Christine O’Donnell Wins And The GOP Rages Against The Machine People

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

When the GOP started attacking Christine O’Donnell fiercely a couple weeks back, I figured she must be up in the internal polling. In fact, I figured she’d win. And tonight, in a race that stunned nearly everyone but Christine O’Donnell and her very motivated followers, she did just that. What I wasn’t sure about, was […]

 

About That Rift

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Matt Lewis talks about the divide over the Delaware race: The 2010 Republican primary elections have pleasantly provided us with many examples of conservative insurgents ousting establishment insiders. But as I noted yesterday, Tuesday’s GOP primary in Delaware is different. It is the first time bona fide conservatives are sharply divided over whether to support […]

 

Sarah Palin Against Qu’ran Burning–Reflecting Conservative Distates With The Actions

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Sarah Palin says on her Facebook page: Book burning is antithetical to American ideals. People have a constitutional right to burn a Koran if they want to, but doing so is insensitive and an unnecessary provocation — much like building a mosque at Ground Zero. I would hope that Pastor Terry Jones and his supporters […]

 

Republicans: 2010 Was The Year To Fight, Not Flee

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

At the beginning of this primary season, way back a thousand years is what it feels like, I made a decision: Support every conservative in every race everywhere no matter what. Why? Because if there was ever a year where a conservative could get elected, it would be this year. Some races weren’t so obvious. […]

 

California Dreamin’: Chasing The Mythical Green Jobs Beast

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

California struggles these days. In some segments of their workforce, like agriculture, they’ve had nearly 40% unemployment. Part of the problem California faces is pie-in-the-sky environmental and tax burdens while simultaneously hoping businesses will stay in the hostile climate. Businesses are leaving. Why? Global Warming laws like AB 32 are making it hard to do […]

 

What Larry David Can Teach The Ground Zero Mosque Defenders: Many Things Are Legal, But Are They Right?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Mark Steyn is back from vacation, has subbed for Rush and was a guest on Hugh Hewitt’s show. On Hugh’s show Mark said this: I mean, the fact is yes, obviously, Constitutionally speaking, legally speaking, if a guy wants to buy a building and put a particular project in it, he’s entitled to do that.

Because I Can’t Resist: On McConnell’s Leadership Assurance

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Short answer: Whatever. Nothing is assured in this climate. Long answer: I’ll get to it in a minute. First, Ace says this: I’d bet on McConnell, but I wouldn’t bet much. FWIW, I think… I’m meh on him. I don’t dislike him, I don’t resent him, I understand the need for tactics and stuff, but […]

 

Gulf Rig Bombing: I Blame The Media And Environmental Wackos

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Darleen Glick over at one of my favorite websites Protein Wisdom writes this: Now, what won’t you see from the MSM about James Jay Lee? You won’t see Katie Couric worrying about Lee’s possible ties to Moveon or SEIU or ACORN. You won’t see Frank Rich writing about how MSNBC and Leftwing Radio have produced […]

 

Environmental Wack-o-Doodle James Lee Goes Gonzo In Maryland

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

But his gun wielding, hostage-taking crazy is most certainly NOT motivated by politics. He’s just, you know, crazy. Because crazy people do things when they’re on the left–they have good intentions, don’t you know, they just go a wee bit too far. James Lee’s MySpace Account is titled WorldGuardian: love the world, hate people. He […]

 

Terrorist Trial Run Intercepted: Arrests Made

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Good grief. Once again, allowed on the plane: Two men taken off a Chicago-to-Amsterdam United Airlines flight in the Netherlands have been charged by Dutch police with “preparation of a terrorist attack,” U.S. law enforcement officials tell ABC News. U.S. officials said the two appeared to be travelling with what were termed “mock bombs” in […]

 

Meanwhile, Back At The Newly Redesigned Oval Office, President Obama Acts Churlish

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Bleh. Andrew Malcolm has the text of the speech along with some interestingly placed photos–I do believe he’s learned picture placement art from Drudge. My thoughts on the speech? Petty, small, graceless, and ultimately irrelevant. The American people know what’s up in Iraq. This speech wasn’t for them. It was for the Democrat base that […]

 

Why True Conservatism And Libertarianism Are Natural Allies: Restoring Honor And Shrinking Government

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Some libertarians watched the Beck rally with skepticism and more than a little loathing. The God thing is just too much. Reason’s Nick Gillespies’ bemused reporting from the Mall made me smile. Libertarians have looked for small government and fiscally responsible candidates, and they seem alarmed that many of the folks who preach this religion […]

 

When The Left Is Watched: Racism!

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Organizing for America, ACORN and whatever new name and incarnation of these Democrat groups may be blame Republicans for the recent fire burning down the building with voting machines in Houston, Texas. Of course, the accusation is patently false. What is more interesting to me is this reported by Brad Jackson: Smith didn’t stop with […]

 

Sarah Palin’s Alaska: Pay Attention Grassroots, The Establishment Sure Is

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Alaska may well be another field of shattered, and at least shocked, establishment dreams. Or not. A poorly run Murkowski campaign headed by a dude Sarah Palin fired (he must be awesome, because she’s so stupid, we had to hire him!) because of his incompetence, now stares into the grass-roots abyss. I expect them to […]

 

More Leftist Hate: Misogynist Edition

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Yawn. Liberal men hate women. Yawn again. One thing I realized early on in this business is that the supposed haters were not the conservative, white, middle-aged males. Those were my readers. Nope. The haters were hipster leftist men, and more shockingly, women, who had unresolved issues with their mommies. Whatever, they do not like […]

A Round-Up Of News To Make Your Blood Boil

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Do you find it galling that after all this time being called “radical, violent, right-wing extremists”, we now have multiple examples in one day of psychotic liberals going cuckoo? Yeah, so Russ Carnahan’s office was burned. Tea Partier? Nope! TPM blogger and Carnahan staffer. The Department of Homeland Security, you know, the dudes are taking […]

 

When Are Americans Going To Stop Acting Like Sheep?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Does anyone like the airport screening process? Does anyone believe it makes a lick of security difference? Does the screening process save us? No, it gets us this: That same screener started emptying her wallet. “He was taking out the receipts and looking at them,” she said. “I understand that TSA is tasked with strengthening […]

 

Health Care Reform Kills College Students

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

The problem with never living with consequences is that one has trouble imagining consequences of one’s actions. Thus, a pampered elite class has trouble with health care reform because it’s chock full of unintended consequences–to them. Anyone with a brain and who has had to live the cause-effect understands and has an uncanny gift to […]

 

Hatemongers On The Left

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Yes, they have a lot of hatemongers. No, you won’t read anything in the self-same media complex about their own hatred and bias because, you know, bias. Here’s some examples from Newsbusters: Conservative Congresswoman Would Have Liked the Holocaust: “[Representative Michele Bachmann is] a hatemonger. She’s the type of person that would have gladly rounded […]

 

A Topic For Daily Caller: George Soros And His Money’s Incestuous Relationship With The President

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

The American Thinker has a nice piece illustrating the Soros’ “tentacles”. Indeed. Oh, and looky here: The Sojourner’s Blog, another Soros funded enterprise doing their best to establish President Obama’s Christian bonafides and it’s on CNN–that bastion of objectivity. Ah, how the lefty world turns. Rich, fertile soil for corruption don’t you think? Someone should […]

 

FBI Investigates You: National Security Letter: No Warrant, No Probable Cause, And No Way For You To Talk About It

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Here is the number that I find downright dismaying: Over 200,000 National Security Letters have been sent–all of them with gag orders. Read this from Wired and be alarmed: A national security letter is an informal administrative letter the FBI can use to secretly demand customer records from ISPs, financial institutions, libraries, insurance companies, travel […]

 

Blame Bush! Yeah, That’s The Ticket

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Yep, people still dislike Bush. No question. Many disaffected Republicans are furious with the party, have gone Independent, and believe President Bush caused much of the problems people deal with today. But their definition of problems (over taxing, spending like crazy, pointless wars) have all be exceeded by President Obama. President Obama’s unfavorable rating is […]

 

When Hope Fails, When Jobless Pays

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Artwork by Vasile Stan So, lots of Americans lose hope. And why not? It’s pretty miserable for people out there: Here’s the text, if you’re at work and can’t watch the video: CHYRON: “WELCOME TO THE RECOVERY” OBAMA TREASURY SEC. TIMOTHY GEITHNER NY TIMES 8/2/10 CHYRON: 9.5% UNEMPLOYMENT CROWD: [cheering] Obama, Obama, Obama! CHYRON: 14.6 […]

 

Moderate Muslims’ Fight Against White Multi-Culti Liberals

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

There’s nothing like a sanctimonious liberal bent on proving his open-mindedness to make things difficult for people actually trying to affect a cultural change. In this specific case, moderate Muslims want a voice at the table and help in changing public perception, but liberals will have none of it. On the one hand, we have […]

 

Michelle Obama Kicks It Euro-Style While Americans…And Barack Obama Watch

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

The press won’t go there because, well, they love President Barack Obama and this story, accurately reported, is painful. I haven’t gone there because I don’t really care what’s going on between President Obama and his wife. President Clinton defiling the Oval office concerned me because his actions were a big f-u to the American […]

 

Glenn Beck: “I listened to the Media Matters’ Tape. What am I, a detective?”

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Glenn Beck goes after Media Matters in an awesome way. Please listen. As usual, The Right Scoop gets the tape: Also, the President and everyone in the media gets roasted over a spit in this clip. So awesome. “The real fault is Keith Olbermann.” Oh, for context: Glenn Beck uses the Media Matters taking a […]
