As Japan Abandons Emissions Caps, Obama Rushes Headlong Toward It

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Even as the Japanese have abandoned its national emissions trading scheme because they’ve realized how many jobs would be lost as a result of the draconian regulations involved, President Obama continues to claim that he wants to impose similar jobs-killing regulations on America. Japan initially announced that its national carbon trading scheme was to have […]

 

Video: Constitution Hard for Lefties Because It’s So Darn Old

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Well, it’s no wonder that leftists in America — you know, those folks that pretend to be Americans — have such a problem understanding the Constitution. It’s hard for them, you see, because… well… it’s old. This stark revelation was disgorged from the mouth of famed lefty blogger, and TV Wunderkind Ezra Klein of the […]

 

Obamacare: When Obama LIKES Imposing Higher Costs on ‘The Poor’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

My friend George Scoville, who works for the CATO Institute, asked a question that really does go to show the left’s hypocrisy. This time the question reveals a “feature” of Obamacare that tends to expose hypocrisy so large that an ambulance could drive through it. (See how I said “ambulance” there to keep with the […]

 

2010: The Entertainment Industry’s PC Year in Review

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For the entertainment industry’s practitioners of political correctness, 2010 was another banner year. Even as conservatives have made deserved headway in La La Land and other areas of the industry, there still aren’t enough conservatives to bring much needed patriotism, logic, and common sense to the scene. Sadly, the industry is still filled with those […]

 

Wa Post Editorialist Admires Members of Taliban’s Armies, Are Just as Good as U.S. Soldiers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Does anyone on the left understand right and wrong? Do any of them understand that some things humans do are morally reprehensible or is everything relative? If we could find one that understands it, it certainly won’t be Colman McCarthy. We can say this because this week the former Washington Post columnist and current director […]

 

Stagehands Extort Hundreds of Thousands From Theater Goers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If there never was a story that explains how unions are really little else but a criminal extortion racket, the story by James Ahearn in the New Jersey Began Record helps explain it for us. Ahearn’s piece headlined “For Backstage Labor, Rich Rewards,” informs us that some stagehands in New York theater make upwards to […]

 

90-Year-Old Post Office Workers Still Getting Workers Comp?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Years after most Americans retire, in fact years after the federal retirement age of 68, more than 100 U.S. Postal Workers in their 90s are still getting 75 percent of their salaries (tax free, yet) of federal workers compensation payments instead of having been graduated to the cheaper retirement payments at 60 percent of their […]

 

An Interesting 10th Amendment Case That Doesn’t Seem Like One

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Sometimes standing up for the Constitution seems a bit annoying, especially in the case of violent felon Mrs. Carol Bond. Fortunately, standing for the Constitution here doesn’t necessarily release a horrible woman into freedom, but it does help to spotlight some unconstitutional federal overreach. In this case, it also centers on the Tenth Amendment, or […]

 

Bloomberg Has Worked Behind the Scenes With Islamists to Get Ground Zero Mosque Built

Posted on by Dave Blount

The “Muslim–moonbat alliance” is more than a figure of speech. Progressives have been sympathetic to expansionist Islam since 9/11, possibly hoping it might succeed where Soviet communism failed. Sometimes this goes beyond sympathy, to the point where the liberal elitists who govern us actually coordinate campaigns with jihadists. An appalling example is 9/11 itself, an […]

 

Child Molesting Teacher Can’t Be Fired Thanks to Union

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In 1997 a Brooklyn teacher was accused of attempting to molest a sixth-grade girl at PS 138. As it happened, he admitted the behavior, but no criminal charges were filed when all was said and done. Still one would think the fact that he inappropriately fondled a teen should be enough to get him fired […]

 

Beware When They Say a Government Program Will ‘Make Money’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The New York Times had a small story that it likely thought was just an amusing little tale of a quirky government program from Los Angeles. Centered on the gift shop run by the L.A County Coroner’s Department, the Times indulged such lines as “we’re dying for your business,” and headlined the piece “Dealing in […]

 

President Gets Around Annoying Voters, Instills Death Panels By Regulation

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Some of you may have missed this story since it was published on the day after Christmas (and a Sunday at that), but Obama’s death panels are back, this time via the president’s fiat regulatory powers. Since it was easy to have missed, I’ve decided to post the story today (Monday) so that more people […]

 

Why Won’t MSNBCs Ed Schultz Interview Republicans? Cuz he is ‘Sick of ‘Em,’ of Course

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

t’s funny how lefties always consider themselves the more “logical,” the more civilized,” and more “adult” side of the argument. Why, they just want to have an adult debate to explain how correct their ideas are, right? Well, they might unless they work for MSNBC, apparently. Especially if they’re Ed Schultz. Ed Schultz, you see, […]

 

Obama’s Mouthpiece? ABC’s Cokie Roberts Says Voters Will Make Republicans Compromise in 2011??

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

ABC News talking head Cokie Roberts was shilling for the Obama administration once again on Good Morning America during an interview with former Clinton operative George Stephanopoulos. She wasn’t just shilling for Obama but tying to mold the news and public opinion to her left-wing druthers instead of giving an honest review of today’s political […]

 

Obama’s Labor Dept. to Force Employers to tell Employees They Have a Right to Unionize

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama’s intrusive National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the government regulatory agency responsible for making rules to govern the relationship between employer and employee, has decided that as an employee you are stupid. Worse, the NLRB also decided that it has the power to force your employer to waste its resources holding your hand as an […]

 

Merry Christmas from Jerry Brown! More “Green” and Tech Jobs Leave California

Posted on by Jane Jamison

Obviously “encouraged” by all of the incoming governor’s dire warnings about tax increases and budget cuts, more “green jobs” are running for:  the border. Here ‘s the headline in the San Jose Mercury News. “Nordic Windpower leaving California”:  (OH, the irony, it’s a company based in Berserkley, the “mecca” for the enviro-mental faithful.) Nordic Windpower, […]

 

Batman’s Politically Correct European Vacation

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Reality isn’t always very fun, granted. Because of that many people turn to comic books for a little escapism. But there’s escapism and PC indoctrination. Sadly, it appears that DC Comic’s Batman is angling for the latter and not the former. You see, Batman has decided to hire a Muslim to “save France.” First the […]

 

Holiday Reminder: Kwanzaa Was Created by a Rapist and Torturer

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Every year I post a pre-Christmas piece on the farce that is Kwanzaa. This year will be no exception. Note, some of the newspaper articles I quote are several years old so some may no longer be online. Each year, with the onset of Christmas, we are treated to another gauzy, fluff piece about how […]

 

Indiana County Throwing Man off His Own Property For Living in Camper

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A county government in Indiana has decided that a man that is bothering no one, a man living a very simple lifestyle, a man living on his own property must be evicted from it. Why have these jackbooted government thugs decided that this must be done? Because the man has the gall to live so […]

 

How’s That Liberal Education System Working? 23% Of High School Students Fail Military Exam

Posted on by William Teach

You know how the Left always talks about the members of the military being idiots (except when Democrats need to win an election)? Well, then, what would this say about the liberal education system? Nearly one-fourth of the students who try to join the military fail its entrance exam, painting a grim picture of an […]

 

Strong Coalition Urges House Republicans to Create Anti-Appropriations Committee

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President of Americans for Tax Reform (ATR.org), Grover Norquist, wrote about having an “anti-appropriations committee back in June n the American Spectator. Norquist talked of Democrats, Republicans and “the appropriators” in congress and proposed an idea to take the starch out of the appropriator’s assumed sense of entitlement to spend our money with abandon. Hearkening […]

 

With Census Out And Democrat States Losing Badly, Obviously, Moonbats Want “Change”

Posted on by William Teach

By now, you all know about the outcome of the Census, that marvelous job creator of the Stimulus bill…..what, it’s required by the Constitution?……well, anyhow, Dave Weigel has a nice little breakdown of which states lose House seats and which ones gain them. Northern Democrat stronghold seats are the biggest hit, and, let’s not forget […]

 

Obama’s Attny Gen. Says Americans More Dangerous Than Al Qaeda

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Eric Holder told ABC News that he has “sleepless nights” over his worry about domestic terrorists. He thinks that Americans, natural born are far more dangerous than foreign terrorists. At some level he has a point, but the way he phrased the whole issue once again proves that neither he, nor his president by extension, […]

 

Obama Tells Labor, I’m On Your Side

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston They gave him hundreds of millions of dollars for his campaign for president and for that Barack Obama has given Big Labor many, many payoffs, sweetheart deals, and regulatory favors. And this week he met in the White House with members of Big Labor and told them that he was sill […]

 

FCC To Vote On Net Neutrality Today, Create Problem Where None Existed

Posted on by William Teach

Liberals blame Bush era policies for the economic mess we’re in right now, as well as a raft of other problems. Conservatives (rightly) blame the economic mess on Democrat policies, and highlight the problems caused by other legislation, such as ObamaCare and the Porkulus. Altogether, though, notice that government tends to create more problems while […]

 

Republicans Block DREAM Act, Another Old Media Lie

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Old Media is up to its old tricks again, this time making the GOP the fall guy for the failure of the latest immigration bill. Nearly every news outlet is reporting that the Republicans have blocked the DREAM Act, many of these reports even say so right in the headline. The truth, however, is […]

 

SHOCKING: Soros Funded University Poll Says Fox News Viewers Most ‘Misinformed’ Politically

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A poll conducted by WorldPublicOpinion.org, a “project” run out of the University of Maryland, was the toast of the left-wingers last week for its finding that Fox News viewers were the most “misinformed” during the 2010 election cycle. Sadly, few of the news pieces on this poll mentioned that WorldPublicOpinion.org is funded in part by […]
