Death Of The West: Creeping Shariah

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The worst aspect of the Muslim invasion of the west is the alarming way that Islam is undermining Western culture using the west’s own liberal, democratic processes to do so. Muslims are using our own best philosophy against us and it is working to destroy our own culture, laws, and traditions, not just in the […]

 

Jimmy Carter: Liar Extraordinaire

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Every once in a while one must risk breaching decorum and call a spade a spade. In this case sentient people cannot avoid affirming the stark truth that former President Jimmy Carter is one of the world’s greatest liars. This melodious storyteller’s latest misconstruction of the truth comes from the Deseret News of Salt Lake […]

 

Two Examples Showing Liberals Don’t Know ANYTHING About U.S. History

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This week we have two prominent examples proving that liberals are ignoramuses about the Constitution and U.S. history. One incident wholly misunderstood by the left was uttered by the redoubtable Sarah Palin and the other by Christine O’Donnell. First up Sarah. In Nevada Sarah Palin kicked off a new tour to spur conservatives and Republicans […]

 

Video: What We Tea Party Conservatives Believe

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Bill Whittle has a great, great video here helping to explain our conservative views in an intelligent, even soft-spoken, style. This is part one of two, the second to come soon. Progressive ideas have always failed and our ideas are successful every time they are tried. Bill Whittle is the host of PJTVs Afterburner.

 

They Don’t Know Their History at All–This is Elitism Straight Up

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

To understand the frustration of legacy media journalists such as New York Timeso racialist Kate Zernike over the strength of the Tea Parties and the resurgence of Friedrich Hayek and other past voices from the right, let’s paraphrase Janene Garofalo’s infamous rant last year on MSNBC. It’s not about bashing Republicans, it’s not about taxes, they have no idea what the Boston tea party was about, they don’t know their history at all. This is about hating conservatives in America. This is elitism straight up

 

When a Journalist Hasn’t a Clue About the Constitution

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Constitution of the United States of America. Journalist Mary Dejevsky wrote about it, but she sure hasn’t the first clue about what it does, what it means, or why American politics seem to have gone awry. She did get some things correct in her article in Britain’s Independent newspaper but over all she proved […]

Israel’s Haaretz news agency recently reported that on Sept. 19 former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that President George W. Bush promised to take in 100,000 Palestinian refugees, giving them automatic American citizenship in exchange for a mid east peace deal.

Report: 9/12 Rally At D.C.’s Capitol Hill

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

(I am finally back home where I can get to my photo editing software, so this report is a few hours late, but…) Over 50,000 patriotic Americans attended the 2010 edition of Freedom Works’s 9/12 March on the Capitol. Americans from all over the country attended and I below have a few particularly interesting stories […]

 

Called on the Carpet: Obama’s New WH Rug Muffs History

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

He grew up in Indonesia, his father was a Kenyan, and he’s been fighting the perception that he isn’t much of an American since he became a nationally known entity. Unfortunately for President Obama, his redecoration of the Oval Office is not helping by making him seem just as ignorant about America as his critics […]

 

Suspended for Teaching About Holocaust

Posted on by Dave Blount

It won’t be long before the Holocaust never happened. In France, teaching students about it can already get you suspended: A history teacher has been suspended in France for spending too much time teaching students about the Holocaust. Catherine Pederzoli, 58, a secondary school teacher who is Jewish, was accused of teaching the subject with […]

 

Obama and FDR on Proposed American Dollar Re-Design?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A little contest called the Dollar ReDes$ign Project has been launched on the web and I have to say the dismal design offerings being foisted on the public are a wonder to behold. But the worst ones are by Dowling Duncan. The designs offered by Dowling Duncan envision a one dollar bill featuring a giant […]

 

Liberal Dhimmis At Common Dreams Spin In Support Of Cordoba Project

Posted on by William Teach

One has to wonder how much of the support for building an Islamic “cultural center” two blocks from the former site of the World Trade Center by those on Left is actually true support or, instead, their kneejerk response to anything that the American Right is against. Either way, they are going out of their […]

 

Is The Tea Party Like A Starfish, Like the Apache… Like al Qaeda?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Politico’s Kenneth Vogel has an interesting piece on a book that Tea Party activists are starting to glom onto as an administrative guidebook of sorts. The book, “The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations,” is a book that explains how leaderless organizations work and can be effective. Of late tea partiers […]

 

Socialism: ‘Let’s Share Things’

Posted on by Robert Stacy McCain

“Socialism basically said, hey, let’s have a kinder, gentler society. Let’s share things.” — Howard Zinn, Madison, Wisconsin, 2009 While we’re sharing things, how about we share the fact that Howard Zinn was a member of the Communist Party USA during the worst years of Stalinist repression? On July 30, 2010, the FBI released one […]

 

A Tale of Two Anti-Semitic Rants: Oliver Stone’s Not So Bad, Mel Gibson’s Horrible

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Some of you may recall that early in the morning of July 28 of 2006 actor Mel Gibson was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving in Los Angeles, California.

Top Ten most Left-Biased American Journalists – #1: Helen Thomas, UPI/Independent

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We have finally reached the number one, most left-biased journalist in America today on our top ten count down and our most biased journo pick probably won’t surprise any of you.

Obama’s FDR-Like Bait and Switch

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remember when Barack Hussein Obama first became president and the left-wing Old Media universally indulged the claim that he was “just like FDR“? Of late the Old Media has backed off that hyperbolic statement, but at least in a single incident, Obama has proven indeed to be just like FDR. The similarity entails laws about […]

 

Hollywood Indulging ‘Left Wing Fantasy’ in Upcoming Iron Lady Film? Thatcher Family Appalled

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Originally posted at NewsReal Hollywood, the place where so many have been paid so much for so little worth. Their lack of rational thought and honesty astounds even me sometimes, and I have very low expectations. Their latest delusional propaganda, in the form of an upcoming film about Margaret Thatcher entitled The Iron Lady, comes […]

 

Through a Gimlet Eye: Studying the Washington Post Kremlinologist-Style

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

Let’s employ a little Cold War-style Kremlinology to try and ascertain the health of the Washington Post. Or even a little Nixonology — a modern-day equivalent of Woodward and Bernstein (or at least how they were presented to the public in the form of Redford and Hoffman) would have lots of fun tying together all of the strange stories that have circulated recently from the former home of Ben Bradlee and Katharine Graham:

 

The Danger of Islam Taking Over the World

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In India two Muslim savages cut off their college professor’s hand because they felt one of the questions on an exam he issued was “insulting to Islam.” So-called “honor killings” where Muslims kill their own wives, daughters, and sisters over perceived immodesties or violations of sharia “laws” are on the rise throughout the western world.

New Silicon Graffiti Video: ‘The Cold Civil War’

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

In 2007, author William Gibson wrote the phrase the “Cold Civil War” for one of his science fiction novels. That led blogger April Gavaza, also known as the “Hyacinth Girl,” as well as Mark Steyn to pick up on the concept a year later. But of course, as General McChrystal’s disastrous interview with Rolling Stone and his subsequent dismissal illustrates, the media isn’t just where wars are fought domestically, as we discuss in the latest edition of our Silicon Graffiti video blog

Despite Misconception, We Conservatives DO Want Some Government

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Leftists love to purposefully misconstrue what sort of government conservatives want. Certainly whenever some new big government boondoggle erupts in the typical corruption and waste that is government, conservatives rail against the misappropriation of powers that such boondoggles invariably mean. But when government isn’t doing something they want it to do and conservatives kvetch with […]
