Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

… and Why Liberals are Our Weak Spot For the online, left-wing magazine Slate, William Saletan thinks he’s found something that will damage Osama bin Ladden’s reputation in the Islamic world.

The Peace Corps at 50: What’s a Little Rape, Murder, and Brutalization of Women Between Friends?

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

That great lefty favorite, the Peace Corps, just had a 50th birthday! You can tell, because it’s demanding presents. The Lefties who totally love conscience-salving stints in third world countries rejoiced and then swiftly returned to their soy lattes and organic arugula. Senator Harry Reid issued a: breathless, sycophantic statement in which he, being Harry Reid, […]

Representatives Dennis Kucinich (D, Ohio), Barbara Lee (D, Calif.), Pete Stark (D, Calif.) and Lynn Woolsey (D, Calif.)

Another Example of How Ron Paul is Hypocritical on Supposed Fiscal Responsibility

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Ron Paul’s acolytes like to claim that “Doctor” Paul is the only candidate that is serious on fiscal matters, the only candidate that is fiscally conservative, the only one that talks the talk and walks the walk. Too bad this is all BS… and here is yet another example of this fact. T. Boone Pickens […]

 

AP Tars Tea Party Movement as ‘Grandfathered’ By Ron Paul

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In a story by Jay Root for the Associated Press, the news wire service tries to tar the entire Tea Party movement with guilt by association claiming that it was somehow fathered or “grandfathered” by Texas Representative Ron Paul, the cranky uncle of the GOP. The fact is Ron Paul had nothing at all to […]

 

Good to See University Students Acting Patriotically For A Change… But…

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Today a left-wing, anti-American student at Louisiana State University wanted to burn a flag for, he claimed, “due process for students and suspected terrorists alike.” Yeah. Whatever. As it happens, the students he was claiming to represent didn’t seem to appreciate his idea, though. Several hundred of them turned out to the place where he […]

 

Employee Levels Fall But New York’s Fringe Benefits and Pensions Costs Soar

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Old Media Ninnies Alert: German Newscast Displays Star Trek Logo as Seal Team 6 Patch

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Steve Gill* found an amusing little story. Apparently a German television news show had a report on Seal Team 6, the group responsible for taking down Osama bin Ladden, and the TV folks meant to show the military patch of the Seals on-air. But instead of showing Seal Team 6’s actual arm patch, the morons […]

 

Obama’s Plan to Force Fed. Contractors to Disclose Political Donations Meeting Bi-Partisan Opposition

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama’s Executive Order that requires federal contractors to disclose the political contributions they have made is garnering bi-partisan opposition on the Hill this month. The order would force contractors to reveal any political donations as a condition for being allowed to bid on a contract to work for the federal government. And the order […]

 

Do SEIU Members Know Their Union Consorts With America’s Enemies?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This is one thing that always flummoxes me. Over the last few decades American labor unions have increasingly become adjuncts, associates, pals, close friends — what ever you want to call them — with anti-American groups like the Communist Party USA and various socialist, anti-Israel groups, and pro-terror groups like the many pro-Palestinian groups. So, […]

 

Wash Post’s Cohen: GOP Should Compromise… Like They Did With Slavery?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Richard Cohen is what passes for an opinion editorialist in the Washington Post — not a learned one, just a bloviating one. Cohen’s latest, “The Myth of American Exceptionalism,” is at the same time as self-loathing as it is historically stupid. Not only does this nonsense Cohen ladled out upon us all serve an example […]

U.S. University Giving Award to Anti-American, Terror Supporting Al-Jazeera TV

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Columbia University announced last week that its Graduate School of Journalism is awarding its highest award to America’s enemies, Al-Jazeera TV.

Use Of FISA Warrants Jumps Under Obama

Posted on by William Teach

Anyone notice the major media screaming about the Obama administration violating the rights of Americans? The following Wired post was published on May 6th.

GM Exec: Reporting GM’s Failures Hurts… Republicans?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In an odd turn of events, former GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz thinks that anyone that criticizes GM is not only “mis-informed” but insists that those “foaming ideologues” that criticize the car giant are “damaging the Republican Party.” It is interesting that an executive in the company derided as “Government Motors” is trying to direct […]

 

Cringing Liberal Throws Wet Blanket on bin Laden Celebrations

Posted on by Dave Blount

Liberals didn’t like all the flags that spontaneously appeared after 9/11. Now that Osama bin Laden has finally gotten what he had coming, they aren’t liking the patriotic celebrations. WaPo’s Petula Dvorak sanctimoniously gripes about displays of national joy, which she denounces as “vulgar”: When I saw that folks were celebrating in the streets at […]

 

Treehugger: Do We Really Need Evil Flame Retardants In Our Furniture?

Posted on by William Teach

It’s time for a little hand wringing from enviro-weenies at Treehugger What is it with Astroturfers and kids? Whenever there is a “grass roots” campaign, like Citizens for Fire Safety, they fill their websites with kids. Does this one tell them that their bodies are bioaccumulating brominated flame retardants, that, according to the Environmental Health […]

Liberal Hypocrisy Over The Death Of Bin Laden

Posted on by John Hawkins

Over at Redstate, Melissa Clouthier points out that the liberal reaction to the death of Bin Laden proves that liberals don’t believe their own war on terror rhetoric. When the rubber meets the road, liberals aren’t crying that: * Intelligence gathered, probably via “enhanced interrogation” in a secret prison (or if you’re a liberal, torture), […]

 

Liberal Energy Policy: Make All the Lights Go Out

Posted on by Dave Blount

If you think Obama’s energy policy of suppressing our own oil industry while giving other countries taxpayer money to develop theirs is insane, just hope he doesn’t inflict some of the truly deranged ideas being floated by moonbats like Daniel Weiss, senior fellow and director of “climate strategy” at the liberal think tank Center for […]

 

Federalist Papers Identified How Democrats Would Destroy Us

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Our fourth president, James Madison, has been called the father of the Constitution for not inconsiderable reasons. Madison was highly educated, widely read, and well thought of.

Arrogance: Obama Decides HE Can Tell A Company Where They’re Allowed to Build

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama thinks he has the power to tell companies where they are “allowed” to build new facilities and, shock of shocks, Obama wants all those facilities to be in union controlled states.
