OWS Misfits, Drug Addicts, Rapists, and Unicorn Riders Go Home for the Holidays

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The anti-western, anti-capitalist group whose advertisement started the Occupy Wall Street movement has told its adherents to go home. The first phase of Occupy is over they said. Time to regroup, network, and try to finally come up with some sort of message besides an amorphous we-hate-whatever chant. Time to finally figure out an agenda […]

 

Union Boss Gets Free State Money for Kid’s College Tuition

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

You might recall in October when it was discovered that a few union bosses had paid off Illinois lawmakers to write a law that allowed union bosses to serve as a substitute teacher for one day in order to qualify them for state pensions for life.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston A whack nut Occupy Wall Street sympathizer in South Carolina was a bit miffed when Governor Nikki Haley “allowed” the police to begin arresting the dregs at Occupy Columbia.

Washington Post: Hey, Why Is Occupy So Darned Whitebread?

Posted on by William Teach

The Washington Post’s headline is actually Why blacks aren’t embracing Occupy Wall, but, it might as well have asked why the Occupiers are 98.4% pale faces Occupy Wall Street might seem like a movement that would resonate with black Americans. After all, unemployment among African Americans is at 15 percent, vs. almost 8 percent for […]

 

Unbelievable: Planned Parenthood Used Thanksgiving Holiday to Push Abortion!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The indefatigable Steven Ertelt reports another outrage from the infanticide fanatics at Planned Parenthood. Apparently Planned Parenthood is advocating that families use the Thanksgiving holiday (and the upcoming Christmas break) as a day to push their ideas on abortion onto friends and family. What could be more heartwarming? Friends and family, good food, and a […]

 

Did Ezra Klein Prove that Journalism Just Another Arm of the Democrat Party?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Fishbowl DC has a startling report that seriously brings into doubt the independence and veracity of the journalistic arts. It seems that the Washington Post’s Ezra Klein appeared as a speaker at a closed door session of a gathering of Senate Democrat Chiefs of Staff last week, a move that, as Betsy Rothstein correctly notes, […]

Return To Free Market Principles

Posted on by Michael Fell

If we’re to form conclusions based on the behavior of our elected officials, the United States government being over $15 trillion in debt is a minor concern. It looks like figuring out how to cut spending is simply too adult a puzzle for ”progressives” in the Senate and the White House. What else can the […]

 

There Isn’t More Political ‘Polarization,’ There’s More Government

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Ron Fournier of the National Journal has committed the same mistake in political analysis that far too many others on both sides of the aisle make. He thinks, like many do, that there is somehow more “polarization” in Washington today than ever. Like all the others, he’s wrong. There isn’t any more than there’s ever […]

Hypocrisy: Left Wants SCOTUS Justice Thomas Recusal, Ignores Kagan’s Clear Conflicts

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This past weekend the Washington Post published a hit piece on the grand opening of a museum in Georgia dedicated to the birthplace of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. The paper was desperate to make some grand conspiracy, some lawbreaking evil from the project. But whatever is going on with the museum, this story […]

 

Democrats, Sen. Schumer Shut Down Citizen’s Forum

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

You know, it is unfortunate that the Democrat Party’s name has the word “democracy” as it root because the modern Democrat Party is 100% opposed to both democracy and our system of government. Senator Chuck “Hitman” Schumer just proved this to be true once again. Last week Senator Mike Lee (R, Utah) had reserved a […]

 

California Ballot Boondoggle Sends Tax Dollars Out of State

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Despite all the talk of fixing it, California’s budget is still a mess. One of those “fixes” was implemented last summer when the state Legislature increased revenue projections by $4 billion to avoid balancing the budget. Of course, the problem with using such “phantom money” is that it often has a habit of disappearing when […]

 

Dear American, Obama Says You Owe $160,545 of the Federal Debt

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

With the U.S. debt now officially over $15 trillion, to pay it off each working American would now owe more to the federal debt than they make in a year according to a new report by the U.S. Treasury Department.

California Drowning in Budget Waste and Abuse

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

–Posted with Permission — By Matthew Cunningham Think you came up a bit short trick-or-treating this year? It’s nothing compared to California, whose revenues in October came in $800 million below projections. Overall, California is about $1.5 billion in the red for the current fiscal year, which may trigger some nasty cuts to schools and […]

 

GM Bailout: Bait And Switch And Drive That Lemon Away

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

General Motors was too big to fail. This is why President Obama had to ride in on his white steed with billions of taxpayers dollars in hand to bailout GM rechristening it Government Motors.

Black Republican’s Campaign Sign Defaced With ‘KKK,’ Media Yawns

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

William “Bill” Randall is running for Congress out of the North Carolina 13th. Randall, an African American, experienced what must be called a hate crime in the left’s vernacular.

Actor Ruffalo Wants Obama to Turn Army Corps of Engineers Political

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Mark Ruffalo — you know, the millionaire actor that claims to be part of the 99% — may not be a scientist. But he plays one on mass emailings from left-wing advocacy groups. And with that activism Ruffalo is urging President Obama to turn the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from a science-based service to […]

 

OWS: What Better Way To Get People On Your Side Than Tick Them Off?

Posted on by William Teach

Thursday’s two month anniversary of liberals squatting in squalor, avoiding showers, banging on drums, doing drugs, raping other Occupiers, exposing themselves to children, and ruining the local businesses profits, among others, was a perfect show of liberalism. For some reason, they think the best way to achieve their objectives is to use vinegar instead of […]

 

Politico Misstates Concealed Carry Law Claims it Violates State’s Laws

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently Politico does not like the new concealed-carry reciprocity law recently passed in Congress. They must not like it. After all, aside from covering it in a negative light, the newser so badly misstated the law that it could easily turn its readers against the whole idea. But perhaps that’s the idea? The law, the […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In her exclusive interview with Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D, AZ), ABCs Diane Sawyer began with a retrospective of the terrible crime committed against the Congresswoman by a mentally disturbed, a-political gunman.

Grammy Nominee’s Occupy Wall Street Theme Song Features Bloodlust, Violent Imagery

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

While denizens of Hollywood are running around praising the Occupy-Whatevers as an articulate, non-violent example of “democracy in action” and adopting the Occupy rhetoric, a new anthem of sorts has been unveiled to inspire these “non-violent” folks to greater activism. But, for a “non-violent” movement, their new theme song (running nearly nine minutes long) is […]

 

Ten Reasons I Hate Berkeley

Posted on by Rich Stowell

There are good people who live in Berkeley. I hope they both forgive me. I used to live in Oakland, but as the 2010 elections approached and it became apparent that California would lurch further to the left and toward insolvency, my family and I fled to the safety of a red state. Nevertheless, the […]
