Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Bart Stupak just had a revelation. And it’s a disturbing one. Sitting in an airport, on his way home to Michigan, Rep. Bart Stupak, a pro-life Democrat, is chagrined. “They’re ignoring me,” he says, in a phone interview with National Review Online. “That’s their strategy now. The House Democratic leaders think they have the votes […]

 

Government Health Care Is Not About Health Care; It’s About Government

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

“Government Health Care is not about health care; It’s about Government.” So reads the last line of Mark Steyn’s latest brilliant article, which I strongly suggest that everyone read. He’s right, of course, but I’d go even a step further. It’s not just about government, it’s about a mindset and a freedom-squashed way of life. […]

 

Representative Paul Broun is Getting Jersey With It

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Yesterday, Republican Representative Paul Broun, of Georgia no less, played the Jersey card. He not only invoked Snooki, of the Mtv show Jersey Shore, but also “The Situation.” You go, Pauly! Broun: Snookie has more substance than Obama’s bipartisanship “offer” (Washington, D.C.) U.S. Representative Paul Broun, M.D. (GA-10) released the following statement after President Barack […]

 

Multiplicity II, Starring Janeane Garofalo As Andie MacDowell

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

During the Bush #43 administration, the left really went to town with their practice of stealing pages from the conservative playbook that they had preceding years. But much like the cloning machine in Michael Keaton’s “Multiplicity”, the copy of a copy of a copy tended to lose more than a little crispness once it had been cloned. Here’s a brief, and very likely incomplete recap

 

Mob Rule, Alive and Well, Despite Coughing on Second-Hand Smoke

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

As I was roaming about the house, muttering under my breath with outrage at yet another “How dare you question The One! Racist Crackers! ” demonization of conservatives, I couldn’t help but think, and thus become further dismayed, that I wasn’t really surprised. It is obvious that few, including Congress, understand that America is a […]

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Image courtesy of iowntheworld.com Bill Maher is better than you. Or, so he claims, once again, during an appearance on Larry King. “But what the Democrats never understand is that Americans don’t really care what position you take, just stick with one,” Maher said. “Just be strong.

Happy Anniversary, Stimulus Package! Boondoggle: Great NRSC Ad

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

This is an excellent ad by the Senate Republicans, released to coincide with the one year anniversary of the boondoggle known as the stimulus package.

Where Have you Gone George Washington?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I don’t celebrate “President’s Day.” I celebrate the presidents individually, not the whole gaggle of them at once. But I most certainly don’t celebrate George Washington, the father of our country, as just another president. These days, George Washington has been relegated to that “truth telling guy” to be seen on the one dollar bill […]

Texas Has Some Interesting Ballot Measures Coming Up

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Wonder how this would play nationally: “These ballot propositions are Texas Republicans’ chance to be heard on issues facing our state,” said Republican Party of Texas Chairman Cathie Adams. “All five of the propositions came up from the grassroots through the SREC to address serious concerns. Voters should study the questions and then use their […]

Diesel’s Ad Campaign to Teens: “Show Us Your Boobs”

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

It seems that: advertising executives now think it’s totally cool to include teens in that whole “sex sells” marketing tool. Diesel Jeans has a new ad campaign running,: called Be Stupid (sadly, they don’t mean it ironically) wherein they encourage people to “have balls.” Okay, “having balls”, or as grown-ups like to say, taking risks, has its […]

The Left: Bending Over Backwards to Excuse Racism

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A new book about the 2008 presidential election has made quite a stir with its revelation that Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) chose some, shall we say, unfortunate wording when referring to then candidate Barack Obama in some “private” discussions with reporters during the late presidential campaign. In the book Game Change penned […]

 

Looking For Trumbo: California’s Basket-Case Economy

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

George Will crafts quite a descriptive metaphor for California’s failing economy, comparing it to the titular ultimate basket-case soldier in Dalton Trumbo’s infamous 1939 anti-war novel “Johnny Got His Gun.” As Trumbo writes, if Johnny got his gun, then most certainly, “Berkeley Got Its Liberalism.”

 

U.S. Judge Comes to Rescue of Terrorist, Throws Out Confession

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 […]

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.
