Are We Wasting Our Brightest Minds?

Posted on by John Hawkins

The most disturbing passage in “Physics of the Future” doesn’t concern the future; it’s about the present. In that passage, Mr. Kaku recounts a lunchtime conversation with physicist Freeman Dyson at Princeton. Mr. Dyson described growing up in the late days of the British Empire and seeing that most of his smartest classmates were not—as […]

 

Most Lawless President Ever: Hiding Lobbyist Meetings, Refusing to Prosecute Laws, Ignoring Duties

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In 2008 Obama ran for president claiming that he wanted to make Washington more transparent than ever. Obama ran as the law-and-order man, he ran as the anti-lobbyist man, and he ran as the man for all the people, the great centrist that would finally work for the people. He ran saying that Bush was […]

 

Socializing the Cost of Sexual Mutilation

Posted on by Dave Blount

MSNBC crows with joy that politically correct corporations have been forcing their employees to finance bizarre sexual mutilation procedures by covering them under insurance policies as if they were medically necessary. With little fanfare, more and more large corporations, including Coca-Cola, Campbell Soup and Walt Disney, have expanded their insurance coverage to meet the needs […]

 

The book Americans aren’t allowed to buy

Posted on by Ron Coleman

Two years ago I expressed my own criticism, and later: rounded up a number of other views, of the case brought by J.D. Salinger against a “sequel” to The Catcher in the Rye written by Fredrik Colting. : Last year, in a guest post, Matthew David Brozik added his own thoughts on the topic — right on […]

[A big thank you to Richard Hornsby for the photo] This past Wednesday through Saturday, The American Conservative Union sponsored the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC.

Moonbat Romance

Posted on by Dave Blount

Valentine’s Day is as good a time as any to examine the current state of romance in once great Britain, the canary in the coalmine of moonbattery: In this day and age, when a thrice-married former fireman who has become a woman meets a Jamaican lesbian chef online there can only be one outcome — […]

 

Children Commune With Sacred Polar Bears

Posted on by Dave Blount

Mmmm. Lunch. What could go wrong? At the Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat in Cochrane, Ontario, children are invited to swim inside a wading pool attached to a polar bear enclosure, getting as close to the Coca Cola mascot as safety, and five centimeters of shatterproof glass, permit. If enough people grow up thinking of these […]

 

British Public Schools to Push Homosexual Curriculum

Posted on by Dave Blount

The totalitarian moonbattery that holds sway in British public schools has taken the final plunge into absurdity with a curriculum that features gay math, geography, and science. No matter what the subject, kids will be taught to revere the depraved and disease-spreading homosexual lifestyle. Examples: Maths — teaching statistics through census findings about the number […]

 

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 […]

 

Planned Parenthood Funding A Defacto Abortion Tax on America

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

With the anniversary of Roe v. Wade it is the perfect time to highlight the fact that the millions upon millions of federal tax dollars that have gone to fund the abortion mill organization Planned Parenthood is a defacto abortion tax levied on the American taxpayers. In 2008 alone, Planned Parenthood received nearly $350 million […]

 

Jaw, Jaw and Bromides: Obama’s State of His Next Campaign for President Address

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I sat through President Obama’s 2011 State of the Union Address last night. During the event I live Tweeted the whole thing (You can read that all at http://twitter.com/#!/warnerthuston) and ended up with an empty feeling and a headache. Obama’s address was long on calls for spending, filled with bromides, and weighted with jaw, jaw […]

 

Movie: For Overseas Distribution ‘Captain America’ Won’t Be Captain America

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The venerable Marvel comic book character Captain America has been, well, “Captain America” since 1941. But as of the 2011 release of the new movie “Captain America: The First Avenger,” he won’t be Captain American anymore. At least as far as the film’s title overseas goes, anyway. Apparently, Hollywood thinks a character called “Captain America” […]

 

Arkansas And N.Y. Look To Play Nanny With Distracted Pedestrians

Posted on by William Teach

Having solved all their actual issues, it’s time for a big dose of nannyism Lawmakers in at least two states are looking to pull the plug on texting pedestrians and iPod-obsessed runners, claiming their diverted attention borders on disaster. After targeting drivers who paid more attention to their phone calls and text messages than the […]

 

Leftists Use Crosshairs to Attack Walmart Over Unionization

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remember that “new tone” the left keeps talking about? Remember how they went ape-nuts over Sarah Palin’s use of crosshairs symbols on her electoral campaign map? That was “violent,” the left claimed. That was lowering the level of debate, they chirped. It was evil, they slobbered. Well, I guess the left isn’t too upset at […]

 

Chicago Media Ignores African-American Rally Against Same-Sex Marriage

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised that a rally held by a coalition of Chicago-area black pastors that gathered to warn Illinois against same-sex marriage and civil unions was ignored by the Old Media in Chicago. Still, as unsurprising as it it, it’s a bit galling that this event went unreported on. The Illinois Family […]

 

Sting Operation Nabs Psychotherapist Who Tried to Cure Disease Instead of Encouraging It

Posted on by Dave Blount

We have sting operations to enforce laws against terrorism, why not have them to enforce the laws imposing the homosexualization of our culture? They’re already underway in formerly Great Britain, the canary in the coalmine of authoritarian moonbat degeneracy: In yet another instance of the growing conflict between believing Christian professionals and the homosexualist movement […]

 

Newspaper Ignores Facts in Teacher’s ‘Vagina Dance’ Song Controversy

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It isn’t just national issues that the Old Media misreports. As we focus on the “big” stories of the day, we often overlook the local scene and the left-wing excuse for “reporting,” therefrom. This is a perfect example of that. Imagine you are a sophomore in high school and your sex ed teacher forces you […]

 

Kangaroo Court Grants Cash Reward to Militant Homosexuals for Alleged Name-Calling

Posted on by Dave Blount

Until recently, Canada was considered part of the free world. But then political correctness got completely out of control: The Quebec Human Rights Tribunal has ordered a Montreal man to pay his gay neighbours $12,000 for allegedly subjecting them to “homophobic comments,” death threats and invitations to fight, even though he was acquitted of the […]

 

4 Reasons Why the MSM Botched the Tuscon Massacre, and Why they Owe the Victims and Sarah Palin an Apology

Posted on by Susannah Fleetwood

[H/T Toby Toons for the image.] This past week in the wake of the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords by Jared Lee Loughner (that killed six people and wounded nine others–including the congresswoman), the mainstream/liberal media instantly pounced on “the violent rhetoric” by Sarah Palin and the Tea Party as the cause of Loughner’s mad […]

 

Parents Neutered on Passport Applications

Posted on by Dave Blount

Our liberal ruling class has been institutionalizing bizarre, child-warping mutations of the traditional family. It shows up in little ways — like the politically incorrect concept of children having a mother and a father being expunged from passport applications. “The words in the old form were ‘mother’ and ‘father,’” said Brenda Sprague, deputy assistant Secretary […]

 

Want to See Some Hate From America’s Left-Democrats?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left is filled with vitriol and hate. The American left despises anyone that disagrees with them. The American left hates the Constitution because it stands in its way to remake America in its own image. The American left practices the politics of personal destruction. The American left has called for rioting, murder, and has […]
