Netanyahu Meets Obama’s Big Bus

Posted on by William Teach

Does Obama wake up and say “which ally can I tick off today?” He has managed to annoy the Brits and their leaders, including the Queen, multiple times, Sarkozy, Merkel, the Israeli’s multiple times, the Pakistani’s, Iraqi leaders, Hamid Karzai several times. Now it is Binyamin Netanyahu’s chance to meet Obama’s bus, which is a […]

 

‘New Hope’ For American Docs: Help Them Move Overseas, Won’t You?

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 […]

 

Obama Orders Army NOT To Fly U.S. Flag in Haiti

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’s Indonesia Trip Timing Questioned

Posted on by William Teach

At first blush, I looked at the headline of this story (Timing of Obama Indonesia Trip Questioned) and thought “come on, give me a break. Presidents go on international trips. Lighten up.” Then I read the substance, and, while I do not really question the timing (seriously, does it matter if Obama is here or […]

 

Majority Think Obama And Dems Harming America’s World Standing

Posted on by William Teach

How can this be? What with all the bowing Obama’s engaged in and talking with enemy regimes and giving the Queen of England a cool iPod with his own photos and vids, how can this happen? Heck, Barry was given a Nobel Peace Prize! A majority of Americans say the United States is less respected […]

 

Remember When Obama Was Going To Heal The Rifts With The World? Yeah, About That

Posted on by William Teach

Remember this quote as delivered to Obama from TOTUS? The Bush administration has done so much damage to American foreign relations that the president take a more active role in diplomacy than might have been true 20 or 30 years ago. If we think that meeting with the president is a privilege that has to […]

 

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. […]

 

Now The Brits are Having Tea Parties!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It’s just plain odd, but funny and telling all at the same time. Apparently the Brits are going to have their own tea party to protest their own plight of over taxation. Accordingly, Member of the European Parliament Daniel Hannan is sponsoring a Brighton Tea Party to be held on February 27. Hannan thinks that […]

 

Sweet! Obama Admin. Blows Off England Again

Posted on by William Teach

Remember when Obama and the left would make our relations with the world all rainbows and unicorn poots? Well, how’s that working out? Washington refused to endorse British claims to sovereignty over the Falkland Islands yesterday as the diplomatic row over oil drilling in the South Atlantic intensified in London, Buenos Aires and at the […]

 

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 […]

 

Obama’s New Name For Iraq War

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The indispensible Jake Tapper of ABC News is reporting that the Obama Administration is about to rename the Iraq war from “Operation Iraqi Freedom” to “Operation New Dawn.” Gates writes that by changing the name at the same time as the change of mission — the scheduled withdrawal of U.S. combat troops — the US […]

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 […]

 

Glenn Greenwald’s Naivete About Bush Bashing On National Security

Posted on by John Hawkins

It’s really amusing to watch the scales fall from Glenn Greenwald’s eyes on national security. You can almost feel the hurt come through the page as he tries to figure out why his fellow libs are giving Obama a pass for the same national security measures they viciously criticized during the Bush years: Just look […]

 

America Should Let Some Other Nation Take The Lead In Haiti

Posted on by John Hawkins

Like most Americans, I’m glad that we help out other nations after disasters. It’s good Christian charity and hopefully, it helps out our image around the world. That being said, we’re not in charge of disaster relief for the planet. Nobody in America raised our hand and said, “Ok, every time there’s a tragedy somewhere, […]

Another Example of Backwards Islamic ‘Culture’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

U.S. troops in Afghanistan are having a hard time understanding what is a strange Afghan cultural practice to them. The practice can be summed up in the ages old Afghan phrase, “women are for children, boys are for pleasure.” Yes, that phrase means what you think it means. It has been well known for a […]

 

Homeschooling German Family Awarded Political Asylum in U.S., Where is U.S. Media?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A federal immigration judge in Tennessee has awarded political asylum to a German couple who were threatened by the German government with having their children forcibly removed from their home because the couple chose homeschooling instead of sending them to state approved schools. 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 […]
