Are You a Conservative? Welcome to the Majority!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

There has been a lot of lament by the far left in America that the Tea Party has somehow driven the Republican Party to conservative extremes. This, however, is untrue. The truth is, the American public has been trending toward conservative views for more than a decade before the Tea Party even came about. According […]

 

Obama Chic: Now Selling Campaign Gear for the One Percent

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama? Why, he’s the middle class warrior, isn’t he? He’s the veritable man of the people, darn it. He has beer summits and he chows down on burgers and fries just like us reg’lar folks. Gone are the arugula days, the million-dollar vacations and secret Hollywood star-studded Halloween parties…. one out of three ain’t bad, […]

 

Obama Excuses Over 500,000 Union Members From Obamacare

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remember back in the days of the debate over Obamacare when unions were the biggest voices screaming in support of the legislation?

Illinois GOP Follies: Establishment vs Reform in Champagne County

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Illinois is drowning in debt and corruption. The state ranks as the worst state in nearly every category vying only with California for the worst-of rankings.

The Most Superficial Political Analysis Ever: The Candidates Ranked by Their T-Shirt Designs

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For months, now, we have all been involved up to our ears in policy debates, discussions of the candidate’s records, and general mud slinging in this Republican primary season. There’s more to come, too. So, let’s take time out to be completely shallow, shall we? Let’s judge the six remaining candidates by the most substantive […]

 

NPR: Again Falsely Blaming Giffords’ Shooting on Uncivil Political Rhetoric

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I suppose we couldn’t get past the one-year anniversary of the crime against Democrat Representative Gabrielle Giffords without some Old Media outlet blaming the supposed “heated” political rhetoric of the day for her shooting. On Sunday we saw NPR doing just that. The fact is, no matter how many times they say it, politics and […]

Obama’s Electronic Medical Records Requirements Already Causing Job Loss

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

While the Old Media has been ecstatic over recent job numbers, claiming that some 200,000 jobs have been added to the economy, we should note that while Obama giveth Obama also taketh away. The media may be trying to claim the President has “created or saved” jobs (the latest weasel word is he’s created job […]

 

Another Win for Illinois: Now Worst Debtor State

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On the same day that it was reported that the checks sent to Illinois lottery winners had bounced, another more serious announcement was made. Moody’s investment service had cut the state’s credit rating from A1 to A2 making the Land of Lincoln the worst state in the union… again. Now Illinois has the lowest credit […]

 

No, Daily Caller, Rush Will Not Back a Candidate in the Primary

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Daily Caller posted an Op Ed calling on Rush Limbaugh to save the GOP by offering a clinching endorsement of one of the non-Romney candidates. The writer was full of reasons and praise for the most listened-to radio talker, but for all the importuning, Rush will never back a primary candidate. The truth is, […]

Dear Voters, Vote For Romney, You Idiots. Love, the Establishment GOP

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently, Mitt Romney and his surrogates want you to know that you should not vote your conscience or your principles this primary election. You should vote for Mitt Romney, instead. That is the message from Romney surrogate State Senator Gary Lambert in New Hampshire, anyway. “This is not about picking your favorite, it’s not about […]

 

Reality TV Tax Hikes? ABC Pushes a Kim Kardashian Tax

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Here’s a new way to try and hip-up the boring, ages-old, left-wing idea of tax hikes: link it to reality TV star Kim Kardashian. That is just what ABC News tried to do on the Wednesday, January 4 edition of ABC World News Tonight when the venerable news program helped advertise an effort by a […]

 

Hmmmm, Typo Hypothesis Claims Santorum Actually Won in Iowa?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Did Mitt Romney accidentally get 20 extra votes because of a typo made in Appanoose County? Ed True, a 28-year-old caucus goer in the town of Moulton, Iowa, says that he was at the caucus and on his notes Romney only got two votes in his precinct. Yet when he checked reported totals later it […]

 

Santorum/Romney/Paul: So What Did Iowa Prove?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The 2012 Iowa Caucuses are now over and in a nail biting ending the two highest vote getters were separated by only eight votes. So, what did this caucus prove? It proved that organization matters, personal contact matters, and finally big money spent on TV might not matter as much. The biggest news was that […]

 

The Essential Lies Underneath Occupy Wall Street

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston The folks at Fox News made a fantastic video that helps elucidate the lies floated about how wonderful, how pro-America, and how peaceable the Occupy Wall Street “movement” has been. It is important to watch this video for the truth. The whole nonsense that OWS is a “peaceful movement” is the […]

 

Israel Killed Fewer Civilians in Military Operations Than Others, Including the US

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The last decade or so we’ve assigned a euphemism to the deaths of civilians in military operations; we’ve called it “collateral damage.” The fact is, though, that deaths of bystanders — purportedly innocent — are almost unavoidable in war operations. After all, war usually entails the indiscriminate firing of automatic weapons or the dropping of […]

 

How Ron Paul Might Win Iowa and STILL Get No Hawkeye Delegates

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

My friend Michael Bates has raised some interesting — if technical — points. He notes that Ron Paul could very will win Iowa but still come away with few or even no Iowa delegates. After looking over Bates’ points, I think he has it right. But one thing he said is really trenchant when he […]

 

Wash. Post Plays Hate-The-Rich-Republicans With Graphic Chart

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Mitt Romney: My Mass. Healthcare Plan Is ‘Fundamentally Conservative’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Romney did it again. On Fox News he linked Romneycare to conservative principles, an outrageous act in the eyes of any conservative. But hold the boat, people, because Romney didn’t exactly say that Romneycare itself is a conservative policy. And therein lies the weasel words that Romney has used to describe the Massachusetts healthcare plan […]

 

Politico’s Top 10 Political Blunders: Mostly GOP Blunders?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Top ten lists at year’s end are always subjective, to be sure. But some lists seem rather obviously out of whack at first glance. Politico’s “Top 10 political blunders of 2011” is one of those lists that is glaring for what isn’t present as opposed to what is. And what isn’t seems to bespeak that […]

 

From a TV Show to A Fight for Campus Free Speech

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This video, which features an interview with legendary author Neil Gaiman (famed science fiction, fantasy and comic book writer), is a lighthearted look at how the University of Wisconsin-Stout ended up being forced to back down from its oppression of the free speech of one of its professors.

Radical Islamic Nut Killed by Georgia Police

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In another case of sudden jihad syndrome one more nut has bitten the dust here in the good ol’ USA. But this one won’t be enjoying the traditional 72 virgins, well, unless she is a very uncommon Muslim, that is. Jameela Cecila Barnette was killed by a Cobb County, Georgia Police Officer on Christmas morning, […]

 

The Kwanzaa Con: Created by a Rapist and Torturer

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Each year, with the onset of Christmas, we are treated to another gauzy, fluff piece about how great Kwanzaa is by yet another PC spewing columnist.

Yes Virginia The Internet Does NOT Replace Old Fashioned Politics

This time ’round Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich served to get people to question the old way […]

 

Media Forgets to Mention S. C. Immigration Law-Blocking Judge is Obama Appointee

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of the Old Media’s favorite ways of attempting to hide the ideological track of a story is to somehow forget to mention to which party someone in the news hails or owes fealty to. In this case it is what they don’t report that misleads. This week we find a classic what-they-don’t-say story concerning […]
