‘For The Children’, Unless They are Republican, Natch

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Proving that their hypocrisy extends beyond Faux-Feminism, some women on the Left are now revealing that For the Children ™ is also “just words”. You see, it’s totally cool to make fun of a politician’s children now, as long as you think their Mom or Dad is icky. This disturbing, yet eye-opening trend, really began […]

Unions Sign On To Obama’s Penalizing of Banks

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

According to The Hill, “several union officials” plan to make Obama’s newest attack on America’s banking industry part of their criteria for determining which candidates to support for 2010.

ObamaCare Push Highlights Senators’ Contempt for Constitution

Posted on by Dave Blount

The “public servants” who have been grinding the soles of their loafers into our faces as they usurp our liberties and spend the nation into bankruptcy are sworn to uphold the Constitution. Yet evidence accrues that they aren’t more than vaguely familiar with this “deeply flawed” document: • Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) doesn’t know “if […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston There’s a lot of analysis out there on why Scott Brown defeated nearly 50 years of Democratic rule of the Massachusetts Senate seat, but the CATO Institute has some cogent, logical points that we should all carefully consider. But before I give you the CATO video, remember this…. it’s time to […]

 

NBC’s Viera Scolding Scott Brown on Today Show

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Meridith Viera seemed a bit annoyed that she was interviewing the newly elected Republican Scott Brown instead of Democrat Martha Coakley now that Massachusetts voters made their choice in the Tuesday special election for the open Senate seat there.

Krugman Says Obama Doesn’t Blame Bush Enough?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of the worst writers in political punditry, a man with a little deserved reputation as a thinker and analyst, is New York Times columnist Paul Krugman. Sometimes the things he says are so absurd that it is hard to believe that even he believes what he is writing. Aside from his discreditable insistence that […]

Deadwood May Pull Coakley Through

Posted on by Dave Blount

Scott Brown has his work cut out for him today — and not only because Massachusetts is the Death Star of the entrenched liberal elite. The closer progressives’ backs get to the wall, the more inevitably they will cheat. The foundation for fraud has already been laid: Massachusetts had 116,483 dead people on its voter […]

The next target in Comrade Obama’s blitzkrieg against the economic freedom that made America wealthy is our retirement accounts: President Barack Obama is calling for establishing automatic workplace pensions and expanding unemployment insurance as part of his spending plan for the U.S. Labor Department next fiscal year.

Bitter Half at Odds With Shrillary, Oprah

Posted on by Dave Blount

Another story from the tabloid trash beat: The National Enquirer — which established itself as more legitimate than the “legitimate” media by bringing us the John Edwards/Rielle Hunter story — announces that Comrade Obama’s Bitter Half has launched a feud against prominent fellow moonbats Shrillary Rotten and Doprah. Furious Michelle Obama has declared war on […]
