Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On Sept. 18th and 19th in Washington DC, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is having open meetings for public comment on its proposal to slash the amount of time that it takes for prospective unionization of employees to occur. If you are at all interested in preventing this wild powergrab by Obama’s union-sold NLRB, […]

 

Rep. Walsh Tells Obama to ‘Quit Lying’ About Soc. Sec.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Illinois Republican Representative Joe Walsh takes it hard to President Obama. Mr. Walsh says that Obama is lying and he wonders if the president even has any clue about how the country works. Walsh asks, “Have you no shame sir?” … It’s about time someone in Washington talks straight about this budget mess. Joe Walsh […]

 

Nanny State Wins: Light Bulb Ban Repeal Fails in House

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If the House Republicans can’t even get rid of one of the most odious examples of nanny statism in the age of Obama, what exactly are they worth? On Tuesday, Rep. Joe Barton (R, Texas) failed in his effort to repeal the incandescent light bulb ban idiotically signed into law by Nanny G.W. Bush. Barton […]

 

Illinois Government Attacks Freedom of Religion

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

First Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan tried to have published for public consumption all the names and addresses of every gun owner in her state. Apparently she meant to harass the legal gun owners in her jurisdiction. Now she has launched an effort to harass religious adoption institutions and on the thinnest of pretexts, too. […]

 

NY Times Thinks Economy Runs Thanks To Government

Posted on by William Teach

I’m not quite sure which is more delusional and clueless: Team Obama or the NY Times (anonymous) editorial board: The Worst Time To Slow The Economy It was not surprising to hear the Republican presidential candidates repeat their tiresome claim that excessive government spending and borrowing were behind Friday’s terrible unemployment report. It was depressing […]

 

Soros Funded Think Progrees Hyperventilates Over Bachmann Signing Family Leader Pledge

Posted on by William Teach

So, a bit of background The Family Leader, a prominent Iowa group that promotes Christian conservative social values, said Thursday it is asking all presidential candidates to sign a pledge regarding their personal convictions on traditional marriage. The pledge is entitled, “The Marriage Vow — A Declaration of Dependence upon Marriage and Family.” The organization’s […]

 

Newsweek: White House Intimidation of NBC ‘Reprehensible’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Old Media is still acting shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that the Obama administration treats them like a redheaded stepchild. Newsweek’s The Daily Beast, for instance, is incredulous at the “reprehensible” actions of the Obama White House for having the temerity to call NBC to scold the cabler over Mark Halperin’s “dick” comment. You’ll […]

 

Apparently, There’s Some Deep, Hidden, Scary Meaning Behind “Constitutional Conservative”

Posted on by William Teach

The New Republic freaks out over Constitutional Conservatism and Michele Bachmann Michele Bachmann really wants you to know she’s a “constitutional conservative.” The term is featured prominently on her web ads. She mentioned it three times in her announcement speech. It’s in the first sentence of her official bio. But what exactly does it mean? […]

 

Twitter Townhall: Another Case of Obama’s ‘For Thee But Not For Me’ Events

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It was hailed as a technological first. President Obama was to hold the first “Twitter Townhall.” The truth is more like it was a desperate attempt by the Obama administration to appeal to the youth vote in which nearly every poll shows him losing ground. The idea was that questions could be submitted by any […]

 

No, John Adams Did Not Pass the First Obamacare Law

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Every few weeks for months now leftist bloggers have been happily touting the “fact” that our second president, John Adams, passed the first “national healthcare law” one that supposedly forced Americans to buy a form of healthcare. Unfortunately for them, this is simply untrue and comparing John Adams’ sailor’s relief act to Obamacare is misleading […]

 

Shame On Obama’s Ambassador to the U.K.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The political hack that Obama sent to be our ambassador to the United Kingdom has shown himself to be just that, a useless, inexpert, political hack. This hack didn’t bother to attend a large dinner given to celebrate the life and work of an American president, embarrassing Americans and British alike. Last weekend, to celebrate […]

 

A New Declaration of Independence for a New Revolution

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

America is fast coming to a crossroads from which there will be no return if we take the wrong path. Do we take the road that leads away from America and toward a Euro-esque way of governing? Do we cast aside our American character and bury our great nation in a grave of socialist-styled authority? […]

 

Obama’s America: Rationing Toilet Paper

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Back in 2005 Democrat Senator Dick Durbin said that our soldiers were just like Nazis and were running the Soviet Gulags. Well, obviously Durbin and his extremist, left-wing hatred for our troops is off base, but we are seeing something in Obama’s America that is reminiscent of Soviet Russia: toilet paper rationing. Apparently, things have […]

 

Chicago: Two Anti-American Conferences Held on Independence Day

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

While patriotic Chicagoans attended parades, BBQs and otherwise celebrated our Independence Day holiday — and while Democrats stayed home and brooded — two of the most anti-American ideologies imaginable met to plot their revenge on the USA. Not only did representatives of these two ideologies meet, but they met in the same town, on the […]

 

Two on San Francisco

Posted on by Craig Newmark

“Geez Frisco, lighten up“. S.F. doesn’t realize that social legislation is like garlic. Used sparingly, it can provide a useful kick to a dish. Overused and it makes people run away every time you open your mouth. “San Francisco goldfish ban exposes the pathology of America’s bourgeois liberal nutjobs“. The goldfish ban might seem like […]

 

Patriotism when you don’t love your country

Posted on by Bookworm

As I do every year, I went with my family to our town’s Fourth of July Parade. It’s a great parade, with all sorts of community groups participating, including the various chambers of commerce; Little League baseball teams; bagpipers (Marin is home to a thriving bagpipe community); an impressive selection of WWII vehicles from from […]

 

Wisc. Firefighters Care More About Their Union Than 9/11 Memory

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If you needed yet another example of why government employees should never be allowed to join unions, this is it. In Racine, Wisconsin the local fireman’s union got into an imbroglio over a July 4th parade float honoring the fallen first responders of the Sept. 11 attacks, a parade entry that the union supported previously. […]

 

Obama’s Lincoln/Railroad Gaffe, why Did Old Media Ignore This?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In keeping with the many dozens of gaffes that Obama has made over the years, Verum Serum found another one from last February that has, with the help of the Old Media, slipped under the radar. Just more proof that Obama’s constant gaffes go unreported by the Old Media while they search high and low […]

 

John Lennon’s Second Thoughts

Posted on by David Swindle

Cross-Posted from FrontPage Magazine For more than 40 years Beatles member John Lennon towered above all others as the Left’s most powerful artistic icon. His anthem “Imagine” dreamed of a unified world that transcended the divides of nation-states and religious strife. It was an inspiration to generations of utopians. Now a new documentary reveals a […]

 

Pro-Life Group Thrown Out of Illinois July 4th Parade By Jaycees

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently, when no one was looking, the Jaycees became a pro-Infanticide group. I wonder about this because the United States Junior Chamber Jaycees has thrown the Palatine Area Catholics Respect Life Group out of the Palatine, Illinois July Fourth parade, preventing them from participating in this year’s celebration. The Jaycees claim that they have done […]

 

Don’t Film Me Bro: Getting Arrested for Filming People in Public Places

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The law has not caught up with cell phone cameras, Flip Cameras, compact video cameras, and the electronic age. Two stories being reported last weekend prove out how the ubiquity of video capture devices are often a gray area in the law. In one case a woman in Rochester, New York, pulled out her video […]

 

Obama Puts Israel on ‘State Supporters of Terror’ List, Then Opens Diplomatic Relations With Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama’s is one of the most disastrous foreign policies of any president ever. His latest outrage is the dual absurdities of, on one hand putting Israel on a list of state sponsors of terrorism, while on the other hand opening a dialog with and bestowing diplomatic legitimacy upon the terrorists of the Muslim Brotherhood in […]

 

Why Does Sen. Durbin Think Illegal Aliens Can Become President?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

*Note- I know that John hit this yesterday, but I have a personal story with Sen. Turban to relate… Once again we see a Democrat in Congress that is completely out of touch with, or unknowledgeable about, our U.S. Constitution, the law of the land. This time it’s Senator Dick Durbin that is so contemptuous […]

 

Unions Display Hatred in Union Derangement Syndrome

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

My Friend Maggie Thurber has a great piece chronicling the hate that unions in Ohio display for those voters that stand against the absurd riches that government employees have wrung out of the taxpayers in the Buckeye State. Pointing out that union supporters are “dripping with ‘hate’ and derision toward people who see a problem […]
