Navy May Name Ship After Leftist Icon Cesar Chavez

Posted on by Dave Blount

A free country requires civilian control of the military. Unfortunately, in our times that means top down moonbattery, as exemplified by the possibility that the Navy will name a new cargo ship after Cesar Chavez to pander to left-wing Hispanics. James Gill, a spokesman for General Dynamics NASSCO in San Diego, said Monday the company […]

 

Dems Vote “Present” on Amendment to Honor Intelligence Community for Finding Bin Laden

Posted on by Dave Blount

There isn’t much the farthest fringes of the Democrat Party can agree on with normal Americans, but at least we all salute the intelligence community for tracking down Obama bin I mean Osama bin Laden, right? Wrong: After more than a week of deliberation, the House overwhelmingly approved a measure honoring the intelligence community for […]

 

Newt Gingrich Endorses Socialized Medicine

Posted on by Dave Blount

Anyone who would snuggle on a couch with Nancy Pelosi to promote the global warming hoax is either a moron or an authoritarian statist. Newt Gingrich confirms that he is the latter: Newt Gingrich’s appearance on “Meet the Press” [yesterday] could leave some wondering which party’s nomination he is running for. The former speaker had […]

 

Kid’s Drawing of Old Glory Suppressed

Posted on by Dave Blount

The American flag represents our country, our Constitution, our history, and our Armed Forces, yet it doesn’t represent our government, which is dominated by people hostile to everything it stands for. This is why Old Glory strikes the eye as a jarringly artificial prop when used as a backdrop by our progressive rulers. It’s also […]

 

Federal Government Denies Wildfire Aid to Texas, Gives It to Mexico

Posted on by Dave Blount

It would be hard to find a story more emblematic of Obamunism: Just last month the U.S. sent two Air force cargo planes to help Mexico battle back wildfires in the northern part of its country, fires that burned 386 square miles. It’s a move that West Texas Congressman Francisco Canseco (R-Fort Stockton) thinks is […]

 

City Council Takes Control of Backyard Birdfeeders

Posted on by Dave Blount

The low-hanging fruit is long gone when it comes to finding new aspects of our lives for bureaucrats to micromanage. In Ohio, Cuyahoga Falls City Council is tightening its fist around backyard birdfeeders. The pretext is a parody of what you would expect: Councilman Jerry James tells AkronNewsNow.com “There’s a lot of seed that comes […]

 

Government Cameras Record What Kids Eat

Posted on by Dave Blount

You can hardly blame Big Government for spending us to the edge of total economic collapse. It costs money to monitor and regulate every imaginable aspect of human behavior. For example, in a San Antonio elementary school, bureaucrats are installing high-tech cameras in the cafeteria to record what kids put on their lunch trays and […]

 

Tangled in Red Tape, Government Workers Look on as Boy Drowns

Posted on by Dave Blount

If you’re in danger of drowning, hope that there’s someone around to save you who doesn’t work for the government. From Everett, Washington: Witnesses say 13-year-old Austin Anglin was trapped underneath his family’s boat for about 40 agonizing minutes before Coast Guard crews pulled him out of the water. For at least some of that […]

 

Obama Regime Moves to Kill Boeing Plant in South Carolina

Posted on by Dave Blount

Anyone who doubts that Atlas Shrugged is not so much fiction as an alarmingly accurate prediction of where left-wing authoritarianism would take America needs to read the plea for sanity from Boeing President and CEO Jim McNerney in today’s Wall Street Journal: Deep into the recent recession, Boeing decided to invest more than $1 billion […]

 

Johnathan Perkins, Privileged Victim of Make-Believe Racism

Posted on by Dave Blount

University of Virginia law school student of politically correct ethnicity Johnathan Perkins has made a contribution to the vast and ever-expanding store of phony hate crimes. His terrifying tale: Perkins made his allegations in a letter to the editor of the U.Va. law school’s student newspaper, Virginia Law Weekly. He sent a copy to the […]

 

Obama Regime Stonewalls Investigation Into Gun Running Outrage

Posted on by Dave Blount

The “mainstream” media has been trying to suppress the story; but then, it initially tried to suppress Monica Lewinsky too. In the age of the Internet, nothing as explosive as the federal government attempting to cover up a program to undercut the Second Amendment by facilitating the illegal traffic of American guns into the hands […]

 

2 + 2 = We Must Raise Taxes Because White People Are Bad

Posted on by Dave Blount

Since moonbattery is a totalitarian ideology, nothing escapes from its poisonous lies — not even mathematics. Teachers unsure how to pass off indoctrination in race-based Marxism (a.k.a. “social justice”) as a math class can find resources to assist them at Radical Math: There are at least two related ideas behind “Social Justice Math”. The first […]

 

Libraries Blow Money on Business Cards for Janitors in Illiterate Detroit

Posted on by Dave Blount

Lyndon Johnson picked up where FDR left off in reducing the Land of the Free to a welfare slave state. An example of the ongoing damage that has been done by his malignant “Great Society” agenda is Detroit, a wealthy capital of industry prior to participating in his “Model Cities” program, which has been called […]

 

Taxing by the Mile

Posted on by Dave Blount

The primary purpose of federal taxes is not to raise revenue. If it were, the Laffer Curve dictates that rates be lowered, as Reagan and JFK illustrated. Since Big Government prints all the money it wants, essentially taxing us through inflation, the only point of direction taxation is to exert control. That’s why the Obama […]

 

Huffington Post Readers Respond to Osama bin Laden’s Demise

Posted on by Dave Blount

Now that the dust is beginning to settle from justice having caught up with Osama bin Laden, let’s see how readers at the largest liberal blog — the one AOL paid $315 million for — are taking the news: libobstruction I’m holding my congratualtions until after an investigation has been preformed and proove’s that everything […]

 

Indians Finally Find an Excuse to Be Offended

Posted on by Dave Blount

The SEALs used an apt code name for Osama bin Laden; they called him Geronimo, after the Apache warrior who was an enemy of the USA (and Mexico) and famously hard to find. But this isn’t going over well with racial grievance snivelers, who have been waiting for so many generations for somebody to insult […]

 

The EPA’s War on Energy Producer Range Resources

Posted on by Dave Blount

Even before America slit its wrists by electing him, Barack Hussein Obama gave us a preview of his energy policy by promising to use deliberately excessive regulation to bankrupt coal plants. The objective in destroying the energy sector is twofold: 1) devastate our still quasi-capitalist economy, creating enough hardship to pave the way for true […]

 

Hats Off to Canada

Posted on by Dave Blount

Even as Barack Hussein Obama tries to force the center-right USA to the left by ramming through exceedingly unpopular legislation like ObamaCare, Stephen Harper is leading more liberal Canada in the opposite direction: Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper won his coveted majority government in elections that changed Canada’s political landscape with the opposition Liberals and […]

 

Cringing Liberal Throws Wet Blanket on bin Laden Celebrations

Posted on by Dave Blount

Liberals didn’t like all the flags that spontaneously appeared after 9/11. Now that Osama bin Laden has finally gotten what he had coming, they aren’t liking the patriotic celebrations. WaPo’s Petula Dvorak sanctimoniously gripes about displays of national joy, which she denounces as “vulgar”: When I saw that folks were celebrating in the streets at […]

 

Liberal Energy Policy: Make All the Lights Go Out

Posted on by Dave Blount

If you think Obama’s energy policy of suppressing our own oil industry while giving other countries taxpayer money to develop theirs is insane, just hope he doesn’t inflict some of the truly deranged ideas being floated by moonbats like Daniel Weiss, senior fellow and director of “climate strategy” at the liberal think tank Center for […]

 

Bloomberg Calls for Banishing Immigrants to Detroit

Posted on by Dave Blount

This could be the closest thing to a good idea NYC’s Mayor for Life has had yet: Detroit needs residents. Immigrants want to live in America. Michael Bloomberg says he’s got a simple solution for both needs — send all new immigrants to Detroit. In a novel approach to immigration reform, the New York City […]

 

Lawyer Sues Strip Club for Letting Him Spend His Money There

Posted on by Dave Blount

Lawyer Mark Gold makes a cushy living helping the irresponsible evade responsibility by defending drunk drivers. When he found he had blown $18,930 in one night bingeing at a strip club, rather than pay his bill he fell back on his jobs skills: Now the 56-year-old attorney is taking the Gold Rush [bwahaha!] club to […]

 

Obama Regime Uses Tiny Lizard as Pretext to Strangle Texas Oil Industry

Posted on by Dave Blount

Obama et al. have used the spill by his crony capitalist bankrollers at BP as a pretext to shut down oil drilling in the gulf, and the exhaust fumes from an icebreaker to choke off Alaska, but how to justify suppressing land drilling in the desert wastes of West Texas? Here’s how: A three-inch lizard […]

 

Calling Pets “Pets” Is a Thought Crime

Posted on by Dave Blount

It’s time for a new edition of the Newspeak dictionary. According to the pointy-headed circus clowns who pass down surrealist moral judgments from atop their ivory towers, our current vocabulary oppresses animals: Animal lovers should stop calling their furry or feathered friends “pets” because the term is insulting, leading academics claim. Domestic dogs, cats, hamsters […]

 

Obama Administration to Top Pharmaceutical Exec Howard Solomon: You’re Fired

Posted on by Dave Blount

Obama may be a communist by upbringing and inclination, but at this point his “fundamental transformation of America” more closely resembles fascism. Under communism, the government directly owns everything, and everyone works for it, essentially as a slave. In subtle contrast, fascism allows for ostensibly private concerns that in reality are run by the government. […]

 

Mugabe Extends Race-Based Looting Spree to Foreign Companies

Posted on by Dave Blount

Sometimes it’s tempting to skip ahead in a book to see how things will turn out. This can be done with Obamunism, because the same political phenomenon is farther along in other countries. For example, by turning to Zimbabwe, we can see what happens after the government has bled dry or seized every business within […]

 

As Oil Prices Rise, EPA Attempts to Shut Down Alaska Pipeline

Posted on by Dave Blount

While Comrade Obama lays the groundwork for Soviet-style show trials to blame the people who provide us with gasoline for the cost of their product, here’s an example of why prices won’t be coming down so long as liberals have their “boot on the neck” of the energy sector: Shell Oil Company has announced it […]
