Two Americas: One Struggling, One Happy, Unionized, and in Government

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I know I’ve said it before, but unionism is antithetical to good government. It is impossible to have both unions and effective government in a democratic republic such as ours. Unions destroy good government, waste money at all levels and they move strictly against the best interests of the voters in all cases. Once again […]

 

DeMint Decries Union Obstruction in TSA

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Democrats are trying to paint the GOP as “obstructionists” for blocking the appointment of Obama’s choice of Erroll Southers to head up the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Democrats are claiming that by blocking the closure of debate on Southers the GOP is trying to obstruct “tighter security at airports.” But there is an ulterior […]

 

Chgo Sun-Times Says Healthcare is a Right

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It has come to this. A newspaper in one of America’s biggest cities has so sold out to extremists, left-wing ideology that it has throw logic, facts, and reality to the four winds in order to sell Obama’s socialist healthcare policies. In a recent editorial the Chicago Sun-Times has absurdly determined that healthcare is a […]

 

Where Are You Frum, Anyway?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Canadian David Frum is like the cross-eyed marksman, he can see the target but just can’t ever hit it. The self-styled conservative has been the Old Media’s leading conservative in attacking, well, other conservatives. Naturally his Dec. 25 piece on theweek.com is no exception. Not only does he attack other conservatives, as is his wont, […]

 

Tea Parties: The Biggest Mistake We’ll Make in 2010

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It’s the end of 2009, the “aughts” are over, and we are about to embark on a new year — and what else are they but the “aughts”? Well, besides mostly a horrible and thankfully passed decade. In any case, we are at the end of the year and that means two things: lists about […]

 

No Church on Christmas, Mr. President? Of Course Not, Communists Don’t Do Church

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Time Magazine reported that President Obama and his family didn’t attend a church service this Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. He is, to my knowledge, the first president to skip a Christmas Eve service for a long, long time. But, while it is interesting to note that Obama is quite unchurched in a position where […]

Percy Sutton, long-time Borough President of Manhattan passed away this week at 89. Sutton is famous for being Malcolm X’s lawyer and a powerful New York politician but he was also a member of the famed Tuskegee Airmen, a radio pioneer, and a civil rights activist. There is one more little thing that Sutton is […]

 

Apparently, Being Dem Means Not Having to Pay Rent

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Long time Democratic Chicago Pol Monique Davis hasn’t paid the rent for her offices since 2002. Apparently it doesn’t matter either. After all, she’s a Chicago Democrat and the rules real people have to live by don’t apply to a Chicago Democrat. And like a true Democrat Davis is blaming everyone else. It isn’t her […]

 

Old Media Whines That Palin is Mean to Them

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Get the pity party violin music warmed up because Ezra Klein and Dave Weigel are whining that Sarah Palin has forced them, the press, into a “submissive role” because she is so mean to them. Klein favorably cites the analysis of Weigel who whined that the “Palin problem” has “put the press in a submissive […]

 

Chgo. Mayor Daley’s Bro Pleads for Dems to Return to Center

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Chicago Mayor Richard Daley’s brother, William, is warning the Democratic Party that it is going too far left and will end up “in the wilderness” in 2010. William Daley has been a longtime political operative that has been connected with the Clintons for many years but that doesn’t make him an extremist lefty, apparently… at […]

 

ACLUs War on Christmas on Hold Due to Economy

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Peter Hannaford of the American Spectator reports that the ACLU has suddenly found some tight budgeting times with the announcement that one of its long time patrons said he couldn’t donate the tall cash he usually donates because of his own harsh economic realities. Apparently the ACLU sent out a letter that told its followers […]

 

Union Blocks Red Cross Blood Donation

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In their greedy desire to steal even more money from employers one union has even gone so far as to block Red Cross blood donations from getting to a hospital as well as picketing blood drives from private companies. In other words, these union thugs have put money and their quest for power above the […]

 

New Ad: Lefty Group Calls Obama a Liar

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A lefty Political Action Committee called Bold Progressives PAC is fed up with the political lies of … President Obama. They are chiefly upset at his lie that he never campaigned on the public option part of his socialist healthcare plan. Being good commies, Bold Progressives are a bit ticked off that Obama took a […]

 

Cuz Animals Are People Too, Ya Know?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I’ve always been amazed at liberals when it comes to their absurd penchant for acting as if animals are somehow just like people. This anthropomorphizing of the animal kingdom is fine if you are talking with kids, reading fairy tales, or creating entertainment, but when you are talking like adults about science or generally about […]

 

Surprise: Obama Springs to Action With Federal Cash for Alabama

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Tropical Storm Ida happened well over a month ago, almost two now. But regardless, the great father in Washington has generously opened up the federal purse to help those struggling folks that lost so much to that storm. The devastation was so bad that USA Today said of the storm, “Tropical Storm Ida slogged ashore […]

 

The Fire ‘Em All Approach to Voting is Just Silly

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Many good, honest conservatives want to fire all of Congress. One of the latest efforts is a website called goooh.com (as in GetOutOfOurHouse.com). Believe me, I understand the feeling. Congress has miserably failed to satisfy the voters. They’ve been arrogant, they’ve spent more time accumulating personal wealth than legislating, they’ve casually ignored the entirety of […]

 

Kwanzaa Created by a Rapist and Torturer?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Every year I post a pre-Christmas piece on the farce that is Kwanzaa. This year will be no exception. Note, some of the newspaper articles I quote are several years old so some may no longer be online. Each year, with the onset of Christmas, we are treated to another gauzy, fluff piece about how […]

 

Professor: Say, Let’s Pardon a Domestic Terrorist

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

CUNY Graduate Center professor David S. Reynolds has an idea. He wants to pardon an American criminal that is a known murderer and fanatic and who led a life that was steadily radicalized by an extreme religious ideology. This domestic terrorist even went so far as to attempt to start a war inside the USA […]

 

Do you Believe in Santa, the Tooth Fairy, and the Stimulus?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Christmas for adults is never quite the same as Christmas for the under 12-year-old set. Not that it’s all bad if you are an adult, it’s just that it takes a different form for adults. For kids it’s all about the magic of Santa Claus. When you believe it all seems so wondrous. This blindly, […]

 

Cokie Roberts Proves She is a Liar

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I am finding it increasingly impossible to discuss current politics without pointing out that Democrats and liberals are simply a pack of liars and “journalist” Cokie Roberts fits quite neatly into this category for what she said about the healthcare debate on ABC’s This Week Sunday morning talk show. As Brent Baker of Newsbusters reported […]

 

Why This Conservative Wants To Be Like Al Gore

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I have to admit it. I am jealous of former Vice President Al Gore. I want what he’s got, at least in a generalized way. It isn’t that I envy him for having been vice president. The number two spot has traditionally been one not well regarded and only a few VPs have made the […]

 

One Again Teachers Union Shows Kids Don’t Matter

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston A recalcitrant teachers union in Florida once again shows that reform for the sake of the kids doesn’t interest it. A federal program called Race to the Top bestows federal money on any district that institutes merit pay and reforms its schools. Guess who hates the idea. Yep, you guessed it: […]

 

Here’s A Deal With Cuba I Endorse

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

There hasn’t been much news about it in the U.S. but an American citizen has been arrested by Cuban authorities and has been placed in one of Cuba’s most secure facilities. Cuba has yet to announce what charges they are leveling against the man but he was arrested after he gave out laptop computers, cellphones […]

 

Govt Healthcare Will Give us ALL Pay Cuts

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Big Labor has, for the most part, fallen all over itself to help its patron President get his Obamacare policies passed in Congress spending millions to do so. If Obamacare should pass many millions will lose their healthcare and will be forced into government healthcare. According to the CBO at least 10 million will lose […]

 

Feckless Ill. GOP Questions Use of Party Funds

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For those wondering why the Illinois Republican Party can’t seem to bet Democrats, even criminal Democrats, here is one reason… I meant to mention this story yesterday and didn’t get to it. I guess the reason why I wasn’t so all fired up to highlight it is that it all seemed as no surprise, it […]

 

Rep. Brian Billbray: Rep. Gutierrez is Creating the Next Wave of Illegal Immigration

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Representative Luis Gutierrez (D, IL) will introduce another stab at “comprehensive immigration reform” this month and it’s been given another one of those Orwellian names that you know means the opposite of what it says in the title. Gutierrez is calling this mess the Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America’s Security and Prosperity Act of 2009, […]

 

Cops Insist on Getting Paid for Dressing Themselves

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Here is another reason why unions need to be destroyed… Do you think your boss should pay you for getting dressed in the morning or for taking off your day’s clothes to climb into your snuggly Pjs each night? No reasonable, sane person would. But unions are neither reasonable, sane, nor apparently interested in what’s […]

 

Would Chicago Gun Rights Case Destroy Federalism?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For the Family Research Council, Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski warned in a Washington Times op ed that a case on gun rights that will soon come before the Supreme Court could “trigger the unhinging of American culture.” Not only do I think the pair went too far in their claim, I also think they […]

California Insurance Commissioner and candidate for the GOP nomination for Governor, Steve Poizner, has announced that he’ll donate another $15 million of his own fortune to float his flagging Gubernatorial campaign making himself his biggest contributor.

A Message to Senators Landrieu and Reid form the Louisiana Tea Partiers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This past Saturday, hundreds of people gathered in the pouring rain in New Orleans, Louisiana, to tell Senator Harry Reid (D, Nev.) and Senator Mary Landrieu (D, Loius.). As you may know, Senator Reid was supposed to attend a fundraiser in New Orleans, but canceled his plans to attend when he started taking heat for […]
