WV Dems Not Thrilled About Anti-US Energy Obama, Voted for Felon Instead

Posted on May 9, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

President Obama had an opponent in the West Virginia Democrat Primary and the fella did pretty well, too. Democrat Keith Judd was Obama’s primary opponent for the Democrat nomination for President on Tuesday and he garnered 40% of the cote, too. I’d say that’s pretty good for a convicted felon that is still serving time […]

Obama Lies About Ohio Bridge Repairs For a Second Time

Posted on May 4, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently Obama and his administration operate under that old, underhanded adage that if you tell a lie long enough and loud enough it becomes “truth” because Obama has done it again by lying about how his jobs bill was to have been instrumental in the repairs of bridges that span the Ohio River. Back in […]

Posted on May 3, 2012May 4, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston Obama must not have been paying too much attention to what his folks at NATO have been doing as they prepare for the summit coming up on May 20, 21 in Chicago because the new video touting the gathering has a few whoppers included. Namely that Chicago is the capital of […]

Grease is the Word for ‘Emergency’ Increase in Government Powers

Posted on May 3, 2012May 3, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Democrat State Representative Kathy Webb of Arkansas is so alarmed that she says she needs “emergency powers” to make sure her stupid, thoughtless citizens do the right thing.

Jon Lovitz: Another Hollywierder Mugged by Reality

Posted on May 2, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Last week comedian Jon Lovitz appeared on a podcast to talk about his years on NBC’s Saturday Night Live.

Video: Costs of Energy Killing Small Businesses

Posted on May 2, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Maria Tworek owns and runs the Brass Monkey Sports Bar in Omaha, Nebraska. It takes a lot of electricity to keep her business going, a commodity whose price just seems to rise.

Video: Bragging Mr. President? Heroes Don’t Spike the Football

Posted on May 1, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

This video perfectly illuminates the unseemliness of Obama’s constant gloating and bragging that he, himself killed Osama bin Laden. This video comes out just in time as members of the SEALs are slamming Obama for bragging so much about bagging binnie. As the caption notes: America knows who deserves the credit for killing Osama Bin […]

Why is the Georgia Democrat Party Employing a Convicted Criminal?

Posted on April 26, 2012December 30, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

For some unknown reason, the state Democrat Party of Georgia’s Political Director, one Ali Rashad Richey, is a man with a long arrest record and no one seems the last bit worried about it in the Peach State — neither politicians nor the media. This man’s arrests are for such offenses as burglary, assault, battery, […]

Posted on April 21, 2012April 20, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Old-timer Phil Donahue, about who rumor has it used to have some sort of TV show back in the previous century, has recently turned up on NPR for some unexplainable reason. And, like his long past career, he’s dwelling equally in the past with his new comments about the authorization of force against Iraq in […]

Media Misleads on California Prop 29

Posted on April 19, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Californians are being asked once again to fund a government boondoggle with a ballot initiative which will levy more taxes on an already over taxed state.

ANWR: It’s Been ’10 Years,’ We Could Have Been Reaping Rewards Now

Posted on April 18, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Ten years ago this month the Democrats defeated the bill that would have allowed us to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Preserve (ANWR).

No, Left-Wingers, the ‘Founders’ Did NOT Approve of Mandates or Obamacare

Posted on April 16, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Every few weeks leftist supporters of Obamacare will float the “fact” that our founders passed the first “national healthcare law” claiming that this supports Obamacare. The truth is, though, the history they claim supports them doesn’t in any way prove that the founders would approve of mandates in general or Obamacare in particular. This failed […]

Arrogant Democrats Think They Have Role to ‘Protect’ Titanic Wreck Site

Posted on April 15, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

The Titanic sunk 100 years ago this year. The great ship went down in international waters as a vessel of British registry. When it went down the United States was barely a presence on the international stage. Yet now, 100 years later, American Democrats imagine they have the duty and power to control what will […]

Healthcare Death Panels Are Inevitable

Posted on April 12, 2012April 12, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

>Much was made of Governor Sarah Palin’s use of the term “government death panels” to lambaste Obamacare. Left-wingers and Democrats everywhere scoffed at the term and accused Palin of demagogy and even lying. But the fact is, government death panels of all sorts are inevitable once government takes over healthcare. In fact, once government takes […]

Petulant, Occupy Chicago Protesters Want Everything ‘Free’

Posted on April 10, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

This is the sort of thing that makes these idiotic Occupy whatevers… well, idiots. Via Marathon Pundit, a cadre of comrades in the Occupy Chicago “movement” decided it would be a cool idea to have a “fare strike” and crash Chicago’s mass transit system in order to ride for free. When Ruberry asked the gaudily […]

A Morality Tale Warning Against Liberalism

Posted on April 10, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

There is an old joke from the Soviet Union that perfectly encapsulates the stupidity, hate, and failure that is modern liberalism… and yes I am saying there is no material difference between American liberals and Soviet communists. Here is the story: Once in the Soviet Union Ivan and Mikhail were equals. But Ivan found a […]

Politico Hyperventilates Over What Might Happen If Obamacare Mandate Falls

Posted on April 1, 2012 by William Teach

So far, Liberals have been attempting to position who’s to blame if the Mandate falls, and the blame doesn’t include “it’s unconstitutional” and “people really hated it.” They’ve also pushing the notion that if the Mandate is ruled stupid, er, unconstitutional, then single payer should be instituted, what I think of as the “if you […]

Finally! Government Tackles The Scourge Of “Distracted Walking”

Posted on March 31, 2012 by John Hawkins

You name it and there’s some power hungry government tyrant out there who wants to regulate it.

Comparison: Politico Lauds ‘Forceful’ Gov’t Obamacare Argument, Fox Notes it was Laughed At

Posted on March 28, 2012March 27, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

The first arguments by the government in support of the already wildly over budget Obamacare law were heard at the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday and there is an interesting lesson in media bias that can be seen in the reporting of the day’s presentation. The difference between how the government’s opening arguments was reported […]

Obama’s YouTube Hack-U-Mentary Censors Most Negative Feedback

Posted on March 23, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently it’s all sweetness and light, unicorns and fuzzy bunnies in the YouTube comments section of Obama’s new hagiographic, hack-u-mentary short film directed by Academy Award-winning director David “star-struck” Guggenheim. Barely a cross word is seen there about the Obammessiah since most negative comments seem likely to have been deleted from the YouTube page leaving […]

Now Illinois Dems Want Crook They Supported in Primary to Step Down?

Posted on March 22, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Welfare, Not Work: Obama Shuts Down Minority Business Agency

Posted on March 20, 2012March 20, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Hosannas. Obama has finally cut some federal spending. But noting which agency he shut down is sort of emblematic of his whole welfare/big government-pushing presidency.

Chicago Democrats Say Voting for a Criminal is Better Than Voting for Republicans

Posted on March 20, 2012March 20, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston
