Slouching Towards Wall Street

Occupy Wall Street is occupying every pundit’s commentary right now. I’d love to ignore it and focus on something else, but I’m too fascinated by watching the wreckage of civil society mewl and puke in the streets of Manhattan. The Tea Party, a grassroots movement of Americans concerned that the Constitution is being abandoned (and […]

 

Occupy Wall Street College Grads Should Sue Their Schools

What’s most puzzling about Occupy Wall Street is: a persistent resistance by recent college graduates to acknowledging the cause and effect phenomenon manifested by big government interference in business. When you employ the economic policies of Woodrow Wilson, FDR and Jimmy Carter you’re going to get a lousy economy because you’ve created a climate that’s unfriendly […]

 

Blame Corporations?

Would you hire people purely out of national loyalty knowing that doing so meant your company would eventually become fiscally insolvent? Corporations, like any business, are in business to make profits. Jobs are the byproduct of profits, not the other way around. Until U.S. corporate tax rates are cut to globally competetive levels, the corporations […]

 

AFL-CIO Prez: Hey, Remember 9/11? Was a Great Union Moment, Right?

In one of the most disgusting examples of the self-absorption of the union mind set, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka decided that his 9/11 memorial would not be much about 9/11, but would instead be just another excuse to say how great unions are and how evil conservatives are. This isn’t just gauche, but insulting, infuriating, […]

 

Rockford Tea Party Calls for Resignation of Teamsters President

After Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa incited violence against Republicans as he introduced President Obama at Monday’s rally in Detroit, at least one organization called for Hoffa to resign over his intemperate and violent rhetoric. The Rockford Tea Party of northern Illinois made the call for Hoffa to resign. Here is what Hoffa’s ignorant rhetoric sounded: […]

 

Newt Gingrich’s Illinois Fundraiser

As I sit down to craft this report I just this moment returned from a fundraiser for former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich held in a small town called Lake Barrington in the western suburbs of Chicago. It was a nice, congenial scene unfortunately held on one of Chicago’s hottest evenings with temperatures reaching […]

 

Freedomworks Is Right: If Mitt Romney Represents The Tea Party, The Tea Party Is Dead

Have you heard about the latest Tea Party controversy? Freedomworks and Tea Party Express were doing a nationwide Tea Party bus tour together. Unfortunately, the whole shooting match came unglued over Orrin Hatch and more significantly, Mitt Romney. FreedomWorks, a national Tea Party group that has long targeted former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R), will […]

 

Tea Party Counterprotest Fizzles in Napa

The maniacal racist demagogues of the Congressional Black Caucus aren’t the only enemies the Tea Party has to contend with. Last Saturday the Green Party declared its own war in northern California. Zombie reports: The catalyst that triggered this political firefight was the arrival in Napa of the Tea Party Express buses; Saturday, August 27 […]

 

GOP Electile Dysfunction

Debates and Straw poles! As Primary party time approacheth, the recent confab of GOPeabodies sparked some serious reflective belt quizes about the seemingly inherent “Great Satan Come Home” meme. As GsGf’s nat’l security legislative chief and Armed Services and Intelligence committee cat (oh! He got game bay bee!) shares –:  when it comes to a […]

 


Want Proof of How Democrats Would Shut You Up, Tea Partiers?

On MSNBC, John Kerry told us that Tea Party ideas are not “real” ideas, not “factual,” and thinks that the media should stop reporting on anything that smacks of ideas or news coming from Tea Partiers. If this isn’t proof of how Democrats and leftists would use the power of government to quash free political […]

 




Bailouts for Big Business, Bankruptcies for the Middle Class

While the Obama administration has been busy bailing out irresponsible financial institutions and big business, individual homeowners have been left with little relief, with many forced to file for bankruptcy. About the only relief Obama has doled out for the rest of us is the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP).:  Launched in early 2009, it […]

 

AP Tars Tea Party Movement as ‘Grandfathered’ By Ron Paul

In a story by Jay Root for the Associated Press, the news wire service tries to tar the entire Tea Party movement with guilt by association claiming that it was somehow fathered or “grandfathered” by Texas Representative Ron Paul, the cranky uncle of the GOP. The fact is Ron Paul had nothing at all to […]

 

VIDEO: Vile Disgusting Leftists and More New Civility: ‘I Wipe My A** With the American Flag’

The Blaze posted a video (notice how I gave attribution there, Mr. Beck?) that was shot at a Portland, Oregon Tea Party rally at which a gaggle of lefties came out to organize a counter protest. Like always, the lefties were vile, low-born, scum-bags in how they comported themselves and they gave us just one […]

 

New Tea Party and Boehner Alliance Triumphs in Government Shutdown Showdown

Some conservatives and Tea Parties are criticizing the budget deal Republicans agreed to with Democrats and the Obama administration on Friday. Should they be? It averted a government shutdown, extending funding for government through the end of the fiscal year, September 30, 2011. It is the largest spending cut in American history in terms of […]

 

In NJ Redistricting fight the people got hosed

It’s the kind of inside baseball political battle that cures most people’s insomnia — the decennial redrawing of NJ’s legislative districts. But the stakes couldn’t be higher because shifting some lines on a map can have far-reaching consequences for the future of our state. Who’s in, and who’s not; which towns are sliced and diced, […]

 

CAIR Targets Tea Party in Southern California with (Edited) Video

Another masterful propaganda campaign is underway in Southern California, and going nationwide, with a heavily-edited “hate” video.:  It’s : being touted by the Council on American Islamic Relations and all their liberal appeaser wind-baggers, like Huffington Post, as an example of Tea Party bigotry. POPPYCOCK. Here’s what’s REALLY happening:

 

Wisconsin Democrat Fleebaggers violate Senate Rule 23

Yes, Rule 23: Senate Rule 23 : : : Senate Rule 23. Committee not to be absent. Members of a committee, except a conference committee, may not be absent by reason of their appointment during the sitting of the senate, without special leave. [am. 2001 S.Res. 2] emphasis mine I’m a literal type of gal, and “may not” […]

 

Jim DeMint…. A Squish?

David Weigel’s recent Slate piece on Jim DeMint (R, SC) is a perfect example of a gentle leftwing undertone sprinkled into a story like seasoning salt in order to gently spin a story to negatively effect conservatives, or at the very least to artificially heighten tensions in order to make it seem as if conservatives […]

 

The Left’s Lying Liars Trying to Smear Michelle Bachmann’s Tea Party Response

The left’s latest unfair, false, and downright scurrilous attack on Michelle Bachmann focuses on her Tea Party response video aired after President Obama’s State of the Union speech last week. I am a bit late to this story, I realize, but I wanted to get it aired here regardless. The left’s claim is that Michelle […]

 

4 Reasons Why the MSM Botched the Tuscon Massacre, and Why they Owe the Victims and Sarah Palin an Apology

[H/T Toby Toons for the image.] This past week in the wake of the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords by Jared Lee Loughner (that killed six people and wounded nine others–including the congresswoman), the mainstream/liberal media instantly pounced on “the violent rhetoric” by Sarah Palin and the Tea Party as the cause of Loughner’s mad […]

 


UPDATED: Ariz. Shooting Victim Issues Death Threat to Tea Party Chief

UPDATE BELOW…One would think that once you were the collateral damage of an assassination attempt, you’d be much less apt to be issuing death threats of your own to people. Sadly, shooting victim J. Eric Fuller was not so sensitive as one might think his experience would make him. At a townhall meeting Saturday, an […]

 

NH Republican Establishment Working Against Tea Party Candidate?

And so it begins. Now that the 2010 midterms are done and the Tea Party has shown itself to be a real political force, the GOP establishment is making plans to undermine Tea Party power and reassert its own RINO, country club control of the party. It’s happening in New Hampshire, anyway, as it seems […]

 

Nonsensical Attempt to Tie Loughner to Conservatives Is Deliberate Strategy

To the extent Jared Loughner’s psychotic views have any political coherence, they are decidedly left wing. Yet liberals have raised a deafening chorus attempting to blame conservatives for the incomprehensible horrors he inflicted. This may be a reflexive reaction by truly unhinged moonbats like Hanoi Jane Fonda and Clarence Dupnik, who can be counted on […]

 

Hanoi Jane Pins Tucson Shootings on Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Tea Party

Jane Fonda — who traveled to North Vietnam during the war to propagandize against our troops and to pose cheerfully with the sort of anti-aircraft gun used to shoot down our pilots — still hasn’t finished making her contributions to American politics. The tragic events in Tucson Saturday were yet another opportunity for her to […]
