President Obama’s supporters love to call him the “cool” President, a “no drama” guy, and generally like to claim he is unflappable in office. Whatever the truth of that claim, there is one thing for sure: he doesn’t sweat the small stuff. Like following the law. During his four years in office this president has […]
When economic activity is guided by the pursuit of profit, everything is forced to make sense; resources are allocated in the most efficient way possible, like water finding its natural level. When economic activity is guided by government coercion, everything is forced not to make sense; resources are wasted on lunacy like this: A cargo […]
After yet another crummy election cycle, the GOP establishment has finally come out with a plan. Is it fixing our archaic get-out-the-vote program? Doing minority outreach? Registering more Republicans? Freshening up the party’s agenda? Doing a better job of working with the grassroots? No, it’s interfering in primaries. The disastrous 2012 election and embarrassing fiscal […]
Liberal Dropped By Publishing House For Using Racial Slur Against Black Conservative There are very few things that liberals and conservatives agree on, but one of them is that racial slurs are extraordinarily offensive. A Minnesota-based publishing house has dropped one of its authors for calling a black conservative woman an “Aunt Tom” and “ignorant […]
The Journal News, which published the names AND addresses of 33,614 registered gun owners in two NY counties, and wanted information in order to publish more from a third, is all sorts of upset in regards to the response they received. Fortunately, the NY Times is there to provide a sob story in their defense […]
This seems to be the Democrats solution for everything: tax ‘n spend, tax ‘n spend (The Hill) Pushing back against the Republicans’ deficit-reduction strategy, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said this weekend that more tax revenues — not just spending cuts — must be a part of Congress’s effort to rein in deficits. Pelosi […]
Don’t you love how the Left and their step-n-fetch media mavens are trying to make law-abiding gun owners the bad guys? You don’t? Yeah, me neither. From Hollywood’s heavily armed guarded elite to the radical, anti-gun commie rag: Journal News,: peaceful and upright average Joes are being isolated and concentrated on as the bane of America’s existence […]
Sometimes there is so much stupid going on in the world that you have to just stop and take stock of it all. Al Gore sells Current TV to Al Jazeera. The Americans who owned the anti-American network Current TV soon will be replaced as owners by foreigners who operate the anti-American network Al Jazeera. […]
Over the next year, we will probably see much controversy over the implementation of Obamacare. Health insurance is something that almost every adult has some acquaintance with, and there seem to be glitches aplenty in the legislation, much delay in issuing regulations and some possible changes resulting from litigation. We’re likely to see or hear […]
The paper the Guardian has become Britain’s newest champion for a minority of sorts. In a January 3 article, the UK paper has taken up the cause of pedophiles who claim they are just “ordinary members of society” that only need a little understanding. The paper seriously presented pedophiles as but a misunderstood minority that […]
Santa Claus came, and brought me an audio disc of The Art of War by Sun-Tzu. I’d already read some of the transcriptions and various interpretations, but wanted a CD with yet another run-through because when I go to pick up my son & drop him off, it’s several hundreds of miles through the most […]
Of course, as usual, Obama is leading from behind, seeing as how Democrats have already introduced 8 pieces of legislation in the House and Senator Feinstein (D-has gun herself) plans to introduce a big one in the Senate (Washington Post) The White House is weighing a far broader and more comprehensive approach to curbing the […]
I’m not sure whether it’s good news or bad news that half of them are: food-and-drink related.
Economist Michael Rizzo: Yes, so no tax internet shopping harms some local retailers. The solution? Harm the internet retailers too. That’s government in one lesson. Hobble everyone.
During George W. Bush’s presidency, it was a matter of liberal faith that the use of enhanced interrogation techniques on al-Qaida members “undermine our moral authority and do not make us safer,” as Barack Obama once put it. According to Obama, “enhanced interrogation techniques” are wrong, and — no matter what common sense tells you […]
Nancy Pelosi, the Democrat leader of the House of Representatives and former Speaker of the House, is defending a faked photograph released on Thursday showing the “diversity” of the Female members of the Democrat delegation to Congress. The photo featuring “all” the Democrat women of the House standing on the steps outside the Capital building […]
And most look oh-so-reasonable (The Hill) Members of the 113th Congress introduced 10 bills on Thursday relating to gun violence, most of which came from Democrats seeking new restrictions on gun ownership. The flurry of legislative proposals show that members are likely to push the issue in the wake of the December shooting at a […]
Back on December 14th I noted that Hamas linked CAIR was launching a program in Chicago designed to mislead people on what jihad means, with this wonderful quote In contrast, Rehab’s “MyJihad” public-relations campaign portrays jihad as “a concerted and noble effort against injustice, hate, misunderstanding, war, violence, poverty, hunger, abuse or whatever challenge big […]
Sad or funny, you decide. GIRLS Ace: – It’s bad enough when people name a boy Ace. Ace the boy has long bangs and the world’s most punchable face. Ace the girl is stuck with a name that screams out to the world, “Daddy wanted a boy, and he wanted that boy to be a fighter […]
Article argues that at least some Greens are becoming a lot more: reasonable. Good news, if true.
Honorable Mention) Richard Mourdock’s Campaign: After defeating Richard Lugar, he should have been able to easily retain the GOP’s Senate seat in a state that Mitt Romney won by 10 points. He PROBABLY would have pulled it off, too — if, in a display of tone deafness comparable to the Democrats turning Paul Wellstone’s memorial […]
With the possible exception of the New York Times’ editorial board (and the cast of The Jersey Shore), everyone on the planet understood that the United States Government needs to cut spending, increase taxes, or both. Instead, after months of political posturing and hand wringing, the Federal Government has just delivered the exact opposite, a […]
Churchville: VA–The Food and Drug Administration just approved genetically modified salmon, which grow larger and faster than wild salmon. That’s excellent. There are only so many wild fish in the seas, and biotech salmon could help save wild salmon fisheries from crashing.: The world’s fishermen can’t catch more than the 90 million tons for per year […]
A New Hampshire legislator wants her constituents to know that she feels conservatives are the “single biggest threat” her state faces today and she wants to use her powers to legislate to “pass measures that will restrict” the freedoms of Granite State conservatives. In a blog post made last month on the left-wing site Blue […]
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. That is exactly what just happened once again in Washington. The people that created the country’s economic problems are somehow going to fix them with our tax dollars that we can’t account for and without cutting spending? Even […]
Chris Christie has never been a social conservative. He hasn’t even been a loyal conservative. Despite the fact that Mitt Romney considered Chris Christie for his VP slot and gave him a keynote speaking position at the RNC, Christie betrayed Romney by talking up Obama after he did the bare minimum to help the state […]
Higher taxes on the rich have been the holy grail of Barack Obama’s presidency. He spent four years talking about it, ran his reelection campaign on it and was willing to take the nation over the fiscal cliff to get it. Now, he has gotten his wish. Taxes on the wealthy have gone up. 1) […]
