Dems Now Spinning Scott Brown As Being Very Liberal

Posted on by William Teach

I love the smell of desperation in the morning. It smells like …….. victory. Democrat Boris Shor is trying to spin that Scott Brown is more liberal than Dede Scozzafova To my mind, the election is fascinating for another reason. Brown is attracting very positive national and state Republican and conservative attention. On the other […]

 

Obama Bringing More Terrorists To US For Civilian Trials?

Posted on by William Teach

Somebody has some hope these days, namely, those terrorists sitting around at Club Gitmo. They all know that a civilian trial will afford them the opportunity to rail against America (and have the far left agree with all their assertions), as well as the chance to be found not guilty or let off on a […]

 

Podcast: Andrew Malcolm On President Obama & Chicago In D.C. And More…

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Andrew Malcolm, reporter for the Los Angeles Times, joined me to discuss the blend of “old” and “new” media and how the news landscape is changing. He also talks about his time reporting in Chicago and how the machine works and how Barack Obama is a product of that machine and now runs the machine […]

 

Book Review: What Are These Tea Parties About, Anyway?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A new book about the Tea Party movement — and a movement it really is — will soon be hitting the shelves. “A New American Tea Party” penned by John M. O’Hara, one of the many folks that helped bring us some of those protests in early 2009, is a book that hopes that the […]

 

Why Obama’s Speeches Aren’t Very Good Anymore

Posted on by John Hawkins

Michael Gerson has out a piece today professing surprise that Obama’s speeches have become a weak point. Here’s Gerson: In the most unexpected development of his presidency, what was once universally recognized as Obama’s greatest political strength — his oratory — now seems a serious weakness. …The swift rise of Barack Obama was primarily a […]

 

Why This Conservative Wants Harry Reid to Stay Right Now

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Of course it would serve Senate Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid and the Democrats right if they found Reid hounded from the Democrat leadership or even from office over his racist comments made about President Obama back during the presidential campaign. After all the faux charges of racism that the left has used to hound […]

 

Rudy Flub Brings Out Vultures

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For several days now the Old Media has been indulging in a steady attack on former Mayor Rudy Giuliani that tends to misdirect readers away from his criticism of President Obama. First by making what Giuliani said of Obama seem more adulatory than it was and second by focusing on a rather unexceptional remark that […]

 

The Left: Bending Over Backwards to Excuse Racism

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A new book about the 2008 presidential election has made quite a stir with its revelation that Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) chose some, shall we say, unfortunate wording when referring to then candidate Barack Obama in some “private” discussions with reporters during the late presidential campaign. In the book Game Change penned […]

 

The Sensitive, Nuanced Verbal Stylings of Senator Harry Reid

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

The top Democrat in the U.S. Senate apologized on Saturday for comments he made about Barack Obama’s race during the 2008 presidential bid.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada described then-Sen. Barack Obama as “light skinned” and “with no Negro dialect.” Obama is the nation’s first African-American president.

 

Video: Sex, Lies, And Golf Magazines

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

The cover of Golf Digest’s now-infamous “10 Tips Obama Can Take From Tiger” issue was announced on the Web about five minutes before Woods’ career-altering misadventures at the end of November. But when I finally saw the issue on the newsstand around Christmastime, it occurred to me that it may be a miniature — albeit entirely unintended — version of “Bobos In Paradise”, “The Preppie Handbook”, and other books that marked mammoth elite overreach and smugness…

 

U.S. Judge Comes to Rescue of Terrorist, Throws Out Confession

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

(I know William already posted the story, but allow me a second to rant…) Get ready folks because this is the world of terrorist coddling that Barack Obama is setting up for us from now on. A left-wing, multicultural-loving, half-wit federal judge has sided with those who would kill us all by throwing out most […]

 

Crain’s Chicago: Earring Wearing ‘Journo’ Attacks ‘Tea-Baggers’ and Conservatives

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Crain’s Chicago Business has just gotten into the business of indulging in foul, sexually charged name calling, apparently. Yes, you can mark Crain’s Chicago Business as only the latest news outlet to decide it’s funny to call conservatives “tea-baggers.” It’s a name that lefties have been tagging the movement with all winter, one derived from […]

 

Another Obama Paid Shill: Jonathan Gruber, The Cadillac Tax & His “Sole Source” Contract With HHS

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

See that guy on the left? Yeah, he’s the Obama Shill you’ve never heard of until just now. But he’s the one writing Op-Eds in the Washington Post like he’s independent. But no. He’s being paid by President Barack Obama. More corruption from the new administration of transparency and Savior-like perfection. Jonathan Gruber writes an […]

 

Unions to Rake in $19 Billion Per Year From Obamacare

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Over at BigGovernment.com, Don Loos posited an excellent reason about why the big public employees unions are falling all over themselves to help Obama force Obamacare down America’s throats even though their members would lose their lavish healthcare plans as a result. The reason? $19 billion in likely dues money that these unions will get […]

 

Obama Declares War On Al Qaeda, Continues To Try Terrorists In Civilian Court

Posted on by William Teach

Even though Barry is just attempting to look tough, engaged, and in charge, he is mostly just covering his posterior with all his press conferences and speeches. I will give him points, though, as painful as that is, for at least defending himself. One of the things that drove Conservatives nuts during the Bush years […]

 

Sen. Ben Nelson: Say, Maybe We Shudda Waited on Healthcare ‘Reform’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Every week we are seeing another Democrat deciding not to run for re-election or one that is switching parties to the GOP all due to the wild, left-wing overreach indulged in by the Obama Administration and its cohorts in Congress. Connecticut’s Senator Chris Dodd is only the latest heavy hitter Democrat that is looking for […]

 

Tea Party Debate Continued: My Reply to Steve McQueen of BigGovernment.com

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In what I suppose is round three, I’d like to take a moment to reply to the criticism of my Tea Party article which was titled “Tea Parties: The Biggest Mistake We Could Make in 2010.” That criticism is penned by my fellow BG contributor, Steve McQueen whose piece titled “For Tea Parties, Bigger Is […]

 

Americans Are In For A Shock, ‘Eh?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

According to Obama administration officials and USA Today, Americans will be shocked when they see the results of some internal reports regarding the Crotchbomber: WASHINGTON – White House national security adviser James Jones says Americans will feel “a certain shock” when they read an account being released Thursday of the missed clues that could have […]

 

Why Are We Closing Gitmo? Not For The Reasons Stated

Posted on by McQ

It remains a mystery, to me at least, why closing Gitmo is such a priority to this president. In fact, it seems like it is the only campaign promise he actually plans on keeping, although to this point he’s been spectacularly unsuccessful. But seriously, other than location, what does closing Gitmo and moving these “detainees” […]

 

Petition Against KSM Carnival Trial

Posted on by Dave Blount

Human Events is offering a chance to speak out against the insane show trial Comrade Obama is granting 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed a stone’s throw from Ground Zero. A petition to be sent to Chairman Zero’s pro-terrorist AG John Holder lists the following reasons for opposing this sick spectacle: 1. Trying these terrorists in […]

 

Obama Wants Guantanamo Detainees To Suffer

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It is now nearing the one-year anniversary of the day Obama claimed that Guantanamo would be shut down. With all his rhetoric on the facility, I thought that Obama was all about the “humane” treatment of the terrorists being held at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility? Right? I mean, wasn’t Obama all we-weed up that […]

 

The Case Against Public Sector Unions

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

By now you are all familiar with my beating on my little unions-are-bad-for-government drum… ya may even be tired of it by now. Still, I’d like to pass on the work of friend to the blog David Denholm who has also addressed this point in the past. On the Public Service Research Foundation website can […]

 

Dems Look To Finalize Health Bill In Secret

Posted on by William Teach

Shocking, eh? Democratic leaders are looking to forgo a formal, public conference to merge the House and Senate’s health care overhaul bills, giving Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the White House free rein to hammer out the final measure behind closed doors and thwart Republican efforts to stymie it. Not […]

 

Another Example of Obama’s Radical Leftist Agenda

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Over at the American Thinker, Jay Schalin has another example of the radical leftist agenda that Obama is trying to pull over on the American people. This time we see it in the extremist agenda for education that Obama is trying to implement by revitalizing the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (NACIQI), […]

 

Democrats on Rasmussen Polls: The Numbers Ain’t Right and The Question is Flawed

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Politico published a Jan. 2 we-shoot-the-messenger styled story about lefty bloggers and Democrat activists who are upset that the Rasmussen polling group has so often found numbers trending in support of the GOP position. Not only has Rasmussen found that Obama’s approval rating is going down steadily, but it has been finding that Republicans […]

 

Effigy Of Obama Hung In Jimmy Carter’s Hometown

Posted on by William Teach

I’m waiting for the Typical Liberal “Blame The Right” Fest to start (BBC, which also has video) The US Secret Service says it is investigating after an effigy of Barack Obama was found hanging in the home town of former President Jimmy Carter. TV footage showed the doll hanging by a noose in front of […]

 

What One Russian Was Worth and His Thank You for the Purchase

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On a previous episode of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Conservatism, Babe and I interviews the delightful Leon Weinstein, Russian immigrant and capitalist booster. Leon has made a few YouTube videos that are well worth the time to watch as they teach a good lesson on why the socialist/communist direction that Barack Obama is […]

 

Two Americas: One Struggling, One Happy, Unionized, and in Government

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I know I’ve said it before, but unionism is antithetical to good government. It is impossible to have both unions and effective government in a democratic republic such as ours. Unions destroy good government, waste money at all levels and they move strictly against the best interests of the voters in all cases. Once again […]
