Dear America, Admit That You’re Stupid! Love, Nancy

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The founding fathers debated bills for weeks. They then wrote them, referred them to committee’s of style and prose, brought them back to the floor, debated them again, wrote newspaper articles about them, went home to their districts to discuss them, and finally passed them — or not — after much deliberation. Today’s Speaker of […]

 

Government Health Care Is Not About Health Care; It’s About Government

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

“Government Health Care is not about health care; It’s about Government.” So reads the last line of Mark Steyn’s latest brilliant article, which I strongly suggest that everyone read. He’s right, of course, but I’d go even a step further. It’s not just about government, it’s about a mindset and a freedom-squashed way of life. […]

 

Dear Harry Reid: Is Your Ivory Tower Padded?

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

If Harry Reid’s Ivory Tower isn’t padded, it should be, because he is cuckoo pants. I submit as exhibit A: Only 36,000 jobs lost, which is UP from last month. What a super awesome day! Who wants evil private sector jobs anyway, right Harry? The rhetoric of the Democrat’s has moved from incomprehensible to absolutely […]

 

If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Bribe ‘Em: Obama Now Trading Judgeships For Votes

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Chicago-style politics once again coming home to roost. The Weekly Standard is reporting that Obama is now selling judgeships for health care votes: Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he’s obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to […]

 

Obama Judgeship Bribery Joins Louisiana Purchase and Cornhusker Kickback

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Are you a member of the U.S. House of Reps or a Senator that needs some “convincing” that selling out your constituents and implementing a socialist take over of healthcare is a good idea? Well, President Wheeler-Dealer has a deal for you. You’ve heard of the Cornhusker Kickback where a Senator from a western state […]

 

159 Big Spending, Big Government Features of Obamacare

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

When Obama says that his Obamacare healthcare plan isn’t a big government take over of healthcare he really is simply lying outright to the nation (well, let’s be honest, it’s not really his plan because the Democrats wrote it and he had no real input into it). Here is a list of 159 new programs, […]

 

Representative Paul Broun is Getting Jersey With It

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Yesterday, Republican Representative Paul Broun, of Georgia no less, played the Jersey card. He not only invoked Snooki, of the Mtv show Jersey Shore, but also “The Situation.” You go, Pauly! Broun: Snookie has more substance than Obama’s bipartisanship “offer” (Washington, D.C.) U.S. Representative Paul Broun, M.D. (GA-10) released the following statement after President Barack […]

 

VIDEO: Four Key Minutes from Obama’s Failed Healthcare Summit

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A great video from the Heritage Foundation that shows how the Republicans really made Obama look the fool at his healthcare summit last week. My favorite is Louise Slaughter (D, NY) who was all upset that a women in here district was “wearing her dead sister’s teeth” because the woman could not afford dental care. […]

 

Mob Rule, Alive and Well, Despite Coughing on Second-Hand Smoke

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

As I was roaming about the house, muttering under my breath with outrage at yet another “How dare you question The One! Racist Crackers! ” demonization of conservatives, I couldn’t help but think, and thus become further dismayed, that I wasn’t really surprised. It is obvious that few, including Congress, understand that America is a […]

 

Heel Time With Bill Maher: He’s Better Than You

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Image courtesy of iowntheworld.com Bill Maher is better than you. Or, so he claims, once again, during an appearance on Larry King. “But what the Democrats never understand is that Americans don’t really care what position you take, just stick with one,” Maher said. “Just be strong. They’re not bright enough to really understand the […]

 

Lefty Dupe Says Pentagon Isn’t Part of the Government

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Americans for Prosperity has this hilarious slice of lefty disconnect that is just so typical of how folks on the left really just don’t have a grasp on rarity. Just outside of Blair House, across the street from the White House at the corner of 17th St & Pennsylvania Ave., we see young lady from […]

 

When Did Dems Hate Reconciliation? When Bush was Prez, of Course

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Senate Democratic Majority leader Harry Reid is spitting more of his venom at the Republicans saying that they should “stop crying” about the Democrats desire to use the “nuclear option” — a process called reconciliation — to pass Obamacare despite that most Americans are against the bill. Reid says that reconciliation is common and that […]

 

Health Care Reconciliation–AKA Jam The Legislation Through–While Using Republicans As Props

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

President Obama has a long history of saying one thing and sounding so reasonable and conciliatory while doing it while taking actions that completely contradict his words. Enter health care reform. The President wants to have a photo op with Republicans and an opportunity to lecture then about what bad people they are (you know, […]

 

Obama’s Aide David Axelrod, Portrait of a Demagogue

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This weekend Obama adviser David Axelrod gave us a perfect example of the art of empty demagoguery. Comments made by Axelrod concerning Obama’s state of the union speech shows an over statement meant to mask the truth in order to evoke sympathy for his boss, the President. Sadly, the truth is the victim here. The […]

 

What Lesson Did Brown Teach Obama/Democrats? Apparently Pass Bad Stuff Faster

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Once Scott Brown took away the Democrat super majority in the Senate by becoming the Republican’s 41st vote based in large part on the fact that Massachusetts voters were unhappy with Obamacare, one would think that President Obama and the Democrat Party would learn a vital lesson. A look at a dozen or so stories […]

 

NBC’s Viera Scolding Scott Brown on Today Show

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Meridith Viera seemed a bit annoyed that she was interviewing the newly elected Republican Scott Brown instead of Democrat Martha Coakley now that Massachusetts voters made their choice in the Tuesday special election for the open Senate seat there. Viera did her level best to phrase the results of the election in an agenda driven […]

 

Krugman Says Obama Doesn’t Blame Bush Enough?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of the worst writers in political punditry, a man with a little deserved reputation as a thinker and analyst, is New York Times columnist Paul Krugman. Sometimes the things he says are so absurd that it is hard to believe that even he believes what he is writing. Aside from his discreditable insistence that […]

 

Book Review: What Are These Tea Parties About, Anyway?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A new book about the Tea Party movement — and a movement it really is — will soon be hitting the shelves. “A New American Tea Party” penned by John M. O’Hara, one of the many folks that helped bring us some of those protests in early 2009, is a book that hopes that the […]

 

…Yet Not ALL Unions Willing to Bend Over for Obamacare Tax Hike

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Yesterday I posted a story about how the two big public employees unions were looking the other way on Obamacare and helping Obama to pass his socialist take over of our healthcare system even though the plan would hike taxes on their very own members and would devastate their helathcare plans. Well, not all unions […]

 

2009, Our Turn to Be Offended

Posted on by Sharon Soon

Here’s a thought: now that it’s officially post-December 25, it’s amazing how people who have been saying “happy holidays” for the past month, swearing that there are multiple “holidays” this season, magically remember the distinct name of the next upcoming “holiday” and revert back to saying “Happy New Year”. I suppose that out of all […]

 

Chgo Sun-Times Says Healthcare is a Right

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It has come to this. A newspaper in one of America’s biggest cities has so sold out to extremists, left-wing ideology that it has throw logic, facts, and reality to the four winds in order to sell Obama’s socialist healthcare policies. In a recent editorial the Chicago Sun-Times has absurdly determined that healthcare is a […]

 

Where Are You Frum, Anyway?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Canadian David Frum is like the cross-eyed marksman, he can see the target but just can’t ever hit it. The self-styled conservative has been the Old Media’s leading conservative in attacking, well, other conservatives. Naturally his Dec. 25 piece on theweek.com is no exception. Not only does he attack other conservatives, as is his wont, […]

 

New Ad: Lefty Group Calls Obama a Liar

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A lefty Political Action Committee called Bold Progressives PAC is fed up with the political lies of … President Obama. They are chiefly upset at his lie that he never campaigned on the public option part of his socialist healthcare plan. Being good commies, Bold Progressives are a bit ticked off that Obama took a […]

 

Cokie Roberts Proves She is a Liar

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I am finding it increasingly impossible to discuss current politics without pointing out that Democrats and liberals are simply a pack of liars and “journalist” Cokie Roberts fits quite neatly into this category for what she said about the healthcare debate on ABC’s This Week Sunday morning talk show. As Brent Baker of Newsbusters reported […]

 

Govt Healthcare Will Give us ALL Pay Cuts

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Big Labor has, for the most part, fallen all over itself to help its patron President get his Obamacare policies passed in Congress spending millions to do so. If Obamacare should pass many millions will lose their healthcare and will be forced into government healthcare. According to the CBO at least 10 million will lose […]

 

A Message to Senators Landrieu and Reid form the Louisiana Tea Partiers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This past Saturday, hundreds of people gathered in the pouring rain in New Orleans, Louisiana, to tell Senator Harry Reid (D, Nev.) and Senator Mary Landrieu (D, Loius.). As you may know, Senator Reid was supposed to attend a fundraiser in New Orleans, but canceled his plans to attend when he started taking heat for […]

 

Science, Smoking, Healthcare, All Prove Gov’t Can’t be Trusted

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Just sit back and let big daddy government show you the way. The Democrat Party is assuring us that they know better because they have science, educated people, doctors, all that “expertise” in their control and further more they “care” about us all and they want us to know that they’d never do anything to […]

 

Obama Job Summit: Another Manufacturer Opts Out of U.S.A.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

With President Obama carrying on his “jobs summit” this week blaming business for “not hiring enough workers,” it is interesting to see the reaction of at least one major U.S. business to the Obama administration’s actions during this economic downturn. On November 11, David N. Farr, Chairman, CEO and President of Emerson Electric Co., announced […]

 

Senate Approves Motion to Proceed on Obamacare

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

With a 60 to 39 vote, the Senate has passed the motion to proceed to move on with the debate over Obamacare. Again, it is important to note that this is only a vote to begin the floor debate on the bill. It is not a vote to pass Obamacare. In the Washington Examiner, Byron […]

 

Harry Reid Wants to Vote on a Phantom Bill (Dem Dirty Tricks Edition)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Either today or later this week, Senate Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev) wants the Senate to vote on a “motion to proceed” on the Senate’s version of the healthcare bill. That wouldn’t be so bad except for the fact that it has barely been seen by anyone in the Senate. At least not as […]
