Illinois GOP Follies: Establishment vs Reform in Champagne County

Illinois is drowning in debt and corruption. The state ranks as the worst state in nearly every category vying only with California for the worst-of rankings.

NPR: Again Falsely Blaming Giffords’ Shooting on Uncivil Political Rhetoric

Posted on January 10, 2012October 21, 2018 by Warner Todd Huston

I suppose we couldn’t get past the one-year anniversary of the crime against Democrat Representative Gabrielle Giffords without some Old Media outlet blaming the supposed “heated” political rhetoric of the day for her shooting. On Sunday we saw NPR doing just that. The fact is, no matter how many times they say it, politics and […]

Obama’s Electronic Medical Records Requirements Already Causing Job Loss

Posted on January 9, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

While the Old Media has been ecstatic over recent job numbers, claiming that some 200,000 jobs have been added to the economy, we should note that while Obama giveth Obama also taketh away. The media may be trying to claim the President has “created or saved” jobs (the latest weasel word is he’s created job […]

Mitt Romney: My Mass. Healthcare Plan Is ‘Fundamentally Conservative’

Posted on December 29, 2011December 29, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Romney did it again. On Fox News he linked Romneycare to conservative principles, an outrageous act in the eyes of any conservative. But hold the boat, people, because Romney didn’t exactly say that Romneycare itself is a conservative policy. And therein lies the weasel words that Romney has used to describe the Massachusetts healthcare plan […]

Obama Targeting Police Nationwide to Divert from Fast and Furious

Posted on December 23, 2011 by Rachel Alexander

Either there has been a huge increase in discrimination by law enforcement during the Obama administration, or Obama is targeting law enforcement for politically motivated reasons.

Romney, Newt, Bachtorum, Ron Puntsman: Who Cares?

Posted on December 7, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Like nearly every conservative in America today I am unimpressed by the current crop of GOP nominees for president and feel they all have major flaws — especially the two frontrunners Newt and Romney, both of whom have major deficits as far as staunch conservatives are concerned. But at this point I’ve come to realize […]

Help Stop The High Cost of Federal Regulations

Posted on December 7, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

(The House of Representatives is voting on this bill today…) One of the reasons that our economic recovery has been so slow is that the Obama administration has opened a continuous avalanche of regulations affecting jobs, hampering businesses, and costing all of us billions in lost revenue, taxation, and waste.

The Firefighters Were Right To Let That Home Burn To The Ground

Posted on December 7, 2011 by John Hawkins

Liberals believe in turning the American people into infants because small, helpless children need Big Daddy Government to take care of them.

This is why they love to see once proud and self-reliant people reduced to taking food stamps, welfare, and […]

CNN Soft Peddles ‘Occupy’ Lawbreaking, Asks if Police Have ‘Sympathy’ With Occupiers

Posted on December 3, 2011December 3, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

On November 30, CNN’s T. J. Holmes gave us a great example of how the Old Media is soft peddling the law breaking going on at the Occupy events in order to make these events seem far less dangerous and illicit than they are. Like many in the Old Media, Holmes seems desperate to give […]

How Radical is Obama? This Radical…

Posted on November 29, 2011November 28, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama is very successful at one thing: the bait and switch. He stands before America presenting a picture of a hard-working moderate and claims that he wants to work with the Republicans to get things done. In reality he won’t even meet with them. He talks about compromise, but never offers any. He mouths […]
