CBS’s ‘Medium’ Present A Sheriff Joe Arpaio-Like Character As Rapist-Murderer

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On October 15, the Whodunnit/Psychic series “Medium,” which is set in Phoenix, Arizona, featured a character obviously based on tough-on-crime, real-life Sheriff Joe Arpaio. But instead of presenting him as a tough, but serious lawman, this TV show depicted its Arpaio-like character as a rapist of teen girls as well as a murderer. I guess […]

 

George Soros’ Millions Buying ‘Political Reporters’ For NPR

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left loves to go wild claiming that Ruppert Murdock, a famous conservative, owns a few news outlets. The left is also aghast that well-known righty Roger Ailes guides Fox News. Ailes’s ideology makes of his network a compromised product, they claim. It’s all a travesty of “news,” and “proof” that those agencies are contaminated […]

 

Ignorance of Dems Now Going Too Far

Posted on by Heather Bachman

:  : : : : : : : : : : :  Ignorance. It is a factor of the liberal leadership and has been pretty much accepted by aspects of society such as the media.:  However, Massachusetts Representative Tierney has given another definition to the word as he consistently states he did not know anything regarding his own wife’s involvement in her brother’s illegal business.

Media: Character only Matters if you are a Republican

Posted on by Heather Bachman

“He jumped out of his chair and grabbed her about the neck as he slammed her into the refrigerator. He then grabbed her about both arms, shaking her as they both went over to the kitchen counter, which Mrs. Wilson struck with enough force to take the breath out of her. She then fell to […]

 

David Frum Weasels Out of a Morally-Suspect Corner: The 14 Errors in his Mea Culpa

Posted on by David Swindle

This post cross-posted from NewsReal Blog. I was so eager to forgive David Frum and return to the status quo we had before he believed Alex Knepper’s lies about us. Politically Frum and NewsReal Blog might have some substantive disagreements but on the key issues of support for Israel and a hawkish response to Islamofascism […]

 

Dems Drop Complaint Against Fox for Donating to GOP, Media Mum

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Old Media went into a feeding frenzy when it was revealed that News Corp., the owner of Fox News, had donated $1 million to the Republican Governor’s Association to help GOP candidates this election cycle. The left immediately used this fact as a fundraising meme and the media was thrilled to play the news […]

 

Video: What We Tea Party Conservatives Believe

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Bill Whittle has a great, great video here helping to explain our conservative views in an intelligent, even soft-spoken, style. This is part one of two, the second to come soon. Progressive ideas have always failed and our ideas are successful every time they are tried. Bill Whittle is the host of PJTVs Afterburner.

 

With All Due Respect, Dick Morris Is 100% Wrong About Social Issues No Longer Being Important To Conservatives

Posted on by John Hawkins

Dick Morris is an extremely smart guy who has forgotten more about politics than most people have ever learned, but respectfully, I believe that he has a bad habit of letting his own personal agenda and beliefs warp what should be impartial judgments about the political landscape. His latest column is a classic example of […]

 

Vice President Biden Wants to Strangle Opponents

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On the tail of the Enviro-Nazis making a film depicting children being murdered because they refused to agree to the globaloney religion — showing the left’s inability to brook opposition without resorting to violence or threats of same — Vice President Joe Biden has announced that he’d like to “strangle” any Republican that opposes his […]

 

Levi Johnson Reaches Pinnacle of His Career

Posted on by E. M. Zanotti

Now that Bristol Palin has taken the upper hand with mediocre ballroom dancing (you know she’s mediocre, okay? If you’re a fan of Dancing With the Stars, you know it), Levi Johnston clearly feels he needs to reach new plateaus in his burgeoning fall from fame. This would, of course, explain why he is making […]

 

They Don’t Know Their History at All–This is Elitism Straight Up

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

To understand the frustration of legacy media journalists such as New York Timeso racialist Kate Zernike over the strength of the Tea Parties and the resurgence of Friedrich Hayek and other past voices from the right, let’s paraphrase Janene Garofalo’s infamous rant last year on MSNBC. It’s not about bashing Republicans, it’s not about taxes, they have no idea what the Boston tea party was about, they don’t know their history at all. This is about hating conservatives in America. This is elitism straight up

What the GOP Pledge Reflects and Why We Need To Stand By It

Posted on by Heather Bachman

: : : : : : : : : : :  When the Pledge to America was first announced, it immediately met backlash from the other side of the aisle. President Obama began a tour dedicated specifically to breaking down the plan’s items one by one.:  While to many political strategists, this response may be seen as politics as usual, there are many holes in […]

 

When a Journalist Hasn’t a Clue About the Constitution

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Constitution of the United States of America. Journalist Mary Dejevsky wrote about it, but she sure hasn’t the first clue about what it does, what it means, or why American politics seem to have gone awry. She did get some things correct in her article in Britain’s Independent newspaper but over all she proved […]

 

Shuttering New Jersey Abortion Mills: Another Reason Why Christie is a Hero

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Aside from New Jersey Governor Chris Christie taking the fight to the state’s greedy, education-killing teachers union the Gov has also struck a blow against rampant abortion in the Garden State by taking away state funding to abortion mills. Steven Ertelt reports that at least one Planned Parenthood office is closing down and others are […]

 

Rep. Roskam on The ‘Pledge To America’ (Answers to Earmarks Question)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last week the House Republicans issued their update of the 1994 “Contract With America.” They have labeled it the “Pledge To America,” and it was launched to a standing ovation from House Republicans. On Friday I spoke to Representative Peter Roskam (R, Ill.) and asked a few questions about this new effort. Roskam said that […]

 

Great Patriotic Music Video: I’m An American by John Schwarzman

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For your over night entertainment… John Schwarzman is a conservative from Reston, Virginia and has written and produced a music video that everyone should see. Is there any other country where folks feel this way of their home? I don’t think there is. There’s a reason for that!

 

The libertarian fallacy

Posted on by Ron Coleman

Kevin Williamson at National Review online — the in-house newsletter of the U.S. conservative establishment (comments on columns may be made only during banking hours) — offers up this formulation, which I got to via Instapundit: Some fellow at The Economist has taken me to task for my description of socialism and communism: “The difference […]

 

No, Thank You. I Don’t Want A Gender Card.

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Conservative women neither want nor need a gender card, yet:  some seem hell-bent on forcing one upon us. It is one thing to correctly point out blatant sexism and the outright misogyny of the Left, particularly that of the so-called feminist Left. But it’s quite another to make up sexism out of whole cloth. Which […]

 

It’s Moronic For Conservatives To Call For A “Truce” On Social Issues

Posted on by John Hawkins

First it was Mitch Daniels who was out in public saying we need a “truce” on moral issues. This was an extraordinarily dumb thing for a man who wants to be President to say because many people, myself included, stuck him in the “I don’t know whom I’m supporting in 2012, but it won’t be […]

 

Newt Gingrich: Winning in ’10 Means Utilizing the Power of 10

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Joe Biden has been telling everyone that will listen to him that the summer of 2010 was “recovery summer.” In a way he was right, but only if we take up the banner and drive the socialists out of office in November. If we can get as many good conservatives and Republicans in office in […]

 

Al Sharpton’s Followers Call Whites ‘The Devil,’ Al Says, ‘Don’t Worry About it’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Al Sharpton is all about stopping the “hate,” isn’t he? At least that’s what he always claims. So how did he react when his own supporters started calling white people “the devil” when a BBC reporter was interviewing him several years ago? He said whites should “ignore it” and “don’t worry about it.” Not only […]

 

Smart Girl Summit 2010: Mama Grizzlies In The Wild

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

If you rely on leftist blogs or even the alleged mainstream media, you’d think that Mama Grizzlies/conservative women are actually some strange form of wildlife to be peered at curiously. For some, making sport of them has become a hobby. Instead of seeing the caricature made of them by the “Press,” why not come meet […]

 

Tim Scott Celebrates His Birthday…And a Whole Lot More

Posted on by Susannah Fleetwood

[The above photo is of me and Tim Scott.] This past Friday evening, a party was thrown in honor of Tim Scott’s forty-fifth birthday. As many of you are already aware, Mr. Scott recently won the Republican nomination for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District after a grueling and hard-fought race–therefore, this party was long over […]

Unions Struggling to Get Members to Rally Behind Dems

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

When voters are not enthused even unions find it harder to get their supporters to rally to an election and this is one of the worst years for Democrats on record. Unions are finding their efforts hard slogging just like the rest of the Democrat Party is. It’s so bad even The New York Times […]
