Harsh, but fair?

To be honest, I seldom watch the cable news shows anymore because they’re too slow compared to the blogosphere. Usually, these shows mainly consist of the hot story of the day repeated ad nauseum, material the blogosphere covered days earlier, guests spinning and being asked questions primarily designed not to allow them to inform, but […]

Drudge has been running a big splashy story that says, “DEMS HOLD FIRE ON HUCKABEE; SEE ‘EASY KILL’ IN GENERAL ELECTION.” The story goes on to read, Democrat party officials are avoiding any and all criticism of Republican presidential contender Mike Huckabee, insiders reveal. The Democratic National Committee has told staffers to hold all fire, […]

Here are my favorite quotes from Neal Boortz’s book, The Terrible Truth About Liberals, which I recently got around to reading. In a nutshell — here are your differences: Liberals operate from a foundation of emotion and feelings. Conservatives operate from a foundation of logic and thoughts. Liberals view people in terms of their membership […]

The story of the last couple of weeks has been, without a doubt, Mike Huckabee’s dizzyingly fast rise in the race. A few short weeks ago, Huckabee was in 2nd place in Iowa, not in the running in any of the other states, and in 5th place in national polls. Since then, he has pulled […]

If Al Gore deserved a Nobel Peace Prize for boring people with his speeches and putting out shockingly dishonest propaganda about global warming, then Barry Walters certainly deserves to win the award, too. A WEST Australian medical expert wants families to pay a $5000-plus “baby levy” at birth and an annual carbon tax of up […]

For whatever reason, more than a few Liberals who aren’t very religious have a bizarre, paranoid view of Christians that is so out of touch with reality that they make the Truthers look sane. Just to name one example, take a look at Sam Donaldson, who said this on December 9th, “Talk about a Christian […]

“Sen. John McCain and former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani stood alone among the Republican presidential candidates in last night’s Spanish-language debate in calling for some illegal aliens to be granted a path to citizenship. “None of us have been perfect — all of us have been struggling with this for a long time,” Mr. Giuliani […]

“Greens, of course, are energy nihilists, and there is nary an environmental group somewhere that isn’t protesting every type of energy source. For example, the U.S. is the Saudi Arabia of coal, but Senate greens (led by Nancy Pelosi) have banned consideration of coal-to-oil technology (pushed by Barack Obama) to replace oil imports from the […]

The Huffington Post is the world’s largest liberal blog and is generally considered to be even more mainstream than the Daily Kos. Although it may be true that they’re generally not quite as venomous or conspiratorial, the bubbleheaded celebrity crowd has helped produce some particularly vacuous posts this year, some of which you’ll find below. […]

Mike Huckabee has caught a lot of heat for some comments he made back in 1992 about AIDS. Truthfully, I thought the reaction to what Huckabee said has been more than a little overwrought, The Associated Press reported Saturday that as a candidate for the Senate in 1992, Huckabee said in response to a 229-question […]

Yesterday, the GOP candidates — with the exception of Tom Tancredo — participated in a Spanish language debate on Univision. Now, some people may pan them for participating in a Spanish language debate, but I’m not one of them. To the contrary, I believe that we need to take every opportunity to show Hispanics that […]

On Thursday of last week, Mitt finally gave a much anticipated speech on religious freedom and the Mormon religion. Although the reviews of the speech were not universally positive, they were very good and they were everywhere in the blogosphere, on talk radio, and even at the top of the Drudge Report. Even though only […]

Numerous people have noted that religion has played a surprisingly large role in 2008 primaries. Is that because Mike Huckabee is a former pastor? Huckabee certainly has brought up Christian issues on more than a few occasions, but he’s not really the man primarily responsible for putting religious issues front and center in the campaign. […]

This story from the Washington Post clearly proves how today’s objections to waterboarding, particularly from Congressional Democrats, is purely political grandstanding. When briefed on the interrogation techniques used against captured terrorists, the reaction from those in the room “was not just approval, but encouragement.” Even current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was there and “did not […]

My latest Townhall column, 14 Questions I’d Ask Hillary After I Hooked Her Up to a Lie Detector, did really well at Townhall this week. Just behind Coulter and just ahead of Stossel and Boortz. Not bad!

This post is a couple of years old, but it is timeless, and no one who reads this blog has read it — believe me. Toby Katz explains some harsh truths about the “Jewish Christmas”: With Chanuka coming in a few days we can be sure that along with the Chanuka tree and the Chanuka […]

One of their favorite retired Generals, Major General John Batiste, who appeared in an ad for the anti-war Vote Vets website, and who had an op/ed published on the liberal anti-war website Think Progress in August in which he called for the US to “begin a responsible and deliberate redeployment from Iraq,” has apparently changed […]

Can identity politics get any more ridiculous? In trying to establish cred with minorities, civil rights leader Andrew Young says what could be nominated for the most ridiculous quote this electoral season: In a media interview posted online, Young also quipped that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton has her husband behind her, and that […]

I wrote the other day that the Bali climahysteria (or should that be climahypocricy?) conference proves that climahysteria is all bout $$$$$. And, now, for something completely the same, more proof JIMBARAN, Indonesia, Dec 9 (Reuters) – Rich and poor countries failed on Sunday to agree on a plan to open up trade in green […]

Oh, joy, the energy bill has passed the House. It appears to be “policy” disguised as a collection of mandates. On Thursday, just over a year after winning the majority, Democrats in the House of Representatives voted through an energy bill that represents a stark departure from the administration’s approach. It would raise vehicle fuel […]

So now Christmas trees are just . . . holiday trees. What is the point of a “holiday tree,” again, other than to decorate the living room for a few weeks? And why, exactly, do we bother to hang sock laundry by the fireplace? Sometimes I can feel the heart and soul of Christmas slipping […]

Will the growth in households with no landlines and only a cell phone begin to skew poll results in the near future? Some pollsters are concerned: With more American households giving up their old-fashioned land lines and using cellphones for all calls, public opinion researchers are facing a challenge of how to make sure they […]

Well, I saw the Golden Compass. I was a little bit unsure of what to think about this movie going into it. I’d heard about all the controversy surrounding it for the books’ anti-Christian themes, but I’ve never read the books. And I wanted to go into the movie with an open mind. And honestly? […]

The Associated Press dug back through their archives and found some answers Huckabee gave to a questionnaire they sent him when he was seeking a seat in the House in 1992. He said some pretty controversial things about the AIDS issue it turns out. Here’s the three key quotes: “If the federal government is truly […]

Canadian authorities have decided they need to go into the homes of senior citizens with guns. (They know who owns guns because the government spent $2-billion — yes, with a “b” — of our tax dollars to set up a registry of legally owned firearms, in a nation with only a small number of legal […]
