What Liberal Feminism Has Come To: Fighting Over Which Gender Has A Vagina

Posted on by John Hawkins

Prominent left-wing feminist, Jessica Valenti discusses vagina issues with one of her crackpot readers.

Remember Those Death Panels David Brooks Said Were “Crazy?” Well…

Posted on by John Hawkins

….this time, the New York Times “conservative” (ha, ha) dancing monkey, David Brooks is talking up saving health care money by cutting back on end-of-life care. This fiscal crisis is about many things, but one of them is our inability to face death – our willingness to spend our nation into bankruptcy to extend life […]

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

Posted on by John Hawkins

Way, way back in 2001, when I got started in the blogosphere, the Right side of the blogosphere was bigger and more influential than the Left. Why? Well, in American politics, the energy tends to be with the party that’s out of power. During the nineties, that was the Right and a lot of websites […]

 

Is Harry Reid Saving Mitch McConnell From Himself?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Rich Lowry at The Corner talks about the Democratic coupling of 1.5 trillion in cuts with Mitch McConnell’s surrender on the debt limit. Interestingly, the McConnell proposal seems to be getting better with Democratic input, although it’s all still very murky. I think this goes to show that Democrats want to be able to say […]

 

Building The Ultimate Shotgun For The Zombie Apocalypse

Posted on by John Hawkins

Let’s face it: We’ve all thought about surviving in a zombie Apocalypse. Would we go to the mall or a military base? Would they be slow zombies or fast zombies? What would we do with our pets? There are a lot of questions, but not many answers…except in one area. Thanks to the fine folks […]

Illegal immigration is terrible for the country and terrible for Hispanic Americans, but blood is thicker than water, my friend, blood is thicker than water.

Posted on by John Hawkins

What is cut, cap, and balance? 1. Cut – We must make discretionary and mandatory spending reductions that would cut the deficit in half next year. 2.

What “Our Side” Is Doing In Libya: 7 Year Old Libyan Rebels

Posted on by John Hawkins

Isn’t it great to be on the same side as Al-Qaeda in Libya, fighting for…something or another — it’s hard to say what exactly. The general excuse was supposed to be that we were helping to protect “civilians.” Course, if the “civilians” happen to be small children, our rebel allies are apparently conscripting them and […]

 

Republicans Should Call Obama’s Bluff On The Debt Ceiling

The American people are strongly opposed to raising the debt ceiling.

The People Of California Win Again With The Amazon Tax!

Posted on by John Hawkins

As we’ve learned from liberals, corporations are evil entities that must be punished relentlessly with high taxes which they will never, ever, ever react to by changing their behavior. Bizarre though it may seem to rational people, you can simply bludgeon corporations into the ground without any consequences whatsoever…or so liberals seem to believe. ……Which […]

 

The Conservative Blogger Reaction To Mitch McConnell’s Debt Limit Plan

Posted on by John Hawkins

Some of the establishment Republicans seem to be warm to Mitch McConnell’s utter capitulation on the debt limit, but the reaction from the right side of the blogosphere was predictably savage. The following comments give you a pretty good idea of the sort of comments McConnell’s “plan” was drawing from the Rightroots. I mentioned in […]
