Democrats Using “Climate Change” As Wedge Issue Or Something

Posted on by William Teach

I hope they do use it for the 2014 elections: pushing “climate change” rules and laws hasn’t worked out so well for politicians around the world as of late (see what happened to Australia’s Labor Party).

Bummer: Elected Office Seniority Not The Boon It Once Was

Posted on by William Teach

Good! (The Hill) Seniority was once valued in politics, but this year, incumbents are having trouble convincing voters that politicians get better with age.

Illegals Now Being Dropped Off Via Jet Skis

Posted on by William Teach

Mr. Obama can talked about there being more deportations than ever, but that notion has now gone out the window.

Posted on by William Teach

Poor guy. Constantly having the pressure of having to do hard work in the job he campaigned for. Twice.

Man Takes Long Fossil Fueled Flight, Lots Of FF Vehicles To Complain About “Climate Change”

Posted on by William Teach

I noted yesterday that (NMP) Obama was going to mention “climate change” during his UC Irvine commencement speech. I probably should have anticipated that he would go off the reservation and go hyper-partisan on the issue, attacking, denigrating, and insulting Skeptics. Because that’s what he constantly does, regardless of the issue. Basically, he’s an asshole […]

 

Anti-2nd Amendment Op-Ed: Why Aren’t We Doing Something About Gun Violence?

Posted on by William Teach

A bit of insensitivity to start this Saturday morning, since the op-ed writers, Mark Barden and David Wheeler, both lost their sons to the Sandy Hook nutjob. Yet, if they are going to jump into the political realm in order to call for restrictions on our Constitutional Rights, and use Father’s Day as an excuse, […]

Good News: Obama’s Extremist EPA Attempting To Change Rules On Navigable Waters

Posted on by William Teach

The Environmental Protection Agency was a great idea when it was signed into law by Richard Nixon. Protecting the environment. Who couldn’t be against an agency that does that? Over the years, though, they’ve been invaded by extremist enviro-wackos, and I’m not sure that we can even call it “mission creep” at this point. More […]

Attorney General Holder Has Hissy Fit Towards Boy Scouts

Posted on by William Teach

Apparently, Eric Holder has nothing else to do other than insult private citizens and their organization. You’d think he’d be too busy redacting all the documents House panels want.

White House: Some Soldiers Can Be Left Behind

Posted on by William Teach

In relation to Bowe Bergdahl, Obama has said many times since the swap “We don’t leave men and women in uniform behind”, or something to that tune.

NY Times: Bergdahl Desertion Really Fault Of Unit Discipline, Afghanistan War
