MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer Wishes That Times Square Bomber Was a Tea Partier

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This morning MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer appeared on the Stephanie Miller radio show, a small syndicated left-wing talker, and during her appearance she expressed her “frustration” that the Times Square bomber was a Pakistani terrorist instead of a white person. Apparently Brewer had hoped that a new Tim McVeigh perhaps coming from the Tea Party movement […]

 

Rep. Waxman Slips in ‘Bad Vitamin’ clause into Wall Street Reform Bill

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Nothing says Washington crookedness like a congressman slipping a clause into a bill that has absolutely nothing whatever to do with the main purpose of the legislation. Here we have just another cynical, corrupt bargain made in Washington D.C. with the effort of Henry Waxman (D, Ca) who slipped a little clause into the Wall […]

 

Washington to Give Unions More Power to Tell Corporations What to Do

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Senator Chris Dodd (D, Conn.) wants to give unions more power in the boardrooms of our nation’s businesses. In essence, Dodd wants to force corporate boards under the thumb of unions by federal fiat. Carefully hidden in Dodd’s new regulations are provisions that give new powers to board members, powers aimed at giving unions more […]

 

Behavioral Science, Behavioral Economics, Social Science, Psychology… How are these ‘Science’? Why Is Obama Using them to Ruin This Nation?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

OK, let me get this straight. The bulk of the “research” that the so-called sciences mentioned in the headline above are done in university labs. There they conduct these “experiments” mostly, not exclusively, but mostly, on grad students and other students willing to go to the lab and take surveys, answer questions, and participate in […]

 

Does Obama Want to Destroy America? Yes, But…

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Rush Limbaugh and a few other radio hosts have made it a center piece of the attack against President Obama, the Tea Partiers have often put such sentiment on their protest signs, and the conservative chattering classes have been abuzz with the question: does Barack Obama want to destroy the United States? The only real […]

 

Mickey Kaus, Union Fighter?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For the Washington Post’s Post Partisan Blog Charles Lane’s somewhat irreverent, perhaps even dismissive treatment of the admittedly quixotic Senate campaign of journalist Mickey Kaus painted the would-be candidate as a union fighter. Interestingly, he isn’t far off the mark, which is odd for the fact that Kaus is a pretty straight down the line […]

 

Republican Governors Association Video: Remember November

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I was going to submit this without comment, because the video speaks for itself. However, it appears that the video is even more effective than I first thought. Allahpundit at Hot Air notes that Time Magazine (I know. I was surprised to learn that it’s still in:  publication, too) is already frothing at the mouth […]

 

Video: After Saying They’re Angry Mobs, Sen. Boxer Now Wants Her Supporters to be Like Tea Partiers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Kerry Picket of the Washington Times found two amusing videos of California Senator Barbara Boxer, one in 2009 and one from this month, that shows the sad state of affairs in which Democrats find themselves politically these days. In 2009, Boxer was warning about those dangerous “well dressed” angry mobs that make up the tea […]

 

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 […]

 

Nanny State Becomes Wet Nurse State

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Democrats have long been creepily obsessed with my fancy womb and it’s “reproductive rights”, all as just a way to mask the furthering of their own agendas. They have now moved on to being obsessed with my boobies as well. More goodies hidden in the health care bill have been exposed, literally: Nursing mothers will […]

 

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 […]

 

Indiana Right to Life Realizes No Such Thing As a Pro-Life Democrat

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Indiana Right to Life PAC just announced that they are now barring the endorsement of Democratic candidates. “Our leadership anguished over this decision,” notes IRTL-PAC chairman Mike Fichter. “Had Democrats like Brad Ellsworth held firm in opposing federal funding for abortion in the health care bill, we likely would have rewarded such action with a […]

 

Rep. Wasserman Schultz; Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Actually, I think I’ll say “Liar, Liar, Skirt on fire” just to tick off her feminist sensibilities.:  Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a huge liar. Yes, a liar. In the video clip below, she blatantly lies and says that the health care bill, which she voted for, does not require mandatory insurance. This is an outright […]

 

This Congressman Doesn’t Know the Constitution

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

What the heck is that old Constitution thingie, anyway? Does anyone in Congress know? Of course we’ve been railing about those leftist members of Congress who both don’t know anything about the Constitution, nor care a whit about it. But it isn’t just the lefties that don’t know anything about the Constitution. Here we have […]

 

Ohio’s Rep. Kaptur: Coward of The County (Vote Rich Iott)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Ohio Representative Marcy Kaptur voted yes on the socialist take over of our nation’s helathcare system. She then proudly announced that she’d hold a healthcare townhall back home in Ohio over the break. But then she canceled it. Why? Because she got wind of the fact that a few tea party folks from her district […]

Ill. Rep. Hare Buying Stock in Wool, Now Claims He DOES Care About Constitution

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A few days ago Rep. Phil Hare told some of his constituents that he didn’t care about the U.S. Constitution and that he was going to help push through Congress Obama’s un-Constitutional take over of our healthcare anyway. Unfortunately for Hare he was being video taped as he said it. Today it has been revealed […]

 

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 […]

 

Union Hack Becker Gets Recess Appointment

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President Obama is determined to misuse his office to payoff unions and to that end he has given union goon Craig Becker a recess appointment as the head of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the agency tasked with implementing fair and responsible federal rules to govern labor and employers. The U.S. Chamber of commerce […]

 

Democrat Health Care Bill is Sexist and Anti-Mom

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

When Nancy Pelosi uttered the ridiculous comment the other day that “being a woman will no longer be considered a pre-existing medical condition”, I chalked it up to simply being the further rantings of an out of touch Stepford Feminist, always walking in lockstep with some perceived victim mentality. I thought to myself “No, Speaker, […]

 

Rep Dingell Admits Obamacare Is All About Control

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Representative John Dingell (D-MI) inadvertently divulged the end goal of the Democrats yesterday during a radio interview::  They need to control we rubes. They will stop at nothing to further that agenda and achieve that goal. We knew this already, but the left is now making no attempt to even mask it. This also is […]

 

Stupak and Lessons Learned: Democrats Lie. Chronically

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Image courtesy of cafepress.com The second lesson that should be learned is that there is no such thing as a Pro-Life Democrat. Partisanship and agendas over-ride all. Thus, it should come as no surprise that Bart Stupak sold out for an Executive Order;:  a piece of paper that holds absolutely no merit, particularly when coming […]
