Romney Turns Dems “War On Women” Meme Right Back At Obama

Posted on by William Teach

The Democrats started their little meme of a Republican war on women a few months ago with their Sandra “I want tons of free contraception” Fluke fake Congressional hearing, and have ginned up more outrage since. Though, I’d think women would be a little ticked off that Democrats have essentially been stating that women aren’t […]

Many are saying “you betcha”, starting with Chris Cillizza at the Washington Post That sound you hear? It’s the fat lady singing.

Why Should Republicans Support A Candidate Who Doesn’t Share Their Values?

Posted on by John Hawkins

David Brooks, who’s not a conservative and probably only continues to call himself a Republican so he can hold a job as a David Frum-style dancing monkey, who criticizes “his own side” for the amusement of the Left, is kvetching because a candidate he liked left the Republican Party. Nathan Fletcher was raised in Arkansas, […]

 

Newt Calls Obama’s Trayvon Martin Comments “Disgraceful” And “Appalling”

Posted on by William Teach

When asked, Obama had this to say about Trayvon Martin Well, I’m the head of the executive branch, and the Attorney General reports to me so I’ve got to be careful about my statements to make sure that we’re not impairing any investigation that’s taking place right now.

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 […]

What Now Passes as Today’s “News”

Posted on by Michael Fell

Monday March 12, 2012…Today’s “news” begins with the headline: The Most Aired Political Campaign Ads. A sub-headline reads: Obama’s “Unprecedented” commercial was shown 6,190 times before Super Tuesday. At first, by mentioning campaign ads from multiple candidacies, this article flirts with the idea of integrity. A flirtation which disappointingly dissolves in the face of the […]

Rush Limbaugh Is Not The Problem

The Gettysburg Address Today

Posted on by Michael Fell

A Fitting Tribute To Olympia Snowe

Posted on by John Hawkins

As many of you may have heard, left-of-center moderate Olympia Snowe has finally decided to retire after spending hundreds 33 long years in Congress. Because Snowe is retiring, her seat has gone from being a likely Republican hold in 2012, to a likely Democratic pick-up — although that certainly could change in a hurry depending […]

 

James Inhofe: Climate Realists Have Beaten Warmists On Cap And Trade

Posted on by William Teach

But, to my way of thinking, Realists have to keep the fight up against the Warmists, who will keep attempting to enact their legislation and regulation. I once asked Ed Morrissey, back when he was still at Captain’s Quarters, why he bothered exposing the 9/11 Truthers, since they were basically wackjobs and conspiracy nuts. He […]

Stupid Internet Meme of the Week: Santorum’s ‘Rough’ Handshake With Ron Paul Outrage

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Buzzfeed was the first to indulge it’s inner gossip — well, maybe its outer gossip since that is all that site is; gossip. Anyway, the stupid story of the day is based on the hearty handshake that Rick Santorum gave Ron Paul after Wednesday’s debates. Paul’s fans took offense at the handshake for some idiotic […]

 

Remember The Meme About Santorum Being “Anti-Women”?

Posted on by William Teach

The Politico and the Democrats, but, I repeat myself, thought that the contraception mandate issue was the perfect issue for Democrats, as they could paint Republicans, and Santorum, as “anti-women” (despite marrying one and having three daughters). How’s that working out? (Washington Post) Over the past several weeks, Republicans have watched squeamishly as presidential contender […]

Will Women Vote For Rick Santorum?

That’s the question The Politico is asking Democrats have an unexpected new foil in their effort to label the GOP as hostile to women: Rick Santorum.

Newspapers Defend Their Crony Capitalism: Outdated Monopoly on Public Notices

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Ever wonder why taking out a public notice costs so much money? It shouldn’t be that way. With the demise of print newspapers, it no longer makes sense to require that public notices be published only in newspapers. More people have access to the internet now than subscribe to print newspapers. Yet print newspapers have […]
