Three Reasons We Should Still Be Allied With Pakistan

Posted on by John Hawkins

Did the government of Pakistan know that Osama Bin Laden was holed up in Abbottabad? It seems highly likely that at least SOME government officials, ISI agents, or members of their armed forces knew where he was. How far up the chain of command did it go? We don’t know. It was already public knowledge […]

 

Obama’s Meager Post-Bin Laden Bounce Spells Political Trouble For Him

Posted on by John Hawkins

Bush 41 went all the way up to an 88% approval rating after the Gulf War. His son W. soared from 51% to 90% in the space of 10 days after 9/11. That brings us to the death of Osama Bin Laden. This was a HUGE event. There were spontaneous celebrations in New York and […]

 

Dear Deathers. This Is An Even Stupider Conspiracy Than Usual. Signed Everyone Else

Posted on by John Hawkins

Sleazy professional scam artist Alex Jones is getting out front of the crazy idea that Bin Laden’s death was faked. The con men over at WorldNetDaily aren’t far behind either. But, if you’re the engineer on the crazy train, you deserve to get your proper share of credit…and mockery. So, here’s what Jones’ crazy conspiracy […]

 

Liberal Hypocrisy Over The Death Of Bin Laden

Posted on by John Hawkins

Over at Redstate, Melissa Clouthier points out that the liberal reaction to the death of Bin Laden proves that liberals don’t believe their own war on terror rhetoric. When the rubber meets the road, liberals aren’t crying that: * Intelligence gathered, probably via “enhanced interrogation” in a secret prison (or if you’re a liberal, torture), […]

 

20 Notable Quotes By And About Osama Bin Laden

Posted on by John Hawkins

The biggest terrorist on Planet Earth has, at long last, been delivered to justice courtesy of a SEAL’s bullet. Some people may say we haven’t won anything because killing Bin Laden won’t end terrorism forever. I’d say that we have at least ended all terrorism committed by Bin Laden forever. In any case, by now […]

 

10 Thoughts About Osama Bin Laden’s Death

Posted on by John Hawkins

* I don’t celebrate the deaths of my political enemies, but you better believe that I’m celebrating the death of Osama Bin Laden. Bin Laden is an enemy of our country and of humanity, he deserved to die, and I don’t give two hoots in hell about pretending to be sorry for him or pretending […]

 

What Will The Muslim Reaction To Osama Bin Laden’s Death Be?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Last night on Fox, it was said over and over again, that the death of Osama Bin Laden was a great day for Muslims. After all, he doesn’t represent Islam and he’s responsible for the deaths of countless thousands of Muslims. So, what a wonderful, wonderful day this was for Islam. Well, I’m not going […]

Does Barack Obama Really Deserve Any Credit For Killing Bin Laden?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Short answer; Yes. Longer answer….George W. Bush deserves credit for starting our programs that targeted Bin Laden. All the programs we’re running now (at least the ones we know about) were either continued from the Bush administration or they were expanded from ongoing operations. Of course, our intelligence agencies deserve a lot of credit and […]

 

My Theory Of How The World Works: Blame It All On Women

Posted on by John Hawkins

As a conservative, I think you have to judge people as individuals. White, black, conservative, liberal, male, female — at the end of the day, each person deserves to be evaluated on his actions and his character. That being said, there are some people who look at the world a little differently. They may think […]

Liberals Explain Why Obama Took So Long To Release The Birth Certificate

Posted on by John Hawkins

Had Barack Obama actually wanted to nip birtherism in the bud, he could have released his long version birth certificate back in 2008. That would have certainly done it back then, when the conspiracy hadn’t really gained traction. What I’ve been saying is that Obama liked having Republicans talking about whether he was born in […]

 

Superman: Truth, Justice And The United Nations Way?

Posted on by John Hawkins

In what must be one of the most mediocre comic issues of all-time, the superhero whose slogan used to be “truth, justice, and the American way” has now renounced his American citizenship. Goyer’s installment, with tense art from Miguel Sepulveda, steals the spotlight in Action Comics No. 900. When Superman drops in on an Iranian […]

 

Barack Obama’s Long Form Birth Certificate Says He Was Born In Hawaii. Told You So!

Posted on by John Hawkins

During the campaign, when there were first claims that Barack Obama wasn’t born in the US of A, I treated the idea seriously. I even aimed a little criticism at the mainstream media for refusing to thoroughly investigate the story. However, I also took the time to look into it myself and found that the […]

 

Barack Obama The Liberal Won’t Win In 2012

Posted on by John Hawkins

Will Barack Obama be reelected in 2012? It’s impossible to say, and given the GOP’s trouble finding a worthy candidate and the difficulties inherent in knocking off a sitting President, it’s easy to be pessimistic despite Obama’s rather obvious incompetence and soft approval ratings. One thing is for sure, however; If Obama’s going to win, […]

 

The Status Quo In America Can’t Be Maintained

Posted on by John Hawkins

Just as a blind squirrel will find a nut now and again, David Brooks will occasionally, against all the odds, write a good column. His latest, The Big Disconnect, is such a column. Moreover, the two parties are about to run utterly familiar political campaigns. The Democrats are going to promise to raise taxes on […]

 

An Interview With Richard Lugar’s Primary Opponent, Dick Mourdock

Posted on by John Hawkins

There are few Republicans who deserve to be retired in a Primary more than Richard Lugar. Indiana’s state Treasurer Dick Mourdock has thrown his hat in the ring and will be challenging Lugar in 2012. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of my conversation with Richard Mourdock. You’re going to be running against Richard […]

 

The Mainstream Media Finally Investigates Birther Allegations

Posted on by John Hawkins

The mainstream media SHOULD have been doing thorough reports on Obama’s birth certificate when he was running for President. The question was already in the air at the time and there was a lot less known about the issue than there is today. Honestly, I think a lot of news services avoided the issue because […]

 

5 Common Political Beliefs That Simply Aren’t True

Posted on by John Hawkins

“No matter how big the lie; repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as the truth.” — John F. Kennedy The sad truth of the matter is that most Americans don’t pay much attention to politics and those that do often just parrot doctrine instead of investigating issues with an open mind. […]

 

Dear Women

Posted on by John Hawkins

Sometimes a video comes along that inspires you, that motivates you, and that helps you appreciate the things you have that other people don’t. Like testicles. That video, for me, was the instant Internet classic Dear Woman. Unlike the “men” in Dear Woman, I don’t apologize for my gender. Men don’t owe women an apology […]

 

What We Don’t Teach To The Next Generation Doesn’t Get Effectively Passed On

Posted on by John Hawkins

In her latest column, Peggy Noonan notes the cultural deterioration of our country. Imagine for a moment that you are a foreign visitor to America. You are a 40-year-old businessman from Afghanistan. You teach a class at Kabul University. You are relatively sophisticated. You’re in pursuit of a business deal. It’s your first time here. […]

 

The TSA: Putting Children And The Pedophiles Who Like To Touch Them Together At The Airport

Posted on by John Hawkins

Last week, I did a Liberalism in 120 Seconds video called, “The TSA Agent Who Molested Anna Drexel Should Do Jail Time.” Some people agreed that a TSA agent running his hands over the crotch and behind of a little girl was way over the line and others didn’t. Well, guess what? Now we’ve got […]
