Union Hack Becker Gets Recess Appointment

President Obama is determined to misuse his office to payoff unions and to that end he has given union goon Craig Becker a recess appointment as the head of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the agency tasked with implementing fair and responsible federal rules to govern labor and employers. The U.S. Chamber of commerce […]

 

A Little Reminder of the Left’s Unhinged Hatred

With all the tales in the Old Media of the supposed violence committed by Tea Partiers going on since Obama’s takeover of our nation’s healthcare system, I thought it might be instructive to recall how hate-filled the unhinged left is in America today. A year ago, the good folks at Zomblog assembled a great series […]

 

Obama Press Sec. Gibbs’ Challenging Reading Material: a Star Wars Pop-Up Book

Descending from Air Force One, Obama Press Secretary Robert Gibbs clutches his latest choice of reading material, the “Star Wars Pop-Up Guide.” The captions write themselves, don’t you think? We know the book was a gift from the president for Gibbs’ son, Ethan, of course. But the photo is just too delicious and the thoughts […]

 


Government Is Not Our Friend

Small-government conservatives have always been suspicious of government. Whether city, county, state or federal all government is looked on as a troublesome but necessary evil that must be tightly controlled and oft times opposed. This anti-government attitude, of course, is a complete mystery to socialist Democrats. They just don’t understand why conservatives mistrust government and […]

 

Fox News Chicago Digging Deeper on Illinois Pension Mess

My friend Lennie Jarratt was featured on Fox News Chicago last night. The subject was the $85 billion dollar deficit that the Illinois finds its public employee pensions confronted with. Fox News reports that every Illinois citizen would have to fork over $6,600 to instantly solve the problem. And what has caused this problem? Unions. […]

 

‘New Hope’ For American Docs: Help Them Move Overseas, Won’t You?

The despair in the field of medicine over Obama’s government takeover of America’s once vibrant healthcare system can be overwhelming for America’s doctors. Many have said that if Obamacare is implemented, they’ll hang up their stethoscope and retire. The gloom is overpowering. But WAIT! Help is on the way. A new effort is underway to […]

 

ACORN’s Tangled Branches

News is all over the country that the often criminal group the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) is dead, folding its tent, kaput. All this is because, as Politico puts it, of a “conservative assault that never prompted any prosecutions.” But let us not get our hopes up that ACORN is defeated. […]

 

New Jersey’s Gov. Taking on Unions

Barbara Hollingsworth of the Washington Examiner has a piece celebrating the efforts of New Jersey’s new Governor Chris Christie in his effort to take on the state’s over indulged public employees unions. Christie has taken on one of the worst budgets in the country and the task ahead of him will be difficult in every […]

 

Liberals Value Good Intentions Above Both Truth and Outcomes

Amusingly enough the Washington Post has a blog called PostPartisan. I say amusing because it is obvious that there is nothing “post” partisan about it if a rant against tea partiers by Jonathan Capehart is any indication. He thinks that Obama was speaking to the tea partiers in his latest healthcare address and so posted […]

 

Obama Supporter’s Racism Cop Out

If you want to see the ignorance of the left, below is a good video to see it in. In it a woman that supports Obamacare makes all sorts of accusations that everyone is a racist in a confrontation at a small protest outside of Illinois Representative Jan Schakowsky’s Chicago-area offices. Another portly woman whines […]

 

Obama Likes Euroweenies So Much He Even Dates Like One

On my Twitter feed, I spotted a post by Patrick Ruffini asking a pertinent question… “What’s up with Barack Obama writing out dates euro-style?” Check out this photo as hosted on the White House website… Notice that the president signed his name and then penned the date as “11 June 2009”? That is the European […]

 

Obamacare is ‘Like Christmas’ for Democrat Voters

WRAL TV of Durham, N.C. has a story today that exemplifies how Democrats win votes in a most un-American way. In the words of one North Carolina resident and Democrat voter, Democrats are “like Christmas” because with Democrats in office no one has to pay any of their bills. WRAL had a news story on […]

 

Cato Study: Unions Violate Freedom

The Cato Institute has issued its latest Tax and Budget bulletin, this one centered on public-sector unions. The essence of the report is that public employee unions violate freedom, make government more expensive and inefficient, and the incestuous relationship between unions and politicians takes away power from the voters. While labor unions do play a […]

 

This Just In, Liberals Are Murderers

-By Warner Todd Huston What is it that the extremists of the anti-war left, liberals, and Democrats say about the U.S. practice of capturing and detaining terror suspects? Don’t they say that it is wrong and evil? To that end, the left has through constant abuse of our own legal system made it practically untenable […]

 

Trials for bin Laden? Why?

There has never been a trial of a fallen national leader that would stand up to the scrutiny of good criminal law. They have always been politically motivated, full of passion, and short on legal niceties or any observation of technical precision. Because of this, should the United States capture Usamma bin Laden, she should […]

 

Obama Forcing Gov’t Costs to Rise With Union Sop

Here we are in an economic downturn and Barack Obama is forcing government costs to rise. The Detroit News has noticed it, too, with a recent editorial on Obama’s absurd “responsible contractor” rule on vendors that contract with the federal government. This new rule would force all vendors that contract with the government to exist […]

 


Some Interesting Healthcare Tweets

Of course, nothing could be better than the Tweet I saw from Sky_Bluez: “Stupid is as Stupak does.” That about sums up the whole day so far. But here are a few others from various folks on my Twitter feed that are worth noting… buelldawg said: “Tea Party protesters who gathered on the Capitol lawn […]

 

Lord of the Rings Updated for 2010, The Dark Lord ACORN Lives

The last book of the famous Lord of the Rings Trilogy is ripe for some updating, so here’s a proposal to that end. The Dark Lord Sauron is a perfect evil villain, of course. He’s shadowy, unseen, hard to grasp, but pervasive and the personification of oppression and evil. But his name needs to be […]

 

Democrats Don’t Care About ‘Health,’ It’s All About Politics

Robert Creamer of the HuffyPost penned a very revealing piece that proves that Democrats simply don’t care at all about anyone’s “health,” but that this whole fiasco is solely about political “wins” and power. If someone happens to get a little healthcare out of the thing, that is purely incidental to the actual purpose of […]

 


VP Biden Says Obama Plans to ‘Control Insurance Companies’

The indispensable Jake Tapper of ABC News took an interview with Vice President Joe “Foot in Mouth” Biden that contains a nugget of information that tends to prove that Barack Obama intends to destroy America’s insurance industry and place it under the full control of the federal government. Tapper asked VP Biden what he’d been […]

 

Obama Set to Create More Joe Stacks

The Republican members of the House Ways and Means committee today alerted the country to the appalling fact that Obama and his Democrat cohorts will be creating 17,000 new IRS agents with the President’s signing of Obamacare. With animosity against the Internal Revenue Service growing, it seems clear that Obama is creating more Joe Stack […]

 

California’s Brown Tells Unions to ‘Attack’ His GOP Opponent

You couldn’t get any better proof that unions are little else but hatchet men for the Democrat Party than Jerry Brown’s recent visit to a labor group meeting in California this week. At a meeting of the Laborers’ International Union of North America in Sacramento, Brown gave marching orders to the unions in his race […]

NPR: ‘Patriots’ Are Dangerous to Our Government

Public supported National Public Radio (NPR) posted a report on March 17 during its “All Things Considered” radio show that warns its listeners that “patriot groups” are dangerous and are apparently increasingly prone to attacking government officials and facilities. Oddly the two examples it uses to prove its case have no ties whatsoever to any […]

 

When Indians Are Better Cowboys Than the Cowboys

Last week an article appeared in the Wall Street Journal that gave me pause even as it evoked outrage. It proved that the India has more backbone than America does where it concerns portraying Islamic terror in films. The article was penned by Arun Venugopal. The writer is a young Indian-born, American-raised reporter who has […]

 

More of Obama’s ‘Transparency’ Lies

Remember how Obama stomped across the country between 2004 and 2009 saying that the Bush administration was the “most secretive administration ever”? Remember how he assured us that if HE won the presidency he’d have the most “transparent” administration ever? He lied. About both point. As Andrew Malcolm of the L.A. Times notes, Obama has […]

 

The Left Turning Western Civilization into Alice’s Wonderland

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see”– Alice of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland Clearly the left are Aliceites. They are […]
