Did you hear about this one Thursday? While you were distracted by the health bloviations, Andy McCarthy found out what the Democrats tried to slip into an intelligence bill The Obama Democrats have outdone themselves.

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 […]

 

A retrospective on the war on Iraq

Posted on by Sister Toldjah

If you read nothing else today, please read David Bellavia’s poignant piece on Iraq: Our Mission is Finally Accomplished… Anyone Care? It’s mostly directed at the doubters and naysayers, those who didn’t believe the US could and would win there, but it’s also an important read for those of us stateside who never gave up […]

 

DOJ Clears Bush Lawyers On Torture, Left Apoplectic

Posted on by William Teach

I was going to use the CNN article I ran across last night, based on the Friday night doc dump, but, hey, let’s go with the Washington Post one linked through Memeorandum, since there are plenty of links to lefties in their typical unhinged modes (there is also a NY Times and NPR article cited) […]

 

Obama’s New Name For Iraq War

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The indispensible Jake Tapper of ABC News is reporting that the Obama Administration is about to rename the Iraq war from “Operation Iraqi Freedom” to “Operation New Dawn.” Gates writes that by changing the name at the same time as the change of mission — the scheduled withdrawal of U.S. combat troops — the US […]

 

In Malaysia, Men And Women Caned For Sex Out Of Wedlock

Posted on by William Teach

One would hope that this story would be an eye-opener to all those liberals and dhimmis who think we can actually have a rational conversation and mutual respect with those who are pushing the radical Islamic viewpoint. Sadly, when it comes to human rights and women’s rights in hard line Muslim countries, all these left […]

 

Liz Cheney: Biden Has Famously Tenuous Relationship With Reality

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I had the great privilege of meeting Liz Cheney and hearing her speak at the Red State convention in Atlanta this past August. She’s surprisingly tiny, but, in that small package, is an incredible mind and a hell of a backbone. I adore her and am so glad to see she is becoming an increasingly […]

 

National Security Deputy Sucks Up to Pro-Terrorist Imam

Posted on by Dave Blount

If only believing that a 20% recidivism rate for the terrorist maniacs whirling through the revolving door at Club Gitmo isn’t bad were the only moonbattery recently served up by Obama’s national security deputy John Brennan. While duckspeaking last week before Islamic law students at New York University, Brennan welcomed a question from Omar Shahin, […]

 

Cheney to O’Biden: Before You Take Credit for Iraq, Thank Bush

Posted on by Sister Toldjah

Obama To Become Engaged On KSM Trial Location

Posted on by William Teach

Apparently, when a Democrat is president, the buck doesn’t actually stop at his desk, unless he wants it to, per the media President Obama is planning to insert himself into the debate about where to try the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, three administration officials said Thursday, signaling a recognition that the […]

 

Amnesty Inat’l Am Nasty for Supporting Taleban

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If it’s anti-west, anti-British, Anti-American, Anti-Israeli… well, be sure that Amnesty International supports it. Here’s another bit of proof for that bromide with AmNasty International’s suspension of human rights specialist Gita Sahgal. Why was Sahgal removed from her AI position? Because she criticized AI for supporting Moazzam Begg, Britain’s biggest supporter of al Qaeda, the […]

 

Where’s the Outrage: 1 Year Later, Gitmo Not Closed

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of the first things that Barack Obama did after being swept into office on the wings of “hopenchange” was to sign an executive order that would close the terrorist detainee facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. President Obama gave a one-year deadline after which he triumphantly informed us the facility would be closed. Well, we […]

 

George Moonbat Issues Fatwa Against Tony Blair

Posted on by Dave Blount

Even otherwise liberal Tony Blair has one redeeming quality: he stood with civilization against the genocidal socialist dictator Saddam Hussein and his progressive fellow travelers. That’s why George Monbiot — whose name may have given us the word moonbat — has launched a website called Arrest Blair, where he calls upon his fellow kooks to […]

What Will Be In Osama Bin Laden’s Next Tape? 10 Possibilities.

Posted on by John Hawkins

For years now, liberals have been saying things that Osama Bin Laden would agree with and now, he’s returning the favor by talking about one of the issues near and dear to their heart: Global Warming.

Man Busted With Lots Of Weapons In NJ, M, I, And T Words Missing

Posted on by William Teach

I wonder if this is causing any concern among those folks tasked with keeping an eye on Islam, Muslims, and terrorism? Somerset County investigators seized a cache of weapons including a grenade launcher and hundreds of rounds of ammunition today from the Branchburg motel room of a Virginia man, who also had maps of a […]

 

The Revolutions Finally Got Televised

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

While some of the music and (especially) the sound effects chosen by Glenn Beck and his production crew are bit melodramatic, the video from his “Revolutionary Holocaust” segment from Friday night is a must-watch program, placing Hitler’s National Socialism, and International Communism in its various forms — and the European intellectuals of the early 20th century who championed both forms of barbarism into context.

 

Left-Wing Prof Uses State Funded University To Launch Attack on U.S.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Every once in a while I like to blow off some steam and deliver a good rant. So get ready for my rant du jour… It’s like a bad parody of the worst propensity of the American professoriate to be, well, as un-American as one can get. But here we have another prosaic example of […]

 

TSA Candidate Thinks Terrorism Is Sort Of Important, And Our Fault

Posted on by William Teach

Good think Obama has nominated someone who thinks terrorism merits some slight importance Erroll Southers, President Obama’s nominee to head the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), said the war on terror should be given “some parity” with other national priorities such as global warming, education, and the economy. In the online interview (from 2008), Southers was […]

 

Obama Bringing More Terrorists To US For Civilian Trials?

Posted on by William Teach

Somebody has some hope these days, namely, those terrorists sitting around at Club Gitmo. They all know that a civilian trial will afford them the opportunity to rail against America (and have the far left agree with all their assertions), as well as the chance to be found not guilty or let off on a […]

 

Rudy Flub Brings Out Vultures

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For several days now the Old Media has been indulging in a steady attack on former Mayor Rudy Giuliani that tends to misdirect readers away from his criticism of President Obama. First by making what Giuliani said of Obama seem more adulatory than it was and second by focusing on a rather unexceptional remark that […]

 

Britain Bans Islamist Groups, Finally Catching A Clue?

Posted on by William Teach

For years, Britain has allowed an ever growing population of Muslims, including illegals, who tend to gravitate to radical Islam. Britain has tolerated these radical Muslims, has tolerated those who believe in jihad, terrorism, a worldwide caliphate, and so on. Maybe they are catching a clue that tolerance is not always a good thing The […]

 

The Ultra-Flexible WMD Definition

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

Despite finding saarin, mustard gas, and other chemical weapons, and despite various prison sentences for those who used them in Iraq or those who sold them, apparently, the only thing that would have satisfied the left that Saddam had WMDs would have been discovering a giant SPECTRE-sized Ken Adam-styled laboratory with men in white lab coats hard at work caught in the act. But as Elizabeth Blackney, AKA “Media Lizzy” notes on her Facebook page, my how the definition of WMDs has changed…

 

U.S. Judge Comes to Rescue of Terrorist, Throws Out Confession

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

(I know William already posted the story, but allow me a second to rant…) Get ready folks because this is the world of terrorist coddling that Barack Obama is setting up for us from now on. A left-wing, multicultural-loving, half-wit federal judge has sided with those who would kill us all by throwing out most […]

 

Judge Tosses Most Evidence Against Gitmo Jihadi Inmate

Posted on by William Teach

This is what happens when you take Islamic terrorists caught and questioned on the battlefield and put them into the U.S. justice system instead of military tribunals (or just hold the scumbags till the end of the conflict) A federal judge has tossed out most of the government’s evidence against a tarrorism detainee on grounds […]
