So They Called Him Hitler, So What? Grow Up, The Both of You!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

You know, I am about sick to death of this childish back and forth between the unhinged left and the oh-so-outraged right on the name calling issue, especially where it concerns the use of the name of humanity’s most evil villain, Hitler. Yeah, they said (put latest politician here) is Hitler. But so what? Let’s […]

 

Getting Rich Off the Taxpayers: School Administrators Double Dipping Pensions

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It must be nice to work for the government. Sadly it’s the most lucrative way to make a living in American history. To “win life’s lottery” all you have to do is get a job with the government — whether the federal or state government — at practically any level and voila, welcome to easy […]

 

Great: One of the Most Violent Union Thugs Now Appearing With Thug Teachers in Wisconsin

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka has decided to flock to the side of thug Wisconsin teachers on Friday. This should not be much of a surprise. Trumka understands that this battle could serve to galvanize anti-union sympathies all across the country, and rightfully so. With the hate and “violent rhetoric” being employed by these thug teachers […]

 

New ACU Chief Al Cardenas Puts Ron Paul on Notice

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The American Conservative Union (ACU) is the entity that runs the biggest annual conservative event, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Next year CPAC will be headed by a new face, Al Cardenas. Now former Chairman David Keene turns over the reigns to Cardenas after the 2011 CPAC event. Cardenas has a compelling story, indeed. […]

 

Union Thug Whines That People Are Mistreating Union Thugs

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This one is hilarious. Union chief James P. Hoffa of the Teamsters has an op ed in the Detroit News where he’s crying that everyone is turning against unions these days. Yes, ole Jimmy is yelling, “leave unions alone!” Hoffa’s headline whines out, “American ills not caused by unions.” We call that a straw man […]

 

How Obama’s Big Labor Pals Warp the System

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last September the Senate refused to reverse a rules change made out of pocket by Obama’s National Mediation Board. The rule change reversed a 75-year-old practice and made it possible to unionize a company even if less than half of its employees wanted to be unionized. Previous to the rules change, any company in the […]

 

Palin Gives Time A Few Minutes of Her Time About Its False ‘Reporting’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The media is so sure that only the worst about Palin could possibly be true that false stories, out right lies, and even comedy bits are constantly presented as actual news. Time Magazine is the latest to fall into that trap by reporting a satirical Internet posting about Sarah Palin as hard news. It all […]

 

Different Names, Same ACORN Moonbattery and Corruption

Posted on by Dave Blount

Did you think the O’Keefe/Giles revelations of criminal degeneracy finally put a stake through the heart of Comrade Obama’s alma mater ACORN? Think again: As the remnants of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now regroup in order to bring chaos to the 2012 election cycle, ACORN’s renamed New York chapter is teeming with […]

 

Union Boss Says Advocates for Spending Cuts are ‘Mentally Retarded’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In a perfect example of why unions are the biggest problem for government budget reform, John Gage, President of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), has just pronounced anyone that wants to cut the overly generous pay, benefits, and pensions of government employees are “mentally retarded.” This is the to-the-hilt fight that the unions […]

 

Government Rail to the Edge of the Abyss

Posted on by Dave Blount

Compliments of Cons.Underground. From now until the day our entire economy collapses under the weight of government debt is a wonderful time to be a corrupt bureaucrat or crony capitalist, as made obvious by Comrade Obama’s recently announced “high speed” rail boondoggle: At Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station on Tuesday, lifelong government rail promoter Vice President […]

 

More of Rahm’s Union Troubles

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In the race for the Chicago Mayor’s office we have seen quite a lot of evidence that Chicago’s union bosses are not big Rahm Emanuelites. This week we got another hint in that direction as several more unions came out in support of Emanuel’s most serious opponent, Gery Chico. The Chico campaign added a group […]

 

Now THERE’S Chutzpah: Obama Claims He hasn’t Raised Taxes?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

John Kartch over at Americans for Tax Reform found President Obama’s claim that he hasn’t raised taxes a bit, shall we say, quixotic. At one point in the interview with Obama conducted by Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly and shown on Sunday, Obama stated bald faced that he didn’t do so. The truth seems to be […]

 

More Evidence that Centrists Democrats Are Dead

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Ben Smith of POLITICO is reporting that the Democrat leadership Council is on it’s last paws and about to go belly up. This is one more little hint that the centrist, the moderate, or the “Blue Dog” Democrat is truly an extinct animal in America today. The Donkey’s big tent is more like a birdcage […]

 

Tennessee County School Board Fires Teachers Union

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Now this is more like it. Back in October of 2010 the Summer County, Tennessee School Board decertified the Sumner County Education Association (SCEA), the union for county teachers, because it no longer satisfied the law by counting as members fifty percent plus one of the total number of employees requiring a teaching certificate. This, […]

 

Union Fights to Force You into Obamacre While Getting Waivers for Itself

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is one of Obama’s biggest donors. Curiously enough, the SEIU is also one of the more than 700 unions and corporations that have gotten waivers from the Obama administration to get out from under some of the oppressive rules of Obamacare. Yet, even as they have been allowed to […]

 

Rachel Maddow’s Reason For Being Duped by Satire Website: It’s Conservatives Fault

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remember when you were a kid and you got caught doing something you shouldn’t have been doing? Remember when you were confronted with your wrong doing that your first response was to blame everyone else? Well, that is very common for a child… or for a liberal, apparently. At least it is for MSNBC’s left-wing […]

 

Detroit’s City Council Still Raking It In

Posted on by Dave Blount

Even with Detroit in ruins, and nature reclaiming the abandoned wasteland that was once a great city, the Dems who destroyed it continue to make out like the bandits they are: Detroit’s City Council is one of the most expensive in the nation, according to a survey released Wednesday of the nation’s largest cities. Detroit […]

 

First Obamacare Waivers Now EPA Rules Waivers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Obama Administration is quickly becoming the most corrupt administration in American history. Recently we reported about the mounting number of waivers that Obama is giving his union pals and union supporters so that they can get away from having to suffer under his Obamacare law and now the president’s jobs-killing greenhouse gas rules levied […]

 

Romney: Nope, I’m NOT Apologizing for Romneycare!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

After all these years in politics, Mitt Romney has finally found something he isn’t going to flip flop on — so far, anyway. Romney recently started a tour to kick off the release of his latest book and when asked if he was sorry he ever signed his name on the Massachusetts healthcare law derided […]

 

British Police Afraid of Local Kids, Soon to Come to the USA?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A British police chief has prohibited his own officers from patrolling a local park after dark because he and his fellows are afraid of the punks and trouble makers that infest the place at night. Thanks to a self-destructive and blind obeisance to PCism Britain has truly become an asylum run by the inmates. But […]

 

Senate Republicans Call for Vote on a Repeal of Obamacare for Wednesday

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R, KY) announced on Tuesday that he intends to bring to the floor a vote to repeal Obamacare on Wednesday. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid certainly does not want this vote to occur but even so it is highly doubtful that McConnell can get the 60 votes needed to sustain […]

 

Jim DeMint…. A Squish?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

David Weigel’s recent Slate piece on Jim DeMint (R, SC) is a perfect example of a gentle leftwing undertone sprinkled into a story like seasoning salt in order to gently spin a story to negatively effect conservatives, or at the very least to artificially heighten tensions in order to make it seem as if conservatives […]

 

A Snap Shot of Congressional Arrogance

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

POLITICO posted a piece last week that shows the arrogance of our duly elected Senators in Washington D.C. After reading this piece, one gets the impression that this good old boys club is not only one that not just anyone is allowed to join but one that finds itself beyond even the voters that put […]

 

Remember: Obamacare is Great… Well Unless You Are a Union, Then You Don’t Have to Suffer Under it

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If you’ll recall, Big Labor was one of the biggest cheerleaders for Obamacare. Big Labor was insistent that Obama’s take over of our nation’s healthcare was the best thing since sliced bread, to be sure. But once Obamacare got passed into law, we’ve learned that dozens of unions have sought exemptions to get out from […]

The Left’s Lying Liars Trying to Smear Michelle Bachmann’s Tea Party Response

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left’s latest unfair, false, and downright scurrilous attack on Michelle Bachmann focuses on her Tea Party response video aired after President Obama’s State of the Union speech last week. I am a bit late to this story, I realize, but I wanted to get it aired here regardless. The left’s claim is that Michelle […]

As We Lose Our Jobs, Unionized CA College Profs Want More

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Without question we are living through the worst economic times in generations and Barack Obama’s policies aren’t helping alleviate the pain. Pain is, indeed, the watchword, too.
