GOP Moving Away From Path To Citizenship For Illegals

Posted on by William Teach

Well, this should drive Democrats nuts (Washington Times) House Republicans are meeting Wednesday to hash out their own strategy on immigration, but already one major difference has emerged between them and their Senate counterparts – they are far less enthusiastic about an eventual path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. Even many of the 32 Senate […]

 

We’re Apparently All Deniers Of The Third Kind Now

Posted on by William Teach

One of the things I adore when it comes to the “climate change” debate is that Warmists are always coming up with new ways to amuse me. Sure, Democrats/Liberals/Progressives (you can add in Marxists, Socialists, and authoritarians in, too) can be maddening, and Warmists are primarily made up of those people, but their unhinged pronouncements […]

 

WSJ: King Obama Suspends The Law

Posted on by William Teach

Michael McConnell notes that (NMP) Obama is acting more like an English king of old (Wall Street Journal) President Obama’s decision last week to suspend the employer mandate of the Affordable Care Act may be welcome relief to businesses affected by this provision, but it raises grave concerns about his understanding of the role of […]

 

NY Times: What Abortion Needs Is The Face Of Freedom Or Something

Posted on by William Teach

I’ll never understand how abortion became one of the sacraments for Liberals, how they push for unfettered abortion access with no regulations. This is the same group which wants more and more restrictions on gun ownership, despite there actually being a Constitutional Amendment in support of gun rights. Back during the debate post Sandy Hook […]

 

As People Complain About Student Loans, Don’t Forget: Obamacare

Posted on by William Teach

Rarely a day goes by without one of the big news sites complaining in some form or fashion about the coming hike in the student loan percentage. It could be an elected politician, a student group, or Obama, or simply the news outlet. Like today in The Politico Congress returns to Washington this week groping […]

 

Obamacare Exchanges Won’t Bother Verifying Income

Posted on by William Teach

What could possibly go wrong? (Washington Post) The Obama administration announced Friday that it would significantly scale back the health law’s requirements that new insurance marketplaces verify consumers’ income and health insurance status. Instead, the federal government will rely more heavily on consumers’ self-reported information until 2015, when it plans to have stronger verification systems […]

 

Fast And Furious Gun Used In Killing Of Mexican Police Chief

Posted on by William Teach

During a Republican presidential administration, this would be big news. Heck, it would have been big news from the get-go, with angry opinion pieces and editorials demanding massive Congressional inquiries. At least two American federal agents were killed by the 2,400 guns that were “walked.” At least 200 Mexican civilians, including children, have been killed […]

Nanny Bloomberg Pushes Law To Force Composting

Posted on by William Teach

Why is NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg such a popular fellow? Because he perfectly encapsulates what Progressives stand for: bigger and bigger governmental control over Other People’s lives, from big things down to the tiny things. This is what Progressives want, but notice the use of the phrase “Other People’s lives”. When it comes to laws, […]

 

NY Times Publishes Pro-Muslim Brotherhood Op-Ed

Posted on by William Teach

Of course, this is one of the great things about American democracy (don’t start with the “it’s a Republic” thing), based on the 1st Amendment: allowing other viewpoints. Which is interesting for the NY Times, because, at best, they rarely allow more than super-squishy Republicans to publish op-eds. Anyhow, here’s the Brookings Institute’s Shadi Hamid, […]

 

Bummer: Sea Rise Worse Than We Thought

Posted on by William Teach

And by worse, I mean worse for the disciples of the Cult Of Climate Change (Daily Caller) When Barack Obama promised to slow the earth’s rising sea levels and heal the planet during the 2008 campaign, he probably had no idea that curbing carbon dioxide emissions might not lower the sea levels. A study published […]

 

On Independence Day, Liberals Can’t Help Being Jerks

Posted on by William Teach

What is it about July 4th that brings out the worst in Liberals? For a party that says they are “progressive” and future looking, they sure seem to focus on all the bad that has occurred, and whine and whine and whine. The Washington Post features not one, not two, but three negative pieces (in […]

 

Surprise! Employer Mandate Delayed Until After 2014 Midterms

Posted on by William Teach

First Democrats wrote Obamacare to make sure that the painful parts would start after the 2012 election, now Team Obama looks to make sure that the employer mandate kicks in after the midterms. Kudos to The Hill for pointing this out in their headline. The ObamaCare employer mandate requiring businesses to provide their workers with […]

 

NC Senate Adds Common Sense Abortion Restrictions To Sharia Law Bill

Posted on by William Teach

When I first saw this article at both WRAL and the Raleigh News and Observer, I was really hoping that there would be a Memeorandum thread, with a whole bunch of liberals freaking out over what are common sense restrictions. I got the first, but not the second. From the N&O A bill restricting abortions […]

Man With 41,000 Metric Ton Carbon Footprint Doesn’t Want Africans To Have AC And Big Houses

Good Grief: Late 20th Century El Nino Now Blamed On “Climate Change”

Posted on by William Teach

Sad when we have to start the post with a facepalm, rather than ending with one (Bloomberg) The El Nino weather pattern that can bring drought to Australia and rain to South America was “unusually active” at the end of the 20th century, possibly due to climate change, a University of Hawaii study found.

Atheists Build Monument In Florida, Promise 50 More

Posted on by William Teach

I’ve often said that I have no problem with the 10 Commandments being on public property: the religious clause is about government establishing a nation religion, not against the government displaying religion. The clause was in response to how much the Church of England was involved in government pre-revolution. That said, I’ve also stated that […]

 

Congressman Steve Stockman Says Senate Amnesty Bill Is Unconstitutional

Posted on by William Teach

Not that many elected officials actually care about that pesky Constitution thingy (Washington Times) Rep. Steve Stockman, a Texas Republican, said Friday that the Senate immigration bill is a revenue measure, which makes it unconstitutional because all revenue bills must start in the House. “Not only is the Senate amnesty bill an abuse of taxpayers […]

 

Horrified Bird Watchers See Rare White Throated Needletail Whacked By Wind Turbine

Posted on by William Teach

But, as we’ve seen, most Warmist supporters forget that they’re cult is supposed to be based in environmentalism, and tell us that a few bird deaths are no big deal, not when we’re saving Gaia from catching a fever and having Bad Weather. (UK Daily Mail) There had been only eight recorded sightings of the […]

 

More Than Half Of Republican Senators Vote Against Amnesty Bill

White House Releases Its Scareathon State By State “Climate Change” Report

Posted on by William Teach

The best is the one from Hawaii, which notes (via Watts Up With That?) The US Department of Agriculture designated 31 counties in Hawaii as primary natural disaster areas due to damages and losses from drought in 2012. Hawaii has 5 counties. One would think that a president who was raised there might know that. […]

 

Surprise: Several Liberal Groups Enraged Over Border Control Provisions

Posted on by William Teach

Liberal and pro-amnesty groups must surely know that the border control provisions in the Democrat Schumer-Rubio amnesty bill will, for the most part, be ignored, especially by the current far-left administration. Just like happened when the last amnesty was passed. Just like with much of the border control legislation passed in 2006 (which was also […]

 

Man With Giant Carbon Footprint Squees Over Speech Given By Man With Biggest CFP In World

If you guessed that the first was Al Gore, and he’s congratulating Obama for making a speech, you get a cookie. No beer.

Big Carbon Footprint Obama To Give His Deflection To Climate Change Speech Today

Yeah, we know which mode of transportation he’ll choose (CBS) With little to no hope on Capitol Hill for action on […]

 

Rich SecState Takes Fossil Fueled Flight To India To Complain About Fossil Fuels

Posted on by William Teach

If Obama wanted a Secretary of State whose primary focus was “Climate change”, he picked the right one in John Kerry, a true disciple of Gore and Mann, who cares little for science, and ignores the 15+ year pause in warming, ignores that most climate models fail, and is an utter climahypocrite. (NY Times) Secretary […]
