Sierra Club: Hey, North Jersey, You Really Don’t Need Power

Posted on by William Teach

It’s interesting to note that every time there is a big storm that knocks out power, people immediately assault power companies for failing to spend oodles of money upgrading their infrastructure. Like just last year in New Jersey. This past July saw people and government freaking out on PepCo, a Maryland power company, along with […]

…everyone relax. (AP) Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, who promised early in his campaign to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, says he would keep several important parts of the overhaul. “Of course there are a number of things that I like in health care reform that I’m going to put in place,” he […]

 

Obama Pushes Stale, Tired “Grand Bargain” Plan That Has Already Failed

Posted on by William Teach

The man is truly out of ideas, but, then, he was out of ideas years ago, therefore he keeps recycling the same garbage that has failed to work. Consider (CBS News) President Obama is “more than happy to work with the Republicans” on creating a bipartisan budget that could pass a split Congress, he told […]

 

Good News: Wind Turbines Supposedly Making People Sick

Posted on by William Teach

Proponents of wind turbines say that this is all incidental and coincidental. Enough so that there is actually a medical condition name for it (UK Daily Mail) It was Uplawmoor’s tranquility and wild beauty that drew civil servant Aileen Jackson to settle there 28 years ago. She’d had enough of life in the big city. […]

 

Snap! Sunspots Do Impact Climate

Posted on by William Teach

I think you can forgive me for using “Snap!” Been awhile, and this article deserves it (via Climate Depot) (Washington Times) Scientists have been studying solar influences on the climate for more than 5,000 years. Chinese imperial astronomers kept detailed sunspot records. They noticed that more sunspots meant warmer weather. In 1801, the celebrated astronomer […]

 

Obama Mails It In For Weekly Address On September 11

Posted on by William Teach

It’s actually a very nice remembrance, right up till we get to the end 2nd paragraph, and completely at odds with his immediate thoughts on September 12, 2001 (White House) This week, we mark the eleventh anniversary of the September 11th attacks. It’s a time to remember the nearly 3,000 innocent men, women and children […]

 

Many Democrats Think We Should Ban All Corporate Profits

Posted on by William Teach

I heard this one yesterday while listening to Rush at the gym, and, unsurprisingly I was unsuprised at many of the answers Democrats provided (The Blaze) Radio talk show host and erstwhile Senate candidate Peter Schiff has a long track record of trying to reason with his opponents, or at least engage with them fairly.

Explaining Obama’s DNC Speech In One Paragraph

Posted on by William Teach

It’s very simple (Daily Caller) President Barack Obama‘s 2012 Democratic National Convention speech asked voters to embrace a planned economy where government leaders would set goals for large swathes of the economy. Pretty much exactly like we expected. This is all Obama and a good chunk of today’s Democrats know. Government. The speech validated the […]

 

Anderson Cooper: Debbie Downer Lives In “An Alternate Universe”

Posted on by William Teach

Y’all have certainly read about the brouhaha at the DNC regarding the vote to put God and Jerusalem as Israel’s capitol back into the Party abortionfest platform (more on that at the end of this post, except for the Right Wing News crosspost, since John has already covered it). But, what does Debbie Wasserman Schultz […]

 

Snort-worthy Clinton: “Are We Where We Want To Be? No”

Posted on by William Teach

Well, it’s certainly better off not having a president who sexually harasses women, was credibly accused of rape, impeached for lying to a federal grand jury (along with suborning testimony), and had stuck a cigar in the hoo-ha of a girl young enough to be his daughter. Instead, we have a president who, um, really […]

 

Chris Wallace On Michelle O: Speech Was “All About Government”

Posted on by William Teach

First off, even the AP can’t help but note some of the issues “He reminds me that we are playing a long game here … and that change is hard, and change is slow and it never happens all at once,” she told a nation impatient with slow economic progress and persistently high unemployment of […]

 

Gore Missing From DNC, But Ted Kennedy Was There

Posted on by William Teach

Some far left agitators have been wondering just where George W. Bush has been this election season. As has been repeated ad nauseum, he’s engaged in the time honored practice of staying out of politics once out of office. Except for the 2nd Worst President Ever (Jimmy Carter), who’ll show up to say how great […]

 

Paul Ryan: “Carter Years Were The Good Old Days”

Posted on by William Teach

As the Democratic National Abortionfest Convention opens up today in Charlotte, the Party faithful are concerned about what Obama’s plans are for the #1 issue, the economy.

Will Obama Address “You Didn’t Build That” At Convention?

Posted on by William Teach

The Washington Post thinks the answer is “no” After being pummeled for days at the Republican National Convention for his remark that business owners “didn’t build that,” President Obama heads to the Democratic National Convention in North Carolina this week facing mounting questions about how he will respond to charges that he is hostile to […]

 

Team Obama Tries To Spin Away What “Hope And Change” Means

Posted on by William Teach

At least in terms of when he was stating that he would bring a new era of “post-partisan” politics (Washington Post) On the January night in 2008 when he won the Iowa caucuses, Barack Obama delivered a victory speech that would reverberate forcefully across a divided America. Iowans, he said, had come together – Democrats, […]

 

Banning Abortion Is Now, Apparently, Racism

Posted on by William Teach

It was only a matter of time before some uber-leftist linked abortion (which is apparently the primary focus of the DNC) with raaaaacism. In this case, it’s Brian Fung at the Atlantic The Quiet Racism of Abortion Bans Like prohibitions on other goods and services, an abortion ban of the kind national conservatives propose would […]

 

Obama Says Republican Voters “Often Agree With Me”

Posted on by William Teach

Oh, really? (Daily Caller) Obama was asked, “So how are you going to talk to Republicans differently if you are reelected?” “Republican voters, if you ask them about my particular policy positions, often agree with me. So there’s a difference between Republicans in Washington and Republican and Republican-leaning voters around the country,” Obama said in […]

 

Anti-Obama Signs Freaking Some People Out

Posted on by William Teach

Interesting happenings up in Massachusetts (originally from Patriot Ledger) (Mediaite) A few homemade billboard signs in Hanson, Mass., have generated considerable controversy for their inflammatory anti-Obama messages. Sitting on the property of motorcycle accessories distributor Sullivans Inc., one large sign shows President Barack Obama with a caption that reads: “Somewhere in Kenya, a village is […]

 

On Mitt Romney’s Acceptance Speech….

Posted on by William Teach

It’ll be interesting to see what the viewership numbers are for Romney’s speech. Many are describing the speech as “workman-like.” I can agree with that. Workman-like is good. Workman-like is how my NY Giants have won the Superbowl twice in 5 years. Workman-like is how my NJ Devils have won 3 Stanley Cups, played in […]

 

Paul Ryan Electrifies RNC

There were many great speakers at the RNC Wednesday, among them Condi Rice and Tim Pawlenty (who should have shown that same passion before he ended up dropping out of the primaries), but the star of the night was, of course, Paul Ryan (Fox News) Paul Ryan rallied the Republican convention audience Wednesday night as […]

NY Times Oddly Unimpressed With Republicans “You Did Build That” Message

Posted on by William Teach

In yesterday’s Fish Wrap Of Record there were a total of 3 opinion pieces whining about Republicans taking Obama’s “you didn’t build that!” comment out of context with the RNC motto of “You Did Build That!” Here’s the Times’ uber-far left Editorial Board It was appropriate that “We built it,” the needling slogan of the […]

 

Should Anyone Be Surprised That MSNBC Cut The Speeches Of Republican Minorities?

Posted on by William Teach

While Liberals are hyperventilating over an RNC attendee supposedly throwing nuts at a Black camerawoman and saying “this is how we feed the animals”, calling this racism (it may or may not have been. It could have been a jerk being a jerk to the very liberal media, or, yeah, could have been a racist), […]

 

What Say To Muslim Extremists Praying At The DNC?

Posted on by William Teach

No one should be particularly surprised. Democrats constantly yammer on about “diversity”, yet they never seem to actually investigate what diversity they are supporting. These are also people who support Palestinian homicide bombers, wanted America to fail in Iraq and Afghanistan (partly because Bush was president), and many thought Osama Bin Laden was assassinated and […]

 

Happy 2500 Days: Obama Plans To Campaign As Potential Hurricane Isaac Hits

Posted on by William Teach

Over the past few days we’ve been treated to a constant litany of news that wonders if it is proper for the GOP to hold their convention at all, much less toning it down, as Isaac has been churning in the Gulf of Mexico. This notion ramped up when it looked like Isaac was going […]
