Hollywood Disconnect, Valuing ‘Equality’ More Than ‘Liberty’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We are soon to be regaled by yet another movie from Hollyweird that likely misunderstands the difference between liberty (or freedom) and equality.

WaPo Fact Checker: We Won’t Fact Check WaPo Articles

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Only others should be held accountable, not the Washington Post. I suppose that is the stance of Washington Post Fact Checker Glenn Kessler if I read correctly his somewhat confusing July 2 article answering to the measurably false story the Post published claiming Romney out sourced jobs when he worked for Bain Capital.

Obama Has Lied to Us For Years About Jobs Reports!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Once again we get a dismal jobs number from our government. So few jobs were created that we aren’t even keeping up with population growth!

Politico Forgets to Mention Democrats Caused Student Loan Interest Rate Hike Problem

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In its update on the coming student loan interest rate hike deal in Congress, Politico dances its blame-the-GOP tap dance once again saying that the coming rate hike is all just “politics.” But somehow Politico forgets to note that this interest rate problem is of the Democrats’ own making in the first place.

What would you say if a Koch Brothers, right-wing effort was pushed on Americans with the knowing assistance of National Public Radio — and big money was paid to NPR for the effort?

Too Many Republican Congressmen Giving Unions Free Tax Dollars

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For such a blue state, Illinois has some rather good Republicans in Congress, but on one issue many of them consistently fail. That is in their unfortunate support for Big Labor. The issue of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) is a perfect example of this penchant to support issues dear to the hearts of Big Labor. […]
