Global Warming Hoaxer George Moonbat Succumbs to Despair

Posted on by Dave Blount

Seen to the left in actual size is the world’s smallest violin, playing a special rendition of “My Heart Cries for You” in honor of George Monbiot, aka George Moonbat. The collapse of the global warming hoax has made him tragically aware that his life has been a waste of time. Whimpers Moonbat: No level […]

 

Walmart’s Barbie Price is Raaaacist

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Race hustlers, hate peddlers and “critics” strike again with their wolf-crying about raaaacism. This time it’s that eeevil Walmart (again) that is raaaacist because one of its stores marked down the black Barbie doll to $3.00 while the white Barbie doll was still being sold at $5.95. See? It’s raaaacist! ABC claims it found some […]

 

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 […]

 

Nancy Pelosi’s ‘Tell’

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Nancy Pelosi proves that it is possible to give “tells”, even if your face can’t move and you are an accomplished liar. First, the “she made an utter fool of herself” part, because any chance to point and snicker at Pelosi is A-Okay with me. While giving a speech to the National Association of Counties, […]

 

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. […]

 

Beeb Discovers Fundamental Human Right to Internet Access

Posted on by Dave Blount

You didn’t need to read up on Obama’s background to know in advance that he is an authoritarian collectivist. All you had to do was pay attention during the debates. When asked whether healthcare is a privilege or a “right,” Chairman Zero promptly answered that it is a “right.” Healthcare consists of goods and services. […]

 

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 […]

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 […]

 

Unions Support This Detroit Socialist

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left is constantly attempting to wave its hand dismissively at our claims that they are socialists and communists. They claim they are true blue Americans and we are lying about them. Unions are one of the biggest perpetrators of this misinformation. Well, it appears that in Detroit unions came out in support of a […]

 

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 […]

 

Gov’t Employees Now Make More Than Private Sector Workers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The news we have been warning you about is in. Government workers on average exceed the pay scale of those in private industry. The unsustainable situation is here. It is now clear that Bill Clinton was a bit premature when he said that the “era of big government is over.” Sadly he didn’t count on […]

 

The Moral Equivalent Of The War On The Na’vi

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

At a recent pre-Oscar fundraiser, James Cameron goes back to the future, and regurgitates a meme that’s about as old as the original Titanic herself. As John Nolte of Big Hollywood writes, “James Cameron Declares Thoroughly Debunked Global Warming as Severe a Threat as WWII”

 

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 […]

 

Dangerous Anti-Government Gun Nut Rightwinger Suspended From Kindergarten

Posted on by William Teach

Good thing the Nanny State jumped on this quickly! To the little boy’s mother, it was just a 6-year-old boy playing around. But when Mason Jammer, a kindergarten student at Jefferson Elementary in Ionia, curled his fist into the shape of a gun Wednesday and pointed it at another student, school officials said it was […]

 

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. […]

 

The Coffee Party Movement: More Of The Same Old, Same Old

Posted on by John Hawkins

After studiously ignoring, demeaning, and slandering the Tea Party movement, the mainstream media has finally found a beverage based movement they can support: The Coffee Party Movement! Read all about it in this fluff piece from the New York Times: Fed up with government gridlock, but put off by the flavor of the Tea Party, […]
