Are You a Conservative? Welcome to the Majority!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

There has been a lot of lament by the far left in America that the Tea Party has somehow driven the Republican Party to conservative extremes. This, however, is untrue. The truth is, the American public has been trending toward conservative views for more than a decade before the Tea Party even came about. According […]

 

Obama Chic: Now Selling Campaign Gear for the One Percent

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama? Why, he’s the middle class warrior, isn’t he? He’s the veritable man of the people, darn it. He has beer summits and he chows down on burgers and fries just like us reg’lar folks. Gone are the arugula days, the million-dollar vacations and secret Hollywood star-studded Halloween parties…. one out of three ain’t bad, […]

 

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

Posted on 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 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 […]

The arguments over the actions by police have raged since the December 23 conflagration with Chief Krokoff getting savaged repeatedly by the media and some […]

 

The NDAA Power Grab

Posted on by Michael Fell

Much is being made about the most recent power grab by the White House. Specifically, Wednesday’s bypassing of the Senate to install three members to the National Labor Relations Board and the appointment of Richard Cordray as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. In order to justify and defend these actions, “progressives” argue that […]

 

Think Progress Recommends Sticking Climate Realists In A Soviet Gulag

Posted on by William Teach

Funny how Progressives always seem to resort to a default position of shutting down political opposition, instead of debating them with ideas, facts, and, oh, showing that they themselves live the lives they say everyone else should live. Witness this by “Guest Blogger” Mike Casey at (Think Progress Green) Currently, fossil fuel industry lobbyists, flacks, […]

 

The Essential Lies Underneath Occupy Wall Street

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston The folks at Fox News made a fantastic video that helps elucidate the lies floated about how wonderful, how pro-America, and how peaceable the Occupy Wall Street “movement” has been. It is important to watch this video for the truth. The whole nonsense that OWS is a “peaceful movement” is the […]

 

Israel Killed Fewer Civilians in Military Operations Than Others, Including the US

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The last decade or so we’ve assigned a euphemism to the deaths of civilians in military operations; we’ve called it “collateral damage.” The fact is, though, that deaths of bystanders — purportedly innocent — are almost unavoidable in war operations. After all, war usually entails the indiscriminate firing of automatic weapons or the dropping of […]

 

Wash. Post Plays Hate-The-Rich-Republicans With Graphic Chart

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston On Wednesday morning the Washington Post’s Aaron Blake posted an infographic that was a perfect example of how one can use a graphic chart to influence the public in subtle ways, ways that we of the center right better start employing in our own efforts if we want to win over […]

 

The Elephant Stick

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

Posted on 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 […]

 

Politico’s Top 10 Political Blunders: Mostly GOP Blunders?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Top ten lists at year’s end are always subjective, to be sure. But some lists seem rather obviously out of whack at first glance. Politico’s “Top 10 political blunders of 2011” is one of those lists that is glaring for what isn’t present as opposed to what is. And what isn’t seems to bespeak that […]

 

The Kwanzaa Con: Created by a Rapist and Torturer

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Each year, with the onset of Christmas, we are treated to another gauzy, fluff piece about how great Kwanzaa is by yet another PC spewing columnist. This year, among many others, we find aggrandizement such as that in The Record from New Jersey with, “Kwanzaa sheds light on pride, heritage; Celebration of African-American culture spreads,” […]

 

Media Forgets to Mention S. C. Immigration Law-Blocking Judge is Obama Appointee

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of the Old Media’s favorite ways of attempting to hide the ideological track of a story is to somehow forget to mention to which party someone in the news hails or owes fealty to. In this case it is what they don’t report that misleads. This week we find a classic what-they-don’t-say story concerning […]

 

Senator Dick Durbin: Pants on Fire

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Illinois Senior Senator, Democrat Dickie Durbin wants you to know that the fact that the Democrats have not passed a full, working budget in over 900 days is all because of those wascally Republicans. Never mind that the Democrats have had the majority for over three years in the Senate, never mind that before the […]

 

Obama Targeting Police Nationwide to Divert from Fast and Furious

Posted on 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. In the current era of heightened sensitivity to racism and police brutality, it makes no sense that abuses by law enforcement are increasing. The U.S. Department of Justice’s sudden […]

Denial: VP Biden Says Taliban NOT Our Enemy, Obama Official Refuses to Say al Qaeda are ‘Radical Islamists’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President Obama and his various quislings and underlings still cannot bring themselves to say that the USA is under attack by radical Islamists. This is the self-destructive garbage that comes from the Obama administration every day. This is the kind of stuff that makes of us the “weak horse” that Islamists use to justify their […]

 

Nut Wants Obama Assassinated, Left-Wingers Falsely Say He’s a Tea Partier

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On Monday morning a story whipped through the liberal blogosphere (and unfortunately one generally conservative news source) that had the left gleefully attacking the Tea Party Movement. They were thrilled, you see, to find a Tea Partier advocating for the assassination of President Obama and his entire family. Only they didn’t. Find such a Tea […]

Salon’s Joan Walsh: Reagan Dems Voted GOP in 1980 Because They Were Raaaaacists

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Did you know that the only reason those famed “Reagan Democrats” voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984 was because they were… uh… racists? Well on the little watched Ed Show on MSNBC, Salon’s Joan Walsh assured the nation — or at least the 20 people watching — that this was the truth. Sometimes […]

 

New York Rabbi: A Tim Tebow Win Will Cause Christians to Burn Mosques, Bash Gays

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

**UPDATED** Hammerman removes paragraph from story In the category of bigotry and hatred spares no religion, we find such hatred hiding behind religion in one “Rabbi” Joshua Hammerman of New York City. Hammerman has indulged his inner Father-Coughlin-in-reverse by proclaiming that if Tim Tebow wins the Super Bowl, why, Christians will go on a rampage […]
