The Hyperbole Surrounding AZ’s New Law; Talk About Epistemic Closure!

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Image courtesy of newsreal I figured that I may as well jump on the new buzz word band wagon and use the term epistemic closure. Even though I’m totally not into the term. It sounds icky and like something contagious. Nevertheless, epistemic closure is pretty much what all of the hysterical, over the top shrieking […]

 

Open Borders Moonbats Boycott Arizona Ice Tea

Posted on by Dave Blount

It’s not easy to parody the folks who brought us Barack Hussein Obama. Moonbats are so enraged at Arizona for attempting to enforce federal immigration laws before the entire state turns into New Juarez that they are boycotting Arizona Ice Tea. The problem: Arizona Iced Tea is actually brewed in New York. Online, misguided tea […]

 

Tea Party: Instantly Attacked by Old Media, Coffee Party: Immediate Respect from Old Media

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Nothing says “media bias” like coffee in the morning. If anyone ever wanted to see an example of the bias of the Old Media no better example can be found than the different ways that it has treated the tea party movement and the coffee party astroturf effort. The tea party movement was initially ignored, […]

 

Media Spinning Against New AZ Law for All It’s Worth

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The media has been trying its hardest to spin this Arizona immigration law to its agenda for all its worth. It’s such a swarm of media agenda journalism that even liberal reporters that write about the travel industry are trying to demonize Arizona over it all. We can see this in the facile reporting by […]

 

Robocop Director: Robocop Was an ‘American Jesus’ Because he Kills People

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Andrew Breitbart appeared at an awards ceremony in Chicago on Friday the 16th and one of his remarks was that Hollywood is “40 years into the left injecting bad into America.” To counter the bad, Breitbart urged us all to remind each other what is good in our great nation. As an illustration of Breitbart’s […]

 

Behavioral Science, Behavioral Economics, Social Science, Psychology… How are these ‘Science’? Why Is Obama Using them to Ruin This Nation?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

OK, let me get this straight. The bulk of the “research” that the so-called sciences mentioned in the headline above are done in university labs. There they conduct these “experiments” mostly, not exclusively, but mostly, on grad students and other students willing to go to the lab and take surveys, answer questions, and participate in […]

 

I Want To Fire All Government Workers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We conservatives are fond of wanting to oust everyone in office and for wanting to “vote the scoundrels out.” But, I’d like to add one more level to the throw-them-out-of-government arena. Let’s fire every government worker from the smallest village receptionist or sewer worker to the staffers of the highest Senator and every menial clerk […]

 

New Arizona Law Forces Hard Choices For Illegal Aliens. Bummer

Posted on by William Teach

Yeah, I know, I haven’t done much on globull warming as of late, but, hey, illegal immigration is one of my core political sub-issues below Conservatism. And I do love fixing headlines, especially ones that yammer on about “migrants,” then write this With Arizona’s crackdown on illegal immigrants looming, Guatemalan Samuel Roldan is swapping the […]

 

Andy Stern: Union Chief Fleeing Ahead of Illinois Indictment?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Until recently, Andy Stern was the President of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), a union that has served as one of President Obama’s biggest donors as well as filling the ranks of his ground troops. In a surprise move, Stern resigned his post this month and no one is really sure why at this […]

 

Does Obama Want to Destroy America? Yes, But…

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Rush Limbaugh and a few other radio hosts have made it a center piece of the attack against President Obama, the Tea Partiers have often put such sentiment on their protest signs, and the conservative chattering classes have been abuzz with the question: does Barack Obama want to destroy the United States? The only real […]

 

Prime Time Slime: Larry King Says Sarah Palin Should Pose for Playboy

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I know. I had forgotten that show was still on the air, too. Well, I suppose even Michael Moore needs a show to appear on where he is actually slightly more attractive than the host. Anyway, Larry “I literally am older than dirt” King is at it again. Not content with just exposing his serial […]

 

Mickey Kaus, Union Fighter?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For the Washington Post’s Post Partisan Blog Charles Lane’s somewhat irreverent, perhaps even dismissive treatment of the admittedly quixotic Senate campaign of journalist Mickey Kaus painted the would-be candidate as a union fighter. Interestingly, he isn’t far off the mark, which is odd for the fact that Kaus is a pretty straight down the line […]

 

Republican Governors Association Video: Remember November

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I was going to submit this without comment, because the video speaks for itself. However, it appears that the video is even more effective than I first thought. Allahpundit at Hot Air notes that Time Magazine (I know. I was surprised to learn that it’s still in:  publication, too) is already frothing at the mouth […]

 

AFSCME Official’s Threats

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees chief Henry Bayer addressed a rally of Illinois unions members on April 21. During his harangue this man revealed the exact sort of logical disconnect in which union thugs everywhere wallow. Bayer noted that 10% of the workforce in Illinois is out of work. OK, then what […]

 

Women Can Have It All? Only If You Abort, Claim Pro-Abortion Feminists

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Last week, an ad campaign aimed at helping women learn about post-abortion syndrome exposed the fact that modern day Feminists rejoice at abortion for convenience and that they are anything but “pro-women.” I wrote about it here and those same feminists, and others, were none too pleased with me. While they blatantly ignored my point […]

 

Moonbat Brainwashers Need to Get Them Even Younger

Posted on by Dave Blount

According to moonbat ideology, gender is just a social construct, and it’s perfectly normal for boys to turn out like Adam Lambert. But in the alternate dimension known among non-liberals as “reality“… Baby girls make a beeline for dolls as soon as they can crawl — and boys will head for the toy cars, a […]

 

Union Thugs at Capitol Demand Illinois Gov’t ‘Raise Our Taxes’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In the late morning hours of April 21 dozens of rented buses streamed into Springfield, the Illinois capitol, and began spewing out hundreds of tax-gorged union thugs. It was as if the Illinois Hog Producers association had pulled up to the capitol and thrown wide the doors to their livestock carriers. Some estimates say the […]

 

Policing for Profit – The Abuse of Civil Asset Forfeiture

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A group called the Institute for Justice (http://www.ij.org/) is doing yeoman’s work alerting everyone to the simply un-American powers that police agencies across the country have been afforded by an out-of-control government. Police agencies have been given ever increasing stormtrooper-like powers to steal your property and assets because they merely suspect you might have gotten […]

 

AP Pushes Muslims Into Story Where They Don’t Belong

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The AP recently posted one of its many daily short news stories, reports usually of only three or four paragraphs in length, this one about the possible Nazi connotations of a vanity license plate issued by the Virginia Dept. of Motor Vehicles. But at the last second, this report suddenly became a propaganda tool for […]

 

100 Places To Visit Before Climate Change Doesn’t Destroy Them

Posted on by William Teach

Oh, wait, sorry, I let my natural skepticism and denial get in the way of a good climate alarmist screed, as Newsweek’s Fareed Zakaria completely loses his mind (or is he just trying to be overly controversial so that someone actually reads their magazine?): 100 Places To Remember Before They Disappear (Had to use a […]

 

Geico Dude Talks To A Blog Reader; Also, Geico Dude Gets Himself Fired

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Wrote about this before. I guess the super-incisive voice of Geico has become a product liability. From Dave Weigel: Today, Douglas reports he’s been dropped from Geico’s campaign. His dramatic news release is here; he claims to have been motivated by “the recent gay and racial slurs slung by Tea Party members at Congressman Barney […]

 

Unsafe Sharia Healthcare Coming Your Way, America

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Recently the British health services ruled that Muslim nurses and doctors didn’t have to wash their hands before handling patients. Why did they reverse a hundred years of sanitary medical practices? Why, because the Brits didn’t want to upset their Muslim citizens who think that washing themselves is some sort of crime against their religion. […]

 

How Unions Are Destroying California

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Steve Malanga of City journal has a great piece detailing how California’s public employee unions are destroying that once great state. Malanga starts by repeating the ominous warning to the politicos at the state capitol in Sacramento made by a Service Employees International Union chief. “We helped to get you into office and we got […]

 

Those Delusional ‘Coffee Party’ Lefties

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The self-delusional world in which liberals wallow truly is amazing. It takes an Olympic gymnast’s level of agility to warp your logic enough to think like one of them and a recent report on the left-wing blather site Newsvine is yet one more example of the backbreaking contortions that liberals must indulge to make themselves […]

 

Why Can’t Old Media Get History Right Part 2: Boston Herald Muffs Rev War

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last week I posted a deconstruction of the muffed WWII history as penned by NPR commentator Cokie Roberts. Today I have another example of muddled history in the Old Media. This one is misconstrued Revolutionary War history as published by the Boston Herald. Hard to believe that the Boston Herald, a paper that sits in […]
