Despite the fact that the climate temperature has decreased by .74F since Gore release An Inconvenient Truth even though CO2 atmospheric concentrations continue to rise, the True Believers think they have hit upon another fantastic scheme, controlling the rich To fairly divide the climate change fight between rich and poor, a new study suggests basing […]

One would think that a responsible elected official would read the legislation before voting for it, alas After Democratic promises to run the most open and transparent Congress in history, Republicans say they are stunned by the number of closed-off debates over legislation, including spending bills, and the lack of time to actually see, let […]

Will Rogers once said “We elect people to office that we wouldn’t invite over for dinner.” And H.L. Mencken put forth that “A good politician is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar.” For the most part, people in national politics, and not just the politicians, but the handlers, the media, the policy wonks, etc, […]

One thing we conservatives have always been is honest. We’ve said time and time again that we will go after politicians, our own and the Democrats, on policy. We went after Bush on some issues, such as Dubai Ports, illegal immigration, out of control spending, and Harriet Myers, among others. And, unlike the Left, we […]

And gets truly stupid. Mike Lux, in what looks to be a shameless plug for his book, goes Pure Barking Moonbat On this holiday celebrating the courage of America’s brave revolutionary founders, all Americans can celebrate. But progressives should take special pride in this holiday, for it was the ultimate achievement of progressive values that […]

Just got back from the pool, have watched what was going on on Twitter and the ‘Net on ye olde iPhone. Both John and Cassy have posts up, but, I want to add my 2 1/3 cents in In a stunning announcement, Gov. Sarah Palin said Friday morning she will resign her office in a […]

Get a load of this claptrap Randy Brinson, a conservative political consultant in Alabama, has been fielding anxious calls for weeks from business interests across the South. Their concern is massive ad blitz on Christian and country-music stations across 10 states. The ads, funded by a left-leaning coalition, urge support for congressional legislation to curb […]

Just remember what Obama said: Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. And, that is exactly what someone in the know thinks will happen Imagine your power bill going up by $200 a month. Progress Energy spokesman Mike Hughes said Thursday that it’s a possibility under President Barack […]

Alternate title “Something Which I Agree With Obama On” The Obama administration launched investigations of hundreds of businesses around the country Wednesday as part of its strategy to focus immigration enforcement on the employers who hire illegal workers. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has begun notifying businesses of plans to audit their I-9 forms — employment […]

Gotta give the old girl her props: she may be a serious far lefty and virulent Bush hater, but, it seems she has had quite enough of the way the Obama administration handles the press Following a testy exchange during today’s (Wednesday) briefing with White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, veteran White House correspondent Helen […]

Over at the Miami Herald, an opinion piece on what happened in Honduras that Obama, Hillary, the United Nations, and the Organization of American States should read before making pronouncements The greatest tourist attraction in Central America has always been politics. Diplomats stop by every few years, take a couple of snapshots of what’s going […]

Are there any adults at The Atlantic who can put a stop to this? Apparently not, as that is a question that has been asked since Andrew Sullivan started in on the whole “Trig is really Bristol Palin’s daughter, not Sarah’s,” malarky. And it contines on yet again. It’s certainly not as bad as Trithersim, […]

It appears as if the spirit of the 9th and 10th Amendments are alive and kicking in Arizona Voters in Arizona will decide next year whether residents will be subject to mandates in the pending health care reform that President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats are promoting. At least five other states – Indiana, Minnesota, […]

Leave it to the Grey Lady. Not only is she sticking up for Dear Leader, but they manage to blame America Past for what happened last week in Honduras President Obama on Monday strongly condemned the ouster of Honduras’s president as an illegal coup that set a “terrible precedent” for the region, as the country’s […]

The most ethical Congress EVAH! House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) will not give the public a week to review the final text of a health-care reform bill before it is voted on later this year. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) has also declined to commit to giving the public a week to read and […]

With the passage of the massively insane Waxman-Markey cap and tax bill, here are four questions to ask those who support it, particularly the politicians who voted for it and AGW leaders such as Al Gore 1. Did you read the bill before throwing your support behind it? Did you read the 300 page dead […]

Not that the Democrat Congress and the Obama administration hasn’t already broken their pledge to not raise taxes on those making less than $250k a year already (cigarette tax, cap and tax bill, among others), but, we all a saw those of us who were not hypnotized by Obama saw the taxes increases coming, and […]

Who were the losers in the cap and tax bill? Anyone who pays an electric bill would likely feel the impact of climate legislation. Utilities will try to raise rates as they invest in cleaner-yet-more-expensive energy sources. Some have already announced plans to do so. Petroleum companies also may try to import more of their […]

Transparency! Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D- Nev.) will not commit to giving senators and the public a full week to read and review the final version of a health-care reform bill before he holds a final vote on it. Reid confessed at his Thursday news briefing that he did not have “a lot of […]

Time and time again, I and others have pointed out that the whole anthropogenic global warming silliness is not about “saving the planet from mankind,” but about control. People might have believed in it a bit more if the people who pushed it the hardest weren’t the worst CO2 offenders, but, regardless, let’s ask John […]

I couldn’t decide which story to post, so, a double shot of silly government goofiness, starting with Turning The Camera Around: Health Care Stakeholders When 22 senators started working over the first health care overhaul bill on June 17, the news cameras were pointed at them — except for NPR’s photographer, who turned his lens […]

54% of Americans favor smaller government/less services, up 4 percentage points in one year (full poll here). Certainly, the number has been higher, but, will the trend continue as Independents, moderates, and wishy washy fell for hopeNchange Republicans wake up to the Nanny State progressive agenda of the Democrats? Also in the poll, Republicans need […]

OK, I’ll admit, I did not watch, ore really even read, anything during the day Wednesday as ABC News and The White House became one and the same. But, see there were two little problems for Obama and his “I’m not going to do away with private insurance *wink wink*” agenda: Mark Sanford, and ABC […]

I wonder if the letter included Obama’s typical apologies? Prior to this month’s disputed presidential election in Iran, the Obama administration sent a letter to the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling for an improvement in relations, according to interviews and the leader himself. Ayatollah Khamenei confirmed the letter toward the end of a […]

But, don’t say that the Obama administration is not telling Government Motors what to do. Not because that is incorrect, but, just because they don’t want you to say it General Motors Corp will do the “heavy lifting” to help meet the ambitious goal set by President Barack Obama of having one million plug-in hybrid […]

Scary news from Iran (Interestingly, there is a difference between the two page and single page versions.) TEHRAN (Reuters)– Iranian authorities said they would teach an exemplary lesson to “rioters” held in the worst unrest since the birth of the Islamic Rapublic and pressed accusations that violence was being incited by Western powers. (EDITORS’ NOTE: […]

Apparently, President Neophyte is not enjoying the look of things right now. His poll numbers are slipping, John McCain, among others, made a powerful speech on Iran, and it appears as if the election result will be left to standand Ahmadinejad will be reinstalled as the Iranian president. All while Iranians plead for the U.S. […]

Resisting yet another Obama post (this time, the NY Times gently calls him a liar). It’s difficult. Guy gives a constant stream of copy. So, let’s jump into the realm of global warming hysteria, shall we? First up, the Sun, that big ball of nuclear fire that, according to most Climahysterics, can’t possibly have anything […]

Will he answer? Or, is it time for another photo-op trip to get a burger with Joe, frozen custard with the kids, or maybe a round of golf? This is what North Korea had to say regarding the U.S. trailing a Nork ship that could possibly be carrying materials banned by a U.N. resolution passed […]

You know, it’s not so much that Obama is on the wrong side of history, regarding Iran. He’s on no side of history. Even the BBC is getting rather cynical vis a vis Obama’s reticence to become engaged The White House has so far resisted calls to speak out more forcefully in support of Iranian […]
