Dear Harry Reid: Is Your Ivory Tower Padded?

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

If Harry Reid’s Ivory Tower isn’t padded, it should be, because he is cuckoo pants. I submit as exhibit A: Only 36,000 jobs lost, which is UP from last month. What a super awesome day! Who wants evil private sector jobs anyway, right Harry? The rhetoric of the Democrat’s has moved from incomprehensible to absolutely […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Service Employees International Union wants YOU to pay more taxes, Illinois. And, in order to get their wish, they’ve donated $1.7 million to the one candidate that has since the beginning promised to raise everyone’s taxes, Governor Pat “Mighty Taximo” Quinn. Oh, it’s a cozy arrangement, of course. The SEIU represents many of Illinois […]

If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Bribe ‘Em: Obama Now Trading Judgeships For Votes

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Chicago-style politics once again coming home to roost. The Weekly Standard is reporting that Obama is now selling judgeships for health care votes: Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he’s obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to […]

 

Dem Leaders Knew of Massa’s Sexual Misconduct, Will Dems Be Held Accountable Like GOP Was Over Mark Foley

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remember when Florida Congressman Mark Foley was outed for sexual misconduct with male pages in the House of Representatives in 2006? You’ll recall that the Democrats and the Old Media and the left were in some high dudgeon over the claim that Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert knew all about it before the […]

 

Obama Judgeship Bribery Joins Louisiana Purchase and Cornhusker Kickback

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Are you a member of the U.S. House of Reps or a Senator that needs some “convincing” that selling out your constituents and implementing a socialist take over of healthcare is a good idea? Well, President Wheeler-Dealer has a deal for you. You’ve heard of the Cornhusker Kickback where a Senator from a western state […]

 

Eric Massa: How Wide Is His Stance?

Posted on by John Hawkins

So, how much chatter are you hearing about Eric Massa today? Maybe so little that you’re asking, “Who the heck’s Eric Massa?” He’s a netroots endorsed congressman from New York and he has apparently gotten caught up in a little Mark Foley/Larry Craig action: First-term Rep. Eric Massa announced Wednesday that he will not seek […]

 

Feds Prepare Massive Land Grab

Posted on by Dave Blount

A whistleblower has stepped forward in the largest and most corrupt enterprise in our country’s history. The enterprise is the federal government; the whistleblower is South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint, who warns that the monstrous cancer metastasizing out of DC plans to place American citizens below animals in an appallingly greedy land grab: A secret […]

 

159 Big Spending, Big Government Features of Obamacare

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

When Obama says that his Obamacare healthcare plan isn’t a big government take over of healthcare he really is simply lying outright to the nation (well, let’s be honest, it’s not really his plan because the Democrats wrote it and he had no real input into it). Here is a list of 159 new programs, […]

 

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 […]

 

Um, MSNBC is *Totally* Losing It: Host Screeching About Racists and Nazis

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I’m not really sure who this Dylan Ratigan is and I suspect that maybe 3 people – tops – watch his show. However, his behavior, whilst interviewing Mark Williams about Tea Parties, is indicative of how desperate MSNBC and many on the far left have become. Just keep screeching “you want to kill black people. […]

 

NOW is Racist and Sight-ist; Call for Governor Paterson to Resign

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

The increasingly irrelevant National Organization for Women has finally issued a statement regarding New York’s Governor Paterson and his involvement in intimidation and witness tampering. Allegedly. ALBANY, N.Y. – The National Organization for Women on Tuesday urged New York Gov. David Paterson to resign because of a report he directed two staffers to contact a […]

 

Congress? Who Needs ‘Em? Let Obama Pack the Supreme Court

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Philadelphia Inquirer published a reader feedback opinion editorial from reader Stan Isaacs that is as outlandish as it is indicative of the disregard for the American process that liberals all too often exhibit. It is proof once again that tradition, law, and any effort at legitimacy is wholly outside a liberal’s field of interest. […]

 

Anti-War Hiroshima A-Bomb Book Caught With Multiple Fictions

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

When it debuted the left instantly hailed it as an anti-war masterpiece. The book “The Last Train from Hiroshima,” a popular history of the WWII A-Bomb drops on Japan, quickly accumulated much acclaim. This was “gleaming” wartime history according to The New York Times. It was so poignant and solemn that moviemaker James Camereon was […]

 

VIDEO: Four Key Minutes from Obama’s Failed Healthcare Summit

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A great video from the Heritage Foundation that shows how the Republicans really made Obama look the fool at his healthcare summit last week. My favorite is Louise Slaughter (D, NY) who was all upset that a women in here district was “wearing her dead sister’s teeth” because the woman could not afford dental care. […]

 

Using the System FOR Us: The Freedom Force Strategy

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The National Precinct Alliance is an effort to give tea party folks the guidance to make a difference at home, within their own local political system. This is the only way that we conservatives can influence what is happening in our state government and what is happening in Washington. All our tea party protests are […]

 

Obama Signals British That They Aren’t So Special

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama, it was claimed, would “repair” our reputation both with our enemies and our friends. So how has he done? Let’s take Britain for example. Has he “fixed” our special relationship with the British Isles? Well, if by fixed you mean he has fastened that relationship to a negative track, well then “fixed” it […]

 

AP: Unions Stymied Under Obama?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Associated Press posted a story lamenting that Big Labor has failed so far to get Obama to heel by their commands. Big Labor has said “jump” and Obama has but skipped. The article is correct, though, that Big Labor has failed in its two biggest goals: socialist healthcare and card check. At least, they’ve […]

 

Obama Still Smoking ‘Em If He’s Got ‘Em

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

President Obama had his first physical as President today. I’m surprised he couldn’t perform the physical himself, since he fancies himself a doctor and all. Obama told to quit smoking for good at health check-up Under his recommendations, Kuhlman urged the president to “continue smoking cessation efforts” and noted Obama was medicating himself with nicotine […]

 

Things I Learned Watching The Joy Behar Show

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

Well, actually reading about Joy’s show on sites such as Hot Air and Newsbusters, since like 99.5 percent of America I’ve never actually watched it (except for possibly a few minutes while trapped in an airport). But still, the good work and ingratiating tone of this breakthrough in television programming is getting out, even through osmosis

 

Multiplicity II, Starring Janeane Garofalo As Andie MacDowell

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

During the Bush #43 administration, the left really went to town with their practice of stealing pages from the conservative playbook that they had preceding years. But much like the cloning machine in Michael Keaton’s “Multiplicity”, the copy of a copy of a copy tended to lose more than a little crispness once it had been cloned. Here’s a brief, and very likely incomplete recap

 

SEIU Prez Andy Stern Appointed to Federal Deficit Commission?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President Obama has today appointed Service Employees International Union (SEIU) President Andy Stern to the federal deficit-reduction commission. And I say, why not? After all union thugs like Stern are one of the root causes of federal deficits so he should know all about them. Unfortunately, though, Stern only knows how to make deficits worse […]

 

Cap And Tax May Be Gone, Replaced With “Just Tax, Baby!”

Posted on by William Teach

It’s a good thing the Washington Post is there to tell us these kinds of things on a Saturday when most people are not watching: Senators to propose abandoning cape-and-trade Three key senators are engaged in a radical behind-the-scenes overhaul of climate legislation, preparing to jettison the broad “cap-and-trade” approach that has defined the legislative […]

 

Heel Time With Bill Maher: He’s Better Than You

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Image courtesy of iowntheworld.com Bill Maher is better than you. Or, so he claims, once again, during an appearance on Larry King. “But what the Democrats never understand is that Americans don’t really care what position you take, just stick with one,” Maher said. “Just be strong. They’re not bright enough to really understand the […]
