David Letterman Finally Exposes the Truth About Tea Partiers

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

The truth was exposed during his excellent interview with Pam Stout, President of Sandpoint, Idaho Tea Party. This is not an April Fools’ Day joke either. David Letterman had Pam Stout, the Sandpoint, Idaho Tea Party President on his show the other night. The result? A very fair and enlightening interview, showing the real face […]

 

Obama’s Biggest Lobbyist Winners from Left-Wing Advocacy Organizations

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On the campaign trail, now President Obama regularly excoriated lobbyists. He said he’d make the government “open and transparent” and said he’d make it hard for lobbyists to “curry favor” with his administration “based on how much they can spend on a fancy dinner.” Once elected, John Podesta, a member of his transition team, said […]

 

Those Unhinged ‘Tea Baggers’ Are so Un-American

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I am about sick to my stomach over all the ill-tempered protest signs and the over-the-top rhetoric from all these “tea baggers,” man. It’s a good thing that the left is so patriotic and level-headed. Why THEY would NEVER act like morons, half-wits, and the unhinged. They are logical, dispassionate, intellectual even. Leftists are all […]

 

Matthew Modine: Can’t We Just Hug It Out, Osama Bin Laden?

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Matthew Modine wants to just hang and have a nice rap session with – Osama Bin Laden. No, really. Via Story Balloon (money quote is about 2 minutes in): Imagine if somebody were to really sit down with Osama Bin Ladin and say, “Listen man, what is it that you’re so angry at me about […]

 

The New Ill. Dem. Lt. Gov. Candidate’s Anti-Catholic Song

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For those of you still wondering what sort of tangled mess that is Obama’s Illinois… On March 27, Jeff Finley of the Pioneer Press made an interesting discovery when looking up info on the Democrat’s new pick for Lt. Governor, Sheila Simon. Apparently Sheila’s 5-piece, all-girl band named the Loose Gravel Girls has an anti-Catholic, […]

 

Actress Maria Conchita Alonso Smacks Down Useful Idiot, Sean Penn

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Sean Penn is a bona fide useful idiot, we all know. He doesn’t have two synapses to rub together, it is obvious. Unfortunately, though, his every utterance is reported widely by the star-struck media no matter how stupid he is. Lately his foolishness has turned toward supporting one of the worst dictators in the world, […]

 

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 […]

 

A Little Reminder of the Left’s Unhinged Hatred

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

With all the tales in the Old Media of the supposed violence committed by Tea Partiers going on since Obama’s takeover of our nation’s healthcare system, I thought it might be instructive to recall how hate-filled the unhinged left is in America today. A year ago, the good folks at Zomblog assembled a great series […]

 

Moonbat Tech: GM’s Car of the Future

Posted on by Dave Blount

The aptly named Laugh. The future of nationalized Government Motors under the leadership of Comrade Obama and the UAW: The city car of the future will seat two people, run on electric power and communicate with other vehicles to reach a destination faster while automatically avoiding traffic tie-ups and crashes. They’d better avoid crashes, because […]

 

Liberals Value Good Intentions Above Both Truth and Outcomes

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Amusingly enough the Washington Post has a blog called PostPartisan. I say amusing because it is obvious that there is nothing “post” partisan about it if a rant against tea partiers by Jonathan Capehart is any indication. He thinks that Obama was speaking to the tea partiers in his latest healthcare address and so posted […]

 

As Government Fist Tightens, Philadelphia Degenerates Into Anarchy

Posted on by Dave Blount

Here comes the Hopey Change. In Venezuela, even as Hugo Chavez consolidates totalitarian control over the government, the streets have descended into chaos. That oil-rich country’s socialism-induced decline toward failed state status presages what Hope & Change are inflicting on America. The size and scope of our government are exploding; when the ramifications of the […]

 

Stupak Amendment Exposes Obamacare’s Dirty Little Secret: Eugenics

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Originally posted at RedState The other day, when Bart Stupak revealed that he was told “If you pass the Stupak Amendment, more children will be born and therefore it will cost us millions more”, I mentioned that it was no real surprise. Abortion is an agenda to the Left, it’s not about life or some […]

 

Crisis of Culture

Posted on by Dave Blount

As the lunatic wing of the Democrat Party prepares for the great leap into socialism by ramming through a federal healthcare entitlement certain to lead to national bankruptcy, now might be a good time to reprint highlights from a letter that Dr. Roger Starner Jones wrote to the Jackson, Mississippi Clarion Ledger: During my last […]

 

My Stomach is Rielle-ing. Edwards Sex Tape Exists

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I knew it did, but I was in deep, deep denial.:  The existence of a John Edwards, Rielle Hunter sex tape has now been confirmed. The Edwards sex tape is the Rielle deal Image Courtesy of The Daily Caller At least according to Diane Dimond at the Daily Beast. This alleged John Edwards/Rielle Hunter sex […]

 

AP Conflates Fake ‘Catholic’ Group With Catholic Church

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Here is one of the sneaky tricks that the Old Media plays in order to support a cause. In this case it’s the Associated Press coming to the aid of Obamacare with “news” that a “Catholic” hospital group is coming out in support of Obamacare. Of course, the AP does not inform the reader that […]

 

Leftist The Nation magazine: When In Doubt, Blame Bush. Again

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

It seems that math, cooking and basic home economics aren’t the only things with which Katrina Vanden Heuvel has trouble. I wrote about her inability to function at those household basics yesterday, here. Well, it appears that the reality-challenged Vanden Heuvel, Editor of The Nation magazine, also isn’t a very good, you know, Editor. .. […]

 

AP Slips in ‘Poverty’ as Reason For Nigerian Massacres

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

True to its fealty to left-wing, western pop psychology, the Associated Press thinks it knows one of the principle reasons why roving gangs of Muslims are hacking Christians to death and burning their villages to the ground in Nigeria: It’s “poverty.” Liberals that struggle to understand why man is often so cruel to his fellows […]

 

Rent A Friend: You Know You Want To

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Fausta has a funny little piece up about a business whose sole purpose is to rent friends, ostensibly, to the friendless. Fausta says, “The tough part about having friends is being a friend. Maybe that’s why so many people don’t have friends.” Well, yes. It can be a lot of work to be a friend. […]

 

Government Health Care Is Not About Health Care; It’s About Government

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

“Government Health Care is not about health care; It’s about Government.” So reads the last line of Mark Steyn’s latest brilliant article, which I strongly suggest that everyone read. He’s right, of course, but I’d go even a step further. It’s not just about government, it’s about a mindset and a freedom-squashed way of life. […]

 

Terrorists at Fla. Atlantic U Are O.K., Young Americans for Freedom VERBOTEN

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We send our young adults to university to be educated in the ways of the world, we all know. Following that well-worn path, young James Schackleford decided on the publicly funded Florida Atlantic University for his edification and boy did he learn a lesson about modern education last week. Mr. Schackleford learned that the FAU […]

 

And Not Once Did the New York Times Mention the Word Islam!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Nicholas Kristof rightly celebrates a new book highlighting the evils of the forced marriages of pre-teen girls to older men. Kristof is also right to reveal the sordid truths about the practice of marrying off pre-teen girls and the abuse they invariably seem to suffer in the arrangement. But one word was conspicuously missing from […]

 

Tea Party ‘Extremists’ Take Center Stage

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The liberal media’s newest meme is to claim that the tea party movement is made up exclusively of John Birchers, militia types, racists, and “birthers.” Politico, for instance, had an extensive story about how legitimate conservatives are coming to realize that they’ll have to conduct a Buckley styled purge of the extremists if they expect […]
