Coffee Party Astroturf

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

What is it that the left and the Old Media said about the Tea Party movement? Didn’t they say it was not really filled with regular folks and didn’t they say it was not really a grass roots level effort because some nefarious “top-down” Republican groups were secretly behind the whole thing? That’s what Paul […]

 

Do Democrats Understand How An Economy Works?

Posted on by William Teach

I was hoping to go with a bit of lighter fare, a funny story about a guy bringing a barstool to a gunfight (guess who wins), alas, two other stories caught my eye, and highlight how clueless and inept Democrats are regarding jobs and the economy. Let’s start with The Cluelessness Of Obama President Obama […]

 

The Day Health Care Reform Finally Died?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Simply put, if this holds up, I think health care reform just died: The Senate Parliamentarian has ruled that President Barack Obama must sign Congress’ original health care reform bill before the Senate can act on a companion reconciliation package, senior GOP sources said Thursday. The Senate Parliamentarian’s Office was responding to questions posed by […]

 

Obamaganda: Another School Sings Praises to Dear Leader

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It’s a veritable cornucopia of Obamagandistic musical agitprop. You’ll recall the militaristic, fascist-styled Obama youth corps from 2008 where a line of inner city youth stamped out their obeisance militia-like to The One like good little automatons? Perhaps the slickly produced exploitation of sweet faced children from Hollywood that same year will ring a bell? […]

Massive Rally Against ObamaCare in St. Louis

Posted on by Dave Blount

Indicating how little Americans appreciate Obama’s ham-fisted attempt to take over the healthcare industry, a Kill the Bill rally in St. Louis yesterday, expected to draw 600 protesters due to the heavy interest, instead drew well over 2,000. Via Gateway Pundit: Democrats scuttled for cover and watched from the safety of their crevices. Instapundit reports: […]

 

Louise Slaughter: Slaughtering The Will Of The People

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Glenn Reynolds wrote of the consent of the governed the other day; that was before Louise Slaughter’s evil genius plan to get health care passed. It’s government gone wild! Steve Schippert of Threats Watch fumes: House Rules Chairwoman Louise Slaughter says she is “prepping to help usher the healthcare overhaul through the House and potentially […]

Here’s your law abiding Democrat Hispanic Caucus A group of Hispanic lawmakers on Thursday will tell President Barack Obama that they may not vote for healthcare reform unless changes are made to the bill’s immigration provisions. immigration remains just as explosive an issue and carries the same potential to derail the entire healthcare endgame, a […]

 

Next Victim of Obamunism: Recreational Fishing

Posted on by Dave Blount

After the nightmare progressives call Hope & Change is finally over, it may take years to sort out all the liberties we’ve lost. Some of the most outrageous encroachments are hardly even reported, having been drowned out by the thunderous artillery aimed at our healthcare system. For example: The Obama administration will accept no more […]

 

A Concise Explanation For Why Americans Ain’t Buyin’ What President Obama Is Sellin’ On Health Care

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

To little avail, I tried explaining why Health Care Reform scares Americans on Bloggingheads the other day. While, Democrats haggle over the details of health care reform, they’re ignoring how the entirety of the bill feels like to the American people. Rasmussen sums it up, with data: Why can’t the president move the numbers? One […]

 

Walmart’s Barbie Price is Raaaacist

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Race hustlers, hate peddlers and “critics” strike again with their wolf-crying about raaaacism. This time it’s that eeevil Walmart (again) that is raaaacist because one of its stores marked down the black Barbie doll to $3.00 while the white Barbie doll was still being sold at $5.95. See? It’s raaaacist! ABC claims it found some […]

 

150 Convicted County Officials in Obama’s Chicagoland Area

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Better Government Association (http://www.bettergov.org/), a beleaguered Chicago-based watchdog group that has its work cut out for it, recently released its “Hall of Shame” report that details the nearly 150 county officials that have gone to jail for corruption in Barack Obama’s home county of Cook. And that doesn’t even include the over 100 Chicago […]

 

Nancy Pelosi’s ‘Tell’

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Nancy Pelosi proves that it is possible to give “tells”, even if your face can’t move and you are an accomplished liar. First, the “she made an utter fool of herself” part, because any chance to point and snicker at Pelosi is A-Okay with me. While giving a speech to the National Association of Counties, […]

 

Procedure Could Undo Dem Dreams

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

A parliamentary procedure could stand between Democrats and American cultural domination? Awesome. Via Bill Dupray this from the New York Times: The White House and Democratic Congressional leaders said Tuesday that they were bracing for a key procedural ruling that could complicate their effort to approve major health care legislation, by requiring President Obama to […]

Posted on by SusanAnne Hiller

Roll Call is reporting: Rep. Dale Kildee (D-MI), a key supporter of Rep. Bart Stupak’s (D-Mich.) anti-abortion language intended for the health care bill, said Tuesday night that he’s satisfied the Senate abortion language prohibits federal funding of abortions and will likely vote for the bill. “I think the Senate language keeps the purpose of […]

 

Dear America, Admit That You’re Stupid! Love, Nancy

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The founding fathers debated bills for weeks. They then wrote them, referred them to committee’s of style and prose, brought them back to the floor, debated them again, wrote newspaper articles about them, went home to their districts to discuss them, and finally passed them — or not — after much deliberation. Today’s Speaker of […]

 

What is a ‘Religious Extremist’? This Lefty Weekly Sure Doesn’t Know

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston For the Independent Weekly of Durham, North Carolina, writer Sam Wardle proves that he hasn’t a clue how the phrase “religious extremist” is properly defined. But, I’d suggest that his confusion is endemic in the far left and proves to show why so many in the west don’t understand how to […]

 

Tuesday Debate: Are National Worker ID Cards A Good Idea?

Posted on by William Teach

Would you be surprised to learn that Linsdey Graham is working with Chuck Schumer to push this idea? Lawmakers working to craft a new comprehensive immigration bill have settled on a way to prevent employers from hiring illegal immigrants: a national biometric identification card all American workers would eventually be required to obtain. Under the […]

 

Majority Think Obama And Dems Harming America’s World Standing

Posted on by William Teach

How can this be? What with all the bowing Obama’s engaged in and talking with enemy regimes and giving the Queen of England a cool iPod with his own photos and vids, how can this happen? Heck, Barry was given a Nobel Peace Prize! A majority of Americans say the United States is less respected […]

 

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. […]

 

Will Reconciliation Ever Happen? It Seems Unlikely.

Posted on by John Hawkins

One of the biggest stumbling blocks for Obamacare is the very legitimate fear of Democrats in the House that Senate Democrats won’t pass a “fix” of the bill through reconciliation. First of all, here’s how Democrats in the House want the process to work: They pass the bill already voted through in the Senate. Then […]

 

How They Get Away With Abramoff Tactics In Congress

Posted on by John Hawkins

One thing I’ve been fond of saying over the last couple of years is that Jack Abramoff didn’t get in trouble for bribing members of Congress, he got in trouble for being explicit about it. The sort of chicanery that Abramoff engaged in goes on every day of the week in Congress, but they just […]

 

Rahm Emanuel Is “Devil’s Spawn”–UPDATED Should Massa Refuse To Resign?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Democrats who hate Rahm Emanuel (and that seems to be all of them) are coming out against the man. The far left hates him because of his Southern Strategy. This is my favorite description of him, though, by disgraced Congressman Massa: “Rahm Emanuel is son of the devil’s spawn,” Massa added. “He is an individual […]

 

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.

Mr. Schackleford learned that the FAU […]

 

The Coming Union Pension Plan Collapse

At the blog YidWithLid.blogspot.com Sammy Benoit has posted an interesting piece about the mess befalling so many failing union pension funds across the nation.

Unions Support This Detroit Socialist

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left is constantly attempting to wave its hand dismissively at our claims that they are socialists and communists. They claim they are true blue Americans and we are lying about them. Unions are one of the biggest perpetrators of this misinformation. Well, it appears that in Detroit unions came out in support of a […]

 

Whatever Would I Do Without Liberal Feminist Men to Save Me?

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Apparently, that whole lame idea that Conservative women suffer from “Stockholm Syndrome” isn’t limited to the bitterly nonsensical Janeane Garofalo. Liberal men are hopping on that bandwagon now as well! Assuming that women are too dumb and hood-winked to comprehend things on their own isn’t offensive and sexist in the slightest now, is it? Not […]

 

Gov’t Employees Now Make More Than Private Sector Workers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The news we have been warning you about is in. Government workers on average exceed the pay scale of those in private industry. The unsustainable situation is here. It is now clear that Bill Clinton was a bit premature when he said that the “era of big government is over.” Sadly he didn’t count on […]
