Supposedly, Americans average 23 pounds of pizza per year.: 93% of Americans eat pizza at least once a month. There sure are a lot of pizza places opening up near where I live.
Once upon a time, women were considered the “fairer sex,” the “better half.” Stewardesses were talented and beautiful. Wives were softer and gentler. Men fought for their honor. Feminism crushed all of that. It is a testimony to their movement that in today’s post-feminist entertainment media, part of what makes television so corrosive and sour […]
It was a week of risk-taking in the 2012 presidential race. Barack Obama, his job approval languishing in the low 40s, delivered a much heralded speech in Osawatomie, Kan., framing the choice between the parties in class-warfare terms. That’s a risky strategy. Democrats haven’t won a presidential election on class warfare since 1948, when Obama’s […]
Last week, the Senate voted 93-7 to pass S 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act. Congress has passed this Act every year since 1961. The Act sets policy and outlines financial and legal specifications for the U.S. Department of Defense, such as benefits for military personnel and purchase of equipment.: The ACLU, Occupy San Francisco and […]
Back in the early part of this year, Barack Obama called all his friends to the White House in a desperate bid to pick their brains. You see, America doesn’t happen to be gaining jobs. Sure, there was the one jobs report that was kind of awesome because half the country felt so awful about […]
Thomas Walker, lecturer in the intensive English and orientation program at Iowa State University, is disgusted over all this fawning over “the troops.” And so, to vent his disgust, he took to the letters to the editor pages of The Iowa State Daily. What Walker gave us is yet another screed from an extremist, left-winger […]
Have at it. Talk about what you want. Watch out for evil, though
Then again, Liberals are the same people who think that blaming Mankind mostly or solely for warming that followed a typical cycle is “science” (The Politico) Was there science, and not just politics, behind the Obama administration’s decision to stop young teens from getting the morning-after pill without a prescription? Probably not. Will it work […]
Due to consistent political failure and inter-party brinksmanship in Washington, more Americans have become politically active in the last several years. Regardless of: political views, it is undeniable that the conservative TEA Party and the liberal Occupy Wall Street protests are bringing much-needed attention to changing Washington. Pundits and politicians have denigrated and cheered both […]
People who say they’re perfectly willing to secure the border, but only if we also agree to amnesty for the illegals who are here at the same time or people who say they’re perfectly willing to sign onto future spending cuts, but only if we agree to raise taxes at the same time?
Obama should stick with talking about how to campaign, something he knows about, and leave the economic talks to people who are more qualified. Like 4th graders (Washington Examiner) President Obama said that he will delay his vacation and keep Congress in session until the passage of his desired payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits […]
I’m famously not a fan of Mitt Romney and I’ve endorsed Newt Gingrich; so it’s fair to take what I have to say about Ron Paul with a grain of salt. But, let’s set aside whether I’m a fan of Ron Paul or not (I’m not) and discuss how electable he may be. Over at […]
And while I am disappointed, there are more than a few silver linings to doing this work outside the context of a presidential campaign. The process by which we choose our nation’s leader is ridiculous. There is little focus on policy substance and even less on candidates’ governing skills. If you’re not warding off some […]
It was a rough week for the corruptocracy. White House officials better ho-ho-hold on tight because the sleigh ride isn’t going to get any smoother. On Wednesday, disgraced former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, D-Ill., received a 14-year prison sentence for scheming to sell President Barack Obama’s Senate office, along with several other pay-for-play schemes. Blago played […]
In 2007, then-Sen. Barack Obama insisted that the coming presidential primary and general election campaigns “shouldn’t be about making each other look bad, they should be about figuring out how we can all do some good for this precious country of ours. That’s our mission.” “And in this mission,” he continued, “our rivals won’t be […]
President Obama’s much-ballyhooed speech in Osawatomie, Kan., was his best effort to put a happy face on class warfare. Though some were elated, fantasizing that he might be getting his messianic mojo back, even his reliable cheerleaders recognize there’s no substance beneath the hot air rising. Liberals get all dewy-eyed when Obama reverts to idealistic […]
On Tuesday, President Obama went to a small town in Kansas to lay out his basic campaign theme for the coming election: a commitment to “fairness.” In Obama’s America, we all are dependent on the government, closely regulated, heavily taxed … and poor. He boldly proclaims that rugged individualism doesn’t work and neither do tax […]
The current White House occupant: spewed so many lies: during his taxpayer funded December 6th campaign stop in Osawatomie Kansas that: I had to turn: his speech: off before screaming objections to his rubbish filled remarks: destroyed my vocal cords. When: speaking: of Conservative economic policy…and I quote: “But here’s the problem:: It doesn’t work.: It has never worked.: It didn’t work when […]
Jose Antonio Vargas is the perfect example of media bias. He presents himself as both an activist for illegal immigrants and a “journalist.” He’s uniquely suited to this claim in today’s PC world, too, because he is himself an “undocumented American,” as he styles it. And in a new interview he also claims that being […]
Barack Obama, President of the United Deniers of America, is slamming the country again. This time he ways that capitalism, liberty, and American principles have never worked. Speaking in Osawatomie, Kansas, where in 1910 an off-the-rails Teddy Roosevelt laid out a new socialist-inspired dream for America he entitled the “New Nationalism,” Obama had a few […]
It’s genuinely hard to understand how anybody in our own military could be fine with the remains of their brothers-in-arms being dumped in a landfill like so much garbage. The Air Force dumped the incinerated partial remains of at least 274 American troops in a Virginia landfill, far more than the military had acknowledged, before […]
Perhaps if more Warmists spent time where the polar bears live, this wouldn’t have to happen (BBC News) It is an image that is sure to shock many people. An adult polar bear is seen dragging the body of a cub that it has just killed across the Arctic sea ice. Polar bears normally hunt […]
Ever since Operation Fast and Furious came to light, people have been musing that it was simply about creating a situation where the Obama Administration could create more stringent gun control laws. Yesterday, we received a bit of confirmation from one of the only mainstream media reporters bothering to cover this Obama scandal (via Hot […]
All of these quotations are from Roy Baumeister’s outstanding book, Evil: Inside Human Violence and Cruelty . Enjoy! Perpetrators tend to favor minimalist, distancing styles of thought. — Preface Most people who perpetrate evil do not see what they are doing as evil. — P.1 To understand evil, we must set aside the comfortable belief […]
There is a revolution going on America. But it is not part of the Tea Party or the loud Occupy Wall Street protests. Instead, massive new reserves of gas, oil and coal are being discovered almost everywhere in the United States, due to revolutionary methods of exploration and exploitation such as fracking and horizontal drilling. […]
Herman Cain is out. He “suspended” his campaign for the Republican nomination for president this week after a fifth woman made allegations against him. This time, an Atlanta woman claims she had a 13-year-long affair with the former CEO. As with the four other women who made allegations of sexual harassment — two still unidentified […]
Before you newly active Republicans commit to Newt Gingrich as your presidential nominee on the basis of the recent debates, here’s a bit of Newt history you ought to know. I promise you, it’s going to come up if he’s the candidate. The day after the Republicans’ historic takeover of the House of Representatives in […]
In a season in which there is very little “peace on Earth” and even less “good will towards men,” it is a particularly tough time for Jews, who may be finding it more and more difficult to tell who their real friends are. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta fired an unusually harsh salvo across the Israelis […]
In 2008, the Democrats were blessed with two candidates the party’s rank-and-file admired almost as much as the press corps did. Ultimately Barack Obama, the hope-and-change guy, was more popular than Hillary Clinton if for no other reason than that the former first lady came with so much baggage — mostly in the form of […]
Has Barack Obama’s Democratic Party given up on winning the votes of the white working class? Thomas Edsall, the longtime Washington Post reporter now with The Huffington Post, thinks so. Surveying the plans of Democratic strategists, Edsall wrote in The New York Times on Nov. 28 that “all pretense of trying to win a majority […]
