So That’s What Community Organizers Do

If you’ve ever wondered what the acronym ACORN stands for, it stands for “Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now”. And, as you might imagine, it is an organization of and for community organizers. As we learned when we took a peek at the original bailout bill put forward by Barney Franks and Chris Dodd, […]

 

BHO’s First Name Explained

Obama’s exotic name has a special appeal for his supporters. Aside from his skin color and the astonishing fanaticism of the left-wing militants who make up his inner circle, he has no other characteristics that would compensate for his conspicuous lack of qualifications. Obama sounds like Osama; liberals themselves seem to be the most likely […]

The RightBlogs’ Slate: Lou Barletta Deserves Your Support

I’d like to take a moment to encourage you to give money to Lou Barletta. Barletta is a conservative who’s beating Democratic congressman Paul Kanjorski in a Democratic district primarily on the issue of illegal immigration. Barletta is no Johnny-come-lately on that issue either. Here’s an excerpt from a WAPO article on Barletta’s efforts from […]

 




A Short Debate Analysis Of The 2nd McCain Vs. Obama Debate.

First off, I have no complaints about Brokaw as a moderator — besides his incessant carping about the candidates going overtime. He has continued a surprising trend: pretty good moderators for all the debates. Unfortunately, this debate was very similar to the first debate. On foreign policy, McCain sounds much more confident, knowledgable, and compelling […]

 

Liveblogging The Presidential Debate

Well, I’m tired of this whole election season because it started two years ago. Tired. Of. It. I need booze, but I’m afraid if I drink one drop I’ll keel over. Don’t worry, hearing the lies being spouted will get the adrenalin going. Here’s the guys also liveblogging: My favorite (besides me, of course) Ann […]

 


Fascistic Obama Video Was Your Tax Dollar at Work

Since Obama hasn’t yet undergone the technical requirement of getting elected, his demented acolytes can still get in trouble for crossing every imaginable line to brainwash on his behalf. Remember this video? An update: A middle school teacher in Missouri was suspended Monday for putting a video on YouTube of his students chanting lines from […]

 


How McCain Can Sell Economic Pain–Is There Pain?

During the Palin-Biden debate, I remember thinking about how Palin talked about the economy–telling people that everyone will have to take responsibility and change behavior and that it will be tough for a while but that things will get better because Americans are resilient. Is there any more that someone can promise? Eliminating capital gains […]

 

Obama Funny Business

Bit by bit, the slime from Obama’s Chicago days seeps to the surface, despite the media’s lack of interest: As a state senator, Democrat Barack Obama awarded $75,000 in government grants to a Chicago social service organization led by a rabbi who is also his wife’s cousin, records show. In 1999, Obama arranged for $50,000 […]

 


Enjoying Being Played

One of the most amusing things about the Clinton-Obama primary season was watching Bill-n-Hill’s outrage at the upstart Obama besting them at their own say-anything game. And, like the Clinton’s of yore, it worked for Obama. Obama played dirty and any hit back was protested with pained charges of racism. Obama is doing the same […]

 

Ok, Not To Depress You, But…

Here are the latest battleground state poll numbers for McCain. I don’t want to depress you, but the stats are extremely grim given the amount of time we have left before the election, That’s right. Obama is up in Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Missouri, and Virginia — among others. You may be wondering how many […]

 



I Have 4 Words For You: “We Can’t Afford It.”

For years, conservatives have been talking about the potential consequences of out-of-control spending — and guess what? The consequences are here. The markets are plunging, we’re probably already in a recession, and we may be genuinely headed towards a financial crisis of global proportions. And this crisis? It isn’t merely another turn of the wheel […]

Watch While Dems Try To Blame Financial Mess On Deregulation (and Republicans)

The Heritage Foundation’s “Morning Bell” points me to something Sebastian Mallaby said today in the WaPo: [B]laming deregulation for the financial mess is misguided. But it is dangerous, too, because one of the big challenges for the next president will be to defend markets against the inevitable backlash that follows this crisis. Even before finance […]

 

AP: It’s Racist to Mention Obama’s Terrorist Ties

The media’s attempt to install an unqualified ultra-left radical in the White House has entered the Twilight Zone with the alarmingly powerful AP’s attempt to smear as racist anyone who objects to Obama’s close association with anti-American terrorists. Obama is a protégé of unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers, who introduced him to the Chicago […]

 

Americans Cut Back On Spending, But Don’t Worry, Salvation Is Nigh–UPDATED

The New York Times reports the cutback in consumer spending: When the final tally is in, consumer spending for the quarter just ended will almost certainly shrink, the first quarterly decline in nearly two decades. Many economists, who began the third quarter expecting modest growth, now believe the cutbacks are so severe that the overall […]

 

Al Gore Continues to Spew Climate Lies

Al Gore tells lies about the climate as fast as they can be debunked. Now he wants us to believe that nonexistent global warming is causing more powerful tornadoes and floods. Proclaims the Goracle: Yes, we’ve always had tornadoes in Iowa and in Tennessee. But they’re coming more frequently and they’re stronger. Via Watts Up […]

 

Senate Wants To Empower Parent Censorship

Found via Slashdot, Matt Lasar reports: The United States Senate has unanimously passed a bill that requires the Federal Communications Commission to explore what “advanced blocking technologies” are available to parents to help filter out “indecent or objectionable programming.” The “Child Safe Viewing Act” (S. 602) was sponsored by Senator Mark Pryor, Democrat of Arkansas.

Analysis Of The Senate Races: One Month Out.

Currently, there are 49 Democrats, 49 Republicans, and 2 Independents who caucus with the Dems in the Senate. That means the Dems need 9 more seats to get to 60, which would allow them to shut down any Republican filibuster attempts at will. At the moment, the situation is particularly precarious for the GOP. McCain […]

 

Tom McClintock Deserves Your Support

Folks, I’d like to take a moment to encourage you to chip in a few bucks to Tom McClintock. He’s the only candidate endorsed both by Tom Tancredo’s Team America PAC and the Club for Growth, so, as you’d imagine — this is a guy you can trust on illegal immigration and on issues of […]
