Idiot Ohio Congressman Bans, Confiscates Devices at Townhall

Posted on August 26, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

I go after the left all the time for opposing free speech and for doing its best to shut down citizens, especially at townhall events. Well here is an example of a Republican doing the same thing. His actions are those I’d instantly condemn were it a left-wing Democrat (but I repeat myself) perpetrating it. […]

Mark Levin: Ron Paul Not A Conservative, Not The Tea Party Founder

Posted on August 15, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

From our friend, Pat Dollard: Mark Levin tells us that Ron Paul is neither a conservative nor is he a founder of the Tea Party movement. (Mark Levin can be heard here in Chicago evenings, 6PM to 9 PM on WLS AM 890). Back on May 14 I also said that Ron Paul is not […]

The Constitution Is Meaningless

Posted on August 13, 2011 by Rich Stowell

Those of us who believe that the Constitution should still be relevant in American policy making have reason to rejoice in the 11th Circuit’s ruling that Obamacare violates our founding document. Liberals, on the other hand, simply dismiss any constitutional argument against the government takeover of the health industry. How, according to the Left, are […]

Rick Perry’s NAFTA Superhighway Problem

Posted on August 12, 2011 by Rachel Alexander

Move over Mitt Romney. Rick Perry has a bigger problem to defend from his tenure as governor. Remember the NAFTA Superhighway project? It was to consist of a two-mile wide $184 billion transit system of toll roads, rail lines and utilities from the Texas-Mexico border all the way up to the Minnesota-Canadian border, to make […]

Cokie Roberts Blames Credit Downgrade on Constitution

Posted on August 8, 2011 by Dave Blount

The liberal establishment media’s propaganda campaign against the Constitution took a plunge into clinical insanity Sunday when ABC’s Cokie Roberts blamed it for the credit downgrade, which in actuality was caused by the runaway government the Constitution was designed to restrain. “…the problem that we have here is the Constitution of the United States of […]

Want Proof of How Democrats Would Shut You Up, Tea Partiers?

Posted on August 8, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

On MSNBC, John Kerry told us that Tea Party ideas are not “real” ideas, not “factual,” and thinks that the media should stop reporting on anything that smacks of ideas or news coming from Tea Partiers. If this isn’t proof of how Democrats and leftists would use the power of government to quash free political […]

Believe In States’ Rights? You’re A Racist

Posted on August 6, 2011August 6, 2011 by William Teach

No, really, says the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Barbara Arnwine, and Janice L. Mathis: States’ Rights Redux: Voting Rights Act + 46 States’ rights is code for discrimination. Isn’t it great how they can read the minds of everyone who believes in the Constitutional provision which provided States with power against the potential tyranny from […]

Freedom of Speech Wins: Baltimore Politician Drops Lawsuit Against Blogger

Posted on August 3, 2011August 5, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Examiner blogger Adam Meister was doing what bloggers do, namely posting the info that “journalists” refuse to write about. In this case, back in March, Meister found that a Baltimore Councilwoman was living in a different district than she claimed she was living in. As a result, the politician tried to sue the blogger for […]

Union Member Fined $300K Just for Finding Work!

Posted on August 1, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The lesson: if you are a union member, better to sit on your rear-end and do nothing than find gainful employment. A poor Chicago-area carpenter who was sick and tired of waiting for his useless union to find him work struck out on his own and got a job with a non-union shop. Big mistake. […]

NY Times: Hey, Obama Should Violate The Constitution And Raise The Debt Ceiling

Posted on July 23, 2011 by William Teach

Well, as to the first part, op-ed contributors Eric A. Posner and Adrian Vermeule state that it would be perfectly Constitutional, and offer an extremely dubious rationale PRESIDENT OBAMA should announce that he will raise the debt ceiling unilaterally if he cannot reach a deal with Congress. Constitutionally, he would be on solid ground. Politically, […]

Video: ‘Cut, Cap, & Balance’ Will Help Stop the Spending Binge That’s Hurting Job Growth

Posted on July 19, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Speaker of the House John Boehner (R, OH) takes his case for the Republican plan to the people. But, whether you like him or agree with him or not, the fact is that the GOP is the only party offering a plan, here. Obama has no plan. He’s made all sorts of vague claims about […]

Rep. Walsh Tells Obama to ‘Quit Lying’ About Soc. Sec.

Posted on July 14, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Illinois Republican Representative Joe Walsh takes it hard to President Obama. Mr. Walsh says that Obama is lying and he wonders if the president even has any clue about how the country works. Walsh asks, “Have you no shame sir?” … It’s about time someone in Washington talks straight about this budget mess. Joe Walsh […]

Democrats Faking Debt Ceiling Crisis in Order to Continue Irresponsible Spending

Posted on July 13, 2011 by Rachel Alexander

President Obama and the Democrats are issuing dire warnings that the U.S. may default on its debts if the debt ceiling is not increased. This is a false threat. If the debt ceiling is not increased by August 2, it is highly unlikely that even one member of Congress would vote to stop paying on […]

Illinois Government Attacks Freedom of Religion

Posted on July 12, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

First Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan tried to have published for public consumption all the names and addresses of every gun owner in her state. Apparently she meant to harass the legal gun owners in her jurisdiction. Now she has launched an effort to harass religious adoption institutions and on the thinnest of pretexts, too. […]

Today’s Democrats and Slaveholders

Posted on July 8, 2011December 30, 2012 by Rich Stowell

In his seminal and ultimately destructive majority opinion in the case of Dred Scott v. Sandford, Chief Justice Roger Taney claimed that the United States Constitution denied a former slave citizenship, and thus standing in federal court. He also construed the Constitution to deny Congress power to regulate the territories with respect to slavery: “The […]

Apparently, There’s Some Deep, Hidden, Scary Meaning Behind “Constitutional Conservative”

Posted on July 7, 2011 by William Teach

The New Republic freaks out over Constitutional Conservatism and Michele Bachmann Michele Bachmann really wants you to know she’s a “constitutional conservative.” The term is featured prominently on her web ads. She mentioned it three times in her announcement speech. It’s in the first sentence of her official bio. But what exactly does it mean? […]

No, John Adams Did Not Pass the First Obamacare Law

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Every few weeks for months now leftist bloggers have been happily touting the “fact” that our second president, John Adams, passed the first “national healthcare law” one that supposedly forced Americans to buy a form of healthcare. Unfortunately for them, this is simply untrue and comparing John Adams’ sailor’s relief act to Obamacare is misleading […]

A New Declaration of Independence for a New Revolution

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

America is fast coming to a crossroads from which there will be no return if we take the wrong path. Do we take the road that leads away from America and toward a Euro-esque way of governing? Do we cast aside our American character and bury our great nation in a grave of socialist-styled authority? […]

Liberal Media Celebrates the Fourth

Posted on July 4, 2011July 6, 2011 by Dave Blount

For patriots, the Fourth of July is an opportunity to celebrate the founding of the greatest country the world has ever seen. For liberals, it’s a time to step up attacks on that founding. The July 4 issue of Time features an appalling cover story calling into question the relevance of the Constitution that has […]

Agenda 21: Conspiracy Theory or Real Threat?

Posted on July 2, 2011 by Rachel Alexander

Americans are so focused on Congress and Obama at the federal level of government right now that most are overlooking the socialism creeping in at the local level through Agenda 21. It is easy to overlook local government since people are saturated with too much information in the internet age. Compounding this is the fact […]

Don’t Film Me Bro: Getting Arrested for Filming People in Public Places

Posted on July 2, 2011July 2, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The law has not caught up with cell phone cameras, Flip Cameras, compact video cameras, and the electronic age. Two stories being reported last weekend prove out how the ubiquity of video capture devices are often a gray area in the law. In one case a woman in Rochester, New York, pulled out her video […]

Why Does Sen. Durbin Think Illegal Aliens Can Become President?

Posted on July 1, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

*Note- I know that John hit this yesterday, but I have a personal story with Sen. Turban to relate… Once again we see a Democrat in Congress that is completely out of touch with, or unknowledgeable about, our U.S. Constitution, the law of the land. This time it’s Senator Dick Durbin that is so contemptuous […]

Chicago’s New Top Cop: A Race Baiter That Stands Against the U.S. Constitution

Posted on June 25, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Once again St. Sabina, the “Catholic” Church on Chicago’s South Side, makes the news for race-baiting and down talking our U.S. Constitution. This time it is Chicago’s new Police Superintendent, Garry McCarthy, who appeared at the church and indulged his inner Father Pfleger with a rant on how the US is filled with racists and […]

Video Interview: Eric O’Keefe and Getting Rid Of Obamacare With The Health Care Compact

Posted on June 21, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Obamacare will sink this country if it is ever allowed to come into full operation. So says Eric O’Keefe, Chairman of Sam Adams Alliance, a Chicago-based, free market organization, and chief advocate for the Health Care Compact, an effort that can replace Obamacare and give us a truly American way to address our healthcare problems.

South Carolina Worker Sues Federal Gov’t Over Possible Loss of His Job

Posted on June 20, 2011June 20, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama’s interference in the business operations of Boeing new Dreamliner manufacturing project will likely cause thousands of workers in South Carolina to lose their jobs. Because of this, one Palmetto State worker is suing the federal government for its part in his probable future job loss. This is a story about Obama’s status as […]

Obama’s New EPA Rules Would Destroy Our Energy Sector

Posted on June 10, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Half of America’s energy comes from coal-fired power plants but Obama’s new EPA rules would about destroy the coal industry driving our energy costs through the roof. That’s not all they would do, either. Even Paul Bedard of USNews says that Obama’s new EPA rules will “slam the coal industry so hard that hundreds of […]

Healthcare: Let The States Decide

Posted on June 9, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The debate about healthcare coming from the Democrats is steeped in purposeful misdirection on one hand and a complete lack of any real knowledge about what Obamacare will even do on the other. It is also a major overreach on a federalism level which is why it is hard to understand why more people aren’t […]

More Dept. Of Education Stormtroopers: They Are Armed With Shotguns! (Seriously!)

Posted on June 9, 2011June 9, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

As William was saying below, there really is more to this story. Yesterday I wrote a short post on the story out of California that was initially reported as a local SWAT raid instigated by the Department of Education on a guy that hadn’t paid his student loans. Naturally I was outraged that the Dept. […]
