Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The despair in the field of medicine over Obama’s government takeover of America’s once vibrant healthcare system can be overwhelming for America’s doctors. Many have said that if Obamacare is implemented, they’ll hang up their stethoscope and retire. The gloom is overpowering. But WAIT! Help is on the way. A new effort is underway to […]

 

This Just In, Liberals Are Murderers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston What is it that the extremists of the anti-war left, liberals, and Democrats say about the U.S. practice of capturing and detaining terror suspects? Don’t they say that it is wrong and evil? To that end, the left has through constant abuse of our own legal system made it practically untenable […]

 

Obama Turns Over Our Oil to Russia

Posted on by Dave Blount

Yet another example of the consequences of putting a moonbat ideologue who doesn’t particularly like this country in charge of it: oil in the Gulf of Mexico has been surrendered to Russia: The Obama administration is poised to ban offshore oil drilling on the outer continental shelf until 2012 or beyond. Meanwhile, Russia is making […]

 

When Indians Are Better Cowboys Than the Cowboys

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last week an article appeared in the Wall Street Journal that gave me pause even as it evoked outrage. It proved that the India has more backbone than America does where it concerns portraying Islamic terror in films. The article was penned by Arun Venugopal. The writer is a young Indian-born, American-raised reporter who has […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It’s bad enough that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is giving short shrift to American manufacturers and our economy by ordering extravagant new crystal stemware from Sweden to make the crystal cabinets in America’s embassies sparkle impressively, but now we learn that Barack Obama has told the U.S. relief forces in Haiti not to fly […]

 

AP Slips in ‘Poverty’ as Reason For Nigerian Massacres

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

True to its fealty to left-wing, western pop psychology, the Associated Press thinks it knows one of the principle reasons why roving gangs of Muslims are hacking Christians to death and burning their villages to the ground in Nigeria: It’s “poverty.” Liberals that struggle to understand why man is often so cruel to his fellows […]

 

Obama Signals British That They Aren’t So Special

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama, it was claimed, would “repair” our reputation both with our enemies and our friends. So how has he done? Let’s take Britain for example. Has he “fixed” our special relationship with the British Isles? Well, if by fixed you mean he has fastened that relationship to a negative track, well then “fixed” it […]

 

Bottoms up!

Posted on by Ron Coleman

Today is the Jewish holiday of Purim. (Unlike the biblically-based Jewish holidays, this is one, like Chanuka, on which orthodox Jews such as myself are allowed to blog!) As well explained in the Book of Esther, it’s the holiday of turnabout, surprises, false identities, intrigue, perhaps some emotional legerdemain, and not a little spiritual confusion. […]

 

IRS Plane Attacker Part of ‘Right Wing,’ Christmas Bomber Just a ‘Lone Wolf’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

No clearer difference can be seen in how the Old Media and its left-wing compatriots treat mass killers, terrorists and nutjobs than the way Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab and Joe Stack have been portrayed by the Old Media and the left. Abdulmutallab, the jihadi Christmas Bomber, was treated as an aberration unconnected with any larger group […]

Photojournalist Mad at RightWeb’s Use of His Photo

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A photojournalist from the St. Petersburg Times in Florida is very upset at you people. He wants you all to know that you should be ashamed of yourselves for misusing his photo. Ed Fountain is the photog that took the famous picture that the right-o-sphere guffawed at a few weeks ago showing President Obama strangely […]

 

Liz Cheney: Biden Has Famously Tenuous Relationship With Reality

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I had the great privilege of meeting Liz Cheney and hearing her speak at the Red State convention in Atlanta this past August. She’s surprisingly tiny, but, in that small package, is an incredible mind and a hell of a backbone. I adore her and am so glad to see she is becoming an increasingly […]

 

Amnesty Inat’l Am Nasty for Supporting Taleban

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If it’s anti-west, anti-British, Anti-American, Anti-Israeli… well, be sure that Amnesty International supports it. Here’s another bit of proof for that bromide with AmNasty International’s suspension of human rights specialist Gita Sahgal. Why was Sahgal removed from her AI position? Because she criticized AI for supporting Moazzam Begg, Britain’s biggest supporter of al Qaeda, the […]

Uwe Romeike may now stay as a legal resident in Morrisstown, Tennessee, […]

 

The Revolutions Finally Got Televised

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

While some of the music and (especially) the sound effects chosen by Glenn Beck and his production crew are bit melodramatic, the video from his “Revolutionary Holocaust” segment from Friday night is a must-watch program, placing Hitler’s National Socialism, and International Communism in its various forms — and the European intellectuals of the early 20th century who championed both forms of barbarism into context.

Left-Wing Prof Uses State Funded University To Launch Attack on U.S.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Every once in a while I like to blow off some steam and deliver a good rant. So get ready for my rant du jour… It’s like a bad parody of the worst propensity of the American professoriate to be, well, as un-American as one can get. But here we have another prosaic example of […]

 

Poor excuse

Did you hear about this travesty in Haiti? Earthquake victims, writhing in pain and grasping at life, watched doctors and nurses walk away from a field hospital Friday night after a Belgian medical team evacuated the area, saying it was concerned about security.
