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 […]

 

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 […]

 

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 […]

 

San Francisco Landlords Go Galt

Posted on by Dave Blount

Believing that housing should be provided at someone else’s expense, progressives are no friends of landlords, whom they persecute at every opportunity. Imagine how much fun it must be to provide people an opportunity to rent homes in a city completely run by moonbats — namely San Francisco. Some landlords have had enough: In San […]

 

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 […]

 

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 […]

 

Man Arrested for Reading Bible

Posted on by Dave Blount

Since this didn’t happen in Saudi Arabia or Iran, it could only have been in moonbattery-ravaged California — a man was actually hauled off in handcuffs for reading a Bible aloud: When Mark Mackey, a member of the local Calvary Chapel, showed up to the DMV office in Hemet, CA on February 2, he had […]

 

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. […]
