It goes without saying that most of the world is backing Hamas/Fatah/and the terrorist loving Palestinians who put them in power against Israel. Setting aside the fact that Israel is a friend to the Western world while many Palestinians would prefer to see us dead, that Israel wants peace and the Palestinians want genocide, and […]

Robert Ringer has always been one of my favorite authors. In fact, his books Winning Through Intimidation and Looking Out for #1 were two of the most influential tomes I’ve ever read (PS: Be forewarned or heartened, take your pick, that neither book is nearly as utterly Randian as it sounds, however.) Ringer’s Action!: Nothing […]

A couple of weeks ago, I smacked around Mitch McConnell for the mediocrity of his YouTube Channel. One of the reasons I was told the channel is so awful is that they hadn’t had time to promote it. Well, they’ve had time now and aside from a tragically dull welcome video which has 1,233 views […]

“President Obama yesterday eliminated the most controversial tools employed by his predecessor against terrorism suspects. With the stroke of his pen, he effectively declared an end to the “war on terror,” as President George W. Bush had defined it, signaling to the world that the reach of the U.S. government in battling its enemies will […]

Obama once famously said that “abortion was above his pay grade,” but he’s already planning to try to ramp up the number of abortions, President Barack Obama will issue an order restoring U.S. funding for international family-planning groups involved with abortion. But he chose not to do so on Thursday, the anniversary of Roe v. […]

Obamacon Me is a nifty little website that lets you make your own Obama style propaganda posters. Here are three from the website that I liked,

“This week’s Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report is the latest addition to a voluminous body of evidence that government spending is a poor way to jump-start the economy. That’s bad news for the $825 billion economic stimulus package that President Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insists is desperately […]

If you’ve eaten breakfast already, you may want to hold off on watching this video for a while in order to prevent projectile vomiting. So, all these celebrities are going to cure Alzheimer’s, buy hybrids, end global slavery, and be a servant to our President and all mankind! That’s fantastic….but, is there a reason you […]

One thing conservatives have been telling people over and over again is that if you legalize gay marriage, you’re not just legalizing gay marriage; you’re legalizing a host of other weird marriage practices as well. Across the world, men marry multiple women and people marry their relatives, their pets, the dead, and even trees. If […]

It’s no surprise that a man who went to Jeremiah Wright’s church for 20 years has his advisers trying to figure out how to racially discriminate against white people with government largesse, but it is surprising that they’re this open about it. Courtesy of Michelle Malkin, here’s Robert Reich, The stimulus plan will create jobs […]

“There is simply no excuse for United States Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts bungling the presidential oath of office to such an extent that Barack Obama might need to do it again, at least in private, to ensure the legality of his inauguration. Roberts should be impeached and removed from office for this unforgivable […]

One of the reasons so many foreigners wanted Barack Obama to become President is that they think he’s a small, weak pansy who cares more about making bureaucrats in Europe like him than he does about looking out for his own country. Incidentally, they have Obama’s number. Joe Biden certainly understands that’s true. It’s why […]

It’s easy to deal with your political opponents when you agree with them. For example, if Barack Obama wants to win the war in Iraq, kill Al-Qaeda, cut the capital gains tax, make abortion more difficult to get, etc., etc., that’s an easy decision. You don’t vote down a policy that you support just because […]

Happily, I didn’t bother to watch the pomp and pageantry of Obama’s inauguration. However, I certainly did read up on it and as per usual since Obama has come on the scene — despite the fact that the press hailed it as the most wonderful event in human history, it was chock full of incompetence, […]

Somewhere, some talk radio host or blogger probably noted that America is a republic, not a democracy, and from there on out an annoying meme was created. Now, any time someone refers to America as a democracy, people come out of the rafters, bushes, and weeds to let you know that, “American is a republic, […]

Courtesy of the Wall Street Journal comes this chart of presidential popularity, Two things worth noting. #1) Only Nixon was less popular when he left office than W. — and not by much. Additionally, only Truman has fallen farther than George Bush. With that in mind, please don’t tell me how Republicans should adopt his […]

Yesterday, I was chatting with a friend of mine who was having a rough time and that person asked me why I am always so happy. It’s not the first time I’ve been asked that, but it was the first time I had ever given a coherent enough answer to use for a post. What […]

I always advise people not to put too much stock into stories based on anonymous Washington sources because as often as not, they’re either distortions of the facts or outright lies designed to move some bureaucrats agenda forward, but if this turns out to be true, it’s really scary, Pakistanis view damage of a blast […]

What better way could there be to mock Al Gore than to create an ice sculpture of him, shivering away the winter months as once again, for the 11th year in a row, global warming fails to materialize. Al Gore can thank the Nobel Committee for honoring him with last winter’s Nobel Peace Prize. He […]

Today is a great day…to be a liberal, to be a Democrat, and to be naive. Barack Obama is one of the least accomplished men, perhaps even the least accomplished man ever to become President of the United States. He did nothing of note as a community organizer, nothing of note in the Illinois State […]

Modern liberalism shows remarkably little concern for freedom, democracy, and the will of the people if it’s not politically expedient, but now some of the most influential members of the Democratic Party are starting to drift towards outright fascism with the suggestion that members of the Bush Administration should be jailed once they leave power. […]

To be honest, I didn’t think that George Bush was going to do the right thing and pardon Ramos and Compean. He didn’t do it when Republicans in Congress were raising hell about it, he didn’t do it when he could have benefitted politically from it, and he has never given the slightest inclination that […]

Is this really a huge shocker? Eric McFadden was the founder of Catholics for Kerry, a group which proudly proclaimed that Catholics should support John Kerry notwithstanding his support for abortion. After the election McFadden went on to bigger and better things when he was appointed by Ted Strickland, pro-abort Democrat governor of Ohio, in […]

Zimbabwe was once one of the rare success stories in Africa. How much of a success story? We’re talking about an African nation that was actually exporting food. Then Robert Mugabe came along and he did something extraordinarily foolish. Here’s a RWN post from Megan McArdle back in mid-2005 describing what happened, When Robert Mugabe […]

Speaking of politicians, in a letter to the editor, a reader of the New York Times grumbled: “It’s amazing that Andrew Cuomo, who owes his whole career to his dad, may not get the Senate seat of Hillary Rodham Clinton (who owes her whole career to her husband) because David Paterson (who owes his whole […]

From The Success Principles: How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be. “If you want to be really successful, and I know you do, then you will have to give up blaming and complaining and take total responsibility for your life — that means all your results, both your successes […]

People keep comparing Barack Obama to Abrahan Lincoln — which is an enormous insult to a great man like Lincoln. Lincoln is not famous for talking a good game about hope and change or for being from Illinois; he’s famous for what he accomplished. He freed the slaves, won the Civil War, and preserved the […]

Some of my favorite Twitter posts from the last few days… stephenkruiser “Yes we can!” Monday on CBS. WTF?WTF?WTF?WTF?!?!?!? terrimurphy Terri Murphy’s Wisdom: “Success does not necessarily come from doing things right, but from doing right things” www.WomensWisdomNetwork.com RightGirl RT @andhisband: When Barack Obama is president, every Starbucks will have a pink unicorn that farts […]

It is not an inauguration so much as it is an “inaugurasm”. Today I caught a quote from Putin about Obama: “The biggest disappointments arise out of big expectations”. Whatever you think about the Russian Prime Minister, he has got it right. — Sullihan, a commenter at Pajamas Media

Paul Krugman has conclusively proven that the mainstream and the fringe have become one in the same on the left by encouraging Obama to try to jail the Democrats’ political enemies in the Bush Administration, Last Sunday President-elect Barack Obama was asked whether he would seek an investigation of possible crimes by the Bush administration.
