global Warming consensus is something they can dispute. Which, of course, they can. In response, I’m forced to wonder: has anybody ever written an anti-fisking? If not, then witness this TrogloPundit first. The letter […]

Surprise! Democrats Take Secret Cash After Bashing GOP For Same

The Politico’s Kenneth P. Vogel and Alexander Burns are surely going to earn an expletive laden call from the White House for publishing this story (Politico) Democrats have seized on Republicans as the party of unlimited secret money. The only problem: so are Democrats. In recent days, Obama released an ad blasting “secretive oil billionaires” […]

 




On The Economy, Obama Doesn’t Know His “Stuff”

Cross-posted from AlexaShrugged.com: The man with the plan!:  Real Clear Politics has this clip of Obama demonstrating his economic genius: Obama: I Want An Economy “Where We’re Making Stuff And Selling Stuff And Moving It Around” “On Tuesday at the State of the Union, I laid out my vision for how we move forward,” President […]

 


Wisconsin School Punishes Christian Kid for Being a… Christian Kid

Superintendent Todd Carlson of Shawano High School in Shawano, Wisconsin is sorry a student observed his First Amendment rights and had his article published in the school newspaper that denounces homosexuals adopting children.

The Dark And Cynical Truth About The Mideast ‘Peace Process’

The most frustrating thing about the conflict in the Middle East to many people is that if you look at it unemotionally, it seems relatively easy to solve. Israel goes back to the 67 borders, the Palestinians drop the right of return, they split Jerusalem in ‘, Israel pulls the settlements back or trades the […]

 



16 Concerned Scientists: Chill Out, No Need To Freak Over Anthropogenic Global Warming

Why? Because “There’s no compelling scientific argument for drastic action to ‘decarbonize’ the world’s economy.” After a few paragraphs describing how not every scientist is a Warmist, and the numbers who are opting out of previous held beliefs that Mankind is mostly or solely at fault, we get to (h/t Climate Depot) (Wall Street Journal) […]

 

Narcissistic (And Incompetent) President Wants Second Term “Badly”

Quite obviously, there has to be a bit of narcissism in any person who wants to run for the presidency. Yet, with Barack Obama, everything seems to be all about himself. Does anyone get the feeling that Obama wants to be president to help anyone, to be a good steward of the United States as […]

 

The Superhuman Density Of The Liberal Mind When It Sees Something It Doesn’t Want To See — Like Radical Islam.

There’s a famous Time cover from 1992 that hammers home the almost superhuman density of liberal minds when there’s incredibly obvious information present that runs counter to what they want to hear. Most people figured out that men and women were born different at about 4 years old. For the liberals at Time, however, this […]

Giving citizenship to illegal immigrants is the quickest way to ensure that conservatives never win another election.” — David Answer: If you’ve been reading Right Wing News for a few years, you know that my position is that I […]

 


Mr. and Mrs. Cranky Pants

So, it turns out that the cool cat billed as “No Drama Obama” by his sycophants is actually quite the drama queen. While the White House publicly pretends to ignore conservative detractors of his administration, Chief Touchy-Touchy seems to be personally consumed by our critiques. Yes, mine included. On Wednesday, the president had himself a […]

 

Obama’s vision for a Spartan America

President Obama’s State of the Union address was disgusting. The president began with a moving tribute to the armed forces and their accomplishments. But as he has done many times now, he celebrated martial virtues not to rally support for the military, but to cover himself in glory — he killed Osama bin Laden! — […]

 

Obama’s Misstatements on the Union

Only a president long shielded from criticism and accountability could make the kind of State of the Union speech President Obama did Tuesday night. It’s hard to know where to begin, given his repetition of tired ideas from his previous SOTUs, his taking credit for successful policies he resisted and omitting failed ones he promoted, […]

 


Analysis Of The Republican Jacksonville, Florida Debate

So, we have our last debate for awhile. This one was moderated by Wolf Blitzer and as per usual, the debate started out with lots of fighting and then moved on from there into a relatively mediocre group of questions. 3) Newt Gingrich: If I absolutely had to split Mitt and Newt apart here, I’d […]
