100 Places To Visit Before Climate Change Doesn’t Destroy Them

Posted on by William Teach

Oh, wait, sorry, I let my natural skepticism and denial get in the way of a good climate alarmist screed, as Newsweek’s Fareed Zakaria completely loses his mind (or is he just trying to be overly controversial so that someone actually reads their magazine?): 100 Places To Remember Before They Disappear (Had to use a […]

 

Those Delusional ‘Coffee Party’ Lefties

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The self-delusional world in which liberals wallow truly is amazing. It takes an Olympic gymnast’s level of agility to warp your logic enough to think like one of them and a recent report on the left-wing blather site Newsvine is yet one more example of the backbreaking contortions that liberals must indulge to make themselves […]

 

Why Can’t Old Media Get History Right Part 2: Boston Herald Muffs Rev War

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last week I posted a deconstruction of the muffed WWII history as penned by NPR commentator Cokie Roberts. Today I have another example of muddled history in the Old Media. This one is misconstrued Revolutionary War history as published by the Boston Herald. Hard to believe that the Boston Herald, a paper that sits in […]

 

New York Times Runs Racist Op-Ed Against Tea Party

Posted on by Brian Garst

Charles M. Blow, a regular columnist for the New York Times, has taken the already despicable race narrative on the Tea Parties to another level.:  He begins with a bit of “diversity” hunting: I had specifically come to this rally because it was supposed to be especially diverse. And, on the stage at least, it […]

 

Copyright, incentive and freedom

Posted on by Ron Coleman

“Information wants to be free.” I must have mocked those words dozens of times on my blog. : Or a few. :  I might be counting the times I just thought that. Either way, that expression is not an argument. It’s a statement of ideological faith. The pro-copyright right has its own religion on this, too. […]

 

Should Black People Feel “Uncomfortable” on Majority White NBDNC/MSDNC, Too?

Posted on by Sister Toldjah

This has absolutely got to be the video of the week: Here’s the recap, via Brent Baker at the MRC: “There aren’t a lot of African-American men at these events,” NBC News reporter Kelly O’Donnell, a white woman, told Darryl Postell, a black man at a Tea Party rally held Thursday in Washington, DC, pressing […]

 

Maureen Dowd’s Insanity: Being Catholic Woman The Same As Living Under Sharia Law

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Maureen Dowd, columnist for The New York Times, has finally lost that last tenuous grip she had on her sanity. I thought she was already taking a long walk off the short pier of her sanity when she started hearing non-existent words, such as “boy” after Joe Wilson’s “You Lie” comment. That was nothing compared […]

 

Cokie Roberts: Japanese Internment Was an Immigration Issue?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Why is it that lefties always get history wrong? The Jewish World Review recently published an editorial by NPR commentator Cokie Roberts and her hubby meant to urge the country toward “comprehensive” immigration reform by praising America’s history of immigrant labor. But even as much of what the two Roberts say is dead on, there […]

 

Gosh Darn it… The Assoc. Press is all Mad at Me (Update on NJ School Cross-Dressing Day)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I hate it when the Old Media gets all mad at me, and stuff. But, here is the vaunted AP scolding me for “skewering” a grade school over the story of the canceled cross-dressing day that was to be held at the Maude Wilkins School in New Jersey. On the morning of April 12 I […]

 

Maureen Dowd: A Degraded State of Intelligent Discourse

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I don’t write about Maureen Dowd simply because she rarely offers anything worthy of serious, intellectual discussion. I don’t claim any sort of high intellect for myself, of course, and don’t necessarily claim to be able to thoroughly judge the work of the deepest of thinkers but Dowd’s work is like the old saying about […]

 

Here’s a Leftist Spin on Healthcare For You

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said that Obamacare is a ”momentous step toward comprehensive health care.” Implicit in that statement is that Obamacare isn’t finished and the left fully intends to up the ante even more as time goes on. But that isn’t the spin I announced in my headline. Here is something from the AFL-CIONowBlog […]

 

Washington Post Ombudsman Misses Point

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Today, in his guise as the Washington Post’s ombudsman, Andrew Alexander posted a discussion about the recent misreporting by the Old Media about the various “incidents” that supposedly occurred between the admittedly raucous tea party protesters and members of Congress in Washington, D.C., during the healthcare fight. But while Alexander finally makes some admissions on […]

 

Another Motherhood-Hating, Traditional Gender Role-Attacking, San Fran Liberal

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Margot Magowan a blogger for the San Francisco Chronicle must have gone to college. I say that not because she seems so well educated, but because she seems to hate traditional gender roles. After all, the only place that women become radical feminists is in college because the real world does not teach such balderdash. […]

 

Union Chief Claims He Witnessed ‘Racism’ At Tea Party…Yeah, Riiiiight

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Not long ago Andrew Breitbart issued a challenge to the anti-tea party left to show proof that the “N” word was thrown at black members of Congress by Tea Party protesters in their walk to Congress just prior to their passage on Obamacare. In fact, Breitbart has offered $100,000 for video or audio proof of […]

 

How Much Is a Seat in Congress Going For?

Posted on by Dave Blount

Bart Stupak will slither away rather than face the wrath of the voters he betrayed. Here’s how the left is trying to spin the situation: Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) plans to announce his retirement today, Democrats briefed on his decision said. Stupak, the leader of a pro-life faction within his party, had received death threats […]

 

Outrageous: FBI Uses Non-Violent Conservative Group as Bait to Catch Stalker

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Senator Patty Murray (D, Wa) doesn’t want to hear from her constituents if they are upset at her vote for Obama’s take over of our nation’s healthcare. One voter in particular has earned Murray’s ire. He has almost daily called Murray’s offices and in no uncertain terms informed the Senator that he hates her healthcare […]

 

Obama’s Increased Use of Death From the Skies, Where’s the Anti-War Left?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Washington Think Tank New America Foundation has been reporting on drone strikes in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq for quite some time and its tally of kills by U.S. drones reveals an interesting thing. It shows that drone kills under President Obama are far and away higher than those under Bush. Reliable numbers of those […]

 

NPR’s New Abortion Terms Skews Toward Pro-Abortionists

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

National Public Radio has decided to change its labels for the two sides of the abortion issue. Unfortunately, its change skews the debate rhetorically in favor of the pro-abortion side by softening the fact that they are for abortion and by making of their position a “right.” Previously, NPR was using the terms “pro-choice” and […]

Moonbats Dream of Imprisoning Pope Benedict

Posted on by Dave Blount

The Easter propaganda blitzkrieg the liberal media has been waging against the Catholic Church went into hyperdrive when AP started fantasizing about arresting the Pope: Protests are growing against Pope Benedict XVI’s planned trip to Britain, where some lawyers question whether the Vatican’s implicit statehood status should shield the pope from prosecution over sex crimes […]

Obama Throws White Half Under the Bus. Again

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

The New York Times apparently thinks they have a scoop by revealing that Barack Obama is *officially* black. You would think that was a shocking discovery, based on how it appears to be a note-worthy revelation to the New York Times. It is official: Barack Obama is the nation’s first black president. A White House […]

 

Selective Outrage and the Catholic Church

Posted on by Cassandra

The temptation to look for scapegoats is a human failing, too. Those who hate the military gleefully seize on every crime committed by a soldier, sailor or Marine as evidence that war causes crime, as though it were unheard of for civilians to rape, murder or steal. Those who hate religion seize on crimes committed by the faithful as evidence that religion causes pedophilia, as though child abuse were the exclusive province of the Catholic church.

Never mind that civilians and atheists commit crimes too.

The truth was exposed during his excellent interview with Pam Stout, President of Sandpoint, Idaho Tea Party. This is not an April Fools’ Day joke either.

Obama’s Biggest Lobbyist Winners from Left-Wing Advocacy Organizations

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On the campaign trail, now President Obama regularly excoriated lobbyists. He said he’d make the government “open and transparent” and said he’d make it hard for lobbyists to “curry favor” with his administration “based on how much they can spend on a fancy dinner.” Once elected, John Podesta, a member of his transition team, said […]

 

Those Unhinged ‘Tea Baggers’ Are so Un-American

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I am about sick to my stomach over all the ill-tempered protest signs and the over-the-top rhetoric from all these “tea baggers,” man. It’s a good thing that the left is so patriotic and level-headed. Why THEY would NEVER act like morons, half-wits, and the unhinged. They are logical, dispassionate, intellectual even. Leftists are all […]

 

La Amistad: How the AP Commonly Muffs American History

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Associated Press has a famous book on grammar and style that its news writers use to govern their work, a book that is also popular with the whole American news industry. It has served as a standard for many years. The AP, however, seems to have no style or rule for reporting history. Or […]

 

Let’s Get Serious About Immigration, Conservatives

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

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 […]
