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 […]

 

Hollywood Scripting: A Primer

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Some have wondered how Hollywood works. There is the romantic version where a writer of talent writes an outstanding, heartfelt script, a director of vision expounds upon that script and actors with intensity bring it to life. Like much about romance that romantic image of Hollywood is a myth. No, what Hollywood does when it […]

 

Hank Johnson: Guam Could ‘Tip Over And Capsize’

Posted on by John Hawkins

What’s in the water in Georgia’s fourth congressional district? That district used to be represented by Cynthia McKinney, who was one of the biggest fruit loops in Congress, and now Hank Johnson is their man on Capitol Hill. Hank Johnson, who was last seen claiming that people would put on “white hoods and ride through […]

 

Obamacare Bullies and Punishes The Children

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Well, the young adults. However, since 26 year olds are now still considered children under Obamacare, encouraged to mooch of their parents and their insurance policies like new millennium slackers, I feel safe in calling them children. The Democrats, with this bill, are, thus, harming The Children ™ and the newly minted as adults thirty-somethings. […]

 

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 […]

 

La Amistad: How the AP Commonly Muffs American History

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Associated Press has a famous book on grammar and style that its news writers use to govern their work, a book that is also popular with the whole American news industry. It has served as a standard for many years. The AP, however, seems to have no style or rule for reporting history. Or […]

 

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 […]

 

Obama To Take Over Control of College Textbooks?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Candace de Russy over at National Review posted an alarming example of Obama power grab. Or perhaps more precisely it’s yet another alarming example of an Obama power grab. This time Obama apparently is setting the table to take control of what is printed in our nation’s college textbooks. This one slipped past my radar […]

 

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, […]

 

Smug NY Times Moonbat Smirks and Gloats

Posted on by Dave Blount

If you aren’t angry enough yet to do whatever you can to dislodge our socialist rulers from power before they totally destroy this country, check out the recent opinion piece in the New York Times by smug moonbat Charles M. Blow, who proclaims that the alleged “bullying, threats, and acts of violence” by patriots opposed […]

 

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 […]

 

Union Hack Becker Gets Recess Appointment

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President Obama is determined to misuse his office to payoff unions and to that end he has given union goon Craig Becker a recess appointment as the head of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the agency tasked with implementing fair and responsible federal rules to govern labor and employers. The U.S. Chamber of commerce […]

 

Hopey Change Imposes Capital Controls

Posted on by Dave Blount

By piling outrage upon outrage at a maniacal pace, our socialist rulers have made it difficult even to keep track of their assaults on our liberty, much less resist them. Barely noticed by anyone, they have stretched out their insatiably greedy claws to exert control over private funds in overseas banks: On March 18, with […]

 

And Bullies Bully

Posted on by Brian Garst

Dr. Clouthier recently reminded us that legislators are prone to legislating.:  They see all problems as solvable via legislation, just as surgeons see all health problems as correctable through surgery.:  But over the last century or so, there’s something else that legislators have also done with increasing regularity: they’ve bullied. Reacting to the recently passed […]

 

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 […]

 

Mediaite Writer Tries to Score Political Points on Back of Former Senator’s Death

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Or, why I will no longer link to Mediaite. I saw the link to their story on Twitter and made the mistake of clicking on it. No, actually, it wasn’t a mistake. It was an eye opener.:  This is the tweet and my response (in front of the RT part) Shameful.Couldn’t wait to politicize DEATHS? […]

 

Government Is Not Our Friend

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Small-government conservatives have always been suspicious of government. Whether city, county, state or federal all government is looked on as a troublesome but necessary evil that must be tightly controlled and oft times opposed. This anti-government attitude, of course, is a complete mystery to socialist Democrats. They just don’t understand why conservatives mistrust government and […]

 

Fox News Chicago Digging Deeper on Illinois Pension Mess

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

My friend Lennie Jarratt was featured on Fox News Chicago last night. The subject was the $85 billion dollar deficit that the Illinois finds its public employee pensions confronted with. Fox News reports that every Illinois citizen would have to fork over $6,600 to instantly solve the problem. And what has caused this problem? Unions. […]

 

‘New Hope’ For American Docs: Help Them Move Overseas, Won’t You?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The despair in the field of medicine over Obama’s government takeover of America’s once vibrant healthcare system can be overwhelming for America’s doctors. Many have said that if Obamacare is implemented, they’ll hang up their stethoscope and retire. The gloom is overpowering. But WAIT! Help is on the way. A new effort is underway to […]

 

ACORN’s Tangled Branches

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

News is all over the country that the often criminal group the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) is dead, folding its tent, kaput. All this is because, as Politico puts it, of a “conservative assault that never prompted any prosecutions.” But let us not get our hopes up that ACORN is defeated. […]

Barbara Hollingsworth of the Washington Examiner has a piece celebrating the efforts of New Jersey’s new Governor Chris Christie in his effort to take on the state’s over indulged public employees unions.

Democrat Health Care Bill is Sexist and Anti-Mom

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

When Nancy Pelosi uttered the ridiculous comment the other day that “being a woman will no longer be considered a pre-existing medical condition”, I chalked it up to simply being the further rantings of an out of touch Stepford Feminist, always walking in lockstep with some perceived victim mentality. I thought to myself “No, Speaker, […]

 

Can Congress Regulate Something You Haven’t Purchased Yet To Make You Purchase It?

Posted on by William Teach

This is almost like some sort of pre-cognition movie A flood of lawsuits from states seeking to block the health care law President Obama signed this week raises sharp questions about the power of the federal government to impose mandates on its citizens, but legal scholars disagree about how the cases will be decided if […]

Rep Dingell Admits Obamacare Is All About Control

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Representative John Dingell (D-MI) inadvertently divulged the end goal of the Democrats yesterday during a radio interview::  They need to control we rubes. They will stop at nothing to further that agenda and achieve that goal. We knew this already, but the left is now making no attempt to even mask it. This also is […]

 

Stupak’s Fig Leaf Blows Away in the Wind

Posted on by Dave Blount

Anyone surprised by this needs to sit in the corner under a tall pointy hat: The bogus “executive order” offered as a fig leaf (along with a $726,409 payoff) to the self-styled “pro-life” Democrat Bart Stupak has been shrugged off by our avidly pro-abortion president. President Obama signed the Senate health care bill into law […]

 

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 […]
