When Losing 120,000 Jobs Is a Good Thing

Posted on by John Hawkins

Normally, hearing that 120,000 American jobs might be about to disappear would be a terrible thing. However, when we’re talking about government jobs that are no longer needed at the post office, it’s cause for celebration because it means billions of taxpayer dollars aren’t going to be thrown down a rathole. The financially strapped U.S. […]

Cold Blooded Kindness is an excellent book with some real insights to human behavior. Here are the best quotations from the book. Enjoy! Codependent behaviors or habits are self-destructive.

This Week In Quotes: Aug 5 – Aug 11

Posted on by John Hawkins

But like Louis XVI, British authorities are paralyzed by their indifference to their own civilization. A half-century of berating themselves for the crime of being British has left them morally defenseless. They see nothing about England worth saving, certainly not worth fighting for — which is fortunate since most of their cops don’t have guns. […]

 

Early Iowa Debate Analysis: Winners And Losers

Posted on by John Hawkins

Summary: Fox fired off a lot of “gotcha” questions and quite frankly, if any other network had done this debate, conservatives would be up in arms about all of the “media bias.” Going on to the candidates, there was no stand-out performance. Nobody really covered themselves in glory and you might be able to fairly […]

 

Good News: Another Potential Disaster We’re Undoubtedly Completely Unprepared To Handle

Posted on by John Hawkins

Despite the fact that the government is slow, stupid, and incompetent, if there’s a terrorist attack, natural disaster, plague or other mini-apocalypse, we just expect it to be ready to handle it. Of course, as we found out during 9/11, the California blackouts, Hurricane Katrina, and the Gulf spill, our government gets caught with its […]

 

The 2011 Version Of Harrison Bergeron Mental Handicaps: Social Networking

Posted on by John Hawkins

If you’ve never read Kurt Vonnegut’s extraordinary short story Harrison Bergeron, then you should. It’s short, extremely well written, and it’s a poignant commentary on the Left’s never-ending efforts to pull down society’s most successful people instead of helping to build up everyone else. In the story, everyone is given handicaps to make them “equal.” […]

 

A Brilliant Take On The British Riots

Posted on by John Hawkins

“They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.” — Hosea 8:7 Brendan O’Neill, who’s a lefty, has an absolutely fascinating take on the British Riots. That’s not just because there’s a lot of merit to it, but because as a left-winger, he’s speaking out against his own side’s policies by pointing out the truth. What […]

 

The Left Comes Up Short In Wisconsin

Posted on by John Hawkins

Last night was the culmination of months of gnashing teeth, incendiary rhetoric, court battles, petitions, hundreds of thousands of man hours, and tens of millions of dollars in union money, all put towards a single goal: Beating 3 Republicans last night so that Wisconsin could rollback Governor Scott Walker’s union reforms, that will save the […]

 

The Best Email Headline I’ve Gotten This Month: Story Tip, Cindy Sheehan Open To White House Run, Dancing With The Stars

Posted on by John Hawkins

Cindy Sheehan has always been a tragic and somewhat pathetic figure. After her son Casey died in Iraq, the Left latched onto her as an anti-war spokesperson. This was not because of charisma since she’s a plodding speaker. It’s also not because of genius — because she’s never come across as a particularly bright woman. […]

 

Is This Soon To Be The World’s Most Controversial Garden Gnome? The Obama Garden Gnome

Posted on by John Hawkins

Garden Gnome World seems to be exactly what it sounds like: A place to buy Garden Gnomes for people who are into that sort of thing. But, they may have accidentally stepped in it by trying to create a cutesy President Obama Garden Gnome. I’m sure it’s a perfectly innocent attempt to create a kitschy […]

 

Excerpt Of The Day: Philly’s Mayor: Take The Hoodies Down And Pull Your Pants Up

Posted on by John Hawkins

Take those God-darn hoodies down, especially in the summer. Pull your pants up and buy a belt ‘cause no one wants to see your underwear or the crack of your butt. If you walk into somebody’s office with your hair uncombed and a pick in the back, and your shoes untied, and your pants half […]

 

The Top 5 Ways The Tea Partiers Are Ruining America

Posted on by John Hawkins

If it wasn’t for those darn Tea Partiers, we’d already be in Obamatopia with unicorn-powered cars and an economy driven to new heights by unity, hope, and most importantly, THE POWER OF LOVE. Why, oh why, do those Tea Partiers want to ruin all that? Why can’t they be more agreeable and civilized — like […]

 

Michael Moore Goes Full Totalitarian: Arrest The Head Of S&P

Posted on by John Hawkins

Scratch a liberal and you’ll often find a Commie dying to get out. In Moore’s case, he actually wants to see the head of S&P arrested for breaking the unpleasant news to liberals that they can’t spend trillions we don’t have forevermore without any consequences. Liberal firebrand Michael Moore called on President Obama to respond […]

 

There’s Nothing Wrong With The Government Shooting Looters & Rioters Down Like Dogs In The Street

Posted on by John Hawkins

Many people think of defense of a nation as the very first job of government, but there’s actually an even more basic task that the government has to fulfill: Maintaining order. In extraordinary situations, when you have widespread breakdowns of public order and shops are being looted, cars are being burned, rocks and bottles are […]

 

Thought Of The Day: Would We Still Have Our AAA Credit Rating Without The Stimulus & Obamacare?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Blame the Tea Party? Geez, no wonder Kerry did so well in an election. If it wasn’t for the Tea Party, they would have passed the debt ceiling thumbs up, we would have been rated BBB. — Rick Santelli Certainly, if Democrats, who originally wanted no cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling, had […]

 

The Best Quotes From Ann Coulter’s “Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America”

Posted on by John Hawkins

Ann Coulter’s Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America is an outstanding book that I’d highly recommend and today, it just occurred to me, that I still hadn’t put together a list of the best quotations from the book. That is being remedied with this post. Read and enjoy! The Left’s robotic speaking style […]

 

The Silver Lining To America’s AAA Credit Loss Disaster

Posted on by John Hawkins

Losing our AAA credit rating is a historic disaster for America. It will cost us investment dollars, weaken our already anemic economic growth, and it’ll mean billions in higher interest rates — and it’s entirely possible that it will be a historic negative turning point for the country. In other words, the country may be […]

 

Another Great Obamachievement: America Loses Its AAA Rating

Posted on by John Hawkins

Over the last couple of years, Treasury Secretary Tim Geither has been reassuring Americans who are worried about the Obama Administration’s out-of-control spending that there’s no danger that we’ll EVER lose our AAA rating. Peter Barnes “Is there a risk that the United States could lose its AAA credit rating? Yes or no?” Geithner’s response: […]

 

Are Liberals Evil Or Stupid?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Forgive them for they know not what they do. — Luke 23:34 Over at The Telegraph, James Dellinpole asks, “Are lefties incredibly stupid or just plain evil?” The column was spurred by comments made by Charles Krauthammer who once famously intoned, To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: […]

 

Yet More Proof Manmade Global Warming Is Nothing To Worry About: Arctic Ice

Posted on by John Hawkins

Global warming propagandists are probably sorry they ever started talking about arctic ice because the deeper you look into it, the more it cuts against the idea of manmade global warming. Danish researchers analysed ancient pieces of driftwood in north Greenland which they say is an accurate way to measure the extent of ancient ice […]

 

Obama Should Make Black Americans Wonder If They’re Supporting The Right Party

Posted on by John Hawkins

Black Americans have been voting monolithically for the Democratic Party since the Nixon era. In other words, for 40 years now, anywhere the black vote is decisive, there have been Democrats in charge. The fascinating thing about that is the Democratic Party has delivered almost nothing other than poverty, misery, and victimhood for black Americans […]
