Congress May Cut Huge ObamaCare Slush Fund for Dietary Sermonizing

If Republicans are serious about staving off economic collapse by cutting some of the fat out of the federal budget, there could be fewer better places to start than with the giant slush fund ObamaCare established for frivolous anti-obesity campaigns: In a little-noticed hearing last Thursday, the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Health Subcommittee voted […]

 

ObamaCare Redistributes Our Wealth to Obama’s Deep-Pocketed Backers

In addition to the general purpose of giving federal bureaucrats more control over the life and death of every American, ObamaCare also advances more specific objectives — such as spreading the wealth around from taxpayers to the unions and crony capitalists who finance Obama’s campaigns: Facing questions from both parties in the Congress, the Obama […]

 

First as Tragedy, Second as Farce

As liberals took unseemly pleasure in reminding us after 9/11, we supported the Islamic militants who went on to wage a terror war against us when they were fighting the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. But back in the 1980s, we didn’t know these people were our mortal enemies. Now even the State Department knows it. […]

 

Justice Department Clears Itself on Black Panthers Outrage

Having looked into its appalling dismissal of the open and shut case of voter intimidation against New Black Panther activists, the Justice Department has cleared itself of any wrongdoing. Despite appearances, the situation has nothing to do with the DOJ’s policy of never prosecuting civil rights cases if the defendant is Caucasian. It’s official: The […]

 


Public Broadcasting Leftists Rake in Huge Salaries

When James O’Keefe pulled a sting operation on Ron Schiller of the left-wing propaganda service National Public Radio, the moonbat admitted not only to hatred of normal Americans and sympathy for Islamic terrorists, but also that NPR did not need any of the taxpayer money it has been bathing in. But the ill-gotten loot is […]

 


Moonbat Tech: Bamboo Bicycles

Possibly because it grows so fast or because it’s associated with the exotic Orient, moonbats have decided that bamboo is “sustainable.” Even bamboo flooring, slathered in all manner of unpronounceable chemicals to keep it from splintering, is marketed as “green.” Bicycles are green too, not only because they represent pre-fossil fuel technology but because they […]

 

Green as a Thistle, Nutty as a Fruitcake

If only the religion known as Environmentalism had a heaven, the impressively devout Vanessa of Green as a Thistle would qualify for entry if she really lives up to even half of her list of 366 green changes. Among her most preposterous techniques for saving the planet: 4. Switching to a recyclable toothbrush 17. Switching […]

 

PETA Demands Alterations to the Bible

Because political correctness is a totalitarian ideology, imposed by its proponents on every conceivable facet of human existence, language in the latest edition of the New International Version Bible has been altered to eradicate alleged linguistic sexism: forefathers changed to ancestors, he changed to he or she, et cetera. But animal rights militants want input […]

 

Cash for Clunkers II

What kind of economic policy would we see in a socialist country run by corrupt children with subnormal intelligence? Cash for Clunkers is a perfect example. By paying people to turn in their old cars to be scrapped, Big Government managed to use our money to create a fleeting illusion of economic activity. In reality, […]

 

The Union Money Party

Why would center-right America elect Democrat politicians, who have increasingly revealed themselves not only to be left, but hard left, and who close observers of current events can’t help but be aware do not like this country or mean it well? Because elections aren’t about common sense — they are about money. Unions have it, […]

 

America Leads the World in Untapped Fossil Fuel Reserves

In light of the extent to which we are at placed at the mercy of largely hostile nations for our energy supply, you would never guess who has the greatest reserves of fossil fuels. We do. From the Energy Tribune: America’s combined energy resources are, according to a new report from the Congressional Research Service […]

 

When Is a War Not a War?

Thankfully our leaders have clarified what they are up to in Libya. It isn’t a third simultaneous war, launched on behalf of people who are probably our enemies at a time when the economy is already staggering from excessive government spending. It’s a “kinetic military action“: In the last few days, Obama administration officials have […]

 



Medicare Is Mandatory

How nice of the government to thoughtfully confiscate our hard-earned money and use it to buy us subpar healthcare under Medicare. But what if some people would prefer to write off the loot expropriated, and pay again for superior private care? Under rule by liberals, they are out of luck: [T]he idea of patient choice […]

 

Packing Up for Texas

Wisconsin Democrats trying to block the democratic process on behalf of the insatiably greedy public sector unions that own them aren’t the last state senators to leave their state behind. While they saw fit to hide in the Land of Lincoln, others want out of it: Roger Keats, a former Illinois state senator and Cook […]

 

Hugo Chavez: Capitalism Ended Life on Mars

No wonder Comrade Obama has essentially pulled the plug on NASA, reducing it to a propaganda ministry devoted to publicizing the ancient scientific achievements of Muslims. He just wanted to stop the genocide. His pal Hugo Chavez reveals that capitalism may have snuffed out life on Mars: “I have always said, heard, that it would […]

 

George Monbiot Goes Sane on Nuclear Power

Maybe radiation leaked from the Fukushima plant rode the air currents to the far side of the world, where it caused a mutation in George Monbiot’s brain. It would be strange enough if he grew gills or an eye on his forehead, but this is downright bizarre. The ultra-left Guardian scribbler whose very name means […]

 


Gaddafi Forgives Obama for Throwing Him Under the Bus

To prop up a deteriorating public image, Barack Hussein Obama has been forced to throw yet another ally under the bus. But Muammar Gaddafi, a friend of the anti-American clique that produced the Manchurian Moonbat, forgives the treachery. Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi sent a message to the US President defending his decision to attack the […]

US Taxpayer Money to Be Showered Upon Anti-American BBC

What could be worse than Big Government financing snobby left-wing propaganda services like NPR and PBS with money forcibly extracted from American taxpayers? Only one thing: using our money to finance snobby left-wing propaganda services in other countries: The BBC World Service is to receive a “significant” sum of money from the US government to […]

Wind Farms Kill Whales

To the long list of reasons to put an immediate end to windmill boondoggles we can add that the hideous, noisy, expensive, and inefficient monstrosities kill whales: According to researchers at the University of St Andrews, the sound of offshore wind farms is likely to mess with the whales’ sensitive sonar systems and drive them […]

Lawrence O’Donnell on Ignorance

If there is one area where admitted socialist Lawrence O’Donnell would have any clue what he’s barking about, it would be ignorance. Yet even on this topic, Keith Olbermann’s stand-in proves to be a fatuous know-nothing. Liberals fear the fiery countermoonbat Michele Bachmann, so O’Donnell et al. are waging a propaganda war to destroy her […]

Big Government Mandates Defective Washing Machines

There is no part of your life statist liberals will not intrude upon and diminish — not even your washing machine: In 1996, top-loaders were pretty much the only type of washer around, and they were uniformly high quality. When Consumer Reports tested 18 models, 13 were “excellent” and five were “very good.” By 2007, […]

Muslims Murder Children, Palestinians Celebrate, HuffPo Moonbats Take Their Side

It’s party time in Gaza, in celebration of yet another ghastly atrocity presumably committed by followers of the Religion of Peace: Gaza residents from the southern city of Rafah hit the streets Saturday to celebrate the terror attack in the West Bank settlement of Itamar where five family members were murdered in their sleep, including […]

 

Moonbats Attempt to Link Earthquake to Global Warming

As predicted, moonbats have wasted no time attempting to exploit the tragedy in Japan by linking it to the nonexistent global warming crisis. Hours after a massive earthquake rattled Japan, environmental advocates connected the natural disaster to global warming. The president of the European Economic and Social Committee, Staffan Nilsson, issued a statement calling for […]
