Why Ron Paul Can Never Be President In 12 Quotes

Posted on December 20, 2011January 13, 2012 by John Hawkins

Ron Paul is doing surprisingly well this year in some of the early primary state polls. There’s a simple reason for that: Most people in the conservative media have concluded he can’t win the nomination, they don’t want to get yelled at by his supporters, and so they’ve laid off of him while most of […]

15 Things That Even Liberals Should Be Willing To Admit

Posted on December 16, 2011December 15, 2011 by John Hawkins

Sometimes you have to wonder whether conservatives and liberals are just talking past each other. Do we really agree on more issues than we think? I decided to find out by putting together 15 statements, all of which are really nothing more than utterly unremarkable notations of the obvious. I am curious to see whether […]

Another reason Gingrich isn’t fading is Mitt Romney. Let’s face it: Mitt Romney is the Republican version of Al Gore.

The Top Five Things You Can Learn From Wal-Mart

Posted on December 14, 2011December 31, 2011 by John Hawkins

Liberalism In 120 Seconds: People Who OPPOSE Voter ID Are The Real Racists

Posted on December 13, 2011 by John Hawkins

Isn’t it racist to argue that black Americans are too dumb and incompetent to handle getting ID like everyone else in America? Isn’t that the sort of argument that the KKK would make? That everybody in society is smart enough to handle getting photo ID EXCEPT black people?

Helping Obama Out: 7 Suggestions For His “Change Is” Campaign Slogan

Posted on December 13, 2011December 31, 2011 by John Hawkins

As we learned last week at The Huffington Post, Barack Obama has a new campaign slogan for 2012, “Change Is.” Since Obama is one of the worst Presidents in American history, if not the worst President in American history, that sounds more like a phrase his opponent would use. Given that Obama is completely and […]

It’s time for me to rank my favorite blogs for the 4th quarter of 2011. Do keep in mind that as the quarter has progressed, some blogs have, of course, moved up and others have dropped, based on how often I visit them, how much I like what I see when I get there, how […]

So, If Newt Gingrich Is So Erratic And Undisciplined…

Posted on December 12, 2011December 12, 2011 by John Hawkins

It’s fair to take what I say about Newt Gingrich with a grain of salt since I’ve endorsed him, but that being said, let me just note that I find the “Newt’s really erratic/undisciplined” attack coming from establishment Republicans/Mitt’s surrogates to be an extraordinarily unconvincing line-of-attack. First off, keep in mind that Newt created the […]

A You Suck List: 10 People, Places, And Things That Suck

Being positive, motivated, goal oriented, and focused is a lot of hard work. That’s why ever so often you have to stop, smell the roses, and kvetch about all the stupidity in the world like… 1) Avatar: It’s the highest grossing movie of all time and there’s absolutely nothing good to be said about it […]

Which Is More Suspicious?

Posted on December 9, 2011December 9, 2011 by John Hawkins

People who say they’re perfectly willing to secure the border, but only if we also agree to amnesty for the illegals who are here at the same time or people who say they’re perfectly willing to sign onto future spending cuts, but only if we agree to raise taxes at the same time?

Is Ron Paul Electable? Absolutely Not.

Posted on December 9, 2011December 9, 2011 by John Hawkins

I’m famously not a fan of Mitt Romney and I’ve endorsed Newt Gingrich; so it’s fair to take what I have to say about Ron Paul with a grain of salt. But, let’s set aside whether I’m a fan of Ron Paul or not (I’m not) and discuss how electable he may be. Over at […]

This Week In Quotes: Dec 2 – Dec 8

Posted on December 9, 2011December 9, 2011 by John Hawkins

And while I am disappointed, there are more than a few silver linings to doing this work outside the context of a presidential campaign. The process by which we choose our nation’s leader is ridiculous. There is little focus on policy substance and even less on candidates’ governing skills. If you’re not warding off some […]

Dumping The Ashes Of Soldiers Who Died In The Line Of Duty In A Landfill

Posted on December 8, 2011December 8, 2011 by John Hawkins

It’s genuinely hard to understand how anybody in our own military could be fine with the remains of their brothers-in-arms being dumped in a landfill like so much garbage. The Air Force dumped the incinerated partial remains of at least 274 American troops in a Virginia landfill, far more than the military had acknowledged, before […]

The Firefighters Were Right To Let That Home Burn To The Ground

Posted on December 7, 2011 by John Hawkins

Liberals believe in turning the American people into infants because small, helpless children need Big Daddy Government to take care of them. So, the poorer, weaker, and more dependent Americans become, the better liberals like it. This is why they love to see once proud and self-reliant people reduced to taking food stamps, welfare, and […]

Idiots At The Red Cross: Your Fatalities And Zerg Rushes May Be War Crimes

Posted on December 6, 2011December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

Groups like the Red Cross don’t deserve your respect, your support, or your donations because they’re run by fascistic, far left-wing ideologues who are so out of touch with other human beings that they might as well come from another planet. Just read this and you’ll see exactly what I mean… Violent war-themed video games […]

The Arab Spring: Lancing The Boil

Posted on December 6, 2011December 6, 2011 by John Hawkins

When you lance a boil, it’s a difficult, painful business and what comes out of it is really ugly. The same is true of Arab Spring which, in large part, began with what we did in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama has handled it extremely poorly and the results so far have been ugly, but to […]

The Problem With The Occupy Wall Street Generation

Playing baseball games without keeping score. Parents not allowed to cheer for one side or the other at basketball games. Refusing to use red ink to grade tests because it’s too jarring. No dodgeball. Participation trophies. Telling kids, “You’re special,” without their doing anything to show they’re special. Newsflash: You may be special to God, […]

Posted on December 5, 2011December 5, 2011 by John Hawkins

A few months ago, I got together with my friend Ali Akbar to hash out the idea of doing an anti-Mitt Romney website. A few weeks ago Ali and I, Yates Walker, Matt Mackowiak and others came out with Not Mitt Romney. At the time, I hadn’t settled on a favorite candidate and I was […]
