Canada’s tax revenues steady as they lowered corporate tax rates

Posted on March 15, 2012March 14, 2012 by Wintery Knight

Canada: Corporate tax cuts, not stimulus spending From the: Daily Caller. Excerpt: The chart shows Canada’s federal corporate tax revenues as a share of gross domestic product (GDP) and the federal corporate tax rate. The tax rate plunged from 38 percent in 1980 to just 15 percent by 2012. Amazingly, there has been no obvious drop […]

Shock Poll: Online Liberals Most Intolerant

Posted on March 14, 2012 by William Teach

Let’s face it, most people on-line can get a bit nasty at times, especially when discussing politics. I remember my first foray into on-line politics, where I skirted the rules at NJ.com discussing 9/11 with a liberals who thought we not only deserved it, but that 9/11 was no big deal. We all get snippy. […]

What Now Passes as Today’s “News”

Posted on March 12, 2012December 30, 2012 by Michael Fell

Monday March 12, 2012…Today’s “news” begins with the headline: The Most Aired Political Campaign Ads. A sub-headline reads: Obama’s “Unprecedented” commercial was shown 6,190 times before Super Tuesday. At first, by mentioning campaign ads from multiple candidacies, this article flirts with the idea of integrity. A flirtation which disappointingly dissolves in the face of the […]

Update on New York Redistricting and NY25

Posted on March 9, 2012March 9, 2012 by Lonely Conservative

Since a federal judge proposed: a map that’s sane, there hasn’t been much going on as far as the process of redistricting here in New York. But the plight of Congresswoman Ann Marie Buerkle is getting some national attention.: The Daily Caller: reported that : Republicans in the New York Senate didn’t do Rep. Buerkle any favors when they […]

The Rush Limbaugh Boycott Is A Miserable Failure. Ha, Ha, Ha!

Posted on March 8, 2012March 8, 2012 by John Hawkins

Oh, the Left was so happy. This time, they were finally going to get Rush Limbaugh! He had made the mistake of calling a left-wing activist a slut. While in most cases, calling a woman a slut or a whore is way over-the-line, it didn’t acttually seem all that inappropriate in this case. Personally, I […]

False Fronts: Obama Still Pretending Fluke is an Innocent Kid

Posted on March 7, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

If you want to see how the left skews the narrative using untrue claims and false imagery to sell a message, you don’t need any other example than President Obama’s recent press conference where he continued to perpetrate the myth that Sandra Flake is somehow an innocent coed, a kid barely out of high school, […]

Our Long National Nightmare Is Over: Rush Apologizes Over Slut Comment

Posted on March 4, 2012 by William Teach

Whew! (Rush Limbaugh) For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week. In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke. I think it is absolutely absurd that during these […]

Worst President Ever: Obama’s Intimidation Tactics Continue

Posted on March 3, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Obama and his campaign apparatus have been filling the minds of possible campaign donors with calumnies and untruths about the left’s newest, favorite whipping boys: the Koch brothers. Typical of left-wing demagogues, most of what Obama has been saying about the two libertarian leaning businessmen is simply untrue. But that doesn’t seem to stop him […]

Is Rick Santorum Really the Most Conservative Presidential Candidate?

Posted on March 1, 2012 by Rachel Alexander

The anyone-but-Romney conservatives have currently latched onto Rick Santorum as their candidate du jour, providing him with a surge shortly into the Republican primary elections. But is he really that conservative? Santorum is known for taking strong stands on social issues like abortion and gay marriage. As a result of his outspokenness on the sanctity […]

Who’s Offering Economic Solutions?

VIDEO: Brian K. Hill for U.S. Senate From Connecticut

Posted on February 25, 2012February 25, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

The next in my Challenger Series of videos shot with new candidates I met at CPAC 2012 is Brian K. Hill a candidate for the U.S. Senate from Connecticut. I found Mr. Hill to be a serious-minded candidate, sure in his positions, comfortable in his skin, hard-charging, and quick with a sure-footed answer to my […]

A Moment with Rep. Allen West at CPAC 2012

Posted on February 19, 2012February 19, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

The conservative bloggers at CPAC were happy to receive a visit from Representative Allen West (Florida, 22nd District) this year. The second he walked into the room he was mobbed by the bloggers and their ubiquitous handi-cams. West talked vice presidential possibilities, South America, his status as the most outspoken congressman on the Hill, military […]

Newspapers Defend Their Crony Capitalism: Outdated Monopoly on Public Notices

Posted on February 17, 2012February 17, 2012 by Rachel Alexander

Ever wonder why taking out a public notice costs so much money? It shouldn’t be that way. With the demise of print newspapers, it no longer makes sense to require that public notices be published only in newspapers. More people have access to the internet now than subscribe to print newspapers. Yet print newspapers have […]

Liberal Tactics: Just Lie, No One Will Check!

Posted on February 16, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

I have to say, at this point I am convinced that no one on the left really hates racism. In fact, they love it as it is their most important tool with which to control gullible voters. Cry racism and their mind-numbed acolytes dutifully echo the charge whether it is true or not — and […]

My 5 Favorite Pictures from CPAC 2012

Posted on February 15, 2012 by Alexa Shrugged

From Alexa Shrugged: Ok, considering I only took about 20 pictures, this listing could have been better. I was so lame at CPAC this year that I didn’t even see John Hawkins long enough to make it into his post The CPAC 2012 Experience: 43 Pictures like I have in years past! I worked and […]

VIDEO: Utah’s Mia Love at CPAC

Posted on February 14, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

The first in my “Challengers” series of interviews I conducted with up-and-coming candidates running across the country. Here I interview candidate for Utah’s 4th Congressional District, Mia Love. One of the things she likes to say is that “according to the left, I am not supposed to exist.” That because she is a strong, conservative, […]

Cleta Mitchell: GOP Super-Lawyer

Posted on February 13, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Without question Tea Partiers are unhappy with the elites of Washington D.C. Yet Cleta Mitchell is one Washingtonian that has became a welcome addition to the campaigns of some high profile Tea Party candidates. Mrs. Mitchell, you see, is the in-demand, bulldog election law attorney that many Tea Party candidates go to when things began […]

Romney Wins CPAC And Maine

Posted on February 12, 2012 by William Teach

A good night for Mitt (Washington Times) Mitt Romney won The Washington Times/CPAC Presidential Straw Poll on Saturday, and also nipped Rick Santorum as the top choice of conservatives nationwide, according to a new version of the poll conducted for the first time this year that suggests Mr. Romney retains strong support among self-identified conservatives.

Rick Santorum’s Sweep Changes the Race

Posted on February 8, 2012December 30, 2012 by Michael Fell

As the final Colorado vote counts were coming in late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning, confirming that Rick Santorum scored a hat trick against his Republican competitors, it was becoming clear that a sea change is occurring within the GOP race. More than before, it’s now arguable that the inevitability of Mitt Romney’s candidacy is a […]

CPAC

I’m going to be at CPAC this week so posts from me may be a bit sporadic. If you’re attending CPAC, let me suggest some events you may want to check out. Thurs. 1:00 PM EST Conservative Dating — McKinley (My friend Wayne Elise is running this and I guarantee you it’ll be a lot […]

Many Conservatives Were Shocked By Ann Coulter

Posted on February 7, 2012February 7, 2012 by Steve Baldwin

I was going to blog about Romney’s recent flip-flops on the minimum wage issue and bilingual education — flip-flop #36 and #37, but when I saw Ann Coulter’s recent column praising RomneyCare, I have to admit, I just lost it. She called RomneyCare “free-market” and claims it’s a “conservative” approach to health care. Apparently, the […]

It’s like all you Tea Partying climate realists are conspiracy nuts or something (via Tom Nelson) Said story: Activists Fight Green Projects, Seeing U.N. Plot Across the country, activists with ties to the Tea Party are railing against all sorts of local and state efforts to control sprawl and conserve energy. They brand government action […]

Bob Beckel, You Are Wrong

Posted on January 31, 2012December 30, 2012 by Michael Fell

For those who’re unaware of the big dust up stirred by Fl Rep Allen West, here’re the remarks he made at a Lincoln Day Dinner in West Palm Beach Fl: “We need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and my dear friend the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, we need to let […]

Why obama is Toast

Posted on January 26, 2012December 30, 2012 by Michael Fell

This just in from the Associated Press: The Commerce Department said Thursday new-home sales fell last month to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 307,000. The pace is less than half the 700,000 that economists say must be sold in a healthy economy. About 302,000 homes were sold last year. That’s […]

Angry Newt?

Posted on January 23, 2012December 30, 2012 by Michael Fell

A consensus seems to have been reached across the network/cable/dish television sphere that Newt Gingrich’s unexpected success in the South Carolina primary was due to his being angry at and telling off members of the “elite media” during the two South Carolina GOP Debates. The “elite media”? What the heck is the “elite media”? Does […]

Guilt By Association Used by Old Media Only to Hurt Republicans

Posted on January 23, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Last week two political operatives were arrested in separate incidents, one Democrat and one Republican. It certainly isn’t news that political operatives sometimes break the law, but how the different incidents were reported is typical of how the Old Media establishment uses guilt by association to tar Republicans but rarely does the same thing to […]

Does Mitt Romney’s Romneycare health care plan fund abortion with taxpayer dollars?

Posted on January 20, 2012January 20, 2012 by Wintery Knight

Fred Thompson made the point about Romneycare and abortion during the 2008 campaign, and Politifact: agreed with Fred’s charge against Romney. Excerpt: Fred Thompson’s campaign is trying to take the much-touted health insurance program that Mitt Romney helped create as governor of Massachusetts and turn it into a liability with conservative Republican voters who dominate the […]

An Open Letter To Newsweek Magazine

Posted on January 19, 2012December 30, 2012 by Michael Fell

It goes beyond nauseatingly putrid that your once fine magazine has regressed into nothing more than a blatantly obvious propaganda tool of the unconstitutional, anti-American, fringe “progressive” Marxist agenda. On exactly what basis are you so eminently qualified as to make the determination that Patriotic Americans who want our country to follow the original intent […]

In Canada, a revolt against global warming socialism creates an economic boom

Posted on January 19, 2012January 19, 2012 by Wintery Knight

Before we look at Canada, let’s first look at how Barack Obama has decided to appease his green socialism supporters by: rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline. Excerpt: The Obama administration rejected the long-delayed: TransCanada: oil sands crude project, a decision welcomed by environmental groups but: blasted: by the domestic energy industry. After delaying the project past the November 2012 election, […]
