Over at The New Republic, a post by Jonathan Chaite entitled “Will the Conservatives Please Attempt An Argument? ” President Obama has taken a cautious tone toward the demonstrators in Iran, with his stated reason being that more open support would discredit their cause. This strikes me as a sensible position. The revealed preferences of […]

It’s actually become rather routine President Obama’s choice as chief of protocol for the State Department, a position that carries the status of an ambassadorship, did not file tax returns for 2005 and 2006, errors she corrected last November. Surprising, eh? As a sidebar, remember who the NY Times mostly referred to GWB as “Mr. […]

Have y’all seen this video yet? From the Chicago Tribune There’s plenty of room for “yes men” in the nation’s capital. Less for “yes, Ma’am.” Sen. Barbara Boxer’s suggestion to a general that she’d really rather be called “senator” has raised a few hackles here. “Could you say ‘senator’ instead of ‘ma’am?’ ” Boxer (D-Calif.) […]

There are times to be concerned about the ultra-progressive agenda of Obama and the Donkeys, and times to take a chill pill. I do believe that, in this case, Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.) has gone a bit overboard. Not quite in Dennis Kucinich’s league, and she certainly hasn’t compared our troops to Nazi’s, Pol Pot’s troops, […]

More wacko-ness from PETA. On the bright side, at least we find out he is not a god or something Well, I guess it can’t be said that President Obama wouldn’t hurt a fly. The commander in chief was recently pestered by a fly during an interview. He swatted at the insect and killed the […]

Now, Mousavi is not really for as much openness and reform as people may think, and certainly not on the international front, but, at this point, he may be opening a can of worms that could force major changes in Iran Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi has called for a mass rally to protest […]

The Congressional Budget Office came out with their assessment of ObamaCare Tuesday, and, it is not pretty “How are we going to pay for that, Mr. President?” Sen. John McCain has asked. That one question – how the nation really pays for health reform – just got a shocking wake up call. The Congressional Budget […]

Nothing like starting your Tuesday with some doom and gloom from Climahysterics, eh? The impact of a changing climate is already being felt across the United States, like shifting migration patterns of butterflies in the West and heavier downpours in the Midwest and East, according to a government study to be released on Tuesday. I […]

Yes, finally, President Obama commented on what is going on in Iran, but, lest you think this was scripted, some sort of announcement as so many Obama shills seeming to be saying, um, no. From the White House blog, we find that he commented on Iran because he was asked a question from someone in […]

What’s happening on the road to nationalized health care? The American Medical Association has long battled Democrats who oppose protecting doctors from malpractice lawsuits. But during a private meeting at the White House last month, association officials said, they found one Democrat willing to entertain the idea: President Obama. In closed-door talks, Mr. Obama has […]

Don’t forget, wear green today in support of the protesters in Iran Supporters had been due to turn out en masse in Tehran on Monday afternoon, despite government warnings to stay off the streets. But this morning, a statement on Mr Mousavi’s campaign website announced that the demonstration had been postponed – although it said […]

More: Via Dr. Melissa Couthier’s Twitter, Don Surber catches how the ACLU celebrates Flag Day To celebrate, the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio is raising a fuss over a law that would allow teachers — not school boards — to decide whether to lead students in the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. Read […]

When ideology trumps compassion President Barack Obama outlined another $313 billion in cuts to government health care spending over 10 years, largely impacting hospitals, as he hunts additional dollars to pay for expanded coverage for the uninsured. Some major health industry groups swiftly criticized the proposal in one of the clearest signs yet that the […]

First of all It is impossible to know for sure how much the ostensible re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad represents the preference of an essentially conservative Iranian public and how much, as opposition voters passionately believe, it is the imposed verdict of a fundamentally authoritarian regime. Witnesses reported that at least one person had been shot […]

What happens when you mix socialized medicine with AGW idiocy? The Lower Mainland’s health authorities will have to dig more than $4 million a year out of their already stretched budgets to pay B.C.’s carbon tax and offset their carbon footprints. Critics say the payments mean the government’s strategy to fight climate change will further […]

Yet another case where Obama’s promise not to raise taxes on people making less then $250k, or whatever the level that Joe Biden gaffe’d on is, could soon be broken? Sort of (more on that later) The use of company-issued mobile phones could trigger new federal income taxes on millions of Americans as a “fringe […]

Back on Wednesday, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced the launch of a campaign to support free enterprise, being heavily concerned with what the Obama administration and the Democrats, but, mostly the Obama administration, is doing to the free enterprise system. It, unsurprisingly, what with the Compliant Obama Media and all, got very little press […]

Other then grasshoppers, is there anyone who really wants the government providing health insurance? As the health care debate heats up, the American Medical Association is letting Congress know that it will oppose creation of a government-sponsored insurance plan, which President Obama and many other Democrats see as an essential element of legislation to remake […]

How many people have read the book F.I.S.H.? If you haven’t, and you work in an office, a retail store, with lots of people, you really should, whether you are a supervisor or at the bottom of the food chain. Make your boss read it. Live it. Love it. It creates the atmosphere which sales […]

Of course, everyone remembers how the media ran with a silly comment from actress Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live, vis a vis “I can see Russia from my house!” It was goofy and light hearted, but, somehow, that almost became reality, as if Palin herself actually said it. Turn the page. Now we have […]

Long have I maintained that the majority of the anthropogenic global warming craze is like some sort of political pet rock love. Let’s compare and contrast statements, shall we? The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is widely regarded in the media as the ultimate authority on climate change. Created by two divisions of the […]

As the country continues to hemorrhage jobs, President Obama, leader of the Party who whined incessantly for 8 years that George Bush would never admit when he was wrong, refuses to admit he was wrong, and, instead, presses the reset button on the Generation Theft Act President Barack Obama assured the nation his recovery plan […]

Jane “Lieberman-In-Black-Face” Hamsher, web mistress of Firedoglake, gives us the news According to sources on the Hill, the Lieberman-Graham detainee photo suppression amendment is out of the conference report of the supplemental. For everyone who made phone calls — pat yourself on the back. Yes, liberals/progressives/surrender monkeys, pat yourself on the back. Do it every […]

Does Pelosi have a huge set or is she just lost in a fog of delusional left wing feelings? She has penned a little missive in the San Francisco Chronicle: Climate change game-changer for China relations Climate change is an economic issue, a national security issue, an environmental health issue and a moral issue. It […]

So, what word applies? Socialist? Nationalist? Marxist? Fascist? They all include doctrine where the government is heavily involved in the private sector, sometimes mandating heavily, sometimes taking over, sometimes competing. In this case, Neophytis Obamis pulls out his lyre and tells Congress and the country to dance to his tune President Barack Obama reaffirmed his […]

Well well well. The Obama health care plan is out, and Patients United Now has a copy, which, according to Ed Morrissey, is broken up into 9 parts. He wants folks to dig out some juicy gems after he found this one on p39-40 (1) IN GENERAL – A State shall keep an accurate accounting […]

No, seriously. That was the headline at Talking Points Memothe other day, before someone went “woops, maybe we should hide our real views” and deleted the post, which I hadn’t gotten around to posting, but had sitting around under my bookmarks as a potential. Fortunately, Climate Depot has a copy of what The Insolent Braggart […]

I’ve been thinking long and hard this morning on whether or not I would blog the following story, as it is one that can seriously inflame passions on the abortion subject. In the end, I felt that it was worth it. Broken windows into abortion doctor’s life At the Boulder Abortion Clinic, Dr. Warren Hern […]

Looks like when it comes to reading books, Bush is the Master, and Obama is the Padawan. Bush=Captain, Obama=deckhand It appears President Obama has to step up his reading pace if he wants to beat his predecessor in one particular measure: how many books a president can polish off a year. In an interview with […]

Remember the statement President Apology Tour gave within hours after uber abortion doctor George Tiller was murdered (and yes, murdered, and Roeder should be tried on capital murder charges)? I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr. George Tiller as he attended church services this morning. However profound our differences as Americans over […]
