James Meeks: Racialist Spoils System Should Only Benefit Blacks

Posted on by Dave Blount

Sorry, women. Sorry, Hispanics. Chicago mayoral candidate James Meeks says quota spoils in the form of set-aside city contracts should go only to blacks: “The word ‘minority’ from our standpoint should mean African American. I don’t think women, Asians and Hispanics should be able to use that title,” he said. “That’s why our numbers cannot […]

 

European Court Imposes Abortion on Catholic Ireland

Posted on by Dave Blount

Ireland may want to think twice about taking any bailouts from the EU in light of the European Court’s eagerness to meddle in its domestic affairs: Ireland’s constitutional ban on abortion violates pregnant women’s right to receive proper medical care in life-threatening cases, the European Court of Human Rights ruled Thursday, harshly criticizing Ireland’s long […]

 

San Jose Bans Plastic Bags

Posted on by Dave Blount

The petty tyrants running San Jose have pushed us along for another step toward our glorious green freedom-free future: San Jose is to become the largest city in the U.S. to ban plastic carry-out bags, according to a report.

Posted on by Dave Blount

Journalists are advised to update their Newspeak dictionaries at once.

Envirofascism Leaves Dirty Dishes

Posted on by Dave Blount

Everything is grubby in countries run by statist moonbats — even dishes fresh out of the dishwasher. A couple of months ago, Sandra Young from Vernon, Fla., started to notice that something was seriously amiss with her dishes. “The pots and pans were gray, the aluminum was starting to turn black, the glasses had fingerprints […]

 

Punishing Moonbat Heresy I: The UN’s Defamation of Religions Resolution

Posted on by Dave Blount

A primary seat of power for the moonbat–Muslim alliance is the malignant United Nations, where any criticism of Islam is regarded as heresy. A new resolution will sanction punishment: Later this month, the United Nations General Assembly will vote on the nonbinding Defamation of Religions Resolution, which would give international sanction to the type of […]

 

Punishing Moonbat Heresy II: Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard

Posted on by Dave Blount

After Galileo Galilei was forced by the authoritarian establishment of his time to renounce his observation that the Earth revolves around the Sun, he’s said to have said, “And yet it moves.” The modern equivalent would be, “And yet homosexuality spreads AIDS.” The new archbishop of Brussels, Andre-Joseph Leonard, is being targeted by homosexualist groups, […]

 

Science Proves That Liberals Are Easily Led Astray

Posted on by Dave Blount

We’ve always known that conservatives stay true to enduring values, whereas liberals are led this way and that as they chase the pernicious intellectual fads pushed by the malignant puppeteers who run the progressive media and academic establishments. Now science confirms it: In a new study, [University of Nebraska-Lincoln] researchers measured both liberals’ and conservatives’ […]

 

Muslim Congressman Advocates Economic Terrorism

Posted on by Dave Blount

The Muslim–moonbat alliance has an avatar in Keith Ellison, the leftist Nation of Islam alumnus Minneapolis sees fit to send to Congress. An interview with his fellow progressives at Minnesota Public Radio offers insight into our first Muslim Congresscritter’s mentality. Here’s why he doesn’t like the tax compromise Comrade Obama struck with Republicans: “I think […]

 

Assange’s Hideout: Journalist Club

Posted on by Dave Blount

America’s enemies certainly find undignified places to hide. Remember Saddam Hussein’s spider hole? Julian Assange found a still more unsavory sanctuary — a British club for journalists: The Frontline Club in London is the kind of place where war correspondents and investigative reporters mingle with admirers and wannabes, fired by a shared passion for exposing […]

 

Islamic Radicals Training TSA

Posted on by Dave Blount

I only wish this story were a spoof on the eagerness of our rulers to play into the hands of our worst enemies: According to a press release by the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), the organization recently completed training for 2,200 officers charged with protecting our nation’s air security. According to the release, the […]

 

More Tantrums in London Over Tuition

Posted on by Dave Blount

Liberalism promises everything you want at someone else’s expense, hooking the unscrupulous on the opiate of government largesse. The problem, as Margaret Thatcher famously pointed out, is that eventually socialists run out of other people’s money. That’s when the withdrawal symptoms set in — including violent tantrums by Big Government’s beneficiaries: Police with riot shields […]

 

Big Government Still Hiring

Posted on by Dave Blount

If the government doesn’t stop spending, it will literally cause the economy to collapse. You don’t need a degree in economics to realize that you can’t keep spending far more money than you make indefinitely. When the reckoning comes, we will be competing with rats to find something edible in dumpsters. But for now the […]

 

They’re Socialists, All Right

Posted on by Dave Blount

A favorite theme in horror/sci-fi movies is the demon or alien that can take over people’s bodies. Once the villain has moved to a new host, the body it inhabited previously can be discarded. This is why the old Stalinist vehicle known as the Communist Party USA won’t be needed for much longer. The fiend […]

 

FCC Commissioner Michael Copps Dreams of Inflicting “Public Value Test”

Posted on by Dave Blount

If FCC Commissioner Michael Copps had any hair, he would let it down not only for the BBC, but also for moonbat-infested Columbia University: American journalism is in “grave peril,” FCC Commissioner Michael Copps says, and to bolster “traditional media,” he said the Federal Communications Commission should conduct a “public value test” of every commercial […]

 

Anti-Gun Nut Picked to Head ATF

Posted on by Dave Blount

Why do you suppose Comrade Obama waited until after the midterms to fill a vacancy at the top of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives? So he wouldn’t inflict too much damage on his party by nominating an anti-Second Amendment zealot like Andrew Traver: As special agent in charge of Chicago’s ATF field […]

 

Do-Gooders Declare Internet to Be a Human Right

Posted on by Dave Blount

Most causes advanced by do-gooders sound great — until you give a moment’s thought to where their underlying assumptions will lead. For example: If you’re looking to do something good for a change, the NGO A Human Right, which believes “equal, universal, uninhibited Internet access is a human right,” is in the process of raising […]

 

USA Bailing Out Bankrupt Europe

Posted on by Dave Blount

If you’ve read Ayn Rand’s prophetic Atlas Shrugged, you probably saw this coming. American taxpayers are being asked to bail out socialist Europe: The United States would be ready to support the extension of the European Financial Stability Facility via an extra commitment of money from the International Monetary Fund, a U.S. official told Reuters […]

 

Assange’s Supplier and the Repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell

Posted on by Dave Blount

Julian Assange isn’t the only repugnant creepazoid involved in potentially getting people killed by exposing secret documents on WikiLeaks. Assange got many of his documents from Bradley Manning. For insight into Manning’s motivation, don’t waste your time on the “mainstream” media. Accuracy in Media reports on the reporters: The New York Times reported, “The possibility […]

 

British Report: Not Letting Sex Criminals Adopt Children Is Discriminatory

Posted on by Dave Blount

Britain provides yet another example of why the last people you would want advising lawmakers are pointy-headed liberal establishment “experts”: The government could face legal action if it continues to ban sex offenders from working with children, according to research published today. A report by a family law expert argues that some sex offenders should […]

 

Smoking Gun on Google Bias: Moonbattery.com Listed as “Compromised”

Posted on by Dave Blount

It looks like Moonbattery’s gentle admonishments of Google for incessantly wallowing in leftist ideology are not going over very well: There is no technical problem with the site, as the ISP has confirmed. Despite its liberal corporate climate, Google supposedly returns search results on a nonpartisan basis. But Moonbattery’s bogus “compromised” status suggests otherwise. On […]

 

HuffPo Commenters on the Oregon Bomber

Posted on by Dave Blount

Somali-born Mohamed Osman Mohamud thought he was serving Islam’s evil god by killing hundreds of innocent Americans at a Christmas tree-lighting celebration in Portland. Actually, all he was doing was walking into an FBI trap — and inspiring affection and spittle-spewing moonbattery among commenters at the largest liberal blog, Huffington Post. A few samples: MNmommy […]

Posted on by Dave Blount

In liberal Oregon, how do the authorities react to a Muslim attempt to murder hundreds of innocent families at a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony? But protecting Muslims, naturally: Patrols around mosques and other Islamic sites in Portland have been stepped up as Muslim leaders expressed fears of retribution, days after a Somali-American man was accused of […]

Helen Thomas’s long career in journalistic moonbattery is over, but she’s not done collecting kudos from her admirers.
