Obama White House Bans Newspaper For Printing a Mitt Romney Op Ed

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently the Obama White House is not so fond of the Boston Herald. Well, maybe “not so fond” is too mild. More like furious. So mad, in fact, that the paper was banned by the White House from covering local visits by Obama and crew. The Boston Herald said “pretty please” and Big Brother O’s […]

Children’s Book Publisher Collapses to Radical Environmentalist Pressure

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Extremist environmentalists have won yet another victory for propagandizing our children in schools by forcing Scholastic Books to junk a proposed energy-themed classroom education packet that treated the subject in a more even handed mode in favor of a program that only pushes extremist enviro policies. Yes, once again, the hard-core, anti-capitalist left has won […]

 

Slate: Proving Once Again Why Leftists Don’t ‘Get’ Radical Islam

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

… and Why Liberals are Our Weak Spot For the online, left-wing magazine Slate, William Saletan thinks he’s found something that will damage Osama bin Ladden’s reputation in the Islamic world. But what he thinks is such a big deal proves that he doesn’t understand radical Islam or even the Muslim world. Worse, it proves […]

 

LOL! NY Times Editorial Board Thinks Obama Can Actually “Do Something” On Mid-East Peace

Posted on by William Teach

You’ll have to forgive the “LOL!”: I thought it was a bit more realistic than the overused “Oh, Snap!” Though, perhaps I should have used the more precise “ROTFLMAO”. Or, a simple “DERP”, as you will have competing facial expressions reading this tripe from the NY Times: President Obama and the Arab Spring It should […]

I just finished with a blogger conference call held by Speaker Gingrich in which he tried to further explain where he stands on Paul Ryan, the budget, and Obamacare.

AP Tars Tea Party Movement as ‘Grandfathered’ By Ron Paul

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In a story by Jay Root for the Associated Press, the news wire service tries to tar the entire Tea Party movement with guilt by association claiming that it was somehow fathered or “grandfathered” by Texas Representative Ron Paul, the cranky uncle of the GOP. The fact is Ron Paul had nothing at all to […]

 

Old Media Ninnies Alert: German Newscast Displays Star Trek Logo as Seal Team 6 Patch

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Steve Gill* found an amusing little story. Apparently a German television news show had a report on Seal Team 6, the group responsible for taking down Osama bin Ladden, and the TV folks meant to show the military patch of the Seals on-air. But instead of showing Seal Team 6’s actual arm patch, the morons […]

 

Wash Post’s Cohen: GOP Should Compromise… Like They Did With Slavery?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Richard Cohen is what passes for an opinion editorialist in the Washington Post — not a learned one, just a bloviating one. Cohen’s latest, “The Myth of American Exceptionalism,” is at the same time as self-loathing as it is historically stupid. Not only does this nonsense Cohen ladled out upon us all serve an example […]

So says cheerleader Alexandra, sorry, Alexander Burns at The Politico So much for campaigning against Jimmy Carter. In the aftermath of Osama bin Laden’s death, Republicans are adjusting to a new political reality: with the bin Laden trump card now in President Barack Obama’s possession, it’s looking increasingly likely the 2012 campaign will ride on […]

A rebuttal to Jesse Kornbluth on the subject of Andrew Sullivan

Posted on by Bookworm

I wrote a post taking Harvard grad Jesse Kornbluth (class of ’68) to task for his carelessly flattering portrayal of “journalist” and blogger Andrew Sullivan. It’s fine to like Sullivan, although I would question a person’s judgment in doing so. What bothered me was that Kornbluth failed to discover that Sullivan has taken a fair […]

Superman has just flipped the United States of America a super powered middle finger. In an upcoming issue of Action Comics, DC Comics is to have Superman appear before the United Nations to renounce his American citizenship. “Truth, justice, and the American way is not enough anymore,” Superman tells us.

Brandon K. Thorp, a gay activist from the alternative weekly Broward-Palm Beach New Times newspaper, is only the latest left-winger to launch into a verbal assault on Lt. Col. Allen West, now a Representative from Florida’s 22nd District. Like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman, Rep. West is one of the many conservatives that leftists fear […]

 

TIME Mag Does Not Know What ‘Influential’ Means with Top 100 Most Influential People

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Like all too many Americans TIME Magazine proves that it doesn’t know what is worth celebrating, noting, or memorializing in this world. Time doesn’t know what “important” means, it doesn’t know what “influential” means, it doesn’t even know what “top” means. And it has proven this again with its latest “2011 TIME 100 most influential […]

 

Left Laments Ryan’s GOP Budget NOT Raising America’s Ire

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left is desperate to color Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan’s GOP budget plan (The Path to Prosperity, as it is styled) as the end of America, crazed to call his plan a killer of old people, and maniacal about saying that the GOP and Ryan want to destroy the country by asking for a few […]

 

3 Reasons Why Wonkette Self-destructed by Publishing a Hit Piece on Trig Palin

Posted on by Susannah Fleetwood

For the last several days, Twitter has been all aflutter with stories about a supposedly horrific attack on Trig Palin by the liberal website Wonkette. After seeing the uproar on Twitter, I remember thinking to myself, “Could this column from Wonkette attacking Trig (on his third birthday) really be as bad as everyone says?” Well, […]

 

Huggies Diapers, Papa John’s Pizza Pull Ads From Left-Wing Blog Attacking Trig Palin

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Note, I was going to ignore this story, but since advertisers are pulling out over it, I felt I’d better write about it. One of the left’s favorite websites is called Wonkeete. It is popular because it has a reputation of being newsie, yet snarky, sort of like a less intelligent version of Comedy Central’s […]

 

NY Times: Why, Yes, Military Spending Should Be Cut To Reduce Debt

Posted on by William Teach

There are many things one can expect to hear from liberals when it comes to government spending: raise taxes (sorry, “reduce expenditures in the tax code”), increase social spending, cut intelligence spending, and, cut military spending, the last cut being to a duty of the federal government that actually appears in the Constitution….yes, I know, […]

 

CBS’ Bob Schieffer, Class Warrior: Hey, I know. Let’s Soak the Rich!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If there was any doubt about how hostile the Old Media is toward tax cuts, spending cuts, and making government accountable and Constitutionally justifiable, CBS’ Bob Schieffer is happy to dispel that doubt. On the April 17 episode of Face the Nation, Schieffer asked Congressman Paul Ryan (R, WS) why we can’t just soak the […]

 

Left-Wingers Have the Cash To Constantly Beat Conservatives

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As some of you may remember I have been covering the anti-vote fraud efforts of True The Vote, a program created by the Texas-based King Street Patriots. They recently sent out a fund raising letter that almost immediately drew the notice of left wingers intent on destroying their anti-vote fraud work. This immediate response by […]
