President Obama’s Afghanistan Speech: Incoherence Wrapped In A Conundrum

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

A couple thoughts: The New York Times got it right: It was two speeches. The first, to appease the Left included tasty tidbits: No torture, Gitmo, successful conclusion, pull-out. The second, to placate anyone who loves freedom and protecting the innocent: Troop increase, generals, brave, Iraq. The speech inspired vitriol from the left because their […]

 

ACORN: A Money Laundering Scheme?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Matthew Vadum of the American Spectator investigates: I have just discovered that three senior ACORN officials have recently given wildly divergent accounts of the size of ACORN’s budget. ACORN current CEO and chief organizer Bertha Lewis claimed in October that ACORN had an “average budget” between “$20 [million] and $25 million a year for everything, […]

 

Tiger Woods Can’t Win This Game

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Tiger Woods is in the deep rough today. He’s avoiding talking to the police. They’re seeking search warrants for his medical records. This is a disaster of monumental proportions for the golf star. No matter what he loses. He was either under the influence of some controlled and crashed his vehicle. Or, he was beat […]

 

No One Remembers Barack Obama From Columbia

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

An email is going around with this as the content: NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA Looking for evidence of Obama’s past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him. Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who […]

 

Obama Knew The Crashers? He Met Them Before

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

In case you missed it this weekend… Is there more to this story? The Anchoress thinks so. Gateway Pundit has more details about how the Crashers are buddies with Obama’s buddy terrorist-loving Rashid Khalidi. Anyway, American Power has more. I just wanted you guys to know that there might be more story behind the fame-grabbing […]

 

Andrew Sullivan Begins The Week Doing Another Sarah Palin Gynecological Exam

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Andrew Sullivan, is, in a word, tedious: I’ve emailed Bellow asking him about the fact-checking process for “Going Rogue.” Getting an on-the-record confirmation that, for example, Harper Collins reviewed the medical records proving Palin’s multiple medical stories (including corrected hospital records by her own account) would be a useful piece of information. Since it appears […]

PETA Speech: I Think Liberal Networks Should Air Liberal Ads

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Really, now. Why hide from this: The ad wraps up the left’s disgust with America. Crappy tradition, crappy white family, crappy Thanksgiving, hypocritical Christians, and of course, animal-hatred. Basically the ad captures everything they hate about America in one ad. It’s fabulous! Let America know. Be overt! Don’t be shy! And some libs agree: PETA […]

Sarah Palin And Identity Politics: Using The Left’s Standards Against Them

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Identity politics grate on most conservatives, or they did until Sarah Palin came along. Most conservatives who loved Sarah Palin, didn’t love her because she was the best looking woman on TV–forget in politics. Most conservatives loved her conservative ideals and her connection to average Americans. And her ideals, connection, and her beauty, provoked rage […]

 

The Left Wishes Sarah Palin Wasn’t

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Wouldn’t it be nice if no one was pushing back against the leftist, state-growing agenda? It would be bad for America, but great for Democrats. It would be bad for America, but great for establishment Republicans. I bet John McCain really wonders about what he’s wrought. You know what’s driving the left nuts right now? […]

 

Relying On Republicans: It’s Always Darkest Before It Goes Pitch Black

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

I mean, it’s always darkest before the dawn. Yeah, that’s what I meant. Do you have any confidence that the Republicans will fight passage of this disastrous health care bill? With 60% of America against this bill, one would think this fight would be pretty safe fight. That is, people are on your side. The […]

 

An Environmental Disaster Of Epic Proportions

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

An environmental cataclysm occurred this week. Al Gore is somewhere howling in psychic pain. Global warming skeptics and any real scientists rejoice: the fable of Global Warming aka Climate Change aka Impending Doom has been revealed for a scientifically manipulated fraud. Noel Sheppard of Newsbusters has an excellent wrap-up of the story (damning emails, links) […]

 

Sarah Palin Helped Oprah: Better Ratings Than With Obama!

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Wow. That’s gotta be galling for Oprah to know that coddling Obama cost her so much. Meanwhile, a visit by Sarah Palin nets her the best ratings in years: Monday’s episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” drew a 8.7 household rating and 13 share — the best since Oprah had the entire Osmond family on […]

Sarah Palin Interviewed By Rush And Oprah, A Study In Contrasts

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

The Sarah Palin – Oprah interview couldn’t have been more different than the Sarah Palin – Rush interview. I watched the Oprah interview yesterday after having not watched the Oprah Show in years. I listened to Rush today after listening intermittently for years. If I tell you how long, you’ll realize I’m older than I […]

The Sarah Palin Storm Begins: Will Her Book Bring Her Back?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

The jealous ovary hater Andrew Sullivan froths again. Sarah Palin must be peeking her head out of Alaska and Facebook. How DARE she?! Still, I can’t help but imagining the envy among fellow Republicans. Rick Perry spouting about Obama’s socialism won’t get the press that Sarah Palin’s discussion about anything will get. And still Sarah […]

 

Genocide In India: The Logical Conclusion When Life Is Devalued

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Yet, when I returned to India as an adult even my pro-choice mind could not comprehend the absolute horror of the fact that in less […]

 

Is Trying 9/11 Mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed The Dumbest Obama Idea Yet?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Trying the evil Sheikh in New York City under the American legal system is the dumbest idea ever in the history of dumb presidential legal ideas and that’s when compared to the biggest poop pile of dumb Obama ideas generally which are the worst in any American presidency ever.* Trying KSM in NYC is the […]

 

President Obama’s Defensive Posture: No Hand Over His Heart During National Anthem–Update

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Go over to Pamela Geller’s place and check this out and then come back. Why won’t President Obama put his hand over his heart, a sign of devotion, during the National Anthem? Even better, why does President Obama protect the family jewels (symbolically) by interlacing his fingers in front of his crotch when the National […]

 

The Islamofascist Everyone Knew: “You would not want Nidal Hasan in your foxhole.”

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

From NPR: Starting in the spring of 2008, key officials from Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences held a series of meetings and conversations, in part about Maj. Nidal Hasan, the man accused of killing 13 people and wounding dozens of others last week during a shooting […]
