Director of National Intelligence Describes Islamic Brotherhood as Peaceful and Secular

Posted on by Dave Blount

At least now we know why the Obama Misadministration didn’t see the Egypt situation coming and has no clue how to deal with it. Apparently by appointing people on the basis of leftist ideology rather than meaningful qualifications, Comrade Obama has put himself in the position of relying for information on folks like Director of […]

 

Obama Faces Stark Choices On Mubarak

Posted on by William Teach

The original headline of the NY Times article was “US faces stark choice as Mubarak clings to office,” but, perhaps the Fish Wrap realized that the rest of pretty much know what is going on, and have made our choices, and that so far, Obama has voted “present” President Hosni Mubarak’s refusal to step down […]

 

Good News! State Department Now Tweeting In Arabic

Posted on by William Teach

They’re only almost 15 days late, but, hey, they’ve got a great message! It took a while, but the U.S. State Department is now tweeting in Arabic. With unprecedented political turmoil rocking Egypt and protesters turning to social media such as Twitter and Facebook, the mouthpiece of U.S. foreign policy wants in on the game. […]

 

Government Rail to the Edge of the Abyss

Posted on by Dave Blount

Compliments of Cons.Underground. From now until the day our entire economy collapses under the weight of government debt is a wonderful time to be a corrupt bureaucrat or crony capitalist, as made obvious by Comrade Obama’s recently announced “high speed” rail boondoggle: At Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station on Tuesday, lifelong government rail promoter Vice President […]

 

More of Rahm’s Union Troubles

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In the race for the Chicago Mayor’s office we have seen quite a lot of evidence that Chicago’s union bosses are not big Rahm Emanuelites. This week we got another hint in that direction as several more unions came out in support of Emanuel’s most serious opponent, Gery Chico. The Chico campaign added a group […]

 

Gallup: American Public Becoming Extremely Dissatisfied

Posted on by Dave Blount

They say Comrade Obama got caught with his pants down on Egypt; he should have seen that the country was ready to blow. You could say the same about another country I know… Nearly 7 out of 10 Americans say they are dissatisfied with the size and power of the federal government and with nation’s […]

 

Now THERE’S Chutzpah: Obama Claims He hasn’t Raised Taxes?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

John Kartch over at Americans for Tax Reform found President Obama’s claim that he hasn’t raised taxes a bit, shall we say, quixotic. At one point in the interview with Obama conducted by Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly and shown on Sunday, Obama stated bald faced that he didn’t do so. The truth seems to be […]

 

More Evidence that Centrists Democrats Are Dead

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Ben Smith of POLITICO is reporting that the Democrat leadership Council is on it’s last paws and about to go belly up. This is one more little hint that the centrist, the moderate, or the “Blue Dog” Democrat is truly an extinct animal in America today. The Donkey’s big tent is more like a birdcage […]

 

Barack Obama’s “understanding” of all things Muslim

Posted on by Bookworm

When I was six years old, within a few short months, I went from having perfect vision to being extremely nearsighted. I was discussing that fact with a friend today, and noted that I have no memory of ever having seen well without help from glasses or contacts. This comment made me realize how little […]

 

New Climate Alarmist Movies About To Hit As Animals Freeze To Death And Barry Eats Well

Posted on by William Teach

Remember around 15 years ago, when the alarmists were still somewhat rational, and they came up with the brilliant plan to “spread awareness”, rather than actually taking action in their own lives? And, if Something Wasn’t Done, winters would be a thing of the past and we would all burn? Flash forward to today, and, […]

 

Fury builds over blackouts caused by de-industrialization of America

Posted on by William Teach

That’s the headline at News-Worthy Information, which leads to the same headline from the original article at Prison Planet. I’m not particularly enthused about citing PP as a source, considering all their conspiracy theories and Trutherism, yet, they happen to have a point Fury is building over rolling nationwide blackouts triggered by the Obama administration’s […]

 

Obama Admin. Betrays Britain Over Nuclear Secrets For START

Posted on by William Teach

After whining about Republicans blocking the START treaty months ago, Obama finally signed it on Tuesday morning, and the US media was a bit miffed that they weren’t allowed in the room. And now we find out from the UK Telegraph Information about every Trident missile the US supplies to Britain will be given to […]

 

Union Fights to Force You into Obamacre While Getting Waivers for Itself

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is one of Obama’s biggest donors. Curiously enough, the SEIU is also one of the more than 700 unions and corporations that have gotten waivers from the Obama administration to get out from under some of the oppressive rules of Obamacare. Yet, even as they have been allowed to […]

 

Blamestorming And Butt Covering Begins Over Egypt

Posted on by William Teach

Showing that politicians, especially Democrat politicians, are more interested in laying blaming on others than….well, really, that is what they are interested in: point the finger at others over Egypt The debate over who “lost” Egypt seems to have begun. Critics are openly questioning the quality of information and analysis given to President Barack Obama […]

 

First Obamacare Waivers Now EPA Rules Waivers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Obama Administration is quickly becoming the most corrupt administration in American history. Recently we reported about the mounting number of waivers that Obama is giving his union pals and union supporters so that they can get away from having to suffer under his Obamacare law and now the president’s jobs-killing greenhouse gas rules levied […]

 

Senate’s Repeal Healthcare Vote Failure Further Makes Lie to Term ‘Conservative Democrat’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Newly minted West Virginia Senator, Democrat Joe Manchin, ran for office denigrating Obama’s take over of our national healthcare system with his Obamacare law. Tonight he and other so-called “conservative Democrats” in the Senate got a chance to prove that they were, indeed, as conservative as they claimed to be by voting to repeal Obamacare. […]

 

Romney: Nope, I’m NOT Apologizing for Romneycare!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

After all these years in politics, Mitt Romney has finally found something he isn’t going to flip flop on — so far, anyway. Romney recently started a tour to kick off the release of his latest book and when asked if he was sorry he ever signed his name on the Massachusetts healthcare law derided […]

 

Senate Republicans Call for Vote on a Repeal of Obamacare for Wednesday

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R, KY) announced on Tuesday that he intends to bring to the floor a vote to repeal Obamacare on Wednesday. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid certainly does not want this vote to occur but even so it is highly doubtful that McConnell can get the 60 votes needed to sustain […]

 

Egypt Protests Turn Violent While Obama Gives Nebulous Call For Something

Posted on by William Teach

Along the more simply news line, we learn from the NY Times Thousands of demonstrators for and against President Hosni Mubarak, some on horses and camels, fought running battles in Cairo’s Tahrir Square on Wednesday, despite a call from Egypt’s powerful military for the president’s opponents to “restore normal life.” Those battles are still going […]

 

Video: President Obama, You’re No Ronald Reagan

Posted on by Susannah Fleetwood

This past week, Time magazine wrote an extremely dishonest column comparing Barack Obama to Ronald Reagan. In fact, Michael Sherer, one of the column’s co-authors, claimed on Hardball that Obama has always seen Reagan as a model, even though Sherer admitted in his column that “Reagan would come to epitomize all that Obama opposed”. That […]

 

Obama Gives Obamacare Waivers to 28 Unions, His BIG Donors

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

More on the waivers for Obamacare. A look at the president’s waiver list reveals he’s given waivers to 28 food workers union locals so that they can get out from under the oppressive, budget busting requirements in his take over of our nation’s medical system. Curiously enough, the PAC for those unions gave Obama $673,309 […]

 

Obama Admin: Hey, Perhaps Islamists In Egypts Government Would Be OK

Posted on by William Teach

What could possibly go wrong? The Obama administration said for the first time that it supports a role for groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, a banned Islamist organization, in a reformed Egyptian government. The organization must reject violence and recognize democratic goals if the U.S. is to be comfortable with it taking part in […]

 

Remember: Obamacare is Great… Well Unless You Are a Union, Then You Don’t Have to Suffer Under it

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If you’ll recall, Big Labor was one of the biggest cheerleaders for Obamacare. Big Labor was insistent that Obama’s take over of our nation’s healthcare was the best thing since sliced bread, to be sure. But once Obamacare got passed into law, we’ve learned that dozens of unions have sought exemptions to get out from […]

The Left’s Lying Liars Trying to Smear Michelle Bachmann’s Tea Party Response

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left’s latest unfair, false, and downright scurrilous attack on Michelle Bachmann focuses on her Tea Party response video aired after President Obama’s State of the Union speech last week. I am a bit late to this story, I realize, but I wanted to get it aired here regardless. The left’s claim is that Michelle […]

 

Comrade Obama Coming After Guns

Posted on by Dave Blount

Gun sales have been through the roof ever since America temporarily went off the rails and was duped into electing the Manchurian Moonbat, because our Second Amendment rights being the last line of defense against overreaching government, you had to know that the personification of statism would try to infringe on them. His teleprompter wisely […]

 

The Egypt crisis; or, the Community Activist and foreign policy

Posted on by Bookworm

I was going to open this post with a snarky line about whether anybody with even marginal intelligence expected a 40-something community activist to have the necessary chops to deal with an international crisis of the type currently unfolding in Egypt. Indeed, I think I still will: Does anybody with an IQ over the single […]

 

More Than Half of Union Workers Exempt From ObamaCare

This annual limit […]

 

ObamaRail

Posted on by Dave Blount

As Comrade Obama revealed in his State of the Union address, he has found a solution to the Sword of Damocles that hangs over us in the form of massive government debt: pour still more money into 19th century technology to placate environmental extremists. It takes more than windmills to bankrupt a great nation; only […]
