A Morality Tale Warning Against Liberalism

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

There is an old joke from the Soviet Union that perfectly encapsulates the stupidity, hate, and failure that is modern liberalism… and yes I am saying there is no material difference between American liberals and Soviet communists.

Remember, though, that Obamacare is somehow going to save the American people lots and lots of money (The Hill) The Obama administration is quietly diverting roughly $500 million to the IRS to help implement the president’s healthcare law.

Obama Starts Off Women’s Forum By Patronizing Them

Posted on by William Teach

Here’s your Smartest President Evah!!!!1!!!

Obama Looks To Patronize Women With A “Female Forum”

Posted on by William Teach

Yesterday, The Washington Post wondered whether there is a war on women, or simply a battle for their votes. Obama and the Democrats can’t run on their records: their Stimulus measures were a disaster, they really do not want to talk about Obama’s signature legislation, Obamacare, and Obama’s foreign policy has been weak and, well, […]

 

Oops: Dems “War On Women” Meme Not Particularly Successful

Posted on by William Teach

Ever since the Democrats trotted student professional activist Sandra Fluke up to a fake Congressional hearing, in which she told us that law students needed to spend a whopping $1,000 a year on birth control, which they couldn’t afford, despite attending a fancy, expensive law school, the Democrats have been attempting to paint a picture […]

Posted on by William Teach

The in-the-bag-media is working hard to forget that this is the final point of a complete capitulation by Obama and Holder, both of whom wanted these al Qaeda members tried in a federal civilian court blocks from Ground Zero, and ran into a massive outcry over that idiotic plan.

Obama Weighs In On Possible Mandate Ruling With Typical Pomposity

Posted on by William Teach

It’s hard to believe this guy was ever a Constitutional teacher…..well, maybe the constitution of Russia or Venezuala.

Comparison: Politico Lauds ‘Forceful’ Gov’t Obamacare Argument, Fox Notes it was Laughed At

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The first arguments by the government in support of the already wildly over budget Obamacare law were heard at the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday and there is an interesting lesson in media bias that can be seen in the reporting of the day’s presentation.

Monday was the preliminarily remarks, attempting to set certain boundaries and assess a few basic questions. Politico provides 5 takeaways, which include The feds’ taxing power argument may be D.O.A.

EPA To Impose Limits On Trace Gas Necessary For Life For Coal Plants

Posted on by William Teach

Remember this? “Under my plan, the “Cap and Trade System” electricity rates would necessarily sky rocket” Well, since he cannot get that to happen through legislation, even during the time Democrats fully controlled the Senate and House, (NMP) Obama looks to have the EPA institute regulations which will lead to higher energy costs and less […]

Politico: 5 Things To Watch In ObamaCare Hearing

Posted on by William Teach

That’s right, today is the day the oral arguments start over the constitutionality of Affordable Care Act. Perhaps they should start with the name, since the legislation is anything but affordable. Anyhow, the NY Times points out that day 1 will be excruciatingly boring, as it will be a discussion over whether the High Court […]

 

Newt Calls Obama’s Trayvon Martin Comments “Disgraceful” And “Appalling”

Posted on by William Teach

When asked, Obama had this to say about Trayvon Martin Well, I’m the head of the executive branch, and the Attorney General reports to me so I’ve got to be careful about my statements to make sure that we’re not impairing any investigation that’s taking place right now. But obviously, this is a tragedy.:  I […]

 

Obama’s Chevy Go Cart Shockingly Needs New Charging Cord

Posted on by William Teach

Happy Saturday! It’s a beautiful day in America, and yet another Saturday where (NMP) is whining pushing for more stimulus style money for transportation in his weekly address.

The Tea Party vs The Status Quo

Posted on by Michael Fell

Much has been said since the November 2010 election about “establishment Republicans” co-opting Senators and Representatives elected with Tea Party support. What “establishment Republicans” evidently refuse to accept is, every Republicans elected in November 2010 owes huge thanks to the Tea Party. “Establishment Republicans” need to understand that Tea Party grassroots activists have had enough […]

 

Obama’s YouTube Hack-U-Mentary Censors Most Negative Feedback

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently it’s all sweetness and light, unicorns and fuzzy bunnies in the YouTube comments section of Obama’s new hagiographic, hack-u-mentary short film directed by Academy Award-winning director David “star-struck” Guggenheim. Barely a cross word is seen there about the Obammessiah since most negative comments seem likely to have been deleted from the YouTube page leaving […]

 

Good News: Government Information On US Citizens Can Now Be Held For 5 Years

Posted on by William Teach

Remember the good old days in the years immediately post-9/11, when Democrats freaked out over the government gathering information, which captured some data on US citizens?

Dear Conservatives: Romney Isn’t One of Us But We Still Hold The Power If…

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Romney is not conservative. Anyone that says he’s conservative is only trying to convince themselves and is willfully ignoring not only Romney’s entire executive record when he was governor of Massachusetts, but ignoring all the tell-tale signs that his current conservative-tinged campaign rhetoric is just a show to get the nomination. Romney doesn’t mean a […]

 

Obama Not Too Excited To Celebrate Two Year Anniversary Of ObamaCare

Posted on by William Teach

He hasn’t been too excited to discuss it in public, either, mostly mentioning it during fundraisers with the 1%, who can already afford really good insurance plans. He rather failed to discuss it during the State Of The Union. He avoided the subject during the run up to the 2010 midterms. He must really be […]

 

Good News! Politico Manages To Find Nine Dems Willing To Embrace The Obama Mantle

Posted on by William Teach

They’re literally fighting for Obama’s mantle, which seems to violate the “new tone”. Very violent rhetoric. Not quite as violent as Joe Biden telling me that “We’ve all got a dog in this fight.” I thought dog fighting was barbaric, violent, and illegal. So, if anyone gets caught dog fighting, blame Joe. Anyway (Politico) While […]

Welfare, Not Work: Obama Shuts Down Minority Business Agency

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Hosannas. Obama has finally cut some federal spending. But noting which agency he shut down is sort of emblematic of his whole welfare/big government-pushing presidency.
