Rahm Emanuel: Another Tax Avoiding Obama Appointee

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I am beginning to think that our tax collecting agencies across the country send out a form letter to everyone that is in arrears with their taxes to immediately apply for a job in Barack “Most Ethical Administration in Decades” Obama’s administration. Here we have another Obama lieutenant that didn’t pay his taxes until someone […]

 

Video: Gov. Christie Knows Teachers Unions are the Schoolyard Bullies

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has decided that to protect our children’s futures beating the schoolyard bully is the way to go. But who is the bully? Is it the sign carrying, whiney teachers? No, it’s their powermongering, kid unfriendly unions pushing teachers to act like bullies. The unions are the bullies and THAT is […]

 

John Hawkins Vs. Robert Reich On The Stimulus. I Was Right And He Was Wrong Then — And Now.

Posted on by John Hawkins

When Barack Obama was originally pushing his ginormous stimulus bill, like many conservatives, I pointed out that it wasn’t going to work. Among other things, I noted history has shown that stimulus bills of this sort don’t get the economy moving, I pointed out that there wasn’t even that much Keynesian stimulus in the bill:  […]

 

National Healthcare Saves $$ By Letting Some Patients Suffer

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Governor Sarah Palin once complained of those “death panels” in the President’s healthcare policy, a scoff that infuriated Obamacare’s supporters. But the fact is, by its very nature a nationalized healthcare system like the one that Obama wants acts as a “death panel” by denying care to save money. We don’t have to guess at […]

 

Remember The Days When Dems Considered These Bad Jobs?

Posted on by William Teach

Going back to when unemployment was at historical lows, Democrats continuously claimed that the US was not adding “good jobs,” because many of them were temporary and/or part time. Today? Not a peep Employers added 431,000 nonfarm jobs nationwide in May, the biggest increase in a single month in a decade, the Labor Department said […]

 

Harry Reid’s Push To Nationalize ALL Cop/Firemen Unions

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Senate Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid is quietly trying to nationalize rules governing every police, fire and first responder union in the nation. Through the benignly named Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act (H.R.413) Reid wants all first responders represented by collective bargaining rules emanating from Washington D.C.

New Jersey Teachers Threw Away Decades of Goodwill

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The New Jersey Star-Ledger has a wonderful little editorial excoriating New Jersey’s teachers for having destroyed their own reputation with the public because of their petulant behavior towards Governor Chris Christie’s attempts to balance New Jersey’s over spent budget. Take a gander at this… Once the patient darlings who nurtured our kids, teachers now look […]

 

Shame: Nine GOP Reps Supporting Union Bailout

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For decades unions have mishandled their pension funds. These funds have been embezzled into the pockets of union chiefs, they have been wasted on needless expenses, and have been spent away on left-wing political causes not to mention simple mismanagement and bad investing. It has gotten so bad that few union pension funds for the […]

The End of Our Legal System: Judges Joining Unions?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Unions are meant for one thing and one thing only: to “get” for its members. They have one purpose and that is to take as much from an employer as they can take, to get as much money and benefits as they can get away with. Unions are not interested in assuring quality workmanship, they […]

If you can’t wait to see what happens next under Hope & Change, just look to Venezuela, where Obama prototype Hugo Chavez is resolving food shortages by confiscating food: Venezuela’s National Guard seized roughly 120 tons of merchandise Thursday from the country’s largest food company, the guard’s commander said.

As We Suffer, Gov’t Salaries/Jobs/Union Payoffs Grow

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The City of Charlotte, North Carolina is still suffering an unemployment rate hovering around 12 percent.

SEIU Thugs Terrorize Teenage Boy

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Nice work, SEIU. Service Employee International Union members descended upon the home of a banker to protest the banker’s work. The banker wasn’t home but his teenage son was and he was home alone and the 14 bus loads of union thugs scared the heck out of the poor kid. This was no political protest, […]

 

Now That The Deficit Is Ginormous, Dems Queasy Over Deficit Spending

Posted on by William Teach

So, after taking over Congress in 2007 and saying “you think you Republicans know how to spend? Bah! You’ve only learned to max out a few starter credit cards with low ceilings. We’ll show you pikers how max out the platinum cards and purchase a $500k house while making $50k a year”, now Democrats are […]

 

Attacking Arizona Blows Up in San Diego’s Face

Posted on by Dave Blount

When the sanctimonious liberal twits running San Diego joined San Franfreakshow, La-La Land, etc. in denouncing Arizona for taking a tentative step toward enforcing immigration law, they forgot that San Diego needs Arizona much more than vice versa. San Diego tourism leaders and hoteliers fear they could lose a sizable chunk of business this summer […]

 

Fannie Mae’s Involvement in Global Warming Caper

Posted on by Dave Blount

The infamously corrupt Fannie Mae — a black hole into which our money continues to flow by the $billions, even after its instrumental role in causing the 2008 financial collapse — may have found a way to make itself profitable. It has carved out a niche in the biggest swindle in the history of the […]

 

Enemies to Our Country in the Classroom

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

These “frail racist white people” better beware of La Raza “forefront of the revolution,” at least so says Mexican racist and hatemonger Ron Gochez. Ordinarily we would all just roll our eyes at yet another half-wit, violence pusher that wants to destroy the USA and everything it stands for. But Mr. Gochez is not just […]

Illinois One of the Worst Legal Climates in the Country

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Institute for Legal Reform has completed its 2010 rankings of the lawsuit climate in the various states and Illinois comes in at a dismal 45th place. If Obama needs some help, that would be 45 out of 50 states (not 57 or 58 states as he said during the campaign). This overly litigious lawsuit […]

 

Study Shows Businesses Weren’t Cutting Jobs Until…

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Associated Press made an interesting concession — likely without even knowing they did so — in a recent report on the “new normal” of permanent job loss in Obama’s economy. The AP admitted that until the recession, American businesses weren’t firing people simply so improve the bottom line as many anti-business, left-wingers have been […]

 

British Government Offers Teens Jobs on X-Rated Websites

Posted on by Dave Blount

Big Government can help us in so many ways. Admittedly the massive burden of taxation and regulation it imposes drives millions out of work. But not to worry, bureaucrats are always there to catch you when you fall. They can even help you find a job consistent with their own liberal values: Some government-run unemployment […]

 

Report: May 12, 2010 Sarah Palin In Chicago

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In the deep blue sea of the People’s Republic of Chicagoland, Sarah Palin shined like a light of liberty among the darkness of Mayor Richard “King” Daley’s perverse domain. Palin brought hope into the home of President Obama’s cynical “Chicago Way” style of politics, and I was there to witness the May 12 show. Sarah […]

 

Obama To Whine About GOP Blocking New Jobs Bill Today, Activists Smack Him In Buffalo

Posted on by William Teach

This is not a repeat from early 2009 President Barack Obama on Thursday will urge Congress to move forward on new job creation measures and pounce on Republicans for “obstructing efforts to rebuild” the U.S. economy, a White House official said. Wait, wasn’t the point of the Stimulus to create jobs? And the health care […]

 

Illegal Immigration Proponents Support Slavery

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Illegal immigration is another area where the true racist and misogynistic tendencies of Liberals/Leftists appear. They have turned a blind eye to things like human trafficking as well as other extremely harmful aspects of illegal immigration, not only to our own economy, but to the people coming here illegally themselves. Instead, they are currently more […]

 

Obama’s Faith-Based Programs Pushing Global Warming, Climate Change, Green Issues

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Widely reviled by the left, Bush’s faith-based initiatives were claimed to be evidence that Bush was a “religious zealot” trying to destroy America with evil Christianity. Now, two years into the Obama administration, we are seeing what Obama intends to do with his continuation of Bush’s faith-based offices: he wants to use them to push […]

 

Obama’s First Stealth EFCA Styled Rules Implementation

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of the aspects of the inaptly named Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) is the card check rule that is meant to make creating a union easier for unions and harder to resist for employers.
