I Think This Is What Going To Hell In A Handbasket Looks Like

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

I just received this email from a reader: Dr. Clouthier, I’ve got my own conservative-leaning site but I keep yours close at hand everyday. Thank you, first off, for being so vigilant. That being said, I’m sorry to have to ask so bluntly, but is this Kevin Jennings thing real? I think I’m in shock. […]

 

Lewis Diuguid: Ice Cream for Breakfast and a Unicorn in Every Garage

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Kansas City Star columnist Lewis Diuguid is, I am forced to believe, completely addicted to some sort of hallucinogenic drug. What else could explain Diuguid’s serious echoing of the unserious proposal of a federal “department of peace” offered by that well known UFO enthusiast from Ohio, Dennis Kucinich? Oddly, Diuguid seems to think that this […]

Another Obama Slight to American Jews

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In another in a long series of swift kicks to Israel and American Jews, the Obama Administration has announced that it is slashing the guest list and budget for its 2009 Hanukkah celebration. According to the Jerusalem Post the guest list is being cut in half causing some American Jews to wonder if Obama is […]

 

Europe is Our (Insert Female Pejorative Here)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

**And now a word from my inner swaggerer… Europe is a chick’s name. That’s right, you heard me. The word Europa from which Europe is derived is of feminine gender in origin. In Greek mythology Europa was a Phoenician princess abducted by Zeus. Zeus disguised himself as a bull to pull off the caper. So, […]

 

How Ojigi Works: Is Obama An Idiot Or A Boob For Bowing?

Posted on by William Teach

Let’s talk about bowing in Japanese culture, also known as Ojigi Ojigi (bowing) is an essential part of Japanese daily life. People bow when saying hello, thanking someone, apologizing, saying good-bye and introducing themselves. Although shaking hands (akushu) has become accepted as a form of greeting, many Japanese still are not used to it. The […]

 

The Degradation of Decorum and Odd Role Reversals

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

In case you missed it, teabagging is now an acceptable term from Presidents. Here’s the thing. I’m younger than a lot of my readers. I was 11 when I learned what a “Lewinsky” was from my President. Classy, right? That’s a huge problem. It brought something that was not even on my radar into every […]

 

Obama and Democrats Don’t Understand ‘Sacrifice’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston The jihadi movement has never made any bones about the fact that it intends to destroy western civilization from within using the West’s own principles as weapons against it. This is why, for instance, that radical Islamists have been angling to institute Sharia “law” inside England and Canada and to a […]

 

Michele Bachmann’s House Call.

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

I have some seriously mixed emotions right now. Today was amazing. I was blown away by the shift in the GOP Representatives. There were so many who were FINALLY getting it. It was like they realized we weren’t going away, and they’d better get on board. It’s about time. I have been busting my tail […]

 

Dems False Talking Point of 80% Agreement

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama has repeatedly been heard to say that Congress agrees on “about 80% of what needs to be done” on healthcare. And many Democratic congressmen have been echoing this since Obama’s Sept. speech. The meme has been used to present their case as if Obamacare is somehow mostly acceptable by all concerned. Even some Republican […]

 

Nanny State Update: New York District Bans Kids From Riding Bikes to School

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

America’s kids are too fat. Right? Don’t we hear that all the time? Isn’t it a steady mantra from the left that America is suffering from an “epidemic” of obesity? So, shouldn’t we want to encourage kids to get outdoors? Wouldn’t it be a good thing if kids rode a bicycle to school? Not to […]

 

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: […]

 

Setting The Record Straight: My Diabolical Tea Party Attendance “Misinformation Campaign”

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

I hadn’t planned on responding to the entire Tea Party attendance controversy, but since Media Matters is using information I was responsible for to smear Michelle Malkin, I figured I’d set the story straight. Estimates for the 9/12 march ranged from the “tens of thousands” all the way up to two million. Yes, two million. […]

 

Teeny Tiny Fringe Minority in Washington, DC: The 9/12 March

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

If you stayed at home and watched the news this weekend, you may not have heard about the teeny tiny fringe of angry protesters that showed up in Washing, DC this weekend. Because there was very little coverage. Just look at the minuscule crowds these nutjobs are trying to pass off as legit! All snark […]

 

Lt David Halderman Jr. – FDNY

Posted on by McQ

A post I did in September of 2006 for the 2996 Project, originally entitled “September 11th, 2001 – “We Lost David”. It is the ongoing fulfillment of a promise made in the last sentence of the post. This is what 9/11 should be about. ____________________________________________________________ Each week I do a tribute, called Project Hero, about […]

 

Democrat Truthers And Teaching 9/11 The Liberal Way

Posted on by William Teach

The New Republic admits what we already knew: Democrats are Truthers (via Jonah Goldberg) Jones was wrong, actually, in disavowing his support for 9/11 conspiracy theory. He signed the document, which can only mean that he supports the idea that 9/11 was planned, or that the Bushies knew something more than they have said, or […]

 

Another 1,000,000 Guns Sold…Last Month

Posted on by Duane Lester

The gun industry is in no need of stimulus. So far this year, over 9 million guns have been sold in America and over a million were sold just last month: Data released by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) reported 1,074,757 checks in August 2009, a 12.3 percent increase from the […]

 

Are We Witnessing The Decline And Fall Of The American Non-Empire?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

America, as Bill Whittle so eloquently pointed out, is not, and never has been an Empire builder. Still, America has been a world-power since almost her inception over 200 years ago. Is it over? Today, we learn that America lost to the Swiss as the world’s most competitive economy. Consider, too, MaxedOutMama‘s take on unemployment […]
