Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Liberals love to claim that the public school system is the shining success story of the American political system.

Obama Using Regulatory Power to Force Card Check

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Congress has failed to pass Big Labor’s long sought after card check bill, the Orwellian named Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). The reason congress has not passed this destructive law is because the voters have repeatedly spoken by urging their representatives and senators to stand against it. The voice of the American people, though, does […]

 

(Video) Proof That British Students are Morons

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last week thousands of coddled British students rioted because the British government decided that its children would have to… gasp… earn their own way through college.

Spending and Deficits

Posted on by Brian Garst

Suddenly the likes of Bernie Sanders care about the debt. Republicans, he and the angry left claim, are being hypocritical by not raising taxes.:  This is nonsense. Keeping tax rates the same is not, as he claims, adding anything to the debt. Sure, Republicans have agreed to Obama’s costly extension of unemployment insurance, but that’s […]

Obama Claims Power to Decide if Your Medicine is Too Expensive to be Allowed

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It’s very easy for Obamacare supporters to scoff at the whole idea that there are “death panels” ensconced in Obama’s health care power grab. But the fact of the matter is that they exist in a defacto form. One of those defacto death panels is the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), an agency invented under […]

New Research Shows That Conservatives Are Independent, Liberals Sheeple

Posted on by William Teach

A bit of fluff for a Friday morning It goes without saying that conservatives and liberals don’t see the world in the same way.

In a new study, UNL researchers measured both liberals’ and conservatives’ reaction to “gaze cues” […]

 

Democrats: Say, Let’s Change Rules to Push Our Agenda FASTER in Lame Duck Session

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

There is nothing more dangerous than a party that is about to lose power but still has temporary control of the reins of government. That is, of course, what we call the lame duck session of congress — more like a zombie congress; dead men walking… or sitting as the case may be. It has […]
