Obama’s Budget Can Be Seen As “Borderline Delusional”

Posted on by William Teach

Those aren’t my words, but those of Politico writer David Rogers He ran on hope, governed through despair and now, with his election-year budget, President Barack Obama is trying to light the old spark, fleshing out a political narrative for America that can inspire with its romance but also seem borderline delusional to his critics […]

Posted on by William Teach

Obama Reinforces Stance On Unconstitutional Contraceptive Mandate

Posted on by William Teach

It boggles the mind why Obama would want to pick this fight with Catholics, which also means Conservatives, Tea Party members, Republicans, and the 60+% of Americans who oppose ObamaCare get riled up again, in an election year. Democrats, including Obama, avoided mentioning ObamaCare during the 2010 mid-term elections in the same manner people avoid […]

 

An Obama Compromise On ObamaCare Contraception Requirement?

Posted on by William Teach

Let’s start off with this from LauraW at Ace Of Spades Did Catholic organizations support Obamacare because they either assumed or were told that they would get an exception based on their religious beliefs? Because if that is true, then essentially they agreed to support an infringement on others’ freedoms just so long as their […]

 

Rick Santorum’s Romneycare Smack Down

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I think I am an inch away from endorsing Rick Santorum if he keeps this up. I am sure my endorsement will put him over the top, but that aside Santorum has really been standing as the only actual conservative left in the race at this point. His latest triumph occurred in Minnesota where he […]

Obama Leads From Behind, Rationalizes Why He Needs A Super PAC

Posted on by William Teach

Can we even term this leading from behind? He may be a “leader”, based on his position he purchased, but leading denotes guiding, directing, showing the way. Interestingly, a synonym of leading is “ruling.” Anyhow (Politico) President Barack Obama – in an act of hypocrisy or necessity, depending on the beholder – has reversed course […]

NY Times: Feminist Is Codeword For “Supports Infanticide”

Posted on by William Teach

Obama Set to Cost Each of Us Hundreds a Year in Higher Electric Costs

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama’s avalanche of needless regulations on coal-fueled power plants are going into effect and the net result will be the closing of hundreds of power plants all across the country just when our need for power is increasing. This will absolutely necessitate the cost of our power to skyrocket. But, this is exactly what […]

 

Green Failures

Posted on by Michael Fell

Here are a few of the latest companies to join the growing list of “green” “sustainable energy” failures that have been supported by the current Administration’s deficit “stimulus” spending.

Narcissistic (And Incompetent) President Wants Second Term “Badly”

Posted on by William Teach

Why obama is Toast

Posted on by Michael Fell

        This just in from the Associated Press: The Commerce Department said Thursday new-home sales fell last month to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 307,000.

State of the Union or Wishful Thinking?

Posted on by Michael Fell

The 2012 State of the Union address has come and gone with little change in the White House’s view of the world. This is unfortunate. America needs viable solutions, not more wishful thinking. Most disturbing is the continued, steadfast insistence that doubling America’s corporate tax rate will somehow create middle class jobs. After repeated failures […]

 

Obama SOTU 2012: An America Built To Last Like A Chevy Volt

Larry Summers Economic Memo To Obama: The Stimulus Was Never About Stimulus

Posted on by William Teach

The New Yorker has a lengthy piece on Barack Obama and his rise to power (which never seems to mention starting his political career in the living room of unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers), making Obama out to be some sort of anointed one who always spoke about Americans coming together, but, gosh darnit, too […]

 

Guilt By Association Used by Old Media Only to Hurt Republicans

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last week two political operatives were arrested in separate incidents, one Democrat and one Republican. It certainly isn’t news that political operatives sometimes break the law, but how the different incidents were reported is typical of how the Old Media establishment uses guilt by association to tar Republicans but rarely does the same thing to […]

 

Surging Gingrich Is A Master Of Disguise Or Something

Posted on by William Teach

So says The Politico The surging Newt Gingrich has mastered debates – and disguise.

The disguise part is clear, too. Gingrich has used his debate […]

That is, if you a tourist coming from another country. If you want to create jobs through something like, say, the Keystone XL pipeline, well, sucks to be you.
