Because there were so many tea parties and so many bloggers covering them, it really isn’t possible for me give them all the attention they deserve. So, what I decided to do instead is post some of the best pics I found from around the blogosphere, From Urban Infidel at the New York Tea Party. […]

Yesterday, I went to the Myrtle Beach Tea Party. It was a lunchtime Tea Party that ran from noon to 2 PM. Now, Myrtle Beach is not a particularly large area. The population is only roughly 30,000 people and so the Tea Party was a bit smaller than a lot of the ones in the […]

Liberalism has become increasingly indistinguishable from Mussolini style fascism since Obama got into office and the latest example of it was on display at UNC-Chapel Hill last night. UNC-CH police released pepper spray and threatened to use a Taser on student protesters Tuesday evening when a crowd disrupted a speech by former Colorado congressman Tom […]

It’s hard not to notice, although the mainstream media is certainly trying, that the Somali pirates never had the guts to take an American ship when George Bush was in office. So, after being emboldened by Obama’s weakness, the pirates took their first American vessel. It didn’t work out so well for them and I […]

1) One of the two things I heard over and over when people talked about the original list with older people was some variation of, “I wish I had spent a lot less money on frivolous things and saved a lot more money when I was a teenager.” 2) The other recurring theme from older […]

One of the much remarked upon annoying things that pompous *ss Jon Stewart does on a regular basis is his “clown nose on / clown nose off” routine. In between his jokes, he makes serious political points. However, if he gets called on it, it’s “Woah, woah, I’m just a comedian.” In other words, he […]

The troops are considerably more popular than the media, either political party, Congress, or our deified President with feet of clay who’s working tirelessly to ruin everything good about America. That’s why having the troops like you is quite a big deal for a politician. Unfortunately for Obama, the troops tend to lean to the […]

An email I received this morning read in part, “Since you are an established writer and a columnist for many websites, and I am new to this, do you have any suggestions as to how I can get published and/or more exposure on other websites? I’m also curious as to how conservative writers have been […]

When the average person thinks “evil,” he thinks of a cruelly-featured, sneering, bestial man wickedly twirling his mustache as he draws perverse delight from inflicting misery on his fellow human beings. People who fit the almost cartoonish definition we’ve grown accustomed to viewing as evil, certainly do exist — and we hear about those dictators, […]

Capitalism, conservatism, and Christianity are at the heart of America’s success and they’re always constantly under attack. On the political end, we’re fighting the good fight for conservatism and capitalism, but not enough people are digging in for Christianity. So, here are a few low key, low pressure ideas that anybody can do to help […]

I suspect that I will rarely have a chance to say this over the next four years, but I think Obama did a reasonably good job of handling the Somali pirate crisis. All the Americans are safe, three pirates are dead, and we have one captured pirate. Personally, I think we should hang the pirate […]

From the WAPO, In the good-news/bad-news spirit of Good Friday comes this report from the Blue Chip Economic Indicators survey of private economists out today: 86 percent of them think that the recession will end in the second half of this year. However, they said, unemployment — which stands at 8.5 percent — will keep […]

Right off the bat, let’s just get a little housekeeping stuff out of the way. How many members does NumbersUSA have and can you tell us a little bit about how fast you’ve grown? We established NumbersUSA in 1996. That’s when we put up our website. …When 9/11 happened in 2001, even at that point, […]

This headline caught my eye for obvious reasons, Breeder regrets dog sale to Biden My first thought was something like, “Wow, does she think Biden is so much of an idiot that she doesn’t think he can even take care of a dog? Maybe she was offended by something he said. Ooooh, can’t wait to […]

Yesterday, while breaking a little news in my Roy Beck From NumbersUSA — Amnesty Won’t Pass House Or Senate post, I made a prediction as well, “I have absolutely no doubt that Barack Obama would love to push amnesty through; however, my gut instinct is that he’s going to turn out to be all talk […]

There was a bit of a stink raised when Walgreens decided to no longer sell the Chia Obamas. The impression people were given — which could conceivably be true — is that the product was selling really well but incredibly oversensitive morons got the product pulled because they thought it was racist, Walgreens has announced […]

Here are the quotes that caught my eye over the last week: “If Obama loves Europe and dislikes the U.S. so much he should just stay there.” — Ace “I just don’t get it. Apparently (Levi Johnson’s) thinking that he just impregnated and abandoned a 17 year old girl, so it must be his time […]

When it comes to the economy, our government is a like a clumsy oaf blundering through a China shop, smashing things left and right, and then snidely complaining about all the glass underfoot. Every major economic crisis this country has had in the last hundred years, from the Depression, to the S&L crisis, to the […]

This sort of overt, unapologetic discrimination towards Christian conservatives on college campuses is infuriating, not only because it’s occurring, but because so many Christians and conservatives just shrug their shoulders and let is pass, Spokane Falls Community College Claims Pro-life Speech Against Washington Law Not to be believed, but yes, SFCC “threatened Beth Sheeran and […]

One of the almost meaningless terms that you hear tossed around a lot these days, as if it’s some damning indictment, is “echo chamber.” As in, that’s “Just what you’re hearing in the conservative echo chamber” or “You just think that because you’re hearing it in the liberal echo chamber.” Here’s the problem: theoretically, that […]

At the top of the Drudge Report today is an ominous warning for people who care about the future of this country: NYT: Obama to push Immigration bill, While acknowledging that the recession makes the political battle more difficult, President Barack Obama plans to begin addressing America’s immigration system this year, including looking for a […]

Over the last few days, there have been a couple of posts that, in my humble opinion, influential and deep pocketed conservatives/Republicans would be wise to heed. The first was written by Danny Glover over at Accuracy in Media and was, happily, partially inspired by something I said even though Danny didn’t totally agree with […]

One of the biggest problems the Republican Party has had over the last couple of cycles is that our “leaders” have failed to lead. They haven’t paid attention to what their supporters want, they haven’t reached out to the base, they haven’t enforced party discipline, and they haven’t had the cohones to take on problem […]

It’s generally considered over-the-top to compare modern liberals with communists, but that’s because it’s painful to accept such a harsh truth about fellow Americans, not because they aren’t nearly identical. Both Communists and liberals hate capitalism, the market, and successful people, they don’t have much respect for freedom, and they have a freakish level of […]

I just finished up Ann Coulter’s Guilty: Liberal “Victims” and Their Assault on America. The book was snappy, well researched, and fearless — in other words, typical Ann Coulter. Here are the quotes from the book that caught my eye, “Just as we’re always told that schoolyard bullies are actually deeply insecure, liberals rationalize their […]

Am I the only one who thinks that it’s wildly inappropriate for Barack Obama to be maneuvering his supporters into key positions at banks that are accepting federal bailout funds? Citigroup Inc. (C) (C)’s new board chairman, Richard Parsons, said financial institutions are being targeted for creating the nation’s financial crisis, but they aren’t the […]

During his overseas “Trash America” tour, the blame-America-first doofus we have in the White House had this to say in Turkey, “We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation, a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. uh uh We consider ourselves uh uh a nation of us citizens” What’s this “we” stuff, buddy? Maybe it’s […]

I ran across this photoshop yesterday over at Hoosierpundit and thought it was absolutely hilarious, For all of you Twitter fans out there who are sick and tired of seeing the Fail Whale every 10 minutes, may I suggest a replacement?

Although trying to play Nostradamus with U.S. politics is always a risky endeavor, particularly this early in a political cycle, the odds would seem to heavily favor a GOP comeback in 2010. Here’s why the smart money should be on Elephants instead of Donkeys: 1) History is on our side: Typically, the party in power […]

As you probably already know, some nutjob in Pittsburgh, after a night of drinking, got in an argument with his mother about a dog whizzing in the house and that tragically led to the murder of three policemen, An ambush that resulted in the shooting deaths of three Pittsburgh policemen was precipitated by an emergency […]
