Time Blames Obama AND The Media for Ground Zero Mosque Flip Flop

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Writing for Time Magazine, Michael Scherer has one of the most schizophrenic pieces of political analysis I’ve seen for quite a while. In his piece, Scherer can’t quite seem to figure out exactly whom he thinks is to blame for Obama’s failed message on the Ground Zero mosque. Is it Obama’s fault for poor messaging? […]

 

Democrats Protest Glenn Beck Rally Spot but Support Ground Zero Mosque?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The intellectual dishonesty of Democrats is simply breathtaking. To show exactly how out of whack Democrat’s ideology is, they are protesting the site and date of a Glenn Beck rally over his perceived “insensitivity” but on the other hand seem wholly unbothered by the mosque planned on being built at Ground Zero. Purported civil rights […]

 

Matt Lieglesias Has Advocated Lying Before

Posted on by John Hawkins

Liberals spend much of their time trying to hide what they believe from the public while conservatives are perpetually frustrated by the fact that the American people don’t seem to understand what we really believe. Both problems spring from a single source: liberals lie incessantly. That’s not to say that there aren’t conservative liars or […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The L.A. Times has a heartwarming story of literary giant Ray Bradbury who at 90 is not afraid to tell everyone exactly what he thinks.

Politico Ignores Dems. Culture of Corruption to Talk of GOP’s ‘Offbeat Candidates’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Interestingly, Politico is trying to rearrange this election’s narrative from the real one of widespread voter dissatisfaction with the Democrat status quo to one of “offbeat GOP candidates” that will “hurt the GOP.” Gee, why would that be, eh? As Democrats all across the land are either stepping aside so as not to face difficult […]

Video: Those (Liberal) Voices Don’t Speak For The Rest of Us

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Republican Study Committee has unveiled a great ad contrasting what Republicans believe and what Democrats believe. Juxtaposing one of Reagan’s great speeches with the words of the Democrats of today, the ad shows how Republicans venerate freedom while Democrats venerate their own power and an ability to command and control all of us. As […]

The Hill conducted its annual survey of how congressmen feel about each other and the answers are instructive. The survey found that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D. Calif.) is the most partisan, unwelcoming, hard to work with politician in all of the House of Representatives. But the list of Republicans that congressional leftists […]

 

New Court Decision: Congress Can Withhold ACORN Funding

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Looks like ACORN lost another round in court last week. New York’s 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals has reversed a lower court’s decision to re-instate Congressional funding of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) ruling that halting funding did not violate the group’s rights. Congress finally cut off federal funding to ACORN […]

The Left Lies Because You’re Too Stupid for the Truth

Posted on by Brian Garst

The Daily Caller recently reported on a twitter exchange between Matt Yglesias, blogger savant at Think Progress, and and Washington Examiner’s Mark Hemingway.:  During the discussion, Yglesias basically endorsed lying and deception as legitimate when used to advance the left-wing agenda. “Fighting dishonesty with dishonesty is sometimes the right thing for advocates to do, yes,” […]

 

The Tax Left-Wing Professors Act

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

James Lileks of the Minneapolis Star Tribune recently had a brilliant idea. Let’s tax tenured professors at a higher rate than everyone else. And how could they complain? After all, these left-wing, communist sympathizers are always saying everyone should pay more taxes. How could they complain about being called to “pay their fair share”? Lileks […]

News is just beginning to eek out that Turkey might have used chemical weapons to kill some Kurdish activists a year ago in the Kurdish area of southeastern Turkey.

BREAKING: SC Democrat Senate Candidate Indicted on Felony Obscenity Charge

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Oh-noes… the Democrats may have thought they had a “quirky” candidate running for Senate in South Carolina in the person of one Alvin Greene. But I doubt they thought they were about to have a candidate indicted on felony obscenity charges. This is, however, what they’ve ended up with regardless On August 12, a grand […]

 

Obama Has No Policy on ‘Housing’ For Detainees Convicted by Military Tribunals

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

After the heming and hawing by the Obama administration over whether we should bring terror suspects to trial before military commissions, Obama’s DOJ and DOD finally decided that they could. But once again we see the half-way actions of the Obama administration shining through by the fact that, even as Obama seems to agree with […]

 

$26.1 Billion Union Bailout Went to States that Didn’t Need it

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As I mentioned in a previous discussion on the Democrats $26.1 billion bailout for unions that Speaker Pelosi pushed through Congress at the last minute this summer, there was no need for the money for the stated purpose of “saving teachers” jobs. After all many states still had $30 billion of the previous stimulus that […]

 

Should Federal Clerks and Archivists Have Guns and Badges?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

To attest to the ever more authoritarian nature of our federal government, I give you the stormtroopers of the National Archives who, for some unfathomable reason, have guns, badges and the power to “raid homes.” The L.A. Times published a story recently detailing the poor state of security of our National Archives holdings. The piece […]

Liberal Dhimmis At Common Dreams Spin In Support Of Cordoba Project

Posted on by William Teach

One has to wonder how much of the support for building an Islamic “cultural center” two blocks from the former site of the World Trade Center by those on Left is actually true support or, instead, their kneejerk response to anything that the American Right is against. Either way, they are going out of their […]

 

Congress Now Not Even Bothering to Name the Bills They Pass

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Thanks to CATO’s Jim Harper, we discover that the slovenly work of Obama’s Congress is so bad that they are now passing bills that they haven’t even bothered to name. It’s been bad enough that the Democrats have affixed to bills names that are entirely Orwellian in nature, but now they aren’t even bothering to […]

Win The Lottery, Work for the Government

Liberals Assume Infinite Money

Posted on by John Hawkins

One of the things about liberals that always strikes me is that they seem to start with the assumption that we should always have money to spend for a good cause. So, if we need to extend unemployment benefits for a year? Well, do it! People in Africa need more money to fight AIDS? Go […]
