Posted on December 12, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

It’s that time of year again, time for newspapers and magazines to start floating their “top stories of the year” lists and Time Magazine has a whole “Top of Everything” list with which to thrill us.

Even NY Times Doubtful About California Boondoggles

Posted on December 10, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

You know a government project is headed for disaster when even the New York Times becomes skeptical about it. In a recent article, the “newspaper of record” interviewed several public officials, transportation experts and historians who raise “serious objections” about the viability of California’s High-Speed Rail project — a project created by a ballot initiative.

“What You Don’t Often Hear About Those ‘Greedy’ One Percenters”

Posted on December 10, 2011December 1, 2011 by Craig Newmark

Video: Obama: Capitalism and Liberty Don’t Work

Barack Obama, President of the United Deniers of America, is slamming the country again. This time he ways that capitalism, liberty, and American principles have never worked.

Romney, Newt, Bachtorum, Ron Puntsman: Who Cares?

Posted on December 7, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Like nearly every conservative in America today I am unimpressed by the current crop of GOP nominees for president and feel they all have major flaws — especially the two frontrunners Newt and Romney, both of whom have major deficits as far as staunch conservatives are concerned. But at this point I’ve come to realize […]

Help Stop The High Cost of Federal Regulations

Posted on December 7, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

(The House of Representatives is voting on this bill today…) One of the reasons that our economic recovery has been so slow is that the Obama administration has opened a continuous avalanche of regulations affecting jobs, hampering businesses, and costing all of us billions in lost revenue, taxation, and waste. But there is a bill […]

A Fair Shake

Posted on December 6, 2011 by Michael Fell

Once again, the current White House occupant is spending your money to fly in Air Force One to a campaign stop. The location of his many stops varies, but his message doesn’t.

‘Historian’ Gets Mouthy At Congressional Hearing

Posted on December 4, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

I meant to get to this last week, but “historian” Douglas Brinkley is so forgettable as a writer that it all slipped my mind. But, it’s a slow news day, so let’s take a look at the temper tantrum this hack threw when he visited the House Natural Resources Committee on Nov. 22, shall we? […]

VIDEO Remy: Missing You – The Incandescent Light Bulb Song

Posted on December 3, 2011December 3, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Ode to the light bulb. You know. The one in its arrogance and un-Constitutional overreach that the creeps in Washington decided we are no longer “allowed” to have? Yeah that one. There is no better example of why we need to be tearing down the power of government than this light bulb ban. None. It […]

CNN Soft Peddles ‘Occupy’ Lawbreaking, Asks if Police Have ‘Sympathy’ With Occupiers

Posted on December 3, 2011December 3, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

On November 30, CNN’s T. J. Holmes gave us a great example of how the Old Media is soft peddling the law breaking going on at the Occupy events in order to make these events seem far less dangerous and illicit than they are. Like many in the Old Media, Holmes seems desperate to give […]

Two pieces addressed to Occupy Wall Street

Posted on December 3, 2011December 1, 2011 by Craig Newmark

“Memo to the Occupy protesters: here are ten things we evil capitalists really think“. Chatting to some Occupy protesters this morning, I was struck by how wide of the mark were the beliefs they attributed to me as a Right-winger. In the interests of deeper understanding, here are ten things which — trust me — […]

Looks Like Obama Lost These Boobs as Fans, Anyway

Posted on December 2, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The Barbi Twins are no longer big fans of the Obammessiah. They think he’s turned his back on the horses. No, not the ones at the race track — well, maybe after they retire from the track they’ll fit in this story. No the Barbi twins think Obama has abandoned the horses that had until […]

On Guns And Capitalism

With the Economy Down, Obama Looks to Help Big Labor Make it Worse

Posted on November 30, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

With this week’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing of American Airlines, we again see the results of unions having a hand in destroying American businesses.

Posted on November 29, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Government Motors has finally found its hottest car and the Chevy Volt is it. Unfortunately for Chevy, it isn’t because it is popular. It’s because the car seems to catch on fire a lot.

How Radical is Obama? This Radical…

Posted on November 29, 2011November 28, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama is very successful at one thing: the bait and switch. He stands before America presenting a picture of a hard-working moderate and claims that he wants to work with the Republicans to get things done. In reality he won’t even meet with them. He talks about compromise, but never offers any. He mouths […]

Return To Free Market Principles

Posted on November 23, 2011 by Michael Fell

If we’re to form conclusions based on the behavior of our elected officials, the United States government being over $15 trillion in debt is a minor concern. It looks like figuring out how to cut spending is simply too adult a puzzle for ”progressives” in the Senate and the White House. What else can the […]

Democrats, Sen. Schumer Shut Down Citizen’s Forum

Posted on November 22, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

You know, it is unfortunate that the Democrat Party’s name has the word “democracy” as it root because the modern Democrat Party is 100% opposed to both democracy and our system of government. Senator Chuck “Hitman” Schumer just proved this to be true once again. Last week Senator Mike Lee (R, Utah) had reserved a […]

California Ballot Boondoggle Sends Tax Dollars Out of State

Posted on November 20, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Despite all the talk of fixing it, California’s budget is still a mess. One of those “fixes” was implemented last summer when the state Legislature increased revenue projections by $4 billion to avoid balancing the budget. Of course, the problem with using such “phantom money” is that it often has a habit of disappearing when […]
