Let’s Get Serious About Immigration, Conservatives

Immigration is a difficult issue for conservatives these days. It is fraught with emotions and passionate feelings. Whenever someone tries to discuss the issue dispassionately, the old canard of “no true Scotsman” is employed against them. But conservatives need to continue to have this discussion and get their ducks in a row on the issue […]

 

Union Hack Becker Gets Recess Appointment

President Obama is determined to misuse his office to payoff unions and to that end he has given union goon Craig Becker a recess appointment as the head of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the agency tasked with implementing fair and responsible federal rules to govern labor and employers. The U.S. Chamber of commerce […]

 

A Little Reminder of the Left’s Unhinged Hatred

With all the tales in the Old Media of the supposed violence committed by Tea Partiers going on since Obama’s takeover of our nation’s healthcare system, I thought it might be instructive to recall how hate-filled the unhinged left is in America today. A year ago, the good folks at Zomblog assembled a great series […]

 




Government Is Not Our Friend

Small-government conservatives have always been suspicious of government. Whether city, county, state or federal all government is looked on as a troublesome but necessary evil that must be tightly controlled and oft times opposed. This anti-government attitude, of course, is a complete mystery to socialist Democrats. They just don’t understand why conservatives mistrust government and […]

 

Fox News Chicago Digging Deeper on Illinois Pension Mess

My friend Lennie Jarratt was featured on Fox News Chicago last night. The subject was the $85 billion dollar deficit that the Illinois finds its public employee pensions confronted with. Fox News reports that every Illinois citizen would have to fork over $6,600 to instantly solve the problem. And what has caused this problem? Unions. […]

 

‘New Hope’ For American Docs: Help Them Move Overseas, Won’t You?

The despair in the field of medicine over Obama’s government takeover of America’s once vibrant healthcare system can be overwhelming for America’s doctors. Many have said that if Obamacare is implemented, they’ll hang up their stethoscope and retire. The gloom is overpowering. But WAIT! Help is on the way. A new effort is underway to […]

 



Democrat Health Care Bill is Sexist and Anti-Mom

When Nancy Pelosi uttered the ridiculous comment the other day that “being a woman will no longer be considered a pre-existing medical condition”, I chalked it up to simply being the further rantings of an out of touch Stepford Feminist, always walking in lockstep with some perceived victim mentality. I thought to myself “No, Speaker, […]

 

Liberals Value Good Intentions Above Both Truth and Outcomes

Amusingly enough the Washington Post has a blog called PostPartisan. I say amusing because it is obvious that there is nothing “post” partisan about it if a rant against tea partiers by Jonathan Capehart is any indication. He thinks that Obama was speaking to the tea partiers in his latest healthcare address and so posted […]

 

Obama Supporter’s Racism Cop Out

If you want to see the ignorance of the left, below is a good video to see it in. In it a woman that supports Obamacare makes all sorts of accusations that everyone is a racist in a confrontation at a small protest outside of Illinois Representative Jan Schakowsky’s Chicago-area offices. Another portly woman whines […]

 

What Say To Eco-Sex? And, Yes, AGW Is Involved

Yes, I am an environmentalist. Yes, I believe in sustainability. Yes, I believe in conservation, renewable energy sources, saving the manatees, restricting the harvesting of marine animals such as whales, sharks, and dolphins. I like clean air, water, and land. That said, it is things like this which make me say I am an environmentalist […]

 

Obama Likes Euroweenies So Much He Even Dates Like One

On my Twitter feed, I spotted a post by Patrick Ruffini asking a pertinent question… “What’s up with Barack Obama writing out dates euro-style?” Check out this photo as hosted on the White House website… Notice that the president signed his name and then penned the date as “11 June 2009”? That is the European […]

 

Obamacare is ‘Like Christmas’ for Democrat Voters

WRAL TV of Durham, N.C. has a story today that exemplifies how Democrats win votes in a most un-American way. In the words of one North Carolina resident and Democrat voter, Democrats are “like Christmas” because with Democrats in office no one has to pay any of their bills. WRAL had a news story on […]

 

Cato Study: Unions Violate Freedom

The Cato Institute has issued its latest Tax and Budget bulletin, this one centered on public-sector unions. The essence of the report is that public employee unions violate freedom, make government more expensive and inefficient, and the incestuous relationship between unions and politicians takes away power from the voters. While labor unions do play a […]

 

This Just In, Liberals Are Murderers

-By Warner Todd Huston What is it that the extremists of the anti-war left, liberals, and Democrats say about the U.S. practice of capturing and detaining terror suspects? Don’t they say that it is wrong and evil? To that end, the left has through constant abuse of our own legal system made it practically untenable […]

 

Trials for bin Laden? Why?

There has never been a trial of a fallen national leader that would stand up to the scrutiny of good criminal law. They have always been politically motivated, full of passion, and short on legal niceties or any observation of technical precision. Because of this, should the United States capture Usamma bin Laden, she should […]

 

Obama Forcing Gov’t Costs to Rise With Union Sop

Here we are in an economic downturn and Barack Obama is forcing government costs to rise. The Detroit News has noticed it, too, with a recent editorial on Obama’s absurd “responsible contractor” rule on vendors that contract with the federal government. This new rule would force all vendors that contract with the government to exist […]

 

Stupak and Lessons Learned: Democrats Lie. Chronically

Image courtesy of cafepress.com The second lesson that should be learned is that there is no such thing as a Pro-Life Democrat. Partisanship and agendas over-ride all. Thus, it should come as no surprise that Bart Stupak sold out for an Executive Order;:  a piece of paper that holds absolutely no merit, particularly when coming […]

 



Some Interesting Healthcare Tweets

Of course, nothing could be better than the Tweet I saw from Sky_Bluez: “Stupid is as Stupak does.” That about sums up the whole day so far. But here are a few others from various folks on my Twitter feed that are worth noting… buelldawg said: “Tea Party protesters who gathered on the Capitol lawn […]

 

Lord of the Rings Updated for 2010, The Dark Lord ACORN Lives

The last book of the famous Lord of the Rings Trilogy is ripe for some updating, so here’s a proposal to that end. The Dark Lord Sauron is a perfect evil villain, of course. He’s shadowy, unseen, hard to grasp, but pervasive and the personification of oppression and evil. But his name needs to be […]

 

Democrats Don’t Care About ‘Health,’ It’s All About Politics

Robert Creamer of the HuffyPost penned a very revealing piece that proves that Democrats simply don’t care at all about anyone’s “health,” but that this whole fiasco is solely about political “wins” and power. If someone happens to get a little healthcare out of the thing, that is purely incidental to the actual purpose of […]
