Arianna Huffington & The Plight Of The Poor

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Why is Arianna Huffington lecturing us on the plight of the poor? Here is what she says: Ever since Roseanne went off the air, network TV has not been the most welcoming place when it comes to telling the stories of working class Americans. But now, week in and week out, millions can see what […]

 

150 Convicted County Officials in Obama’s Chicagoland Area

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Better Government Association (http://www.bettergov.org/), a beleaguered Chicago-based watchdog group that has its work cut out for it, recently released its “Hall of Shame” report that details the nearly 150 county officials that have gone to jail for corruption in Barack Obama’s home county of Cook. And that doesn’t even include the over 100 Chicago […]

 

Dear America, Admit That You’re Stupid! Love, Nancy

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The founding fathers debated bills for weeks. They then wrote them, referred them to committee’s of style and prose, brought them back to the floor, debated them again, wrote newspaper articles about them, went home to their districts to discuss them, and finally passed them — or not — after much deliberation. Today’s Speaker of […]

 

What is a ‘Religious Extremist’? This Lefty Weekly Sure Doesn’t Know

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston For the Independent Weekly of Durham, North Carolina, writer Sam Wardle proves that he hasn’t a clue how the phrase “religious extremist” is properly defined. But, I’d suggest that his confusion is endemic in the far left and proves to show why so many in the west don’t understand how to […]

 

‘Restoring’ Unions ‘Right’ to Bargain Collectively

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Not long ago union advocate Stewart Acuff penned a piece for the Huffington website that was filled with soaring rhetoric about unions “creating the middle class” and pleading for voters to pressure Congress to pass the absurdly named Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). He claimed that this piece of… legislation would “restore the right to […]

 

Government Health Care Is Not About Health Care; It’s About Government

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

“Government Health Care is not about health care; It’s about Government.” So reads the last line of Mark Steyn’s latest brilliant article, which I strongly suggest that everyone read. He’s right, of course, but I’d go even a step further. It’s not just about government, it’s about a mindset and a freedom-squashed way of life. […]

 

Terrorists at Fla. Atlantic U Are O.K., Young Americans for Freedom VERBOTEN

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We send our young adults to university to be educated in the ways of the world, we all know. Following that well-worn path, young James Schackleford decided on the publicly funded Florida Atlantic University for his edification and boy did he learn a lesson about modern education last week. Mr. Schackleford learned that the FAU […]

 

The Coming Union Pension Plan Collapse

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

At the blog YidWithLid.blogspot.com Sammy Benoit has posted an interesting piece about the mess befalling so many failing union pension funds across the nation. The post includes a very useful chart that shows the trouble in which some of the largest union pension funds find themselves. The upshot is that these pensions are on the […]

 

Associated Press Tries to Tie Jim DeMint to the Pentagon Shooter

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

No, really. Not only are members of the media trying to irresponsibly and erroneously tie Joseph Patrick Bedell, a registered Democrat, a Troofer and a total loon, to the “right-wing” in general, but they are now upping the defamation by attempting to libelously imply that the words of Jim DeMint “fed the rage.” Jim. DeMint. […]

 

Whatever Would I Do Without Liberal Feminist Men to Save Me?

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Apparently, that whole lame idea that Conservative women suffer from “Stockholm Syndrome” isn’t limited to the bitterly nonsensical Janeane Garofalo. Liberal men are hopping on that bandwagon now as well! Assuming that women are too dumb and hood-winked to comprehend things on their own isn’t offensive and sexist in the slightest now, is it? Not […]

 

Dear Harry Reid: Is Your Ivory Tower Padded?

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

If Harry Reid’s Ivory Tower isn’t padded, it should be, because he is cuckoo pants. I submit as exhibit A: Only 36,000 jobs lost, which is UP from last month. What a super awesome day! Who wants evil private sector jobs anyway, right Harry? The rhetoric of the Democrat’s has moved from incomprehensible to absolutely […]

 

And Not Once Did the New York Times Mention the Word Islam!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Nicholas Kristof rightly celebrates a new book highlighting the evils of the forced marriages of pre-teen girls to older men. Kristof is also right to reveal the sordid truths about the practice of marrying off pre-teen girls and the abuse they invariably seem to suffer in the arrangement. But one word was conspicuously missing from […]

 

Service Employees Inat’l Union Gives $1.7 Mil to Ill. Gov. Quinn

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Service Employees International Union wants YOU to pay more taxes, Illinois. And, in order to get their wish, they’ve donated $1.7 million to the one candidate that has since the beginning promised to raise everyone’s taxes, Governor Pat “Mighty Taximo” Quinn. Oh, it’s a cozy arrangement, of course. The SEIU represents many of Illinois […]

 

Illinois Rep. Halvorson’s $60,000 of Dirty Rangel Money

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

First-term Democratic Congressman Debbie Halvorson (Ill., 14th District) was the recipient of $60,000 in political donations from the ethically compromised New York Representative Charlie Rangel, recently deposed Chairmen of the House Ways and Means Committee. Rangel was found guilty of multiple violations of House ethics rules that have gone on for decades and because of […]

 

If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Bribe ‘Em: Obama Now Trading Judgeships For Votes

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Chicago-style politics once again coming home to roost. The Weekly Standard is reporting that Obama is now selling judgeships for health care votes: Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he’s obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to […]

 

Dem Leaders Knew of Massa’s Sexual Misconduct, Will Dems Be Held Accountable Like GOP Was Over Mark Foley

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remember when Florida Congressman Mark Foley was outed for sexual misconduct with male pages in the House of Representatives in 2006? You’ll recall that the Democrats and the Old Media and the left were in some high dudgeon over the claim that Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert knew all about it before the […]

 

Obama Judgeship Bribery Joins Louisiana Purchase and Cornhusker Kickback

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Are you a member of the U.S. House of Reps or a Senator that needs some “convincing” that selling out your constituents and implementing a socialist take over of healthcare is a good idea? Well, President Wheeler-Dealer has a deal for you. You’ve heard of the Cornhusker Kickback where a Senator from a western state […]

 

159 Big Spending, Big Government Features of Obamacare

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

When Obama says that his Obamacare healthcare plan isn’t a big government take over of healthcare he really is simply lying outright to the nation (well, let’s be honest, it’s not really his plan because the Democrats wrote it and he had no real input into it). Here is a list of 159 new programs, […]

 

Tea Party ‘Extremists’ Take Center Stage

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The liberal media’s newest meme is to claim that the tea party movement is made up exclusively of John Birchers, militia types, racists, and “birthers.” Politico, for instance, had an extensive story about how legitimate conservatives are coming to realize that they’ll have to conduct a Buckley styled purge of the extremists if they expect […]

 

Um, MSNBC is *Totally* Losing It: Host Screeching About Racists and Nazis

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I’m not really sure who this Dylan Ratigan is and I suspect that maybe 3 people – tops – watch his show. However, his behavior, whilst interviewing Mark Williams about Tea Parties, is indicative of how desperate MSNBC and many on the far left have become. Just keep screeching “you want to kill black people. […]
