Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama is all about saving money, ya know? Why he’s so serious about cutting costs that he’s outsourced to China, Haiti and Bangladesh the manufacture of t-shirts, caps, pens, and other bric-a-brac for the U.S. Census.

This Congressman Doesn’t Know the Constitution

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

What the heck is that old Constitution thingie, anyway? Does anyone in Congress know? Of course we’ve been railing about those leftist members of Congress who both don’t know anything about the Constitution, nor care a whit about it.

Let’s Get Serious About Immigration, Conservatives

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Immigration is a difficult issue for conservatives these days. It is fraught with emotions and passionate feelings. Whenever someone tries to discuss the issue dispassionately, the old canard of “no true Scotsman” is employed against them. But conservatives need to continue to have this discussion and get their ducks in a row on the issue […]

 

I’ll Gladly Take The Constitution Over Precedent

Posted on by Brian Garst

The LA Times gloats that precedent is against the states seeking to protect their sovereignty in the face of Obamacare unconstitutional onslaught.

Washington State Dems Look To Shut Down ObamaCare Lawsuit

Stupak and Lessons Learned: Democrats Lie. Chronically

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Image courtesy of cafepress.com The second lesson that should be learned is that there is no such thing as a Pro-Life Democrat. Partisanship and agendas over-ride all.

Senator Tom Coburn Kicks You Know What

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 […]

VIDEO: Four Key Minutes from Obama’s Failed Healthcare Summit

In Gun Case, Washington Post Rewrites Intent Of Bill Of Rights

Posted on by William Teach

If there is any document out there that is more annoying to people on the Left, it is the Bill of Rights. To them, it is something to be used when it serves their purposes, and denigrated or ignored when it hurts their radical agenda. They read “rights” into it that are not there, and […]

 

Mob Rule, Alive and Well, Despite Coughing on Second-Hand Smoke

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

As I was roaming about the house, muttering under my breath with outrage at yet another “How dare you question The One! Racist Crackers! ” demonization of conservatives, I couldn’t help but think, and thus become further dismayed, that I wasn’t really surprised. It is obvious that few, including Congress, understand that America is a […]

Anti-Gun Government Tyranny in Canada

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Unlike the U.S., Canada does not have the right of self-protection enshrined in its laws.
