Obama’s Slogans Seem To Suggest He Thinks His Supporters Are Idiots — And He May Be Right.

Posted on by John Hawkins

In 2008, Barack Obama was a human Hallmark card. He ran the most vapid, meaningless campaign in living memory. He ran on “Hope, “Change,” and “Unity,” and being the first black President, none of which hint at his agenda or why he’d be a good President. It was a campaign designed to appeal to imbeciles […]

Does Anyone Else Alive Take As Much Vacation Time As The Obamas?

Posted on by John Hawkins

What exactly is Michelle Obama doing that requires her to take so many vacations? They’re up to what, 16 vacations in 3 1/2 years? That’s better than a vacation every 3 months.

American Crossroads Gives Obama Way Too Much Credit. He’s Actually Not Cool.

Posted on by John Hawkins

Compared to people who are genuinely cool like say, Tim Tebow, Brad Pitt, Dwayne Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal, Chuck Liddell, etc., etc.? No, he’s a bad joke. So, when Crossroads concedes the fact that Obama is cool, it’s making a huge mistake. You […]

Obama Loves America… When It Agrees With Him

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama is an autocrat. Were we a South American nation he’d be our Hugo Chavez. He is not interested in democracy, our republican form of government, or listening to other’s opinions.

Sorry, Stoners, Looks Like Obama’s Not On Your Side For Marijuana Legalization

Posted on by William Teach

Two points to start out: first, I could personally care less about legalization of marijuana for medical use or complete legalization (with certain regulations such as age controls), as I do not use it. But, from my classical liberalism point of view, smoking it doesn’t hurt other people, and, if it doesn’t hurt other people, […]

No, Left-Wingers, the ‘Founders’ Did NOT Approve of Mandates or Obamacare

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Rich are Getting Poorer Under Obama

Posted on by Rachel Alexander
