Massive Rally Against ObamaCare in St. Louis

Posted on by Dave Blount

Indicating how little Americans appreciate Obama’s ham-fisted attempt to take over the healthcare industry, a Kill the Bill rally in St. Louis yesterday, expected to draw 600 protesters due to the heavy interest, instead drew well over 2,000. Via Gateway Pundit: Democrats scuttled for cover and watched from the safety of their crevices. Instapundit reports: […]

 

Associated Press Tries to Tie Jim DeMint to the Pentagon Shooter

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

No, really. Not only are members of the media trying to irresponsibly and erroneously tie Joseph Patrick Bedell, a registered Democrat, a Troofer and a total loon, to the “right-wing” in general, but they are now upping the defamation by attempting to libelously imply that the words of Jim DeMint “fed the rage.” Jim. DeMint. […]

 

Tea Party ‘Extremists’ Take Center Stage

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The liberal media’s newest meme is to claim that the tea party movement is made up exclusively of John Birchers, militia types, racists, and “birthers.” Politico, for instance, had an extensive story about how legitimate conservatives are coming to realize that they’ll have to conduct a Buckley styled purge of the extremists if they expect […]

 

Why Rick Perry Won: Thoughts From A Texan

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Over at the New Ledger, Ben Domenech interviews Rick Perry and muses over Perry’s success. He says: It’s a funny thing how political predictions work. When Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison declared her candidacy for the governorship of Texas, few would’ve bet against her – popular, moderate, and established, the ex-cheerleader who loves the cameras seemed […]

 

Um, MSNBC is *Totally* Losing It: Host Screeching About Racists and Nazis

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I’m not really sure who this Dylan Ratigan is and I suspect that maybe 3 people – tops – watch his show. However, his behavior, whilst interviewing Mark Williams about Tea Parties, is indicative of how desperate MSNBC and many on the far left have become. Just keep screeching “you want to kill black people. […]

 

Multiplicity II, Starring Janeane Garofalo As Andie MacDowell

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

During the Bush #43 administration, the left really went to town with their practice of stealing pages from the conservative playbook that they had preceding years. But much like the cloning machine in Michael Keaton’s “Multiplicity”, the copy of a copy of a copy tended to lose more than a little crispness once it had been cloned. Here’s a brief, and very likely incomplete recap

 

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 […]

The Mount Vernon Statement, A Poor Man’s Manifesto… VERY Poor

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A group made up of some of the biggest names in contemporary conservatism got together a few days ago and crafted what they are calling the “Mount Vernon Statement,” a manifesto of sorts meant to give direction to today’s conservative movement. Put succinctly, it fails to fill the bill. Taken as a whole this statement […]

 

IRS Plane Attacker Part of ‘Right Wing,’ Christmas Bomber Just a ‘Lone Wolf’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

No clearer difference can be seen in how the Old Media and its left-wing compatriots treat mass killers, terrorists and nutjobs than the way Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab and Joe Stack have been portrayed by the Old Media and the left. Abdulmutallab, the jihadi Christmas Bomber, was treated as an aberration unconnected with any larger group […]

“Conformo-Radicalism:” Strike A Pose, There’s Nothing To It

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

The politics of rebellion for its own sake in America has morphed considerably over the years. In his latest column, Mark Steyn describes the current utilitarian pose for the masses as “conformo-radical”, but to understand how it got there, let’s set the Wayback Machine for almost a century ago, when the first round of American “progressives” walked the earth.

 

Some Letters Beating Me Up Over My Tea Party Articles

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Well I’ve now written six — this makes seven — articles criticizing certain failures of the Tea Party movement thus far. They are all meant to be constructive criticisms, though, not dismissive nor derogatory of them. It’s measured introspection I employ in each of these articles. No name calling, no laughing, no hate. There is […]

HuffPost Makes Sarah Seem Like a Genius

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Being a liberal is like being Hitler, murderer of over six million human beings, were he to have tsk tsked Pol Pot for being so evil as to have murdered three million Cambodians. There is no sense of shame with a liberal. They have no sense whatsoever that anything they’ve ever done should temper their […]

Illinois Shows Limitations of Tea Party Movement

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Tea Party folks keep getting mad at me for saying that in the end they might prove ineffective in races at levels higher than local because they aren’t organized enough. They puff up their chests proudly proclaiming that they intend to resist being organized and they claim that being organized is precisely what they […]

Crowe (R, Slidell) is introducing a bill for the 2010 legislative session in Baton Rouge that would make Obamacare illegal if it violates state laws, effectively making Obamacare null and void in the Pelican State.

Old GOP Doesn’t ‘Get’ Tea Parties

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Neil Cavuto of Fox News had a visit with former Vice President Dan Qualyle on Jan 13.

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 […]

The Anti-War Rallies Of The Bush Years In 20 Pics

Posted on by John Hawkins

It has been enlightening to see how differently the anti-war rallies and Tea Parties have been covered by the mainstream media. The anti-war rallies were given prominent coverage and the radical sentiment was hidden away from the public. On the other hand, positive news about the Tea Parties is buried by the MSM and the […]

 

Crain’s Chicago: Earring Wearing ‘Journo’ Attacks ‘Tea-Baggers’ and Conservatives

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Crain’s Chicago Business has just gotten into the business of indulging in foul, sexually charged name calling, apparently. Yes, you can mark Crain’s Chicago Business as only the latest news outlet to decide it’s funny to call conservatives “tea-baggers.” It’s a name that lefties have been tagging the movement with all winter, one derived from […]

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 […]
