It’s nice to see the good in people. It’s nicer for you if the good you see is actually there. — Amy Alkon Part of the problem is today, only 53% pay any federal income tax at all; 47% pay nothing. We need to broaden the base so that everybody pays something, even if it’s […]

If Paul Krugman Really Believed That…

Posted on July 28, 2011July 28, 2011 by John Hawkins

….“The reality, of course, is that we already have a centrist president – actually a moderate conservative president,” (And yes, he really wrote that), is there anybody and I mean anybody, who believes that Paul Krugman would be supporting him?

“We Don’t Have A Deficit Problem Right Now.”

Posted on July 28, 2011July 31, 2011 by John Hawkins

“That’s the real crisis — the unemployment, not the deficit. We don’t have a deficit problem right now. In the long term, we have a deficit problem — we’ve got to get it under control but not right now. — Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) Here’s a newspaper headline from a yellowing cutting I found up in […]

Today In Britain: Your Future Under Obamacare Tomorrow!

Posted on July 28, 2011July 28, 2011 by John Hawkins

The government rationing medical services to save money? If you listen to liberals, it’ll NEVER happen. Yet in Britain, where the government runs health care, you can see what our future looks like if Obamacare isn’t repealed. Two-thirds of health trusts in England are rationing treatments for “non-urgent” conditions as part of the drive to […]

“Scientists Warn Of ‘Planet Of The Apes’ Scenario”

Posted on July 27, 2011July 27, 2011 by John Hawkins

You WANT to laugh at this, but…. Their report calls for a new rules to supervise sensitive research that involves humanising animals. One area of concern is “Category Three” experiments which may raise “very strong ethical concerns” and should be banned. An example given is the creation of primates with distinctly human characteristics, such as […]

Interviewing Barbara Oakley About Her Book “Cold-Blooded Kindness: Neuroquirks of a Codependent Killer” And The Concept Of Pathological Altruism

Posted on July 27, 2011July 29, 2011 by John Hawkins

Barbara Oakley’s latest book is called, Cold-Blooded Kindness: Neuroquirks of a Codependent Killer, or Just Give Me a Shot at Loving You, Dear, and Other Reflections on Helping That Hurt. I’ve almost finished reading the book, think it’s outstanding, and would recommend it. It’s one part “True Crime” and one part cutting edge psychology and […]

If I Could Have A 5 Minute Conversation With John Boehner About The Debt Ceiling…

Posted on July 27, 2011July 29, 2011 by John Hawkins

I’d start by congratulating him for passing one of the most responsible pieces of legislation to come out of Washington in the last decade: Cut, Cap, and Balance. Then I’d note what we both already know: The chances of it becoming law, even if the GOP held out for months, would be zero because Democrats […]

Exposing Small Children To A Group Called “Gender Spectrum” Should Be Considered Child Abuse

Posted on July 27, 2011July 29, 2011 by John Hawkins

No adult involved in trying to foist this propaganda on school children should be allowed anywhere near a child. A one-hour elementary school lesson on gender diversity featuring all-girl geckos and transgender clownfish caused a stir in Oakland on Monday, with conservative legal defense organizations questioning the legitimacy of the topic and providing legal counsel […]

7 Promises I Make To Liberals

Posted on July 26, 2011August 27, 2011 by John Hawkins

It’s no secret that liberals and conservatives don’t get along. But, if there’s any one thing that we’ve learned from the liberal love of sensitivity classes and situation comedies, it’s that once people get to know each other and learn about each other’s beliefs and concerns, all legitimate differences melt away. So, with that in […]

Why Barack Obama Reminds Me Of Fabio

Posted on July 26, 2011December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

Like him or hate him, Barack Obama has been extraordinarily successful. How has he done it? He used the same strategy at every level. He gives speeches, people are impressed by the fact that he has some charisma, and they elect him to office. Then, he gives more speeches, people talk about how great he […]

So If Pamela Geller Is Responsible For The Oslo Nutjob…

Posted on July 26, 2011December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

If a Jihadi explicitly kills people in the name of Islam, after being urged to do so by other radical Islamists, who believe that it’s a religious duty to kill people in the name of Islam, liberals still insist that this has nothing whatsoever to do with the Muslim religion. Ok. But if someone, like […]

If You Support Gay Marriage, You Support Polygamy

Posted on July 25, 2011July 27, 2011 by John Hawkins

If we warp the definition of marriage to allow gay marriage, then there is no logical, rational argument against polygamy. In fact, given that polygamous relationships produce children and have a much hardier historical pedigree than gay marriage, it’s a given that if gay marriage is legal, polygamy will be the next step down the […]

The Argument’s Backwards: Sex Vs. Violence In Video Games. Alcohol & Cigarettes vs. Drugs.

Posted on July 25, 2011December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

Tom the Dancing Bug is a liberal comic strip — and in all fairness, it’s pretty good for what it is. Of course, I’m comparing it to most left-wing comedians, whose idea of humor is, “Bush sucks” or “Sarah Palin? Wow, is she dumb or what?” Anywho, here’s a panel from a Tom the Dancing […]

Amy Winehouse: Another Tragic Waste Of Human Potential

Posted on July 25, 2011July 26, 2011 by John Hawkins

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, “No, no, no” Yes, I’ve been black but when I come back you’ll know, know, know I ain’t got the time and if my daddy thinks I’m fine He’s tried to make me go to rehab, I won’t go, go, go. — Amy Winehouse, “Rehab” […]

It’s Another Great Moment From The Obama Era!

Posted on July 25, 2011December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

America’s deficits have finally spiraled completely out of control, losing our AAA rating, the destruction of America’s health care system, and the end of the Space Shuttle. Worst. President. In. American. History.

If Boehner Hasn’t Passed A Short Term Debt Ceiling Deal Yet….

Posted on July 23, 2011July 25, 2011 by John Hawkins

…that would kick the can down the road a few months, it makes me think he anticipates reaching a deal. After all, the Obama line is basically, “Those Republicans won’t agree to anything and they’re going to cause a default that will cost us our AAA rating and make me cut off Social Security.” Well, […]

Raise Taxes Or The President Will Put A Bullet Into Uncle Sam’s Head!

Posted on July 22, 2011July 25, 2011 by John Hawkins

What Barack Obama is essentially doing with the debt ceiling crisis is putting a gun up to America’s head and threatening to pull the trigger unless somebody else acts responsibly. That’s bad enough, but then he turns around and acts as if he’s the only adult in the room, when he’s engineering the entire crisis […]

I Think The Key Question To Ask About The Allen West Vs. Debbie Wasserman Schultz Fight Is….

Posted on July 22, 2011 by John Hawkins

….why does she hate black people? After all, as we’ve learned from the Left, white people who disagree with black people are doing so because of race. So, according to liberal logic, Debbie Wasserman Schultz is obviously A RACIST! Stop the hate, Debbie, stop the hate!

Flowchart: The Obama Crisis Management System

The Slow, Painful Coming Death Of The Independent, Conservative Blogosphere Part 2

Posted on July 22, 2011March 17, 2020 by John Hawkins

The post got a lot of traction, a lot of nodding heads, and bloggers are still writing about it. That’s good. But, there were also some weird interpretations and outright missed points. That’s bad and it’s why I decided to do one last post on the topic. First of all, let me just reiterate, in […]

This Week In Quotes: July 15 – July 21

Posted on July 22, 2011July 22, 2011 by John Hawkins

Please use the comments to demonstrate your own ignorance, unfamiliarity with empirical data, ability to repeat discredited memes, and lack of respect for scientific knowledge. Also, be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor even implied. Any irrelevancies you can mention will also be appreciated. Lastly, kindly forgo […]

The First Step Towards National Suicide: America Loses Its AAA Rating

Posted on July 21, 2011July 23, 2011 by John Hawkins

Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner said the U.S. is in no danger of losing its Aaa debt rating even though the Obama administration has predicted a $1.6 trillion budget deficit in 2010. “Absolutely not,” Geithner said, when asked in an ABC News interview broadcast yesterday whether a downgrade is a concern. “That will never happen […]

“Like It Or Not, Obama Is Not The New FDR, But The New Gorbachev”

Posted on July 21, 2011July 21, 2011 by John Hawkins

The biggest reason the Democratic Party seems so hellbent on spending America into oblivion is that it’s largely a coalition of interest groups that are held together by government largesse. Vote the Democrats in and they’ll give you other people’s money. Cut off the flow of tax dollars and a significant portion of the Dem’s […]

The Epic David Frum Smackdown Of The Day

Posted on July 21, 2011December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

It’s hard to believe that even David Frum could write a post THIS petty, Really, I dont understand this: having agreed to spend $8 billion to dig a subway all the way out to Dulles Airport, Virginia authorities won’t spend the final $300 million necessary to make the subway usable. Instead of emerging inside the […]
