Brit Hasn’t a Clue About U.S. Politics

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Many elitist American leftists like to go about claiming that it is only Americans that are dunces on foreign matters.

Obama’s Revival of the Republican Party

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

Upside of this administration: We all thought the GOP was dead. And slowly, they’re remembering what it means to be a Republican.

Punish Joe Wilson Or KKK Will Ride Again!

Posted on by McQ

You would think the Democrats would learn, but that seems to be something to which they’re immune. I’ve come to believe that overreaching is in their DNA.

CNN’s Poll Vaulting

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A short report on CNN’s Political Ticker is interesting for what it doesn’t mention in the story as well as its admittedly misleading trumpeted headline that Obama got “double-digit post-speech jump” after his Sept, 9 healthcare speech to a joint session of Congress. First the headline: “CNN Poll: Double-digit post-speech jump for Obama plan.” Reading […]

 

Nasty Tennis Player’s ‘Anger’… Just Like Joe Wilson?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It was bound to happen, but it might have been the Orlando Sentinel’s TV reviewer Hal Boedeker that was first out of the gate to compare the obscenity laden tirade disgorged at a tennis match by Serena Williams to the no more than annoyed outburst of “you lied” from Representative Joe Wilson during President Obama’s […]

Maryland May Prosecute O’Keefe and Giles for Exposing ACORN Corruption

Posted on by Dave Blount

It’s nice to see there may be charges brought in the case of ACORN thugs being caught on video attempting to facilitate child prostitution, slave trafficking, illegal immigration, and tax fraud — except that the charges would be brought not against Comrade Obama’s ghetto-dwelling shock troops, but against James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles for taking […]

In a new 60 Minutes interview, President Obama made a big show about telling correspondent Steve Kroft that he “owns” healthcare if it goes wrong and that because of this he has “every incentive to get this right.” But is this true?

An Un-American Display? No Way To Treat A President?

Posted on by William Teach

Eugene Robinson, Washington Post opinion writer, apparently thinks history started on January 20, 2009.

Will Obamacare Put Abortion Providers in Schools?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In a section innocuously titled “School-Based Health Clinics,” the House bill, H.R. 3200, seems to set up Democrats to invite groups like Planned Parenthood into our schools to serve as a school “health clinic.” (‘Sec. 399Z-1. School-Based Health Clinics.) And even more insidiously the bill provides for these “clinics” to be initiated immediately — effective […]
