It irritates members of both groups when I note the similarities of the tea party movement that swept the nation in the 2010 election and the peace movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. But they are similar. Both movements represent the surge in political activity by hundreds of thousands, even millions, of previously […]
Because the longer they stay in effect, the better they’ll work. Earlier this week, I wrote about a survey which, according to Wisconsin’s educracy, concluded that Governor Walker’s reforms are destroying public education in Wisconsin. Governor Walker responded: um, you better take a closer look at your own numbers, guys. And now, a small update. […]

Rob Port over at Say Anything references a Huffington Post article which claims “Zuccotti Park Day 54: No Smell Of Urine Or Feces” To which Rob adds If you’re defending whether or not you smell like poop, you’re losing. I find it interesting that Michael Woods went down to Zuccotti Park and smelled around.
I like metaphors, which is why when I caught sight of someone using a rifle metaphor to describe government, I lost no time in linking to it. I recall back when this anxious nation was first pondering Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, otherwise known as “Stimulus,” I used a metaphor to explain why it […]
We still do not know what “middle age” is, for a blog. We know we’ve been around long enough to see some respectable compatriots clock-out, in the sense that they decided blogging was not for them. We notice that, among the ones who are left, many are doing it the way we’re doing it, with […]
I disagree with our current President on a number of things, on that much I am sure, but I have some uncertainties about His mental stability when I read about situations like this: The White House on Friday rejected House Republicans’ subpoena for all internal communications related to the $535 million Solyndra loan guarantee, instead […]
From blogger friend Phil. Update: This, too, is pretty good. Got it from Ace of Spades’ “wall” over on Hello Kitty of Bloggin’. Cross-posted at House of Eratosthenes and Washington Rebel.
So between twenty and forty years ago we tried out this social protocol that never made any sense; it said, if a female got all p*ssed off at you in the office, for any reason whatsoever, you were gone. Yeah yeah, supposedly if she was a nutcase and just made up lies about you, the […]
She writes in The Blaze. In an ironic twist of fate, the owners of pair of San Diego coffee and hot dog carts – who initially provided free food and beverage to Occupy protesters — had to shut down after demonstrators turned violent, splattering their kiosks with blood and urine. CBS reports that Occupiers stole […]
On the 94th anniversary of the Russian Revolution (November 7) Leon Weinstein, an ex-Soviet, visits Occupy LA to videotape & report to his Russian friends if Americans started their own Socialist Revolution.
Warning, here you will see me praise President Barack Obama. Last week the President issued a directive for his various agencies to cut down department spending and one of those ways he targeted to achieve that was to cut out “swag” — items such as coffee mugs, pens, or other items with department logos that […]
Things that make you go “hmmmm.” A northwest suburban man says he needs to clear the air after coming to the support of his fiancee, who accuses GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain of making a sexual play for her. For starters, Sharon Bialek isn’t his fiancee, said Mark Harwood in an exclusive interview on Wednesday […]
Did you use paper towels or a hot air dryer? Then man induced global warming (cooling, snow, no snow, etc) is all your fault (via Tom Nelson) Paper towels least green way of drying hands, study finds That’s funny, because the more CO2 there is, the more plantlife thrives. Sounds kinda “green” to me Scientists […]
Take this report with a grain of salt, because there is no hard proof provided in any of the multiple articles I perused (Reuters) Portland police warned on Friday that anti-Wall Street protesters in the city were fashioning makeshift weapons with wood and nails, in advance of a planned move by authorities to clear their […]
Well, here we are we conservative bloggers gathered together at Blogcon 2011 (sponsored by Freedom Works) in downtown Denver, Colorado and what do we find? You guessed it, the Occupy-Whatevers, ever present Guy Fawkes masks in hand, came to disrupt our little conference. Just after 3PM the Occupiers tried to Occupy Blogcon yelling out epithets […]
The Denver Occupy movement was supposed to show up at 5:00 for Freedomworks Blog Con in Denver. They actually showed up at 2:00 — smart, well — for socialists. About 15 scruffy looking protesters arrived in the lobby with, as far as I can tell, no intention other than disrupting the conference. They succeeded — […]
Barack Obama is so utterly corrupt, hopelessly incompetent, shamefully cynical, and habitually dishonest that you could make a case that he’s the single worst President in American history. With the possible exception of his fellow Democrat James Buchanan, who helped set the stage for the Civil War with his mediocre, wrongheaded leadership, never has such […]
It has become all too easy today to receive government assistance. Half of all babies born in the U.S. today receive food assistance, and half of all children live in a home that will use food assistance at some point during their childhood.: 40 percent: of the population in Washington, D.C. is on welfare. Between 2000 and […]
America is a singularly different nation where it concerns our military veterans. We love them. We even have a national holiday to honor them. This is not so in most of the rest of the world. Elsewhere military veterans are not so loved as they are here. Is that because the United States is the […]
Last week 16 dirty New York cops went on trial for all sorts of criminal behavior. From dealing drugs, to assault and grand larceny, and “unrelated corruption,” these cops are proving to be some very crooked characters. But fellow officers don’t care about that. They have ginned themselves up to act like the punks and […]
The only rules of Open Thread are there are no rules, except no cut and pastes with no added commentary
Elizabeth Wydra engages in a bit of fantasy over at The Politico, hoping against hope that the voices on the right will be shut down Of all the possible outcomes being tossed around as the Affordable Care Act litigation heads for Supreme Court consideration, one is usually overlooked: If the court upholds the act’s constitutionality […]
Just like during the Tea Party rallies….no? Funny, the media tended to call the Tea Party violent because people were bringing guns, in complete obeyence of the law, to the rallies. Yet, no one was shot during the rallies. We also didn’t have people pooping on cop cars, either (NY Post*) A young man was […]
The bipartisan debt panel to nowhere is exactly where K Street lobbyists want it to be: hopelessly deadlocked. A November 23 deadline for agreement on $1.2 trillion in budget savings is looming, but no real reductions in the size, scope or spending of government are on the table. Instead, we are witnessing another obscene special-interest […]
“Of course we’re going to riot,” Paul Howard, a 24 year-old aerospace engineering student at Penn State University, told The New York Times. “What do they expect when they tell us at 10 o’clock that they fired our football coach?” The coach in question, as we all know, is Joe Paterno, the decades-long patriarch of […]
Today’s liberals would have you believe they occupy the moral high ground on every political and cultural issue. But have you ever taken inventory of their double standards? The left’s inconsistency in applying their principles based on the party affiliation of those they’re judging, gives fuller meaning to the concept of moral relativism. The only […]
In Hollywood, the only truly serious sexual disease is virginity. It’s a dire and embarrassing condition, desperately in need of elimination. Teenagers that still have “it” are woefully immature. They might as well consider themselves to be walking the school hallways in diapers. Along comes Fox Entertainment to enlighten us. Get ready. It’s sick. Fox’s […]
I’m in Denver, Colorado right now attending Freedomworks Blogcon 2011. Although the show will, of course, go on, posts from me will be sporadic until I return Monday with a massive picture post from the event. Have a good one!
It’s no secret that I do not like Rick Perry as a candidate and politician. I do not trust him. He isn’t that likeable to me. Looking at his record, he appears to be another in a long line of Big Government Republicans. I did not like how nasty the primaries became the minute he […]
