At Correspondents Dinner, Obama Takes Partisan Shots, Also Shots At Private Citizens

Posted on by William Teach

Say, remember this story from yesterday? In a blunt caution to political friend and foe, President Obama said Saturday that partisan rants and name-calling under the guise of legitimate discourse pose a serious danger to America’s democracy, and may incite “extreme elements” to violence. That was from his commencement speech whine at the U. Of […]

 

NY Times: Obama Missed Chance To Act On Oil Spill

Posted on by William Teach

Part mega lots in the on going visibility of the biased media. Check the headline BP Is Criticized Over Oil Spill, but U.S. Missed Chances to Act Ah. The US missed its chance. Not Obama. The US. But, interestingly, in the meat of the article (Obama’s) administration has publicly chastised BP America for its handling […]

 

Life. And The Will to Live

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I read this article in The Telegraph the other day about a 22 week old fetus, an unborn baby, who survived an abortion attempt and lived for two days; unattended to, abandoned and left to die. Alone. After I stopped weeping and saying a prayer for that innocent life lost, a couple of other things […]

 

Obama Tough Guy On Illegal Immigration! That Was Then…

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Once again we see that anything that Obama says has an expiration date. In 2006, then Senator Obama was a tough guy on illegal aliens. Flash forward to 2010 when he wants desperately to find an issue with which he can beat up on Republicans, suddenly Barack Obama pretends to be every illegal alien’s buddy. […]

 

YOUR Pay Is Not ‘Above Obama’s Pay Grade’

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I used to lament the fact that we no longer have a President who can speak on his own without being spoon-fed words via teleprompter. Now, however, I’m glad for it.:  Obama’s reliance on being fed his words makes him unable to speak extemporaneously without revealing his true beliefs. He did so again, when he […]

 

The Hyperbole Surrounding AZ’s New Law; Talk About Epistemic Closure!

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Image courtesy of newsreal I figured that I may as well jump on the new buzz word band wagon and use the term epistemic closure. Even though I’m totally not into the term. It sounds icky and like something contagious. Nevertheless, epistemic closure is pretty much what all of the hysterical, over the top shrieking […]

 

Tea Party: Instantly Attacked by Old Media, Coffee Party: Immediate Respect from Old Media

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Nothing says “media bias” like coffee in the morning. If anyone ever wanted to see an example of the bias of the Old Media no better example can be found than the different ways that it has treated the tea party movement and the coffee party astroturf effort. The tea party movement was initially ignored, […]

 

Obama Tax Pledge Officially Expired 4/27/10

Posted on by William Teach

Remember this? “I can make a firm pledge,” he said in Dover, N.H., on Sept. 12. “Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.” He repeatedly vowed […]

 

Behavioral Science, Behavioral Economics, Social Science, Psychology… How are these ‘Science’? Why Is Obama Using them to Ruin This Nation?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

OK, let me get this straight. The bulk of the “research” that the so-called sciences mentioned in the headline above are done in university labs. There they conduct these “experiments” mostly, not exclusively, but mostly, on grad students and other students willing to go to the lab and take surveys, answer questions, and participate in […]

 

I Want To Fire All Government Workers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We conservatives are fond of wanting to oust everyone in office and for wanting to “vote the scoundrels out.” But, I’d like to add one more level to the throw-them-out-of-government arena. Let’s fire every government worker from the smallest village receptionist or sewer worker to the staffers of the highest Senator and every menial clerk […]

 

Humor Tuesday: Obama Convenes Panel To Find Solutions To The Budget Problems He Helped Create

Posted on by William Teach

You do have to give Obama high chutzpah marks for pulling this stunt, though Seeking to show he is serious about reining in soaring budget deficits, President Barack Obama on Tuesday will kick off the work of a panel he created to try to solve the nation’s fiscal woes. Obama has given the independent, 18-member […]

 

Andy Stern: Union Chief Fleeing Ahead of Illinois Indictment?

Until recently, Andy Stern was the President of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), a union that has served as one of President Obama’s biggest donors as well as filling the ranks of his ground troops. In a surprise move, Stern resigned his post this month and no one is really sure why at this […]

 

Does Obama Want to Destroy America? Yes, But…

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Rush Limbaugh and a few other radio hosts have made it a center piece of the attack against President Obama, the Tea Partiers have often put such sentiment on their protest signs, and the conservative chattering classes have been abuzz with the question: does Barack Obama want to destroy the United States? The only real […]

 

Dear President Obama, I Call Bullshizen

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

I do not believe this for one minute: In the two-minute and 42-second video released Monday, Obama emphasizes that the key to victory for Democrats in November will be convincing the people who helped fuel his 2008 White House bid – first-time voters – to head to the polls for the second time in two […]

 

Republican Governors Association Video: Remember November

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I was going to submit this without comment, because the video speaks for itself. However, it appears that the video is even more effective than I first thought. Allahpundit at Hot Air notes that Time Magazine (I know. I was surprised to learn that it’s still in:  publication, too) is already frothing at the mouth […]

 

Dems Conspire to Kill the Filibuster

Posted on by Dave Blount

It’s as if the power-drunk socialists currently in the driver’s seat think they’ll be there forever. Do they know something the pollsters don’t? Now they want to kill the filibuster. Here‘s what Dems said in defense of the filibuster just a few years ago, when they were in the minority, and Republicans were considering the […]

 

Mid-East Double Shot: Israeli Tells Obama “NO!”/Mystery Rockets

Posted on by William Teach

Yet again, Obama has failed on the world stage. Copenhagen, Chicago Olympics, his Iran policy (let’s be honest, everyone has failed), despised by the British press, annoyed a large number of leaders in American ally nations……and now Israel has said no. Again Aides to Israel’s prime minister said Thursday that he has officially rejected President […]

 

Unsafe Sharia Healthcare Coming Your Way, America

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Recently the British health services ruled that Muslim nurses and doctors didn’t have to wash their hands before handling patients. Why did they reverse a hundred years of sanitary medical practices? Why, because the Brits didn’t want to upset their Muslim citizens who think that washing themselves is some sort of crime against their religion. […]

 

Those Delusional ‘Coffee Party’ Lefties

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The self-delusional world in which liberals wallow truly is amazing. It takes an Olympic gymnast’s level of agility to warp your logic enough to think like one of them and a recent report on the left-wing blather site Newsvine is yet one more example of the backbreaking contortions that liberals must indulge to make themselves […]

 

Rahm Emanuel: ‘I Would Like to Run for Mayor of Chicago’

Big Government Knifes Goldman Sachs in the Back

Posted on by Dave Blount

There is danger in dealing with criminals, as the Obama-bankrolling crony capitalists at Goldman Sachs are finding out the hard way. The firm was at the top of the list of Obama donors, and was soon rewarded with mountains of our money during the “bailout” looting spree. But next on the hit list for nationalization […]

 

Mitt Romney Wrote the Obamacare Book

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It looks like Mitt Romney is trying to be the GOP front runner for 2012. But he is one of the main influences for Obama’s socialist takeover of America’s healthcare system. Watch this video and remind yourself why we need to eliminate Mitt Romney from any possibility for being the GOP nominee for President in […]

 

Obama Wants You to Sit Down and Shut Up (Video)

Posted on by Duane Lester

As I wrote at Pajamas Media, President Obama is currently on a Health Care Comedy Tour. He is addressing his myrmidons across this country and utilizing Saul Alinsky’s advice. This isn’t about logic or forming a coherent argument. This is about ridicule, “man’s most potent weapon.” Those are the words of the granddaddy of community […]

 

Fish Wrap: Say, Those Insurance Fixes Don’t Work Too Well In New York

Posted on by William Teach

Apparently, the Times is interested in dropping a few bombshells this weekend. First you have the “Gates Says U.S. Lacks Strategy to Curb Iran’s Nuclear Drive,” which others have covered, and then there is this, which basically says that the provisions of ObamaCare are doomed to failure When her small executive search firm in New […]

Happy Friday! I bet you never knew this about Dear Leader, vis a vis space exploration “The bottom line is, nobody is more committed to manned spaceflight, to human exploration of space than I am,” he said in a speech to about 200 attendees of a White House-sponsored space conference here. There’s probably a joke […]
