WH Science Czar: We Need To Rebrand Global Warming

Posted on September 16, 2010 by William Teach

First we had “global warming,” a proposition that Mankind’s release of greenhouse gases, mostly CO2, was causing the Earth to warm.

Hanoi John Kerry as Secretary of State

Posted on September 15, 2010 by Dave Blount

It only seems like the collection of radical leftists, slippery lobbyists, and tax cheats who comprise the Obama Administration could not possibly get any worse. Shrillary Clinton is an Alinskyite socialist, just like Comrade Obama; but unlike Obama, she’s smart enough that if she were captain, she wouldn’t sink the ship on purpose, not wanting […]

Posted on September 15, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Ben Smith of Politico noticed that two “influential writers broadly in sympathy with Obama” recently floated the notion that as the nation turns rightward and isn’t voting with the extreme left, why we’ve all become “irrational.” In the New Yorker, George Packer wrote that we’ve become a mob of unreason. “Nine years later,” he writes, […]

Record Increase in Poverty Under Obama

Posted on September 13, 2010 by Dave Blount

No one can doubt that Democrats love the poor. They show it by advancing policies certain to make the poor more numerous — thereby expanding their base of support. From this perspective, Comrade Obama isn’t a failure at all: The number of people in the U.S. who are in poverty is on track for a […]

The New York Times gave a glowing review of Ana Burger’s career as a most divisive member of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).

When Did Calbuzz Become Jerry Brown’s Personal Communications Shop?

Posted on September 11, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

The widely read California website Calbuzz bills itself as a site offering political news, analysis, commentary, “and more about California and beyond.” During this election cycle, though, the “and more” seems to indicate that Calbuzz is operating as the publicity shop for Democrat Jerry Brown’s campaign for Governor because so far they’ve spent little time […]

Posted on September 11, 2010September 7, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

North Carolina Governor’s Gun Ban

Posted on September 10, 2010September 11, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

It appears that North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue went to the Rahm Emanuel school of governing because hurricane Earl was a “crisis” that was “too good to waste.” Perdue used hurricane Earl as an excuse to claim that the North Carolina was in a “state of emergency” and this proclamation opens the door for an […]

What Liberals Say vs What they Mean

Posted on September 8, 2010September 7, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Many of us have been raised to think that words mean things. Then there’s Democrats. From those infamous phrases like “It depends on what the definition of what ‘is’ is” of yore to the newfangled “man-caused disasters” of today, Democrats have so abused the English language as to make it completely unrecognizable to Mr. Johnson.

Democrat Policies Kill Last Major Incandescent Light Bulb Factory In USA

Posted on September 8, 2010 by William Teach

Strange that we always hear that Democrats are for the little guy.
