Who Should Watch Over Kids, Parents or Bureaucrats?

Posted on by Dave Blount

Runaway statism continues to lurch into absurdity in Airstrip One, where parents can be prevented from playing with their own children because they have not received the proper credentials from Big Government and therefore might be child molesters: Parents are being banned from playing with their children in council recreation areas because they have not […]

 

Congress To Fix The College Football National Championships? Wow, Is There Nothing They Can’t Do?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Just when you think Congress can’t find a way to further involve themselves in every teeny-tiny bit of minutiae in America, they find a new way to surprise you: A senator whose undefeated home state school was bypassed for the college football national championship last season urged President Barack Obama on Wednesday to ask the […]

 

More Pocket Knife Hysteria

Posted on by Dave Blount

Congratulations to 6-year-old Zachary Christie on having his sentence lessened from 45 days in a snake pit to a 3–5-day suspension for the non-crime of bringing his Cub Scout camping knife-fork-spoon to school. Unfortunately, Zachary’s case isn’t an isolated incident. This one may even top it: A 17-year-old Eagle Scout in upstate New York has […]

 

Hey, Cool, Obama And The Dems Finally Have A Health Care Opponent

Posted on by William Teach

I’m guessing the Washington Post forgot all about the Republican electa-critters who decried government run health care and offered up all sorts of plans, not too mention the TEA Parties, and all those folks who were questioning their electa-critters at Townhalls, who knew more about the legislation than the electa-critters.

Nanny State Update: New York District Bans Kids From Riding Bikes to School

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

America’s kids are too fat. Right? Don’t we hear that all the time? Isn’t it a steady mantra from the left that America is suffering from an “epidemic” of obesity? So, shouldn’t we want to encourage kids to get outdoors? Wouldn’t it be a good thing if kids rode a bicycle to school? Not to […]

 

What’s the Difference Between a Conservative and a Liberal?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

People often wonder what is the difference between a conservative and a liberal. The simple fact of the matter is that the major difference is that conservatives wonder first what it is they are responsible for while liberals wonder first what everyone else should be doing for them.

Moonbats Reduce Monument to Communism’s Victims to a Joke

Posted on by Dave Blount

Communist tyrants killed over 100 million of their own subjects during the 20th century, and inflicted unthinkable suffering on hundreds of millions more. But since one death is a tragedy, but a million deaths are only a statistic — and more importantly because Western society is controlled by liberals highly sympathetic to communist ideology — […]

 

Canadian Police Use Gun Registry to Confiscate Guns

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If this isn’t the perfect evidence of why any freedom loving western citizen should be against gun registries, then you can’t make the case at all. Over the last few weeks the police in Toronto, Canada have been stormtrooping through the homes of average, everyday Torontonians that have had the misfortune to have appeared on […]

 

Michigan Authorities Attack Woman for Babysitting Neighbor Kids

You read that headline right. A woman who was watching her neighbor’s kids each school morning for 40 minutes before the bus came is being accused of being a criminal by the State of Michigan.

Leftist Thugs Wreak Havoc in Honduras

Posted on by Dave Blount

When our government’s allies in Honduras — the ones who support Mel Zelaya’s attempted communist coup — found out the Hugo Chavez wannabe was back in the country, they ran riot: After several weeks of relative peace and calm in Honduras — and no curfews, despite what the international media consistently misreports — former president […]

 

Is it American to be Forced Into a Union? In Obama’s America it is!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Welcome to Obama’s America where you are forced to become a union member even if you had no idea you were being inducted into one. In fact, in Obama’s America you won’t even know you are IN a union until you notice union dues are being withheld from your checks. This is the case in […]

 

Sexual Harassment Rules Employed to Silence Dissent

Posted on by Dave Blount

When you live in a totalitarian society run by demented ideologues, it’s safest to keep your mouth shut and your head down, as a professor at East Georgia College discovered after publicly noting that the innocent have no protection from bogus sexual harassment charges: Professor Thomas Thibeault made the mistake of pointing out — at […]

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

If you stayed at home and watched the news this weekend, you may not have heard about the teeny tiny fringe of angry protesters that showed up in Washing, DC this weekend.
