Why does President Barack Obama enjoy a no-fly zone on gay marriage? The Republican presidential contenders, with the exception of libertarian Ron Paul, have never supported gay marriage. Barack Obama, on the other hand, in a span of 16 years, has gone from supporting it, to “undecided,” to opposition, to a position that he currently […]
Where did President Obama go after killing off thousands of Keystone XL pipeline construction and manufacturing jobs? Why, Disney World, of course. Sabotaging work is hard work for Goofy and his pals. _ _And where’d he head after that? Why, up to Manhattan for more high-priced campaign fundraisers charging up to $38,500 per partier. The […]
President Barack Obama should pardon the four Marines who were captured on video as they urinated on three corpses, presumably dead Taliban. After the video went viral last week, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared that the wisecracking troops may have committed war crimes. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta called Afghan President Hamid Karzai to assure […]
“In the Treasury we do not speak of tons of silver. Our unit is the troy ounce.” That was the response from some bureaucrat when Leslie Groves, the man who oversaw the Manhattan Project, sought thousands of tons of silver to be turned into electrical wires. Groves got his silver. Why? Because completing the Manhattan […]
I wish Republican politicians would have faith in the largely conservative electorate and not behave as though they’ll make themselves unelectable unless they pander to Generic Moderate. Who is that guy, anyway? Have you ever met him? Recently, we’ve seen a few examples of the liberal narrative’s rearing its oppressive head and starkly different reactions […]
Late-night comedians historically have relished the opportunity to poke fun at politicians. Sometimes they savage them. In the Obama era, they haven’t been so enthusiastic about any of it. A recent study of political jokes on three late-night shows (Letterman, Leno and Jimmy Fallon) by the Center for Media and Public Affairs found that Barack […]
The 2008 Republican Party presidential primary left many Republicans scratching their heads, wondering how Senator John McCain ended up with the nomination.: One would think that after President George W. Bush nearly destroyed the Republican Party with his government-expanding, big spending ways, Republicans would choose a more Reaganesque conservative.: Yet,: Senator McCain was the least […]
It goes beyond nauseatingly putrid that your once fine magazine has regressed into nothing more than a blatantly obvious propaganda tool of the unconstitutional, anti-American, fringe “progressive” Marxist agenda. On exactly what basis are you so eminently qualified as to make the determination that Patriotic Americans who want our country to follow the original intent […]
Once again Indiana Democrats are playing the fleebagger game. Because they don’t have enough votes in the Indiana Statehouse, Hoosier Democrats are abandoning their rightful duties and fleeing the Capitol over Indiana’s right-to-work bill currently under consideration in Indianapolis. Indiana Senate Bill 269 and House Bill 1001 would make it illegal to require workers in […]
I saw an amazing little commercial the other day. The ad was for a service that delivered your pet’s drugs directly to your door. Now you may wonder, ‘what’s so amazing about that?’ Well consider how incredible this service is when viewed through the lens of how much of the world lives. First off, many […]
When you were a kid, do you ever remember your mother asking you, ‘if your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump off too?’ The point of that question was to illustrate that you didn’t have to do something dumb just because your friends were doing it. When you apply this lesson to US […]
Have you heard of ‘Not In Our Name‘? They’re a group of B and C level celebrities, writers, politicos, & academics who are against the war. Their numbers include Edward Asner, Noam Chomsky, Tom Hayden, Casey Kasem, Edward Said, Susan Sarandon, Gloria Steinem, Oliver Stone, Gore Vidal, & Kurt Vonnegut. The general idea this organization […]
Via Mediate CNN political analyst Paul Steinhauser is reporting that Texas Governor Rick Perry is telling supporters that he will drop his bid for the GOP nomination Thursday afternoon, ahead of the South Carolina debate later Thursday night. Steinhauser said that CNN political reporter Peter Hamby has two sources that say Perry will drop out […]
I think this is important to address because this is a lie that the Democrats are more than happy to spread. Usually I ignore Sheila Jackson Lee because she sees all things through the lens of race. A sad way to go through life, I think. But here she is on the floor of the […]
Mostly, the Times writer, Craig Leisher, learns the pitfalls For our year living in the woods of Maine, I wanted a place where I could see and hear wildlife. Someplace both quiet and remote. In our part of Maine, quiet and remote means off the electrical grid. Our summer rental cabin had no electricity except […]
Rather a surprising editorial from the Washington Post. After discussing the background of Keystone XL and Obama’s decision, we get We almost hope this was a political call because, on the substance, there should be no question. Without the pipeline, Canada would still export its bitumen – with long-term trends in the global market, it’s […]
These complaints are all too typical of the backwards way we deal with too many facts that make people uncomfortable. An in-development Microsoft smart phone app designed to help drivers and pedestrians avoid unsafe neighborhoods is proving controversial among some minority rights groups that find the software potentially discriminatory. The as-of-yet unnamed product is being […]
…anything that might also help business or reduce energy prices. This is the constant contradiction of his presidency. He’s put reams of new regulations into effect, he never stops demonizing business, he’s constantly threatening new taxes, and he’s been going after the energy industry like it insulted his mother while he’s piling on so much […]
My pal Ericka Andersen over at The Sweet Life wrote a post bemoaning the fact she thinks extraordinarily thin is in. I really do HATE that the first row of bodies is the more envied body than the second. There was a time in my life when I thought all I wanted was row 1. […]
Before we look at Canada, let’s first look at how Barack Obama has decided to appease his green socialism supporters by: rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline. Excerpt: The Obama administration rejected the long-delayed: TransCanada: oil sands crude project, a decision welcomed by environmental groups but: blasted: by the domestic energy industry. After delaying the project past the November 2012 election, […]
In Greek mythology, the prophetess Cassandra was doomed both to tell the truth and to be ignored. Our modern version is a bankrupt Greece that we seem to discount. News accounts abound now of impoverished Athens residents scrounging pharmacies for scarce aspirin — as Greece is squeezed to make interest payments to the supposedly euro-pinching […]
A group of conservative evangelical leaders met in Texas last weekend and endorsed a Roman Catholic for president. Given the history of evangelical antipathy toward the theological underpinnings of the Roman Catholic Church, that in itself signals a remarkable evolution (pardon the word), along with a considerable amount of political pragmatism. The blessing of what […]
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — The crowd at the Fox News/Wall Street Journal debate in Myrtle Beach was feisty, with whoops and cheers for Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Rick Perry, though not so much for Ron Paul. But it wasn’t nearly as feisty as the crowd that forced the shutdown of the 1860 […]
Mitt Romney has spent more than 20 years in private enterprise, making thousands of business decisions affecting hundreds of companies that led to more than 100,000 new jobs and billions of dollars for employees and investors. So you can see why the left despises him. Among Romney’s thousands of business decisions, the one I gather […]
I have to say, I am getting a bit sick and tired of this nonsensical lament about how rotten it is that those running for president are “rich” people. Stop it right now, America. The fact is that we’ve never really had a poor man as president so talking about it as if it is […]
This war is about oil just like the Gulf War. Just because the Gulf War was primarily about oil doesn’t mean that every war is about oil. WW1, WW2, Vietnam, & the Korean War certainly weren’t about oil were they? No they weren’t, but Bush and Cheney are oilmen, so this has to be about […]
I received an email yesterday titled “Not In My Name” that read in part… “…People all over the world want peace. What I’d like to ask you is what is your agenda? I love the USA and all the liberties it provides me. I’d like to see it offered to other nations but I am […]
Google “oil job creation” and you will find tons of stories how some states, such as North Dakota, are seeing such an influx of new employees that the housing market cannot keep up. That these new employees have money to spend. Oh, and that there are tons of new employees. And then we get (Global […]
