Death Of The West: Creeping Shariah

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The worst aspect of the Muslim invasion of the west is the alarming way that Islam is undermining Western culture using the west’s own liberal, democratic processes to do so.

So We’re Now Willing To Admit WMDs Were Found In Iraq Because Wikileaks Says So?

Posted on by John Hawkins

If the CIA had done its job and killed Julian Assange, there probably wouldn’t have been a huge new WikiLeaks document dump that may get even more Iraqis murdered for the terrible crime of helping the United States. Still, the info is out there and one surprising development has been how many liberals are now […]

 

While Obama Is Golfing, Mexico Is Shaking Itself To Pieces

Posted on by John Hawkins

Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress have refused to finish building the fence that was approved during the Bush years, they’ve refused to secure the border, and they’ve actually sued Arizona for trying to enforce the immigration laws that the federal government refuses to enforce.

Shorter Bob Woodward: Obama Is Guided By Politics In Afghanistan, Doesn’t Listen To Generals, & Doesn’t Care About Winning.

Posted on by John Hawkins

Libs should be flattered that conservatives are so ferocious these days. After all, we’re just imitating what they did in the Bush years.

Obama Says U.S. Can ‘Absorb Terror Attacks’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Eh, don’t worry, America. If there is another 9/11-like terror attack, The One says that we can “absorb it” and just become “stronger” because of it. It’s as if he wants it to happen, or something! In his latest book, Bob Woodward encountered a President Obama that seemed to casually blow off worry of another […]

U.S. College Pushes Anti-American, Pro-Islam Book

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We send our students to college to learn what they need to know to become good American citizens. From this knowledge we hope that they will realize useful, maybe even successful, lives. Perhaps they’ll even gain personal improvement through introspection from it all. At least that’s what we used to think. Apparently, these days we […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remembering that CNN’s President Jon Klein has touted its down-the-middle coverage and claims it is situated in the “center” of American politics, on a recent episode of Fareed Zakaria GPS, host Zakaria tried to claim that Lebanon’s terror group Hezbollah was some sort of model for religious tolerance. Someone should inform CNN that claiming Hezbollah […]

 

ACLU Sues Obama Over Targeted Killing Orders

Posted on by William Teach

That would be the headline, with a change to one word, were Bush still president, rather than the generic “U.S.” used by Bloomberg News. Anyhow, the ACLU is having their typical hissy fit, and doing their darned best to protect terrorists The American Civil Liberties Union sued the U.S. government over an alleged policy of […]

 

One Loud Jew Sends Media Spinning

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The newest faux outrage comes from the mouth of controversial Jewish Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. In a sermon from Israel, Rabi Yosef as much as called for God to commit genocide against the so-called Palestinians. I say “as much as” because he didn’t actually call for genocide, but he came awfully close for comfort. In fact, […]

 

Predicting How The Soviet Union Would Fall Fifty Years In Advance

Posted on by John Hawkins

Eric Hoffer is one of my favorite philosophers and students of human nature. Not only was he ahead of his time, he was ahead of our time when it came to understanding certain facets of human nature. That doesn’t mean I agree with everything he wrote, but this guy was one sharp cookie. How sharp? […]

 

New Silicon Graffiti Video: The Quotable Harry Reid

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

Over the past two centuries, the Democratic Party has had many powerful orators. Needless to say, Harry Reid, the Democrats’ Senate Majority Leader since November of 2006, has failed to live up to this proud heritage on a titanic scale. Which is why, from The Home Office in Carson City, Nevada, we’re proud to present, The Top Ten Harry Reid gaffes!

 

Obama Recess Appoints Lover of Communist Spy as Ambassador to El Salvador

Posted on by Dave Blount

Anyone who still seriously doubts that Barack Hussein Obama is an enemy of the United States and the freedom it represents is invited to explain this: He has appointed Maria del Carmen Aponte to be Ambassador to El Salvador.

NY Times Exposes Yet More Secrets From The War Against Terrorism

Posted on by William Teach

They are little secrets, but, loose lips sink ships, or, better put, idiot newspapers publishing operational secrets causes real American citizens to be butchered by jihadi barbarians. At first blush, the article, published on the front page of the Sunday edition, seems to be attempting to show that Barack Obama is no cream puff. No. […]

 

Obama Has No Policy on ‘Housing’ For Detainees Convicted by Military Tribunals

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

After the heming and hawing by the Obama administration over whether we should bring terror suspects to trial before military commissions, Obama’s DOJ and DOD finally decided that they could. But once again we see the half-way actions of the Obama administration shining through by the fact that, even as Obama seems to agree with […]

 

After a Year in Office, Biden Says Afghan War Policy Still Developing

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Vice President Joe Biden wants everyone to just calm down. He says that it’s “much too premature” to judge the Obama administration’s efforts in Afghanistan. Apparently, after a year of focusing on “the right war,” America is still waiting for the Obama administration to “develop” its policies there. But one thing seems sure, the Obama […]

 

The CIA Should Kill Julian Assange

Posted on by John Hawkins

Julian Assange is the founder of Wikileaks and as you have probably heard, he’s publicly posting a large number of uncensored intelligence documents he’s received. Happily, most of them haven’t done a lot of damage. However, the same can’t be said for the information he’s released about Afghan informants: THE Australian founder of WikiLeaks has […]

 

Obama’s Weak Foreign Policy Shows Again

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama once again shows his fecklessness and weakness in foreign policy with a decision by the State Department to allow the Palestinian Mission in Washington D.C. to fly the flag of its non-existent country.

PeBO Admin Finds Out That Dealing With North Korea ‘Taint That Easy

Posted on by William Teach

Obama actually had the correct posture early on in his presidency regarding North Korea, which was to ignore the provocations and histrionics of the country and Kim Jong Il.

Our Cowboy President Is Making The World Hate Us

Posted on by John Hawkins

Remember when liberals were saying that they looked forward to having a President in office who would help rebuild America’s reputation around the world? It wasn’t all that long ago, was it?

Democrat Governors’ Reason for Fear of the Immigration Lawsuit Shows How Power Hungry the DNC Is

Posted on by Heather Bachman

While the statement may bring a sigh of relief to some who are happy to see that at least our state leaders know what really needs attention, deeper within their rejection of the lawsuit, you see nothing but the dangerous hunger of the liberals.

Friday Stupid: EU Court Blocks Extradition Of Jihadis Because Barry Might Treat Them Meanly

Posted on by William Teach

Oh, ok, I know, it’s not necessarily fair to drag Obama into this, but, hey, he is The President, right? That was the standard set while Bush was president. Getting beyond that, this incredible article shows exactly what Obama and the Democrats want to do with the American court system, namely, outsource oversight and sovereignty […]

 

Obama’s Deadly Deadline: What President Obama Really Wants In Afghanistan

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Marc Theissen has an excellent piece today about Afghanistan and President Obama’s deadlines: The deadline is more than a tactical error; it is a strategic miscalculation that undermines almost every element of our efforts in Afghanistan. A withdrawal date undermines the very premise of a counterinsurgency strategy — that by protecting the population, you can […]

 

Wisc. Dem. Unaware that Arizona Borders with Mexico (Plus YouTube Pulls Video)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

(William Teach talked of this one earlier today, but the video he posted has been pulled. So, I am posting my little take on it adding a new source for the video…) Wisconsin Democrat Peggy West says that we shouldn’t accept Arizona’s anti-illegal immigrant law because Arizona isn’t a border state. If it were, West […]
