From Gallup’s new poll on public support for the Afghan deployment, “Americans Tilt Against Sending More Troops to Afghanistan“: Americans are more likely to say they would oppose (50%) rather than favor (41%) a possible decision by President Barack Obama to send more U.S. troops to Afghanistan. The possibility that Obama will need to make […]

My latest Talk Radio Watch column at WND has a bunch of FREE audio, video and transcript highlights from Mark Levin and other hosts, plus lots more. Here’s some stuff that happened after my deadline: SNL spoofed Glenn Beck: Rush Limbaugh showed up on Jay Leno and got a good reception: Rush talked about what […]

Charles Johnson, who has launched a jihad against anyone not capitulating to his own ideological supremacism, linked the British blog Harry’s Place the other day. Note this quote there, from a post entitled, “Out of Power, Going Bonkers“: Demoralised by defeat, the moderates appear to have utterly lost control of their movement, which has become […]

You know you’re on the side of political wisdom and integrity when you’ve got Fidel Castro’s approval. This week’s latest words-of-Obama-adulation-by-infamous-America-haters came after the president’s speech on climate change during Tuesday’s United Nations summit: The president of the United States admitted that the developed nations have caused much of the damage and must assume responsibility […]

There is so much about this administration that really baffles me, but this one is among the top eschelon of mind bogglers. Kevin Jennings has been appointed as director of the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools under Obama. Here’s a bit of his bio: In 1997, according to a transcript put together by […]

Just about every slur that you can imagine has been thrown at people who attended tea parties and townhalls this summer. They’ve been called “tea baggers,” “racists,” “thugs,” “Nazis,” “un-American,” & “mobs.” The attendees of these events have been incessantly attacked by the media, grossly insulted by members of Congress, and accused of fomenting violence, […]

Yesterday, there was a poll at RWN that asked the following question: Who would you most favor as GOP nominee in 2012? Sure, it’s a little too early to take the results seriously, but it’s a fun little check to see where people’s heads are at this very early date, 11) Bob Corker: 0% (1) […]

The southern border of America is 1,954 miles long. According to the Border Patrol, it now has “effective control” over only 697 of those miles. Within the last year, 530 aliens from “special interest countries” were caught by our Border Patrol, as were three people “linked to terrorism.” Out of 32 regions the National Drug […]

I realize the Club for Growth has no love for Senator: Bennett in Utah, the problem is, they aren’t in Utah, don’t know: likely alternative, AG Mark Shurtleff the way they know Pat Toomey – and once one digs into the details surrounding Shurtleff and his campaign, a: genuinely troubling image for conservatives begins to emerge. First, it […]

President Obama said the war in Afghanistan was a “war of necessity.”  He told the Veterans of Foreign Wars, "Those who attacked America on 9/11 are plotting to do so again. If left unchecked, the Taliban insurgency will mean an even larger safe haven from which Al Qaeda would plot to kill more Americans." Now […]

Have I mentioned that Rachel Maddow is an idiot? You all need to watch this whole video. All of it. H/T Michelle Moore.

Back in February, interestingly, I thought Meghan McCain had a good point when she argued that “Republicans don’t get the Internet.” Not any more. With Americans witnessing the dramatic impact of Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government, which along with Fox News has been the main outlet breaking the ACORN prostitution scandal, we’re really seeing the power […]

Longtime conservative blogger Baldilocks, a former Pajamas Media staffer, was banished Sunday: from Little Green Footballs,: where Charles Johnson’s: insane jihad against his erstwhile friends and allies has become: one of the most: embarrassing spectacles in the history of the blogosphere. “He’s like a troll with his own website,” as one commenter at Ace of Spades HQ said. This latest […]

Why is the Obama administration destined to fail and be thrown out in four years? This is why and it has nothing to do with race. And when one stops to think about the situation we find ourselves in, it becomes even more troubling. A new Gallup poll shows that the number of people who […]

I kinda broached the possibility in one of my Glenn Beck entries the other day. Could the ACORN scandal bring down the Obama administration? It’s seems like small potatoes, really. ACORN’s under the radar for most folks, but considering the importance of the group in the president’s political ascendancy, yeah, it’s pretty serious. And of […]

I’m not quite sure what to think of it, but this might just be the least radical, leftist-agenda-pushing action I’ve seen thus far from the Obama posse. The Obama administration on Friday urged a U.S. court to dismiss a lawsuit by gay married couples from Massachusetts who say they were unlawfully denied federal marriage benefits. […]

Somebody tell Eugene Robinson: I think we’ve got a clear example of racism, and it’s coming from the White House: In a stunning request, the Obama administration has made it clear to poll-challenged Gov. Paterson that the White House would prefer he not seek election to a full four-year term next year. The “official” line […]

No such thing as intelligent design, you say. No higher power, no Creator, no Builder setting the universe’s Legos one on top of the other to create the perfect world for sustaining life. No great weaver of tapestries, pulling this thread, then that one, setting the stage for human existence. Human prosperity. Human life — […]

Here’s how it works. One: start with one black president. Two: add peaceful (if rowdy) protest. Three: enjoy the widespread appreciation that lively debate can ensue in the post-racial society called Obamaland. Ha! I crack myself up. Number three should read: Racism! Writing in the Washington Post, columnist Eugene Robinson says that, yeah, some anti-Obama […]

Politico: DNC promises ‘rain of hellfire’ The increasingly aggressive Democratic National Committee on Friday launched a new “Call ’Em Out” website targeting prominent Republicans for statements they have made about President Barack Obama’s health reform plans. …DNC spokesman Hari Sevugan said: “The message to opponents of change who would lie or misrepresent the truth should […]

The Astute Bloggers graciously provides the New York Times link, “Irving Kristol, Godfather of Modern Conservatism, Dies at 89.” Also, my good friend Ken Davenport has written his own thoughtful commemoration, “Irving Kristol, 1920-2009.” Ken focuses on how Kristol’s neoconservatism has become the most important critique of modern statist ideologies (and of especially the consequences […]

Good morning, dangerously unhinged wingnuts. As you all marinate in your unearned race, class and gender privileges on this fine Saturday morning, your First Lady is hardly working to make sure all Americans – not just the selfish rich – have equal access to pesticide-free comestibles: Let’s say you’re preparing dinner and you realize with […]

It’s not hard to understand why this news is coming out late afternoon on a Friday. Unemployment 10 percent or above in 14 states and DC. Twenty-seven states see unemployment rise. I’m sure glad the recession is over and the stimulus is working great just as Obama has said. WASHINGTON (AP) – Forty-two states lost […]

You know, ever since last spring, when Glenn Beck aired his comments about “preparing for anarchy in America,” there’s been something extraordinarily accurate about his commentaries on the Obama administration. The Van Jones resignation certainly cemented Beck’s status as the premier commentator on the contemporary right. Indeed, just last week I argued that “Beck has […]

Friend and RedState editor Eric Erickson offers some pretty biting criticism: of Utah Senator Bob Bennett and the Healthy Americans Act (HAA): given word that Bennett may be at the WH tonight. Having some: familiarity with the issue and a friend: close to the Bennett camp, I reached out to try and determine what the deal is if I […]

(Crossposted at my blog.) In response to Amanda Marcotte’s post on the right-wing reaction to health care reform–which had just the right mix of mouth-foaming hysteria and ignorance–I wrote this column for Townhall, which hasn’t gone up on the site yet. Basically, Marcotte made the oh-so-sophisticated argument that “nice” people support socialized medicine and “mean” […]

So, I get an email invite to a conference call on EFCA with Rep. Tom Price (R-GA): I’d very much like to do. Sounds good, right? It did to me, anyway. But what good is a conference call without some well known,: high flying Democrat turned Republican consultant who knows so much about the issues. Sounds good […]

Today in the blogosphere: much is being made of anything approaching a precise:  count of the hundreds of thousands of, if not a million Americans who turned up in Washington, DC on Saturday, September 12th to send their government a message. Yet,: it’s clear from the coverage of as notable an event as the inauguration of America’s […]
