Culture of Hypercriticism

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

With the rise of the 24/7 news cycle and expansion of media allowing everyone to create their own stories on the internet, a new void has been created. It has been filled by hypercriticism. Hypercriticism used to be reserved for celebrities, as paparazzi closely tracked every move of Hollywood stars. But the spread of cable […]

 

If You’re Going to Play the Game of Politics, Play to Win

Posted on by Susannah Fleetwood

Last week, Meghan McCain–who, for better or worse, has become a player in the game of politics–went on Al Sharpton’s unwatchable show on MSNBC (which is most famous for being mocked on SNL) and stated the following with regard to Michelle Malkin and the late Andrew Breitbart: I really don’t understand the popularity of Michelle […]

Anyhow, this new poll shows dead, buried, and decomposing cat bounce for Obama (WRAL) President Barack Obama and likely Republican challenger Mitt Romney are in a virtual tie for North Carolina’s 15 electoral votes in this fall’s election, […]

Transparency? Secret, Soros, Left-Wing, 1% Summit Meeting Held Behind Closed Doors

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A luxury resort in Miami, Florida with police-guarded closed doors was the home of a secret George Soros-backed summit attended by deep-pocketed left-wing donors over the weekend of May 12. They met to plan their strategy for the 2012 elections and beyond. Yes, it was all hush hush and secret-like — so much for all […]

 

Obama Injects Himself Into Bios of Past Presidents on WH Website

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As unbelievable as it may sound for the sheer arrogance and audacity of it all, President Obama has injected himself into the bios pages of all our past presidents on the official White House website. So, when you go to read about our past presidents you’ll also get a campaign blurb about The One, the […]

 

Why is the New England Historic Genealogical Society Lying Abut Warren’s Amer. Indian Claims?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As each day rolls on in this investigation of the claims made by Massachusetts Democrat Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren that she has Native American heritage in her background we are finding fewer and fewer reasons to believe her. Sadly, she is dragging down once well-respected groups with her unprovable claims and Boston-based New England Historic […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama released a new video ad featuring former workers of GST Steel of Kansas City who lost their jobs because of Mitt Romney’s work at Bain Capital — at least according to Obama that’s why they lost their jobs. Unfortunately for team Obama, the truth seems to argue against his campaign lies. The ad […]

 

Two Cheers For the House of Representatives

Posted on by Michael Fell

Cheers for Indiana Democratic Rep Joe Donnelly, who broke rank with “progressives” to support the Fast and Furious subpoena in Congress. Rep Donnelly expressed support for the Oversight Committee’s subpoena of Attorney General Eric Holder over documents related to the failed Operation Fast and Furious scandal. This was a big step taken by Donnelly since […]

 

Dangers of the Ballot Initiative

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

At first blush, the idea of having ballot initiatives on election day seems like such a great, democratic idea. Unfortunately, all too often, all they are is a way to enlarge government, chip away at freedom, and cost the taxpayers money without returning the benefits promised. California is the perfect example of these troubles. The […]

 

WV Dems Not Thrilled About Anti-US Energy Obama, Voted for Felon Instead

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President Obama had an opponent in the West Virginia Democrat Primary and the fella did pretty well, too. Democrat Keith Judd was Obama’s primary opponent for the Democrat nomination for President on Tuesday and he garnered 40% of the cote, too. I’d say that’s pretty good for a convicted felon that is still serving time […]

Mitt Still Hasn’t Convinced

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On his nationally syndicated radio show on Wednesday, April 25, Republican talk show host Michael Medved gloated over the fact that Mitt Romney won a wave of primaries with no effort, hands down, with no competition. But has Romney convinced his base? Are voters enthusiastic for him? The facts don’t convince. When you look at […]

 

Why is the Georgia Democrat Party Employing a Convicted Criminal?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For some unknown reason, the state Democrat Party of Georgia’s Political Director, one Ali Rashad Richey, is a man with a long arrest record and no one seems the last bit worried about it in the Peach State — neither politicians nor the media. This man’s arrests are for such offenses as burglary, assault, battery, […]

 

Article On John Edwards Never Once Mentions ‘Democrat,’ But attacks Republicans Five Times

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Curiously, the same Atlantic article that rightfully points out that the Old Media was “late to report” on Democrat candidate for President John Edwards’ extramarital affairs an corruption makes its own strange omission from the storyline by somehow forgetting to mention even one time that Edwards was, indeed, a Democrat. Yet five times the piece […]

 

Petulant, Occupy Chicago Protesters Want Everything ‘Free’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This is the sort of thing that makes these idiotic Occupy whatevers… well, idiots. Via Marathon Pundit, a cadre of comrades in the Occupy Chicago “movement” decided it would be a cool idea to have a “fare strike” and crash Chicago’s mass transit system in order to ride for free. When Ruberry asked the gaudily […]

Lefty Group Calling for Disclosure of Conservative Donors has Felon as Advisor

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Recently the Washington Post had a story about a coalition of left-wing advocacy groups calling for their counterparts on the conservative side to reveal all their donors even though the law does not require it. The Post feels the crusade is a bit odd since most of the lefty groups doing the complaining also don’t […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Now the very same accused criminal that Chicago Democrats wanted people to vote for in Tuesday’s primary is being pressured to to step down from his office now that he won — pressured by the exact same Democrat officials that told people to vote for him only three days ago. This particular story is a […]

 

Should the GOP Hope For a Brokered Convention?

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

As the Republican presidential primary drags on, 27 debates later, with no candidate yet obtaining 50% of the delegates, speculation is increasing that the nominee may end up being selected in a brokered convention. If none of the candidates win a minimum of 1,144 delegates in the primaries and caucuses, then the Republican convention becomes […]

 

Electability: Obama trails Santorum but leads Romney in FL, OH, VA, NC

Posted on by Wintery Knight

Ask any supporter of Mitt Romney why they are supporting him and you will get one answer – electability. That’s what people keep hearing in the media – even on Fox News.

Obama’s Dept. of Justice Rejects Texas Voter I.D. Law

The Obama administration’s Department of Justice under embattled Attorney General Eric Holder has rejected Texas’ pre-clearance application for its new voter ID law.

Texas Dems Fundraiser Falsehoods, Wisc. Dems, More False Accusations Against True The Vote

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Using falsehoods to sell candidates to voters has an unfortunate but long history in these United States. It is bad enough when mud is slung between single candidates in hard fought electoral contests, but when official communications from established political parties is based on outright falsehoods, one has to take a step back. Such is […]

 

Remember The Meme About Santorum Being “Anti-Women”?

Posted on by William Teach

The Politico and the Democrats, but, I repeat myself, thought that the contraception mandate issue was the perfect issue for Democrats, as they could paint Republicans, and Santorum, as “anti-women” (despite marrying one and having three daughters). How’s that working out? (Washington Post) Over the past several weeks, Republicans have watched squeamishly as presidential contender […]

The first in my “Challengers” series of interviews I conducted with up-and-coming candidates running across the country. Here I interview candidate for Utah’s 4th Congressional District, Mia Love.
