E.J. Dionne Works Hard To Spin A Possible Defeat Of The Individual Mandate

Posted on March 29, 2012 by William Teach

As we await the decision from the Supreme Court regarding the Mandate, and perhaps even the striking down of Obamacare, liberals are searching hard for ways to show that the problem wasn’t the law, but with the people who rule on the law. I highlighted a bit of that yesterday. And here comes ultra-liberal E.J. […]

Comparison: Politico Lauds ‘Forceful’ Gov’t Obamacare Argument, Fox Notes it was Laughed At

Posted on March 28, 2012March 27, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

The first arguments by the government in support of the already wildly over budget Obamacare law were heard at the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday and there is an interesting lesson in media bias that can be seen in the reporting of the day’s presentation. The difference between how the government’s opening arguments was reported […]

The Tea Party vs The Status Quo

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

Much has been said since the November 2010 election about “establishment Republicans” co-opting Senators and Representatives elected with Tea Party support. What “establishment Republicans” evidently refuse to accept is, every Republicans elected in November 2010 owes huge thanks to the Tea Party. “Establishment Republicans” need to understand that Tea Party grassroots activists have had enough […]

More obamacare Lies

Posted on March 16, 2012December 30, 2012 by Michael Fell

“obamacare” was sold on a lie and passed against the wishes of the majority of Americans. To make matters worse, in an unprecedented move, the man who administers Medicare and Medicaid was appointed in a clearly obvious move to bypass the Constitutional provision for Legislative oversight. You won’t be keeping your healthcare and your doctor […]

Mayor Emanuel Puts Himself in GOP Primary Race, Joins ‘Republican War on Women’ Lie

Posted on March 16, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Mayor Emanuel has not left Barack Obama. This is clear with his latest foray into national political issues by joining Obama’s orchestrated “Republican war on women” lie that has been drummed up to take America’s attention away from Obama’s monumental failures as president. To help his old boss, Emanuel decided to pipe up about Rush […]

Berkeley Storm Troopers: Don’t Write What The Police Don’t Like or Else

Posted on March 14, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

If police chiefs send armed officers to a journalist’s door because he didn’t like what was written abut him, would you feel just a tad uncomfortable as an American at the audacity? This is no academic discussion because it really happened. Not in what liberals may claim is the dangerous, intolerant south but instead in […]

CNN: Even Evil Guys Like Rush Deserve Their Free Speech Rights

Posted on March 13, 2012 by William Teach

Think I’m kidding about the evil part? Alas, no (CNN) Editor’s note: Marc J. Randazza is a Las Vegas based First Amendment attorney. He is licensed to practice in Arizona, California, Florida, Massachusetts and Nevada. He is the editor of the law blog, The Legal Satyricon. I despise Rush Limbaugh. I despise almost everything I […]

This is What Guns Were Made For

Posted on March 12, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

One of the main purposes for guns in the American philosophy is certainly a controversial idea. It is an aspect of the Second Amendment that few people today are comfortable talking about, but, uncomfortable or no, it is a major factor in the necessity and usefulness of the Second Amendment in our founding father’s experience.

Walter B. Jones Submits Obama Impeachment Bill To Congress Over Panetta Syria Remarks

Posted on March 12, 2012 by William Teach

Don’t get too excited one way or the other: it calls for impeachment if the Obama admin. seeks international/NATO permission to attack Syria before coming to Congress (WND) Let the president be duly warned. Rep. Walter B. Jones Jr., R-N.C., has introduced a resolution declaring that should the president use offensive military force without authorization […]

Who’s Afraid of an Article V Amendments Convention?

Posted on March 11, 2012 by Rachel Alexander

Every so often talk arises about holding an Article V Amendments convention amongst the states to amend the Constitution, since Congress has become increasingly unaccountable. In reaction, dire warnings spring up declaring that a “constitutional convention,” or “con con,” could result in a runaway convention where radical changes are made that fundamentally rewrite our Constitution. […]

DC Deputy Mayor: Dear Victims of Crime, Better You Are Beaten, Raped, Stolen From Than You Protect Yourself

Posted on March 6, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Washington D.C.’s Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice wants you all to just stop whining about the rising crime in his fair city. He wants you to continue being a victim and like it. Not only that, but he thinks it’s a good thing that you should become a victim. Better that than protecting […]

ACLU On Targeted Killing: We’re Cool With Obama, But, We Don’t Trust Future Presidents

Posted on March 6, 2012 by William Teach

On first blush, I wrote the headline to reflect that it was weird for the ACLU to even attack Holder and Obama. How often do they do that? Not that often, and, the attacks are generally soft. They haven’t even bothered with Fast and Furious. On targeted killing, yes, they ACLU has been all over […]

Rush Limbaugh Is Not The Problem

Posted on March 4, 2012December 30, 2012 by Michael Fell

This is not a defense of Rush Limbaugh. Rush can take care of himself. This is about a much bigger problem within a much bigger picture. Have you seen the latest hit piece on Yahoo’s Destination 2012 web-site by David Crary of the Associated Press? Not surprisingly, this latest salvo is aimed directly at Rush […]

The Gettysburg Address Today

Posted on March 2, 2012December 30, 2012 by Michael Fell

On June 1, 1865, Senator Charles Sumner commented on what is now considered the most famous speech by President Abraham Lincoln. In his eulogy on the slain president, he called it a “monumental act.” He said Lincoln was mistaken that “the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here.” Rather, the Bostonian […]

Tax Law Provision Could Keep Supreme Court From Making Obamacare Decision Till 2015

Posted on February 22, 2012 by William Teach

Perhaps this is one of the reasons Team Obama is arguing that the mandate is a tax (USA Today) Next month’s challenge to the Obama-sponsored health care law could affect the care available to most Americans, alter the balance of power between Washington and the states and remain a flash point through this presidential campaign. […]

Time: “Our social contract requires that we must occasionally stomach government policies that offend and outrage us”

Posted on February 20, 2012 by William Teach

Of course, this is all about the contraceptive, sterilization, and abortifacient mandate (Time Magazine – Erika Christakis) There was lots of excitable talk last week about birth control, with President Obama dialing back his initial plan for mandating contraceptive coverage to exempt employers who object to such coverage on religious grounds. In those cases, the […]

Tyranny

Posted on February 17, 2012December 30, 2012 by Michael Fell

Of late, much has been made about the current administration’s attack on First Amendment Rights. Attacks have been made on religious liberties (see healthcare mandate on contraception in religious affiliated institutions) http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/12/us/catholic-bishops-criticize-new-contraception-proposal.html and freedom of the press (see White House and Media Matters coordinate attacks on FOX News) http://dailycaller.com/2012/02/12/inside-media-matters-sources-memos-reveal-erratic-behavior-close-coordination-with-white-house-and-news-organizations/ While it may be correct to […]

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 […]

An Obama Compromise On ObamaCare Contraception Requirement?

Posted on February 8, 2012 by William Teach

Let’s start off with this from LauraW at Ace Of Spades Did Catholic organizations support Obamacare because they either assumed or were told that they would get an exception based on their religious beliefs? Because if that is true, then essentially they agreed to support an infringement on others’ freedoms just so long as their […]

Supreme Court Justice Ginsberg To Egypt: “Don’t Look To That Stuffy Old US Constitution As A Model”

Posted on February 3, 2012February 3, 2012 by William Teach

MEMRI has the video of an interview with sitting US Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg with Al-Hayat TV on January 30, 2012. From the transcript I can’t speak about what the Egyptian experience should be, because I’m operating under a rather old constitution. The United States, in comparison to Egypt, is a very new […]

Bob Beckel, You Are Wrong

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 […]

Wisconsin School Punishes Christian Kid for Being a… Christian Kid

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Superintendent Todd Carlson of Shawano High School in Shawano, Wisconsin is sorry a student observed his First Amendment rights and had his article published in the school newspaper that denounces homosexuals adopting children. And so Superintendent Carlson is making amends by punishing this Christian kid for being so darn Christian. Superintendent Carlson has also decided […]

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 […]

An Open Letter to the Occupiers from Generation X

Posted on January 20, 2012January 20, 2012 by Rachel Alexander

To the Occupy movement: I know some of you mean well. I even share some of your concerns. The dismal economy has made it difficult to find a good job with benefits. Meanwhile, the government is bailing out the wealthy banks and mortgage lenders that helped precipitate this depressed economy. I hear your frustrations about […]

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 […]

The NDAA Power Grab

Posted on January 5, 2012 by Michael Fell

Much is being made about the most recent power grab by the White House. Specifically, Wednesday’s bypassing of the Senate to install three members to the National Labor Relations Board and the appointment of Richard Cordray as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. In order to justify and defend these actions, “progressives” argue that […]

Obama Breaks With Constitution, Appoints Cordray, 3 To NLRB

Posted on January 5, 2012 by William Teach

Let’s not forget, part-time Senator Barack Obama said of recess appointments “‘It’s the wrong thing to do” and a recess appointee is ‘damaged goods… we will have less credibility.’ Except, Congress isn’t actually in recess (The Hill) Obama infuriated Republicans Wednesday by announcing the recess appointment of Richard Cordray to be the first director of […]

Mitt Romney: My Mass. Healthcare Plan Is ‘Fundamentally Conservative’

Posted on December 29, 2011December 29, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Romney did it again. On Fox News he linked Romneycare to conservative principles, an outrageous act in the eyes of any conservative. But hold the boat, people, because Romney didn’t exactly say that Romneycare itself is a conservative policy. And therein lies the weasel words that Romney has used to describe the Massachusetts healthcare plan […]
