Danny Glover’s Revisionist History: 2nd Amendment Was for Protecting Slavery

Actor and hardcore progressive Danny Glover should add revisionist historian to his growing resume of left-wing activism after a recent visit to Texas A&M University where he told students that the Second Amendment was mainly meant to keep African Americans in slavery and to kill Native American peoples. During his January 17 appearance at the […]

 


Bummer: Researchers Puzzled Why Globull Warming At A Standstill

Der Spiegel is breaking the silence about the reality of global warming. Perhaps they are confused about warming considering that 4 of the last 5 winters have been very harsh. The Global Warming Policy Foundation provides a translation Flowers are blooming earlier, sea level is rising — no doubt the climate is changing. The last […]

 

School Brands 5 Year Old Terrorist Over Bubble Gun

We’ve already witnessed two 6 year olds suspended for playing cops and robbers, making gun hands (fortunately they weren’t playing cowboys and Indians, they would have been branded raaaaacists, too). Now we have this hysteria (ABC) A 5-year-old girl was suspended from school earlier this week after she made what the school called a “terrorist […]

 

Interviewing Ben Shapiro About “Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences Americans”

I was pleased to have an opportunity to interview my friend Ben Shapiro about his new book Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences Americans. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our conversation. First question, of course liberals would deny that they bully anyone. So let’s name names; give two […]

 

Sorry, But You Can’t Have Guns Because They Frighten Josh Marshall

Over at TPM, Josh Marshall wrote a humiliating, unmanly screed about how guns frighten him. It’s actually kind of pathetic. I’ve been thinking of writing some version of this post since the days immediately after the Newtown shootings. It overlaps with but is distinct from the division between people who are pro-gun or anti-gun or […]

 


When I Want a Progressive’s Opinion on What Guns I Should Have/Hunt with, I’ll Give it to Them

My buddy, Green Beret badass Bryan Sikes, shot a massive whitetail buck last week during our South Texas Purple Heart Adventure. He whacked said muy grande with a LaRue Tactical OBR chambered for the glorious .308 Win. round. Oh and BTW, Sikes used a high capacity magazine during this hunt. For those of you who […]

 

GOP Puts Spotlight on Feckless Senate Democrats

Have the House Republicans come up with a winning strategy on the debt ceiling and spending cuts? Or just a viable one? Maybe so. They certainly need one that is at least the latter, if not the former. Barack Obama is up in the polls since the election, as most re-elected presidents have been. The […]

 

Kars 4 Kids, American Cancer Society: Who is Most Generous To Various Charities?

Tzedekah is a very important pillar of Judaism — people are encouraged and required under the tenets of Judaism to give charity.: : So whether its donating a car to: Kars 4 Kids: or the American Red Cross who gives the most donations: Generally, Republicans give more than twice what Democrats give in charitable contributions of all sorts.: : In 2008 […]

 



Left Says Gov’t Won’t Abuse Powers? What of Civil Rights Movement, 60s Riots?

The left is scoffing at the belief held by Second Amendment supporters that their right to bear arms is in part meant to act as a check on tyrannical government. Government turning tyrannical is ridiculous, many leftists say. But isn’t this the most absurd hypocrisy because didn’t they build their entire lefty edifice on the […]

 

NY Times Writer Demonizes People With Depression, Wants Their Right To A Gun Taken Away

This is what I was writing about when I mentioned that dealing with gun restrictions on people with mental health issues is a slippery slope. Here comes Wendy Burton, form far left political speech writer, who starts off with a long missive about how some drunk was looking to break into her home, so she […]

 

Obama Ignores the Rational Answer

What do Al Hunt of Bloomberg News, David Gregory of “Meet the Press” and President Obama have in common — besides their liberal politics? They all send their kids to Sidwell Friends School. With campuses in Washington, D.C. and Bethesda, Md., the highly selective private school is where the Clintons and the Gores sent their […]

 

One Third of a Generation Gone in 40 Years

A little more than a month ago, 20 innocent children were savagely and senselessly slaughtered in their classroom at the Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, a fact now being used by an opportunistic president to further his agenda. That same day, 150 times that many innocent children were savagely and senselessly slaughtered in […]

 

Exclusive Excerpt from: “Misadventures of a 1970s Childhood”

It sat in my parents’ dining room for 30 years or more: an old oak stereo console with large speakers concealed by green fabric. It filled my childhood with a harmony and clarity we could use lots more of about now. Sundays after supper, the sweet smell of coffee and pot roast and pineapple upside-down […]

 

Democrats See Political Opportunity in Newtown Deaths

Ed Rendell, former Pennsylvania Governor and influential Democrat, drew no gasps of surprise or shocked response from his fellow liberal travelers when he recently articulated the left’s position that “the good thing about Newtown is, it was so horrific that I think it galvanized Americans to a point where the intensity on our side is […]

 

Progressives’ Ridiculous Gun Control Argument

Once again, Conservatives have latched onto the bait tossed out by Progressives in their never-ending campaign to grab guns from the hands of law-abiding citizens. Gun control is just one aspect of the Progressive agenda; in essence, they want control of everyone and everything any way they can. Toward this end, they will tell you […]

 

No Budget, No Debt Ceiling Hike

In 2006, then-Senator Barack Obama inserted a speech into the Congressional Record decrying the increase in the debt ceiling that President Bush was asking for. It’s unfortunate that he didn’t actually deliver the speech, because it would have been a real stem-winder. “Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck […]

 

Obama’s Promise Could Send You to Prison

Like a lot of Californians, Stockton businessman Matt Davies, 34, expected that when Barack Obama was elected in 2008, the new administration would not prosecute medical marijuana dispensaries operating under a law passed by California voters in 1996. After all, as a candidate, Obama contended that he saw federal enforcement against medical marijuana as a […]

 


New York Fires Auditor Who Found Abuse of Federal Hurricane Sandy Funds

No good deed goes unpunished in New York as the state has abruptly cut off a contract with the independent auditor who found that the city and state had been wasting federal money meant to be spent on Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts. Thomas Sadowski, the fired consultant, told the Times Union that he was escorted […]

 

Emperor Barry’s Special License

This past week, I wrote loquaciously about a mindset I’ve seen and heard, either with greater frequency in recent years, or with a constant frequency that I notice more acutely during that time. It is difficult to tell which, and this is often the confusion to be tolerated when one’s awareness increases. The mindset could […]

 





Liberals Pay an Extra Dollar

ThinkProgress is highly indignant over it, and you’ll see so are some of the comment-writer-complainers over at the YouTube channel. “Highly offensive and inappropriate.” You’ve heard that if a conservative doesn’t like what’s on the radio, he turns the dial, whereas when a liberal doesn’t like it he wants the FCC to revoke the station’s […]
