Rudy Flub Brings Out Vultures

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For several days now the Old Media has been indulging in a steady attack on former Mayor Rudy Giuliani that tends to misdirect readers away from his criticism of President Obama. First by making what Giuliani said of Obama seem more adulatory than it was and second by focusing on a rather unexceptional remark that […]

 

The Ultra-Flexible WMD Definition

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

Despite finding saarin, mustard gas, and other chemical weapons, and despite various prison sentences for those who used them in Iraq or those who sold them, apparently, the only thing that would have satisfied the left that Saddam had WMDs would have been discovering a giant SPECTRE-sized Ken Adam-styled laboratory with men in white lab coats hard at work caught in the act. But as Elizabeth Blackney, AKA “Media Lizzy” notes on her Facebook page, my how the definition of WMDs has changed…

 

U.S. Judge Comes to Rescue of Terrorist, Throws Out Confession

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

(I know William already posted the story, but allow me a second to rant…) Get ready folks because this is the world of terrorist coddling that Barack Obama is setting up for us from now on. A left-wing, multicultural-loving, half-wit federal judge has sided with those who would kill us all by throwing out most […]

 

Some Cultures Aren’t ‘Just as Good as Ours’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Multiculturalism is the dream state of the extreme left, not just in the U.S.A. but worldwide. From the pointy-heads at university, to the self-congratulatory oafs in Brussels and Washington D.C., these leftists sternly warn us all that any assumption that one culture is somehow better than another is “racist,” or at the least gauche. Everyone […]

 

Obama Wants Guantanamo Detainees To Suffer

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It is now nearing the one-year anniversary of the day Obama claimed that Guantanamo would be shut down. With all his rhetoric on the facility, I thought that Obama was all about the “humane” treatment of the terrorists being held at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility? Right? I mean, wasn’t Obama all we-weed up that […]

 

Lefty Narrative: Rapes, Torture at ‘Iran’s Guantanamo’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A left wing narrative has for some time been developing centered on abuse of Iran’s democratic demonstrators at the hands of Iranian officials. You may have seen the shocking news about forced rapes and torture of Iranians imprisoned by the Mullahs in Iran but it is how the story is being sold to the west […]

 

“You wanted to have peaceful Germans. Now you have them. Don’t complain.”

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Regarding increasing German troops in Afghanistan via the Weekly Standard: Stinner acknowledged that the Germans “need to do their fair share” but that the cultural hurdles to greater German military involvement were great. “Germans are the most risk-averse people in the world,” he says. And they are not so easily inclined to go to war, […]

 

Peace in our time

Posted on by Ron Coleman

Iran’s nuclear arsenal is a problem for which the blame can be shared across all Western regimes.:  And I don’t blame Russia, China or North Korea, really, because they’re doing exactly what Russia, China and North Korea will do.:  But this is not a Republican or a Democrat thing; it’s a disaster thing and a […]

There hasn’t been much news about it in the U.S. but an American citizen has been arrested by Cuban authorities and has been placed in one of Cuba’s most secure facilities.

An Obama Doctrine? What Obama Doctrine?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Last night on Twitter, Allah Pundit from Hot Air was going off on the idea that Obama’s Nobel Prize speech was important because it laid down some sort of foreign policy doctrine. His comments were right on point: What groundbreaking “doctrine” did he really lay out? “Sometimes war is necessary, but we should also use […]

 

Lewis Diuguid: Ice Cream for Breakfast and a Unicorn in Every Garage

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Kansas City Star columnist Lewis Diuguid is, I am forced to believe, completely addicted to some sort of hallucinogenic drug. What else could explain Diuguid’s serious echoing of the unserious proposal of a federal “department of peace” offered by that well known UFO enthusiast from Ohio, Dennis Kucinich? Oddly, Diuguid seems to think that this […]

 

The End of History or a History of the End?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A few years ago, Francis Fukuyama was widely criticized for his book claiming that mankind had seen “The End of History.” Fukuyama contended that liberal democracy had won the debate over which system was best and, therefore, there was necessary no more “moving forward” for man’s social order. While Fukuyama might have thought the question […]

 

NPR: The Internet is at Fault for Fort Hood Assassin

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

National Public Radio (NPR) has a bit of foolishness penned by Daniel Schorr that really shows how useless NPR really is. In an pristine example of Schorr’s great intellect, he’s decided that the Internet is responsible for Nidal Hasan’s murderous rampage at Fort Hood earlier in the month. Folks, this is the sort of hack, […]

 

Europe is Our (Insert Female Pejorative Here)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

**And now a word from my inner swaggerer… Europe is a chick’s name. That’s right, you heard me. The word Europa from which Europe is derived is of feminine gender in origin. In Greek mythology Europa was a Phoenician princess abducted by Zeus. Zeus disguised himself as a bull to pull off the caper. So, […]

 

Newsweek: Nidal Hasan, It’s Not Islam, It’s a ‘Military on the Brink’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Andrew Bast of Newsweek thinks he’s got the real reason behind Major Nidal Hasan’s murderously criminal rampage at Fort Hood last Thursday. Could it be that Hasan was steadily radicalized and steeped in hateful Islamofascism? Could it be a jihad mindset that sent Hasan into that military clinic yelling Allahu Akbar as he shot at […]

 

Mass Murdering Muslim Major Worked to Assist Obama’s Transition Team Through University Project

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Plus, Ron Reagan couples “tea baggers” with Murderer Nidal Hasan. In 2008 The George Washington University Homeland Security Institute (HSPI) initiated a transition task force to help craft homeland security policies during Obama’s transition period. In May of 2009 HSPI finished its report titled, “Thinking Anew-Security Priorities for the Next Administration.” One of the members […]

UN Says Gender ‘Not Fixed,’ Is ‘Changeable’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

UN “Special Rapporteur” Martin Scheinin recently filed a report with the UN titled “Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms While Countering Terrorism” in which he states that human gender is not a fixed thing but a mere “social construct” that is “changeable over time.” In this paper Scheinin, the “Special Rapporteur” — I do […]

 

Obama Abandons Abused Women in Afghanistan

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President Barack Obama is putting the finishing touches on making a mockery out of the unsupportable claim that Democrats care about women’s rights by his signal to the Afghan Taliban, warlords, strongmen, militias, and tribal leaders that he’s ready to negotiate with anyone there in order to smooth his efforts in that troubled region. President […]

 

Where I Come to Mark Kirk’s Aid

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I am not a Mark Kirk fan. For me he is and always has been far too “moderate” on social issues and his now (maybe) retracted Cap and Tax vote sticks in my craw pretty badly. But Steve Benen of the Washington Monthly blog Political Animal unfairly and illicitly slammed Kirk on something he said […]
