Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Here we have a typical encounter between an all caring, more civilized, smarter, and more loving Democrat and one of those eeeevil Republicans. As soon as politics is brought up, hilarity ensues.

 

Minimum Wage-Pushing Democrats Don’t Pay Congressional Interns

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Hypocrisy, they name is Democrat. Michigan’s Mackinac Center for Public Policy has laid bare another example of the hypocrisy of Congressional Democrats. In this case while those representatives that are all hot and bothered to push an ever rising minimum wage law are making noise about how inequities exist in the workplace, these same congressmen […]

 

Secret Ballot Protection Wins Big in Four States

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Is card check dead? Not completely, but if the recent votes on various state ballot initiatives of four states is any indication it sure seems to be on its last legs. Little noticed by the Old Media, the ballot initiatives of these four states is an important bellwether of how little support Big Labor’s favorite […]

 

Another Reminder: ACORN Isn’t Dead

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The New York Post reminds us of an important fact: ACORN isn’t dead. It is merely attempting to morph into a new group with a different name in order to shed its ruined reputation. It has no intention, though, of disappearing entirely like it should. I’ve also mentioned before that this assumption that the Association […]

 

Senator Kirk Already on Track to Vote Against GOP Interests

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I said it during the primary, Mark Kirk is a 45 percenter. His record in the House pretty much shows that he will only vote with Republicans 45 percent of the time if left to his druthers. True to my worst fears, Kirk seems to be right on track with my predictions. The man hasn’t […]

 

Obama’s Disastrous Visit to India

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President Barack Obama’s now concluding trip to India seems to have turned out to be a failed or at the very least unhelpful effort. His false starts, unhelpful comments and bad policy moves mark this visit as a bit of a mess. Obama made multiple gaffes not only for India but for his own party […]

 

Al Gore’s Climate Exchange Scheme Utterly Fails… Media Ignores It All

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Al Gore’s much ballyhooed Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) has recently announced that it will no longer be engaging in carbon trading, an activity that was the sole purpose that it was created. This is an utter failure of purpose in global warming hysteria yet the Old Media is almost completely silent on this colossal failure. […]

 

Nanny State Republican Upton Wants House Energy Committee Chair?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Light bulb banning Republican Fred Upton (R, Mich) is angling to become the new GOP chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee as the House begins to look to adjusting to reflect the Republican’s tidal wave election. Upton is a perfect example of the sort of representative that the new GOP congress needs to […]

 

The Real World Impact Of One Regulation: 14 Million Plus Hours

Posted on by John Hawkins

Liberals have never met a regulation that they don’t like — well, unless it impacts trial lawyers, unions or some other special interest group that jerks them around like puppets. Whenever conservatives note that regulations kill jobs and suggest that the government tread lightly, we hear howls of outrage from the Left. Yet in the […]

 

Democrat’s Anti-Capitalist Net Neutrality Wounded, But Not Dead

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Just before election day the liberal blogs were aflutter with news that 95 Democratic Congressional candidates had taken the pledge to support Net neutrality if they were elected. That turned out to be a very big “if.” More like a forlorn hope, if you will. Of those 95 Democrats, the number actually going to Congress […]

 

Saddest Letter Ever From One of Our Military Vets!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Unemployment Worsens: What Happened to 3.5 Million Workers, Mr. President?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Tyler Durden of Zero Hedge asks an interesting question about the latest jobs data that the Obama administration has released to the public — and to a mostly unquestioning Old Media.

Face it, GOP ‘Moderates’ Are Party Traitors

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A party is a party. Sure, in politics there are internal fights, jealousies, and intrigues, but when the final push to election day is upon its members, a party supports the one carrying the party banner. They may be disgruntled because the man they supported didn’t win the primary, but they hold their tongue and […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last January, Jennifer Cline sent a letter to President Obama telling him of her woes. She had been diagnosed with two kinds of cancer, she lost her job and was about to lose her home.

Death Of The West: Creeping Shariah

RNC Launches No More Frankens Website

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

There is little doubt that Al Franken’s namesake is a perfect analogy because he is certainly a Frankenstein of a Senator. When he barely won the Senate seat for the Democrats in Minnesota over incumbent Norm Coleman several years ago it was painfully obvious that major improprieties and problems marred that election. His win was […]

 

The Faster Government Moves, The Slower America Goes

Posted on by John Hawkins

Barack Obama met with some liberal bloggers and there’s now a transcript of the conversation available.
