8 Dem Senators Push Reid for Transparency on Health Bill

Posted on October 10, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

As reported earlier, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has been fighting against efforts to institute transparency in the healthcare debate by posting SB3200, the House healthcare bill, online for at least 72 hours before the bill comes to the floor. Similarly, efforts to bring transparency to the Senate’s Baucus bill are also in the […]

How ACORN Hides Behind Fake Names

Posted on October 9, 2009October 9, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

Many states have ways to look up the businesses, organizations and people with whom the state does business. Illinois has such a service on the Secretary of State’s website. In Illinois there is a way to search the folks the state does business with on a page titled Corporate/LLC Search / Certificate of Good Standing. […]

Darnell Nash: Another ACORN Community Activist Finds Fame

Posted on October 9, 2009October 9, 2009 by Dave Blount

Comrade Obama isn’t the only big success to come out of ACORN. There’s also the self-proclaimed “Queen of Cleveland Gender Benders,” Darnell Nash: The activist group ACORN, which has long worked with criminals as it preys on the weak and the troubled, is on the verge of yet another public relations catastrophe. That’s because a […]

Obama’s Muslim Advisor Says Sharia Law ‘Misunderstood’

Posted on October 9, 2009October 9, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

It has been used to excuse the chopping off of hands and feet, it has been used as an excuse to stone women that have been victims of rape, and it has been used as an excuse to jail women merely for wearing a pair of pants, driving a car, or smoking a cigarette, but […]

Obama’s Stimulus for Unions

Posted on October 8, 2009October 8, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

Stimulating the economy isn’t nearly as important to President Obama as putting federal dollars into the pockets of his union cronies. Because of Obama’s PLA Executive Order, thousands of jobs are going to unions in states that have few union members. The Washington Times, for instance, reports that Obama has grandiosely given a $35 million […]

Associated Press and Misleading Rhetoric on Afghanistan

Posted on October 8, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

The Associated Press employed some interesting rhetoric in its recent wire story on Obama’s coming decisions on the war in Afghanistan. It is rhetoric that might mislead a casual reader as to how many casualties the U.S. has incurred in Afghanistan and just when they’ve occurred as well as both Obama’s and the Bush administration’s […]

ACORN Thugs Throw Out Republican Registrations

Posted on October 8, 2009 by Dave Blount

ACORN activists are famous for using your tax dollar to register characters like Mickey Mouse. But what would happen if they did something really weird — like register Republicans? As reported by Pam Geller, Black Republican Fathiyyah Muhammad of Jacksonville discovered the answer when she signed up to register voters for ACORN at $3/head. In […]

ObamaCare And The “New Mommy Tax”, Ie “Why Does Obama Hate Women, Children and Minorities”

Posted on October 8, 2009October 8, 2009 by William Teach

Yeah, yeah, I know I really shouldn’t call it ObamaCare, since, like virtually every other policy, Obama gives a speech then votes “present!” In this case, he has outsourced all the health system destruction legislation out to Congress. We’re still waiting for Obama’s actual plan, which he said weeks ago he would supply. Anyhow, Amanda […]

CBO Says Baucus Bill Won’t Add To Debt – But It Will Leave 16 Million Uninsured

Posted on October 7, 2009 by McQ

The Washington Post’s “Capitol Briefing” breathlessly announces: A health-care reform bill drafted by the Senate Finance Committee would expand health coverage to nearly 30 million Americans who currently lack insurance and would meet President Obama’s goal of reducing the federal budget deficit by 2019, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday. The bill would cost […]

Pelosi Thwarting Transparency Measures, Won’t Allow Public to See Healthcare Bill

Posted on October 7, 2009October 7, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

On September 25, we reported on the Walden Discharge Petition that Representative Joe Wilson informed us about in a conference telephone call. Wilson told us of a resolution that would force all bills that come before the House for a vote to be posted on the Internet for 72 hours before the members can vote […]

NAACP Registers Inmates to Vote

Posted on October 7, 2009 by Dave Blount

ACORN isn’t the only militant moonbat outfit that uses felons to advance Democrat chances at the polls. The NAACP is registering voters at prisons in Maine, one of just two states that allow all inmates to vote while behind bars, in what is apparently the nation’s first such statewide drive. … Though prison inmates tend […]

The Obama Justice Department’s Secret Blogging Team… Is it Illegal?

Posted on October 7, 2009October 7, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder, has apparently hired a cadre of left-wing, Democrat campaign bloggers to troll through the Internet looking for news stories and blog posts that denigrate the Obama agenda. After such websites are found it is the job of these secret lefty bloggers to leave comments that come to the support of […]

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Demonizing Private Insurance Companies

Posted on October 6, 2009October 6, 2009 by William Teach

Over the past few months, we have heard and read about Democrat leaders doing their typical “hey, let’s insult, demean, damage, and demonize yet another private entity” in regards to the health insurance industry. They tell us that the private health insurance companies should be more like the selfless government run Medicare. Yeah, about that […]

And Now Senator Schumer is Lying about Job Loss

Posted on October 5, 2009October 5, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

You know, our job loses are bad enough without President Obama and now Senator Chuck Schumer lying about it all and making it sound even worse than it is. But this particular lie is a very particular lie, one that is aimed to make the presidency of George W. Bush the bad guy. Job loses […]

The Dangerous Left-Wing Hatemongering from Media Matters

Posted on October 5, 2009October 5, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

Eric Boehlert of Media Matters is the worst kind of American. In fact, it’s hard to count him as an American at all except by accident of birth. It is plain that this Boehlert fellow is against many aspects of the American tradition chief of which is freedom of political speech. Well, perhaps, he’s not […]

The Stimulus Is A Failure: Guess Whose Fault It Is?

Posted on October 4, 2009 by William Teach

We said “Don’t pass the Generational Theft Act. It is laden with pork, most of it doesn’t actually kick in until, surprisingly, an election year, and it is basically a decades long wish list of Democrat wants, among others. We can’t back something that is going to mortgage the future of America’s children and grandchildren.” […]

Why do Obamas Have to Lie?

Posted on October 3, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

Barack “Hessayin” Obama lied repeatedly throughout the campaign and has not stopped as president. And now, even Michelle “Never Been Proud of My Country” Obama is joining him at the liar’s rostrum. Our favorite watchdog Michelle Malkin caught this little lie in The First Lady’s Olympics pleading. Some of my best memories are sitting on […]

The Prattler in Chief, Barack ‘Hessayin’ Obama

Posted on October 2, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

Remember back in school when the class braggart began to talk of his conquests in the bedroom and how everyone laughed at his nonsense? Or you have that one that fellow at work that has always done everything and been everywhere and is prepared to tell you about it at the drop of a hat? […]

Dems False Talking Point of 80% Agreement

Posted on October 2, 2009October 2, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

Obama has repeatedly been heard to say that Congress agrees on “about 80% of what needs to be done” on healthcare. And many Democratic congressmen have been echoing this since Obama’s Sept. speech. The meme has been used to present their case as if Obamacare is somehow mostly acceptable by all concerned. Even some Republican […]

Nanny State Update: New York District Bans Kids From Riding Bikes to School

Posted on October 2, 2009October 2, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

America’s kids are too fat. Right? Don’t we hear that all the time? Isn’t it a steady mantra from the left that America is suffering from an “epidemic” of obesity? So, shouldn’t we want to encourage kids to get outdoors? Wouldn’t it be a good thing if kids rode a bicycle to school? Not to […]

Obama’s Internet Supporters Are All Pot Heads and Poker Addicts

Posted on October 1, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

You know, we all love the Internet. Heck, I make a good portion of my living on Al Gore’s most famous invention so it gets a big thumbs up from me, for sure. But we have to admit that there are an awful lot of goofballs on these Internet tubes. In some ways, the whole […]

A Democratic Philosophy Against Transparency

Posted on October 1, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

We can look at four of the amendments offered as additions to the healthcare bill that Democrats defeated and what we see gives us a glimpse into the Democratic Party’s true soul. And it is a dark look, indeed. At least it’s dark if you are one of those lowly citizens that thinks government transparency […]

ACORN Documents Confirm Illegal Partisan Activities

Posted on October 1, 2009 by Dave Blount

ACORN is forbidden from spending the $millions of our money it receives on partisan politics. But then, it’s also forbidden from taking part in vote fraud. Documents recently discovered in an abandoned Oklahoma City office of Comrade Obama’s old gang confirm what most of us have long known: this criminal organization is partisan to its […]

Resolution Denouncing Alan Grayson (D) Coming?

Posted on October 1, 2009 by William Teach

Catching up on the Alan Grayson affair from yesterday, in which I figured that there would be no condemnation resolution submitted by the GOP, well………. House Republicans changed course: on Wednesday and decided not to move forward with a resolution condemning Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Florida, for saying that the GOP health care plan calls for sick […]

Democratic Self-Delusion

Posted on September 30, 2009 by McQ

I love quotes like this because it gives you a little hint about the level of the left’s self-delusion and intellectual bankruptcy. “A Primer on Reconciliation,” put together by Ken Strickland of NBC at First Read does a nice job of explaining the arcane process and some of the limits that will make it both […]

Lefty Outrage at ‘Conservative’ Article Misses Key Fact, Writer Isn’t Conservative

Posted on September 30, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

The left is in an uproar today. They got their panties in a bunch over a piece that ran on the conservative newsblog NewsMax.com where it was suggested that Obama’s irresponsible actions as president could result in a military coup that would “restore” the Constitution. Not completely without reason, many lefty blogs have lost their […]

A Telling Quote on Slavery Reparations

Posted on September 30, 2009September 30, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

If you want to know what the ultimate goal is of those that want reparations for the American slave trade, you have to look no farther than a telling quote that appeared in the Memphis Commercial Appeal on September 25. For slavery reparation advocates, the ultimate desire is not contrition, no apology will do, no […]

ACORN Front Group Nailed for Vote Fraud in New York

Posted on September 30, 2009 by Dave Blount

One reason Comrade Obama and the ultra-left leadership in Congress have shown such open contempt for the consequences their extreme agenda will have at the polls is they have been counting on their foot soldiers in ACORN to tilt the balance with operations like this: Dozens of forged and fraudulent absentee ballots from people registered […]

Federal Recovery Tracking Website Hides $$ to ACORN

Posted on September 30, 2009 by Warner Todd Huston

We are discovering that Obama’s promised transparency only goes so far in reporting where stimulus money ends up going. The new tracking website, Recovery.gov, is supposed to let us all know where the federal “stimulus” money is going but apparently will not track money that goes to groups like the Association for Community Organizations for […]

Here Comes The Senate Cap And Tax Bill!

Posted on September 30, 2009September 30, 2009 by William Teach

And it is only 800 pages! A climate change bill circulating in the Senate on Tuesday is slightly more ambitious than one passed in the House of Representatives, but still has many details to be worked out on how to encourage companies to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases. The legislation by Senators Barbara Boxer […]
