A Telling Quote on Slavery Reparations

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If you want to know what the ultimate goal is of those that want reparations for the American slave trade, you have to look no farther than a telling quote that appeared in the Memphis Commercial Appeal on September 25. For slavery reparation advocates, the ultimate desire is not contrition, no apology will do, no […]

 

Federal Recovery Tracking Website Hides $$ to ACORN

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We are discovering that Obama’s promised transparency only goes so far in reporting where stimulus money ends up going. The new tracking website, Recovery.gov, is supposed to let us all know where the federal “stimulus” money is going but apparently will not track money that goes to groups like the Association for Community Organizations for […]

 

The Curious Case of Linda McMahon

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We seem to have a trio of sudden Republicans in the news these days. I say sudden because there is a lack of any long history on the part of these three candidates of being Republicans for very long before running for office. In fact, it seems that all three only became Republicans once they […]

 

NBC’s Gregory Assumes Liberal Argument for Healthcare, Raises ‘Right Wing Conspiracy’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In a Meet the Press interview with Bill Clinton on September 27, NBC’s David Gregory seemed to assume as accepted fact that the only way to fix healthcare was for Americans to “pay higher taxes.” He also asked the former chief executive if the “vast right wing conspiracy” that his wife bemoaned in 1998 was […]

 

Is The NRSC Jumping the Gun in California?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Rasmussen polling group has recently reported its findings on the upcoming California Senate race and the results seem to say that the National Republican Senate Committee has jumped the gun by endorsing a candidate so early in the race.

Unions Threatened by New House Healthcare Provision?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Democrat leadership of the House of Representatives now wants to pay for H.R.3200 — the House healthcare bill — by charging a tax on the so-called Cadillac healthcare plans. This surtax is something that has been talked about in the Senate and forms an integral part of the Baucus bill, but this is the […]

 

What’s the Difference Between a Conservative and a Liberal?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

People often wonder what is the difference between a conservative and a liberal. The simple fact of the matter is that the major difference is that conservatives wonder first what it is they are responsible for while liberals wonder first what everyone else should be doing for them. Here are some brief rules of thumb: […]

 

Capital Hill Switchboard Illegally Being Used to Push Obamacare? (Question Solved)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

**UPDATE** NUMBER IDENTIFIED** I have finally tracked down what this number is. Apparently it is a left-wing group that uses this 1-800 number as a re-direct to the Capitol Hill switchboard. You call the number, hear the message, and then it re-directs you to the real switchboard. The message is not being hosted on the […]

 

2009 Cook County GOP Convention

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

What are we going to do to clean up Obama’s corrupt Chicago Democrats? The Cook County GOP has some ideas… I just got back from attending the Saturday session of the Cook County Republican Party Convention (and before you ask, yes, there IS a Cook County Republican Party). It appeared that about 1,000 participants had […]

**Update** below from children’s book author Charisse Carney-Nunes As school kids in New Jersey are being indoctrinated to think that Barack Hussein Obama is a suitable replacement for Jesus of Nazareth, the extremist leftist website FireDogLake rose to defend the propaganda.

I was part of a small number of bloggers and Internet writers invited to speak with Representative Joe Wilson (R, SC) Friday afternoon. Rep.

Canadian Police Use Gun Registry to Confiscate Guns

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If this isn’t the perfect evidence of why any freedom loving western citizen should be against gun registries, then you can’t make the case at all. Over the last few weeks the police in Toronto, Canada have been stormtrooping through the homes of average, everyday Torontonians that have had the misfortune to have appeared on […]

 

Michigan Authorities Attack Woman for Babysitting Neighbor Kids

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

You read that headline right. A woman who was watching her neighbor’s kids each school morning for 40 minutes before the bus came is being accused of being a criminal by the State of Michigan. It takes a village, right? Remember when you were a kid and the next door neighbor looked after you for […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It has been estimated that employer mandates forced on businesses by H.R. 3200 and the other legislation barreling through Congress will cost America’s businesses $49 billion a year if passed. According to the Heritage Foundation the mandates in the bills now under consideration will force employers to buy healthcare insurance for their employees or pay […]

 

I Agree: Birth Control COULD Save the Planet

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This may shock many of my conservative fans, but I cannot remain quiet about my support for the singularly brilliant idea that Obama’s so-called science czar offered in the 1975 college textbook Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment. Birth control, it was theorized, could save the planet. I have to say that I wholeheartedly agree. In 1975, […]

 

Union Rules: Teachers Paid Not to Teach

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Here is yet another story where union members undergoing disciplinary procedures can sometimes spend years being paid their full salary to sit home and watch TV, doing nothing, working not a minute of their day. In this case it is costing a local school system at least $2.25 million to pay teachers that aren’t teaching. […]

 

Obama is ‘Concerned’ About Blogosphere

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Hill is reporting that Obama is now “open” to a newspaper bailout. Well, welcome to the state run media. Not long ago Senator Ben Cardin (D- Md.) introduced S. 673, the Newspaper Revitalization Act. It is supposed to give news media tax breaks if they restructure as a non-profit corporation. So far, though, the […]

Bill Zettler recently submitted a Freedom of Information request on the pensions of 13 retiring public school employees from District 211 in Palatine, Illinois and he found that the people of Illinois are on the hook for over $50 million in pension benefits promised to people retiring at the average age of 58.

Is it American to be Forced Into a Union? In Obama’s America it is!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Welcome to Obama’s America where you are forced to become a union member even if you had no idea you were being inducted into one. In fact, in Obama’s America you won’t even know you are IN a union until you notice union dues are being withheld from your checks. This is the case in […]

 

Mandates Must be Unconstitutional

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Imagine a day when a president could tell you that you have to buy something or become a criminal via federal law if you don’t. Imagine a day when you are not allowed to choose not to buy a certain product. In a land of true freedom and liberty worrying about the arrival of such […]

 

Ill. GOP Central Committee Meeting Report

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Note: I realize that this is sort of narrow, but I attended the Illinois GOP Central Committee meeting today and I thought some of you might be somewhat interested to see what is going on in Obama’s home state on the Republican front.

Brit Hasn’t a Clue About U.S. Politics

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Many elitist American leftists like to go about claiming that it is only Americans that are dunces on foreign matters. There is some truth to the accusation that Americans are not knowledgeable about the rest of the world but if a column in the UK Telegraph is any indication it isn’t much better for Britain’s […]

 

Poizner Signs Anti-Tax Pledge Despite History of Supporting Tax Hikes

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

SoCal radio wags John and Ken got California GOP gubernatorial candidate Steve Poizner to sign a no tax pledge this week. This is momentous news, indeed, since Poizner, the current State Insurance Commissioner and putative GOP frontrunner, has a long, long history of supporting massive property tax hikes that he has yet to directly disavow. […]

 

Obama’s Website Quietly Drops Support of Public Option

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It looks like President Obama’s campaign site cum community organizing website, Organizing for America (OFA), has quietly dropped its claim that the “public option” is a “must” in its healthcare policies open letter to Congress. Originally the open letter told Congress that it “must” vote for the public option. The second bullet point in the […]

 

Health Insurance is Not Like Auto Insurance

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

During his healthcare speech last week, President Obama tried to compare his idea of compulsory health insurance to the practice of mandatory auto insurance now in effect in most of the States of the Union. But as a recent Fox News piece by Judson Berger proves, car insurance is nothing like forced healthcare insurance. The […]

 

Do YOU Believe in the Constitution?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Sam Adams Alliance, a conservative, free market think tank out of Chicago (right in the belly of the liberal beast) has launched a new site today called “I Believe in the Constitution” as a great way to celebrate Constitution day. So, if YOU believe in the greatest governing document ever conceived by the mind […]

Senators Stand By Prostitution, Tax Cheat Hiding ACORN

Democratic Illinois Senators Durbin and Burris both voted to stand behind ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) in a Senate vote to defund the criminal organization this week.

CNN’s Poll Vaulting

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A short report on CNN’s Political Ticker is interesting for what it doesn’t mention in the story as well as its admittedly misleading trumpeted headline that Obama got “double-digit post-speech jump” after his Sept, 9 healthcare speech to a joint session of Congress. First the headline: “CNN Poll: Double-digit post-speech jump for Obama plan.” Reading […]
