Obama Forces Lenders to Cut Off Gun Sellers With ‘High Risk’ Label

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama is sneaking a backdoor gun ban on the nation by pushing new regulations that forces banks and lenders to refuse to loan money to firearm oriented businesses. Calling their businesses “high risk,” this is just another defacto gun ban. Despite the fact that every state now has its own concealed carry law and despite […]

 

Mass. Democrat Says Gov’t Should Control Media

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

That darned old media is just out of control and filled with “hate crimes,” Senator Ed Markey (D, Mass.) says. So, he thinks the best solution is that government should control everything we see and hear. What could go wrong with that, Mr. Orwell? Markey has proposed a tax dollar-wasting “study” to find ways to […]

 

Is This The Best We Can Do?

Posted on by Robert Cleveland

It seems that Republicans’ plans to stick to the issue of Obamacare right up to the midterm elections are falling through, as Congressional leadership – including and especially Speaker John Boehner – have renewed their push for “comprehensive” immigration reform.:  This is a losing issue for Republicans, so it begs the question of why the […]

 

POLICE STATE: Feds Still Buying Tons of Ammunition

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

“Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty.”–John Basil Barnhill, 1914 If liberals want to get rid of guns in society, apparently the first place they should start is the federal government. For some unexplainable reason, nearly every federal agency has its own armed, para-military […]

 

Obama’s speech: translated so useful idiots and low information voters can understand it

Posted on by Josh Bernstein

Last night was without a doubt the most vile, disgusting, and terrifying State of the Union speech in our Nation’s history. I do not mince words here. What the people that are paying attention witnessed last night was the first American dictator. Comrade Obama’s speech was exactly what you would expect to hear from a […]

 

A fractured party is a losing party

Posted on by Josh Bernstein

Why is it that when Democrats govern like Socialist dictators they win, but when Republicans govern like Democrats they lose? The sad part is that both parties govern in such a similar capacity that it is hard to tell them apart these days. Both parties have an insatiable appetite for spending; and fiscal discipline in […]

 

Dismantling Washington

Posted on by Josh Bernstein

Washington, D.C. (which the DC part now stands for dirty cesspool) should become a thing of the past. Society has outgrown the need for a centralized government full of power hungry aristocrats, greedy lobbyists, and corrupt white collar criminals. When I say criminals I am not just talking in the abstract; I am referring to […]

 

My Amazing, Earth-Shattering, Dynamic, Never-Before-Seen Analysis Of The State Of The Union

Posted on by Robert Cleveland

OK, I confess: I didn’t actually watch the speech. I tried, I really did. Well, okay, I didn’t even really try. I did manage to muddle through the first few minutes of the speech as I waited for my wife to get ready to go out to dinner – which basically amounted to waiting until […]

 

Reminder: Sen. Feinstein Said She Wants All Guns Banned

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of the lines that many progressives and TV talking heads are reiterating is that no one really wants to take away Americans’ guns. Senator Dianne Feinstein apparently missed that directive. She admitted as far back as 1995 that she does, indeed, wish to take everyone’s guns away from them. In a 1995 broadcast of […]

 

Temporary Fiscal Cliff Compromise Full of Pork, Tax Hikes and Spending Increases

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Temporary Fiscal Cliff Compromise Full of Pork, Tax Hikes and Spending Increases Congressional Republicans caved in to the Democrats this week, surrendering their principles in order to pass a bill that merely delays the looming fiscal cliff by two months. This is the first time Republicans have voted for a tax increase in 20 years. […]

 

Sen. Schumer Says Long Dead Assault Weapons Ban Responsible for Current Falling Crime Stats

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On Sunday Senator Chuck Schumer tried to pass off the 1994 assault weapons ban bill that was canceled eight years ago as the reason that today’s violent crime rates have been down. In a discussion about gun control with Senator Chuck Schumer (D, NY) and Lindsey Graham (R, SC), David Gregory of NBC’s Meet The […]

 

Time to Remove Boehner as Speaker?

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) may have finally gone too far betraying conservatives. This past week, he removed three conservative Republican Congressmen from their committee positions in retaliation for not voting for his compromises on the budget with Democrats — compromises that led us to the current “fiscal cliff.” Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ) […]

 

The NRCC Asks What do YOU Want to Tell Nancy Pelosi

Senator Rand Paul: Bringing Sanity to Congress’ Voting Process

Posted on by Dustin Siggins

Last week, Congress passed a flawed transportation/flood insurance/student loan bill that became law soon thereafter. The bill’s issues, which I outlined at the above link, include the following: The conference report combined three unrelated bills into one, a too-common practice on Capitol Hill to offset costs and garner votes by putting “must-pass” legislation around bills […]

 

Chicago Bloggers Onto Obama’s Membership in Communist Group Early

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

With the news of Stanley Kurtz’ NRO piece about Obama’s membership in a radical, communist-styled political party in Chicago making the rounds today, it is instructive to note that bloggers had all this info years ago, before Obama ran for the White House in 2008. Back in the late 1990, then State Senate candidate Barack […]

 

Equal Pay? More Like Special Payoffs to Trial Lawyers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Democrats and left-wing activists have lately been pushing the idea of “equal pay” for women in an attempt to find some issue that would take attention away from the horrible economic record of the Obama administration as the campaign for the White House heats up. But who really benefits from this push? Trial lawyers, of […]

 

US Administration Renews Push to Ratify Law of Sea Treaty

Posted on by Michael Fell

The Obama administration has initiated a renewed push to convince the U.S. Senate to approve the 1982 United Nations Law of the Sea treaty. Administration officials claim approval of the pact is necessary to protect the U.S. Navy’s right to carry out exercises off the coast of China. In the past Chinese ships have harassed […]

 

Florida Dems Can’t Find Voters to Protest Allen West, so They Hire Some

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Democrats and the left are inherently a sham with little actual grassroots support and the race for Florida’s 18th Congressional District is yet another example of this truism. Repeatedly and across the country we see unions, Democrats, and other far left groups planning rallies and protest marches but finding that they simply can’t put bodies […]

 

The Tea Party vs The Status Quo

Posted on by Michael Fell

Much has been said since the November 2010 election about “establishment Republicans” co-opting Senators and Representatives elected with Tea Party support. What “establishment Republicans” evidently refuse to accept is, every Republicans elected in November 2010 owes huge thanks to the Tea Party. “Establishment Republicans” need to understand that Tea Party grassroots activists have had enough […]

 

Now Illinois Dems Want Crook They Supported in Primary to Step Down?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Now the very same accused criminal that Chicago Democrats wanted people to vote for in Tuesday’s primary is being pressured to to step down from his office now that he won — pressured by the exact same Democrat officials that told people to vote for him only three days ago. This particular story is a […]

Tyranny

Posted on by Michael Fell

Of late, much has been made about the current administration’s attack on First Amendment Rights. Attacks have been made on religious liberties (see healthcare mandate on contraception in religious affiliated institutions) http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/12/us/catholic-bishops-criticize-new-contraception-proposal.html and freedom of the press (see White House and Media Matters coordinate attacks on FOX News) http://dailycaller.com/2012/02/12/inside-media-matters-sources-memos-reveal-erratic-behavior-close-coordination-with-white-house-and-news-organizations/ While it may be correct to […]

For those who’re unaware of the big dust up stirred by Fl Rep Allen West, here’re the remarks he made at a Lincoln Day Dinner in West Palm Beach Fl: “We need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and my dear friend the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, we need to let […]

 

The Hollywood Connection Between Democrats and SOPA

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Congress is supposed to represent the interests of everyone. But what happens when powerful special interests contribute heavily to lawmakers’ election campaigns? Last week Americans on the political right and left lined up to oppose SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, and its Senate counterpart PIPA, the Protect IP Act. Internet giants like Google, Wikipedia, […]

 

The NDAA Power Grab

Posted on by Michael Fell

Much is being made about the most recent power grab by the White House. Specifically, Wednesday’s bypassing of the Senate to install three members to the National Labor Relations Board and the appointment of Richard Cordray as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. In order to justify and defend these actions, “progressives” argue that […]

 

Wash. Post Plays Hate-The-Rich-Republicans With Graphic Chart

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston On Wednesday morning the Washington Post’s Aaron Blake posted an infographic that was a perfect example of how one can use a graphic chart to influence the public in subtle ways, ways that we of the center right better start employing in our own efforts if we want to win over […]

 

Senator Dick Durbin: Pants on Fire

Illinois Senior Senator, Democrat Dickie Durbin wants you to know that the fact that the Democrats have not passed a full, working budget in over 900 days is all because of those wascally Republicans.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has issued it’s new candidate questionnaire for the 2012 election season. CAIR is insisting that candidates answer to them before getting that jihadi stamp of approval, apparently.

Ron Paul: Conspiracy Nut, Anti-Semite

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last year Ron Paul said that the CIA perpetrated a coup over the United States. “There’s been a coup, have you heard? It’s the CIA coup. They’re in businesses, in drug businesses.” That fits in as just another part of the wacky world of Ron Paul that has spanned decades of denigrating blacks, assigning all […]

 

Democrats Trick Americans With Payroll Tax Cut Extension Ruse

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

The Democrats are accusing Republicans in Congress of opposing the extension of payroll tax cuts. On the face of it, something seems wrong. Republicans are usually in favor of tax cuts and Democrats generally oppose them, except when there is a Democratic special interest involved like environmental causes. Democrats using the payroll tax cut extension […]
