Ripping Off California at the Speed of High Speed Rail

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of President Obama’s favorite go-to items to “stimulate” the economy is building new rail lines, especially high-speed rail. Many states have been smart enough to cancel the high-speed rail projects, but oh, not California. California’s project rolls inexorably onward. Still, California does help show the rest of the country why high-speed rail is a […]

Death By Regulations: Has Obama Lost Senator Blanche Lincoln?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last year for the 2010 midterms Arkansas Senator Blanche Lincoln was in trouble with her reelection. Up until 2010 most felt her seat was a safe one but Democrat challengers pushed the sitting Senator to a runoff that she barely won. 55% of her constituents opposed her. Lincoln welcomed the support of President Obama who […]

 

Occupy LA Video: ‘Get Rid of America and Everything it Stands For’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Occupy Whatever movement — if it can be called a movement — is at its heart a hate-America movement. With each new video we see this more and more and this cretin at Occupy Los Angeles is just one more example. An avowed communist, like so many of these people are, he feels that […]

 

Reject the Occupy Wall Street Haters!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston As each day passes we see more of the violence, theft, property destruction and anti-Semitism of these Occupy-Whatevers. We are learning that these Occupy events are run by ACORN, big labor and various anti-American groups such as communists, socialists, and what have you. Worse there are instances of rape going on […]

 

Help Stop The High Cost of Federal Regulations

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

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 in the House called the REINS Act that could help […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The now thankfully former Speaker of the House Nancy “San Fran Nan” Pelosi said in a recent interview that a Boeing plant in South Carolina should either unionize or be shut down by the iron fist of government.

Ill. Policy Institute CEO John Tillman Rebuts Critiques of His Op Ed

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last week I wrote a piece expressing my dismay at an op ed written by John Tillman, CEO of the excellent Illinois Policy Institute. In his piece he claimed there was common ground between the “Occupy” folks and the Tea Party. I wholly disagreed with that. Mr. Tillman has written a follow up that he […]

 

Occupy Wall Street Kitchen Staff Tired of ‘Freeloaders’?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently some of the folks slaving away to cook politically correct meals for the participants of Occupy Wall Street are sick and tired of working themselves to the bone for homeless people, criminals, and other freeloaders who are eating their food. This is called being mugged by reality. It is also pretty darn funny. The […]

 

VIDEO: Walker’s Wisc. Union Reforms Are Working! (A Lesson for all Blue States)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Governor Scott Walker was the worst devil the unions could imagine. They targeted him and Wisconsin’s Republicans mercilessly earlier this year.

Ill. Policy Institute CEO Tillman Is Just Plain Wrong About ‘Occupy’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

John Tillman, CEO of the Illinois Policy Institute, penned an op ed in the Chicago Tribune touting what he claims is the common ground between conservatives and the Occupy Wall Street leftists who have trickled into the streets across the country.

VIDEO: Occupy Chicago Wants to ‘Collapse American Government’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Retired Palatine teacher, Roger Fraser, who makes nearly $8,000 a month in pension benefits off the backs of the Illinois Taxpayer, says that he wants to “collapse American government.” These people want to “collapse” this country.

Another Stupid Liberal Assumption Dies: Top 1% NOT Made Solely of Bankers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of the favorite memes of these Occupy-Whatever events is that the “top 1%” is made up of those evil, rich bankers and Wall Street tycoons. This, they feel is why they need to “occupy Wall Street” in the first place, right? Wrong again. Like most left-wing memes, this one is also horribly wrong. It […]

 

Obama-Emperor Less Than Zero’s Open Deceit

Posted on by Michael Fell

The current White House occupant is spending taxpayer money (again) flying around the country going to fundraisers (again) extrapolating on his 2012 re-election strategy to blame Republicans for the failure of policies implemented by himself, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi (again).:  Now he’s going around a “do nothing Congress” (see the U.S. Senate, controlled by […]

 

Obama Broken Promises: From ‘No Lobbyists in My Campaign,’ to Hiring Financial Services Lobbyist

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama made a big show in 2008 of attacking evil Washington lobbyists. He campaigned on “change we could believe in” and aimed one of those things to believe in at eliminating lobbyists from Washington. But, it’s just another lie from Obama, in the end. Obama cruised into office with the claim that he’d have […]

Occupy Chicago Sign: ‘Dear Rich Straight White Dudes, F**K Off’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Like the rest of the large cities in the US, Chicago is currently suffering with small pockets of Occupy protesters and their ever-present signs. And like every other big city these signs are often misspelled, sometimes profane, commonly anti-capitalist, occasionally anti-Semitic, almost always anti-American, not to mention merely ignorant of the facts. But one thing […]

 

VIDEO: Suspected Terror Supporter Attacks Jews at Occupy Chicago

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Chicago’s RebelPundit came across some of those nice Occupy Chicago folks wishing good thoughts for all the kind participants at the protest… they kindly wished that Israel be destroyed. Worse, one of the guys these Occupy-Whatevers allowed to speak is a suspected funder of Middle Eastern terrorists. Just like the left, eh? Haters, racists, and […]

 

Occupy Wall Streeters: Communists, Anti-Capitalists And now Rapists?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We know that the Occupy Wall Streeters are extremists in nature and far outside the American norm. We know they are communists, they hate capitalism, they are against the U.S. Constitution, American history and character, and believe in all sorts of wacky, fringe stuff. But thanks to Occupy Cleveland, we now see that they are […]

 

What Are We Protesting Again?

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

As the Occupy Wall Street protesters finish their first month of protests, they seem more confused and disorganized than ever.

Government Kills… Businesses, Anyway

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A small business named Nice Cream found that government wasn’t very nice to its bottom line. In fact, due to its heavy hand, government froze the company into nonexistence. So much for everyone loving ice cream! The other day, while discussing the failures of government unions and their pliant, paid-for, lapdog politicians, one of my […]

 

Slouching Towards Wall Street

Posted on by Kristen Walker

Occupy Wall Street is occupying every pundit’s commentary right now. I’d love to ignore it and focus on something else, but I’m too fascinated by watching the wreckage of civil society mewl and puke in the streets of Manhattan. The Tea Party, a grassroots movement of Americans concerned that the Constitution is being abandoned (and […]

Occupy Wall Street College Grads Should Sue Their Schools

Posted on by Michael Fell

What’s most puzzling about Occupy Wall Street is: a persistent resistance by recent college graduates to acknowledging the cause and effect phenomenon manifested by big government interference in business. When you employ the economic policies of Woodrow Wilson, FDR and Jimmy Carter you’re going to get a lousy economy because you’ve created a climate that’s unfriendly […]
