NPR Reinvents Frances Fox Piven as Harmless Victim

Posted on by Dave Blount

Canadian-born ultra-radical leftist Frances Fox Piven is coauthor of the Cloward-Piven strategy, which calls for placing impossible demands on the welfare state, collapsing the American economy so as to clear the way for Soviet-style communism. The strategy was used to bankrupt New York City in the 1970s, and remains the only coherent explanation for Barack […]

 

Wild Growth in Extremist, Anti-Government Groups in America… Or Is There?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Without having any substantive proof of its claims, once again the Old Media takes the word of The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a group that says right-wing hate groups are on the rise in the United States of America. Worse that Old Media outlet, Agence France Presse, simply takes this group’s press release, re-words […]

 

Charlie Sheen and the bedlamite approach to insanity

Posted on by Bookworm

England’s Bethlem Royal Hospital, founded in the 13th Century as part of a convent, eventually transformed itself into the world’s first facility dedicated to the mentally ill. By the 16th Century, when it housed only the mentally ill, it was famous for the cruelty with which those patients were treated. The word “bedlam,” which describes […]

Sunday night at the Oscars, Natalie Portman was giving her acceptance speech for Best Actress when she thanked “my beautiful love, Benjamin Millepied who choreographed the film and has now given me the most important role of my life” – motherhood.:  It was a beautiful moment, but this Salon writer, Mary Elizabeth Williams, found Portman’s […]

 

Left-Wing Group Takes Down Conservative Website — Petty Little Children Affecting Nothing

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left-wing Internet-based group calling itself “Anonymous” briefly took down the website of the conservative activist group Americans For Prosperity on Sunday, Feb. 27. Yet all the sturm und drang signifying… what? Me thinks that “Anonymous” is reading too many comic books. Amusingly, with the Denial of Service (DNS) attack “Anonymous” imagines themselves striking a […]

 

The Mainstream Media’s Eternal Kathleen Parker Dilemma

Posted on by John Hawkins

CNN’s Parker-Spitzer is now just “Spitzer,” I guess, after Kathleen Parker unceremoniously exited stage left. John Ziegler cuts to the heart of the matter in explaining why the show was doomed from the start: But the primary reason why the program couldn’t work is also the very reason Parker got the gig in the first […]

 

Obama Misspells Libya on Twitter Feed

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston So, not only has Obama turned a deaf ear to the dozens getting killed in Libya by their own mad dictator, but when the White House Twitter feed finally did decide to discuss the country it spelled the name of the place incorrectly. Seriously, White House? “Lybia”? Sounds like something that […]

 

Defunding Obama’s Union Led Regulatory Army

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

You might recall that with great fanfare and the slobberingly positive coverage by the Old Media, President Obama made Reagan-like and claimed that he thought it was time to get rid of the regulations strangling American business. Since that time he’s met with businesses and pretended to suddenly be a pro-business, pro-economic growth president. His […]

 

Wisc. and Ind. Democrats: Union Cash Driving Democrats to Run and Hide

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

With Democrat state legislators in Wisconsin and now Indiana fleeing their states so that they don’t have to do their job — just call them fleebaggers — it would be easy to assume that Democrats are cowards. If not cowards, then petulant children throwing temper tantrums because voters did not give them a power-lock majority. […]

 

Wisconsin Teachers: Putting Kids at Risk

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Why do these teachers hate Wisconsin’s kids? A reader named Tom from Des Moines, Iowa, emailed me and asked some pertinent questions of these recalcitrant teachers. I have asked some of these questions here myself and I have heard a few of them floated on Twitter, Facebook and the radio, but it is good to […]

 

Addendum To My CPAC Post: My Pictures Were Featured On Red Eye!!

Posted on by Susannah Fleetwood

As some of you are aware, earlier this week I published a post that was chockerblock full of pictures documenting my adventures at CPAC. Well, included in that post were pictures of myself with the hilarious Red Eye guys, the hysterical Stephen Kruiser (who is a frequent guest on Red Eye, as well as the […]

 

No Truth In Left’s Wisconsin Union Support or Its State Budget Surplus Story

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

First came the disgrace of supposedly intelligent teachers in Wisconsin sporting hundreds of signs calling Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker “Hitler” and now comes the entire liberal blogosphere and it’s echo chamber in the left-media establishment claiming that Gov. Walker has “ginned up” a budget shortfall when he actually has a budget surplus. One wonders when […]

 

PBS Sends Belated Valentine to MoveOn.org

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On February 18, our taxpayer-subsidized entertainers at PBS gave a little shoutout to one of their most stout supporters. On its Twitter feed on Friday, PBS heartily thanked the extremist left-wing activist group Moveon.org for its support in helping the broadcaster push for greater amounts of money from the pockets of the taxpayers and continue […]

 

So They Called Him Hitler, So What? Grow Up, The Both of You!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

You know, I am about sick to death of this childish back and forth between the unhinged left and the oh-so-outraged right on the name calling issue, especially where it concerns the use of the name of humanity’s most evil villain, Hitler. Yeah, they said (put latest politician here) is Hitler. But so what? Let’s […]

 

FCC’s Michael Copps Demands His Critics Be Silenced

Posted on by Dave Blount

Most of the insidious bureauweenies eating away America from within remain as faceless as they are unaccountable. But a few distinguish themselves for their open belligerence toward our fundamental liberties: Federal Communications Commissioner Michael Copps made a case for a government hand in media policy in a speech to the FCBA [Federal Communications Bar Association] […]

 

3 Reasons Why CPAC is a Must For Every Conservative Activist….[Major Picture Dump]

Posted on by Susannah Fleetwood

[A big thank you to Richard Hornsby for the photo] This past Wednesday through Saturday, The American Conservative Union sponsored the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC. CPAC was open to all conservative activists who wanted to attend. This year, I had the honor of being a credentialed blogger for CPAC, and, thus, was […]

 

Palin Gives Time A Few Minutes of Her Time About Its False ‘Reporting’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The media is so sure that only the worst about Palin could possibly be true that false stories, out right lies, and even comedy bits are constantly presented as actual news. Time Magazine is the latest to fall into that trap by reporting a satirical Internet posting about Sarah Palin as hard news. It all […]

 

He’s Finally Done it! Bob Herbert Sets a New Standard for Idiocy at The New York Times

Posted on by Doug Ross

Ever wonder how Bob Herbert got hired at the Times? I’ll bet editor Bill Keller is wondering that today after reading the columnist’s latest world-class nutbaggery, which was layered paragraph upon paragraph like some sort of delusion cake. I’ll spare you all of the details: just consider a few “highlights”: • “More and more Americans […]

 

Canada Takes Tentative Step Toward Freedom of the Press

Posted on by Dave Blount

Even in Canada, though it often gutters low, the flame of liberty is still alive. A CRTC [Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission] proposal that could make it easier to broadcast false or misleading news has prompted confusion and criticism among opposition MPs and consternation in at least one of the unions that represents Canadian journalists.

Senator Jim Webb: The Hypocrisy at the Core of the Democrat Party

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Virginia’s Junior Senator, Jim Webb, is already hanging up his senatorial career. One term was enough for the so-called moderate Virginia Democrat. He’s announced that he will not run for reelection. But the fact that he got elected at all shows the essential hypocrisy at the heart of the Democrat Party. Webb, you see, is […]

 

Now THERE’S Chutzpah: Obama Claims He hasn’t Raised Taxes?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

John Kartch over at Americans for Tax Reform found President Obama’s claim that he hasn’t raised taxes a bit, shall we say, quixotic. At one point in the interview with Obama conducted by Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly and shown on Sunday, Obama stated bald faced that he didn’t do so. The truth seems to be […]

 

More Evidence that Centrists Democrats Are Dead

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Ben Smith of POLITICO is reporting that the Democrat leadership Council is on it’s last paws and about to go belly up. This is one more little hint that the centrist, the moderate, or the “Blue Dog” Democrat is truly an extinct animal in America today. The Donkey’s big tent is more like a birdcage […]

 

AOL Plunges Into the Deep End of Moonbattery With HuffPo

Posted on by Dave Blount

AOL finally ended its disastrous marriage to moonbatty Time-Warner, but apparently learned nothing from the experience: Online company AOL Inc. is buying online news hub Huffington Post in a $315 million deal that represents a bold bet on the future of online news. … Perhaps just as important as picking up a news site that […]

 

Rachel Maddow’s Reason For Being Duped by Satire Website: It’s Conservatives Fault

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remember when you were a kid and you got caught doing something you shouldn’t have been doing? Remember when you were confronted with your wrong doing that your first response was to blame everyone else? Well, that is very common for a child… or for a liberal, apparently. At least it is for MSNBC’s left-wing […]

 

Video: President Obama, You’re No Ronald Reagan

Posted on by Susannah Fleetwood

This past week, Time magazine wrote an extremely dishonest column comparing Barack Obama to Ronald Reagan. In fact, Michael Sherer, one of the column’s co-authors, claimed on Hardball that Obama has always seen Reagan as a model, even though Sherer admitted in his column that “Reagan would come to epitomize all that Obama opposed”. That […]

 

Jim DeMint…. A Squish?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

David Weigel’s recent Slate piece on Jim DeMint (R, SC) is a perfect example of a gentle leftwing undertone sprinkled into a story like seasoning salt in order to gently spin a story to negatively effect conservatives, or at the very least to artificially heighten tensions in order to make it seem as if conservatives […]

 

A Snap Shot of Congressional Arrogance

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

POLITICO posted a piece last week that shows the arrogance of our duly elected Senators in Washington D.C. After reading this piece, one gets the impression that this good old boys club is not only one that not just anyone is allowed to join but one that finds itself beyond even the voters that put […]

 

The Left’s Lying Liars Trying to Smear Michelle Bachmann’s Tea Party Response

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left’s latest unfair, false, and downright scurrilous attack on Michelle Bachmann focuses on her Tea Party response video aired after President Obama’s State of the Union speech last week. I am a bit late to this story, I realize, but I wanted to get it aired here regardless. The left’s claim is that Michelle […]
