Prime Time Slime: Larry King Says Sarah Palin Should Pose for Playboy

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I know. I had forgotten that show was still on the air, too. Well, I suppose even Michael Moore needs a show to appear on where he is actually slightly more attractive than the host. Anyway, Larry “I literally am older than dirt” King is at it again. Not content with just exposing his serial […]

 

Republican Governors Association Video: Remember November

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I was going to submit this without comment, because the video speaks for itself. However, it appears that the video is even more effective than I first thought. Allahpundit at Hot Air notes that Time Magazine (I know. I was surprised to learn that it’s still in:  publication, too) is already frothing at the mouth […]

 

Those Delusional ‘Coffee Party’ Lefties

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The self-delusional world in which liberals wallow truly is amazing. It takes an Olympic gymnast’s level of agility to warp your logic enough to think like one of them and a recent report on the left-wing blather site Newsvine is yet one more example of the backbreaking contortions that liberals must indulge to make themselves […]

 

Mitt Romney Wrote the Obamacare Book

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It looks like Mitt Romney is trying to be the GOP front runner for 2012. But he is one of the main influences for Obama’s socialist takeover of America’s healthcare system. Watch this video and remind yourself why we need to eliminate Mitt Romney from any possibility for being the GOP nominee for President in […]

Race Baiting at Philly Tea-Party: Anti-Tea Party Democrats No Better than Fred Phelps?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On March 6, former George H. W. Bush speechwriter Michael Johns was speaking before a tea party gathering in Philadelphia when someone from the audience took exception to the fact that during his address he did not say “President Obama” but merely called him Mr. Obama. The heckler screamed a racial slur at Mr. Johns […]

 

Washington Post Ombudsman Misses Point

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Today, in his guise as the Washington Post’s ombudsman, Andrew Alexander posted a discussion about the recent misreporting by the Old Media about the various “incidents” that supposedly occurred between the admittedly raucous tea party protesters and members of Congress in Washington, D.C., during the healthcare fight. But while Alexander finally makes some admissions on […]

 

Partying Like It’s 1994–Or 1946?

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

Restoring the economic growth of 1994 through 2006 and ending “The Great Recession” — an economy being dragged to a sclerotic halt by “the New New Deal” and its myriad of wasteful spending and top-down government controls, can and should be one of the goals of the next Congress, if indeed, the map is painted red in November.

Posted on by William Teach

Finally, the MSM is waking up to the fact that not all TEA Partiers are whites and right wing extremists. In fact, there are actually Black TEA Partiers They’ve been called Oreos, traitors and Uncle Toms, and are used to having to defend their values. Now black conservatives are really taking heat for their involvement […]

 

David Letterman Finally Exposes the Truth About Tea Partiers

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

The truth was exposed during his excellent interview with Pam Stout, President of Sandpoint, Idaho Tea Party. This is not an April Fools’ Day joke either. David Letterman had Pam Stout, the Sandpoint, Idaho Tea Party President on his show the other night. The result? A very fair and enlightening interview, showing the real face […]

 

Senator Tom Coburn Kicks You Know What

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I’ll say he kicks “arse” so as to make it fancy pants, as befitting one who is made totally of awesome. Switch your vote in exchange for some cushy appointment, as is the Chicago Way? Guess again. The Oklahoma Way will stop you. “I want to send a couple messages to my colleagues in the […]

 

Paul Ryan: ‘We are not governing here today, we are greasing the skids’

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

So said Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) during today’s Budget Committee farce wherein the “shell” bill was passed. It now heads over to be marked up and can include whatever they want, including public option, and can be loaded with earmarks to secure wavering or undecided votes. Like I said last night, everything is now on […]

3rd Annual AFP Defending the Amer. Dream Summit, Wisconsin — Final Report

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Well, I am back home from attending the AFP Defending the American Dream Summit. The speakers were inspiring and the panel on which I sat during one of the break out sessions was really fun.

Senator Scott Brown Delivers Devastating GOP Weekly Address

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Senator Scott Brown Delivers Devastating GOP Weekly Address Associated Press Then ‘Blames’ Senator Brown for Failure to Pass Health Care Bill Last month, I defended Scott Brown on his vote for cloture on the ridiculous jobs bill. While I obviously thought that it was a mistake, I wasn’t ready to break out the pitchforks. Scott […]

 

House Republicans Approve Earmark Ban

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

This is a step in the right direction at curbing spending. You have to start somewhere and pork-barrel spending is a good place to start. While the numbers involved aren’t huge, in relation to total spending, at the very least it means that the GOP is listening and starting to take heed. Usually, one isn’t […]

 

Associated Press Tries to Tie Jim DeMint to the Pentagon Shooter

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

No, really. Not only are members of the media trying to irresponsibly and erroneously tie Joseph Patrick Bedell, a registered Democrat, a Troofer and a total loon, to the “right-wing” in general, but they are now upping the defamation by attempting to libelously imply that the words of Jim DeMint “fed the rage.” Jim. DeMint. […]

 

Tea Party ‘Extremists’ Take Center Stage

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The liberal media’s newest meme is to claim that the tea party movement is made up exclusively of John Birchers, militia types, racists, and “birthers.” Politico, for instance, had an extensive story about how legitimate conservatives are coming to realize that they’ll have to conduct a Buckley styled purge of the extremists if they expect […]

 

Using the System FOR Us: The Freedom Force Strategy

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The National Precinct Alliance is an effort to give tea party folks the guidance to make a difference at home, within their own local political system. This is the only way that we conservatives can influence what is happening in our state government and what is happening in Washington. All our tea party protests are […]

 

Things I Learned Watching The Joy Behar Show

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

Well, actually reading about Joy’s show on sites such as Hot Air and Newsbusters, since like 99.5 percent of America I’ve never actually watched it (except for possibly a few minutes while trapped in an airport). But still, the good work and ingratiating tone of this breakthrough in television programming is getting out, even through osmosis

 

Multiplicity II, Starring Janeane Garofalo As Andie MacDowell

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

During the Bush #43 administration, the left really went to town with their practice of stealing pages from the conservative playbook that they had preceding years. But much like the cloning machine in Michael Keaton’s “Multiplicity”, the copy of a copy of a copy tended to lose more than a little crispness once it had been cloned. Here’s a brief, and very likely incomplete recap

 

Why Did CPAC Snub Mark Levin?

Posted on by Robert Stacy McCain

There’s been a good deal of blog reaction to Mark Levin’s criticism yesterday: of Glenn Beck. My friend Andrea Shea King: accused: Levin: of being: motivated by “envy,” and in support of that thesis quoted my own ruminations about this year’s CPAC lineup. This puts me in a very: awkward position, because I would very much want to be Levin’s friend […]

The Mount Vernon Statement, A Poor Man’s Manifesto… VERY Poor

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A group made up of some of the biggest names in contemporary conservatism got together a few days ago and crafted what they are calling the “Mount Vernon Statement,” a manifesto of sorts meant to give direction to today’s conservative movement. Put succinctly, it fails to fill the bill. Taken as a whole this statement […]
