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 […]

 

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 […]

 

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 […]

 

AP Notices Black TEA Partiers Called Racist Names, But, It’s Not Racism, Cause They’re Conservatives

Posted on by William Teach

Finally, the MSM is waking up to the fact that not all TEA Partiers are whites and right wing extremists. In fact, there are actually Black TEA Partiers They’ve been called Oreos, traitors and Uncle Toms, and are used to having to defend their values. Now black conservatives are really taking heat for their involvement […]

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 […]

 

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.

 

David Letterman Finally Exposes the Truth About Tea Partiers

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

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. David Letterman had Pam Stout, the Sandpoint, Idaho Tea Party President on his show the other night. The result? A very fair and enlightening interview, showing the real face […]

 

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 […]

 

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 […]
