If this story in the Wall Street Journal is true, then it’s an abuse of power that needs to be addressed at the highest levels of Congress, I must be naive. I really thought the administration would welcome the return of bank bailout money. Some $340 million in TARP cash flowed back this week from […]

Isn’t it ironic that our first black President is callously selling future generations of Americans into debt slavery for his own political gain? This cartoon sums it up extremely well, What Lincoln worked tirelessly to preserve, Barack Obama is working tirelessly to ruin. Hat tip to Gateway Pundit for the cartoon.

1) “If you are buying something that you will use often and for a long time, never go cheap. You’ll end up replacing it sooner or paying more in maintenance costs than if you had spent more on good quality in the beginning. Plus, you’ll enjoy the nicer product throughout its lifetime, rather than cringing […]

In my lifetime, I’ve read more than 1500 books and I’ve had a particular interest in psychology since I was a teenager. In fact, I liked Psychology enough to get a BA in it at college and I even toyed with the idea of getting a Ph.D and becoming a professional psychologist. So, I’ve read […]

When every last House member voted against the stimulus package, I wrote a post called, Rarely Do I Say This, But I Am Proud Of The Republican Party Today..” Well today, I’m even prouder, because every Republican in the House AND the Senate voted against Obama’s budget, which is the most grievous attack on America’s […]

There is a reason that the GOP is called the “stupid” party. It’s always one thing or another. If Republicans in DC aren’t dumping their principles to try to appeal to liberals who are always going to hate them, they’re running people out of the party for not being pure enough. Although the former problem […]

The mainstream media is running its own little campaign to try to get Norm Coleman to allow Al Franken to lawyer his way into a Senate seat that he lost at the ballot box. Here’s Chris Cilliza at Washington Post trying to do his part for liberalism by encouraging Coleman to concede, Should Norm Coleman […]

Did Bill Clinton have something to do with preparing this press release? Why? No particular reason, just a wild hunch… Journalists seeking to talk a little foreign policy with high-profile Obama administration officials live from the G20 meetings in London this week were solicited for phone sex instead after ringing up the toll-free number given […]

This study’s conclusions strike me as a bit dubious, The University of Melbourne study showed that people who use the Internet for personal reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive that those who do not. Study author Brent Coker, from the department of management and marketing, said “workplace Internet leisure browsing,” or WILB, […]

There’s a reason why conservatives want to shift health care tax breaks from companies to individuals, institute tort reform, and allow people to buy insurance from any state: it’s because it will cover many more Americans, drive costs down, and increase choice for consumers. On the other hand, Obama favors socialized medicine which will drive […]

Since Barack Obama has now established that the government can fire people in organizations that take federal funds, how about we fire the Deans at every public college that has officially screened porn for its students? Some of the most hoity-toity universities in the nation are offering students an unusual distraction from the stress of […]

“Obama tells us that we can spend our way out of debt. He tells us that even though the government had control over the banks and did nothing to stop the bad that’s going on, if we give them more control over more other bank-like things, then they can make sure bad stuff doesn’t happen […]

Last night, there was a special election to replace Kirsten Gillibrand (D) in New York’s Congressional 20th district. Both sides poured a lot of resources into the race and Barack Obama did everything short of showing up personally to help Murphy win. The result? Murphy was ahead at the end of the night by 69 […]

Barney Frank is certainly one of the most contemptible figures in Congress. He’s corrupt, hypocritical, sanctimonious, habitually dishonest, and is one of the people who is most personally responsible for the economic crisis we’re in today. Still, although Barney Frank is certainly one of the most loathsome figures in the history of American politics, ads […]

Nina Fedoroff, who was carried over from the Bush Administration to the Obama Administration in the State Department and is admittedly, a brilliant scientist, is telling the BBC we have too many people on the planet, Nina Fedoroff told the BBC One Planet programme that humans had exceeded the Earth’s “limits of sustainability”. Dr Fedoroff […]

At long last, I’ve finally gotten around to reading Ann Coulter’s latest tome, Guilty: Liberal “Victims” and Their Assault on America. So far, the book has been outstanding and I would highly recommend it. As fans of Ann Coulter’s books know, she has made a name for herself by throwing bombs, but she is also […]

The government is already deciding which companies survive and which ones fail. They’re choosing which resorts and planes companies can and cannot use. They’re picking CEOs for companies. They’re deciding who gets bonuses and who doesn’t. And now, they’re taking the next logical step — they’re attempting to take total control of salaries, But now, […]

Our Socialist-In-Chief has apparently decided that he has being President down so well that he can handle being the Super-CEO of General Motors at the same time. So, Obama has begun, Hugo Chavez style, to tinker with General Motors. The CEO and the Board? They’re out. The business plan? It has to be rewritten to […]

Yesterday, there were two different pieces on RWN that talked about how PETA kills 95% of the animals in its care (here & here). Here’s the money quote from Van Helsing’s post on this topic, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) killed 95 percent of the adoptable pets in its care during 2008. […]

Liberals spend much of their time trying to hide what they believe from the public while conservatives are perpetually frustrated by the fact that the American people don’t seem to understand what we really believe. Both problems spring from a single source: liberals lie incessantly. That’s not to say that there aren’t conservative liars or […]

You may not have been aware of this, but on Saturday you were supposed to sit around in the dark for sixty minutes, starting at 8:30 PM, in order to celebrate “Earth Hour.” Now, you may be wondering: what exactly would that accomplish? I’m not entirely sure what the answer to that question is supposed […]

Barack Obama’s economic policies are several orders of magnitude more dangerous to this country’s economy than the mortgage crisis that he’s trying to fix.

After applying the lessons of Katrina, there’s only one conclusion we can reach: Obama obviously doesn’t care about white people.

….Okay, not really. And to be perfectly honest, I don’t even care all that much that Biden’s daughter may be doing as much blow as our President, Changey McCokehead, did in his early years (Or may still be doing for all we know. It would explain a lot). However, if Sarah Palin’s family is fair […]

In my email this week-end, How can I help? John, Honestly, what can I do to be a better American and fight for what I believe is a culture coup by the Obama misfits. This so called stimulus package is a total cover up for what I believe is a move by the Democrats to […]

I’m glad to see Barack Obama ignoring, at least for the moment, the voices of those in his own party who want to cut and run in Afghanistan. During the campaign, he talked a lot about ramping up our efforts there and he does seem to be making some efforts on that front. That being […]

A while back, I was on a teleconference with T. Boone Pickens, who is always flogging his plan to build windmills all over the country. Here’s how a liberal blogger described the question I asked Pickens and his response, Another conservative blogger, John Hawkins, also sought to undercut renewables, this time with the shibbeleth that […]

The bonuses at AIG have been the hot button issue, but now we’re starting to get to the real meat of the problem, Members of Congress and the New York State attorney general demanded detailed information Thursday on how tens of billions of taxpayer dollars flowed through the American International Group during its crisis last […]

As part of a never-ending series, I like to do short reviews of the books I read. Here are the latest 10 with the previously reviewed 125 below the fold. PS: If you’re wondering why there are very few low rated books on this list, it’s because I have a low tolerance for boredom and […]
