Behavioral Science, Behavioral Economics, Social Science, Psychology… How are these ‘Science’? Why Is Obama Using them to Ruin This Nation?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

OK, let me get this straight. The bulk of the “research” that the so-called sciences mentioned in the headline above are done in university labs. There they conduct these “experiments” mostly, not exclusively, but mostly, on grad students and other students willing to go to the lab and take surveys, answer questions, and participate in […]

 

I Want To Fire All Government Workers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We conservatives are fond of wanting to oust everyone in office and for wanting to “vote the scoundrels out.” But, I’d like to add one more level to the throw-them-out-of-government arena. Let’s fire every government worker from the smallest village receptionist or sewer worker to the staffers of the highest Senator and every menial clerk […]

Prime Time Slime: Larry King Says Sarah Palin Should Pose for Playboy

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I know. I had forgotten that show was still on the air, too. Well, I suppose even Michael Moore needs a show to appear on where he is actually slightly more attractive than the host. Anyway, Larry “I literally am older than dirt” King is at it again. Not content with just exposing his serial […]

 

Mickey Kaus, Union Fighter?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For the Washington Post’s Post Partisan Blog Charles Lane’s somewhat irreverent, perhaps even dismissive treatment of the admittedly quixotic Senate campaign of journalist Mickey Kaus painted the would-be candidate as a union fighter. Interestingly, he isn’t far off the mark, which is odd for the fact that Kaus is a pretty straight down the line […]

 

Republican Governors Association Video: Remember November

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I was going to submit this without comment, because the video speaks for itself. However, it appears that the video is even more effective than I first thought. Allahpundit at Hot Air notes that Time Magazine (I know. I was surprised to learn that it’s still in:  publication, too) is already frothing at the mouth […]

Women Can Have It All? Only If You Abort, Claim Pro-Abortion Feminists

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Last week, an ad campaign aimed at helping women learn about post-abortion syndrome exposed the fact that modern day Feminists rejoice at abortion for convenience and that they are anything but “pro-women.” I wrote about it here and those same feminists, and others, were none too pleased with me. While they blatantly ignored my point […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In the late morning hours of April 21 dozens of rented buses streamed into Springfield, the Illinois capitol, and began spewing out hundreds of tax-gorged union thugs. It was as if the Illinois Hog Producers association had pulled up to the capitol and thrown wide the doors to their livestock carriers. Some estimates say the […]

A group called the Institute for Justice (http://www.ij.org/) is doing yeoman’s work alerting everyone to the simply un-American powers that police agencies across the country have been afforded by an out-of-control government.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Recently the British health services ruled that Muslim nurses and doctors didn’t have to wash their hands before handling patients. Why did they reverse a hundred years of sanitary medical practices?

Those Delusional ‘Coffee Party’ Lefties

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The self-delusional world in which liberals wallow truly is amazing. It takes an Olympic gymnast’s level of agility to warp your logic enough to think like one of them and a recent report on the left-wing blather site Newsvine is yet one more example of the backbreaking contortions that liberals must indulge to make themselves […]

Last week I posted a deconstruction of the muffed WWII history as penned by NPR commentator Cokie Roberts. Today I have another example of muddled history in the Old Media.

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Remember when Democrats opined that Americans would love health care reform once it passed? Remember how Republicans wondered why in the world Democrats were so content to commit political suicide given the Scott Brown victory? Evidently, all is not well and so incumbent Dems are hoarding cash–not for the impending climate apocalypse–for the impending electoral […]
