I can’t be the only one disturbed by the video of Qaddafi’s dead bloody body being thrown around and beaten for the camera. As one Lebanese-American journalist and activist I follow on twitter tweeted, @iRevolt: “It’s one thing to feel elated at the ousting, removal, etc. of a dictator; turning death into a corpse-whoring party […]
Well, I’m sure that will be the Joe Biden point of view (Washington Post) Nine days after President Obama’s $447 billion jobs package was blocked in the U.S. Senate, one of the plan’s key components – which would provide $35: billion to states and local governments to hire teachers and first responders – suffered the same […]
The Boston Herald’s story is actually about the Boston Occupiers turning to…… Occupy Boston has turned to the local experts on street survival – the homeless – as members of the leaderless movement prepare to dig in for a long winter in their makeshift tent city on the Rose Kennedy Greenway downtown. The homeless have […]
Question: One issue the OWS people are talking about that actually makes a lot of normal folks turn their head and listen is the growing wealth inequality in America. I don’t blame Wall Street for this phenomenon, but it is a real issue, and mostly due to the fact that people in other nations can […]
Question: Nary a mention of Gilad Shalit? And the 1000-1 prisoner swap…that Israel likely agreed to in order to make a cultural and moral statement between them and Hamas (or they just went insane)? — baoxian Answer: Israel’s hostage swaps are counter-productive. All they’re really doing is rewarding the Palestinians for kidnapping Israelis by releasing […]
Question: First Egypt, now Libya. How many more countries will Obama turn over to the Muslim Brotherhood before people wake up to what he’s doing? — CavalierX Question: Now that Mr. Qadaffi is apparently dead, how much more money do you think the US will throw at the revolutionaries before they realise that they’ve been […]
“What do you think the endgame of the Occupy crowd will be, and when are we likely to see it?” — baoxian Answer: The endgame is that it gets cold and they go inside. I’m only sorta kidding about that. I don’t think they have an endgame in any meaningful sense. The Occupy Movement has […]
Liberalism In 120 Seconds: Occupy Baltimore Is Objectively Pro-Rape
In New York, marchers chanted, “This is what democracy looks like,” but, actually, this isn’t what democracy looks like. This is what freedom of speech looks like. Democracy looks a lot more boring. Democracy requires institutions, elections, political parties, rules, laws, a judiciary, and many unglamorous, time-consuming activities, none of which are nearly as much […]
“I wish [critics of the administration’s jobs bill] had some notion of what it was like to be on the other side of a gun, or [to have] a 200-pound man standing over you, telling you to submit [to rape].” — Vice President Joe Biden, Oct. 18, University of Pennsylvania “… at a time when […]
We have entered a new phase of the endless Occupy Wall Street sleepover. Not working is hard work. After a month of tying up the police, generating mounds of trash, railing against Jews while holding up “Nazi Bankers” signs, grappling with pervs, rapists and thieves in their ranks, communing with avowed communists, and hobnobbing with […]
What are we to think about a president and vice president who blow nearly a trillion dollars in borrowed money, accept no responsibility for it and then traverse the nation trying to convince Americans that if we don’t spend half that much again, people will die from dilapidated bridges and women will be raped because […]
Today is Q&A Friday #109 at Right Wing News. So, if there’s a subject you’ve been wanting me to tackle or an issue you want to hear my opinion on, just ask your question in the comments section. Your question can be on just about anything: politics, ideology, history, blogging, RWN, movies, music, literature, or […]
Networks hungry for viewers know the cheapest way to nab eyeballs is to produce a “reality show” with no stars and often uber-sleazy, supposedly-unscripted-but-in-reality-very-scripted content. But in the rush for the prized 18-49 adult viewers, what about the millions of youngsters, the audience aged 11 to 17, who are also lured into the soup? The […]
Politico unleashed an incredibly misleading smear job on Herman Cain this week by attacking “his” Godfather’s Pizza in a faux taste test in both written and video form. The idea was to see if Herman’s pizza was a good product. Naturally the taste testers hated the pizza. But is Godfather’s Pizza really Herman’s pizza? Of […]
We know that the Occupy Wall Streeters are extremists in nature and far outside the American norm. We know they are communists, they hate capitalism, they are against the U.S. Constitution, American history and character, and believe in all sorts of wacky, fringe stuff. But thanks to Occupy Cleveland, we now see that they are […]
I was going to try and come up with some clever headline… but the fact is that Mitt Romney is simply a liar. This is just a tiny sampling of Mitt’s major flip flops, too. More on Mitt’s lies at Reason.com: “Mitt Romney’s Lying Problem.”
Of course, we’ll be told that these morons are “not representative” of the movement. You know, like all the anti-Semites, anarchists, Nazis, Communists, as well as all the filthy, unkempt squatters, are “not representative” of the movement. (The Politico) Former U.S. presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton are expected to be the subject of […]
Maybe this is what Obama mean by Hope and Change? Or, perhaps, when he was talking about this being the time that the sea rise started to slow it was actually a metaphor for the American standard of living Think life is not as good as it used to be, at least in terms of […]
Putting together a list of the most Googled conservatives is more difficult than you’d think. You have to come up with an initial list of conservatives. The original list was over 150 conservatives long, all of whom were alive. Of course, you’ve also got to decide who’s a conservative and who isn’t. In some cases, […]
From electing Obama, to the Occupy Wall Street protests, to our huge, overweening government, it all stems from the same problem. The California man who lives part of his life as an “adult baby” and collects Social Security disability payments says the federal agency has cleared him of wrongdoing and will continue sending checks. Stanley […]
Last week, protests broke out again in Europe, from Rome to London. The monthlong Occupy Wall Street demonstrations in New York have spread. The current unrest follows this summer’s riots in London and flash mob incidents in U.S. cities. In 2009 and 2010, Tea Parties turned out hundreds of thousands in protests against the Obama […]
At the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, Sen. Barack Obama said, “…There is not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America — there is the United States of America.” Those were welcome and commendable words. Unfortunately, they appear to be only words. Since then, Obama has divided us […]
The Occupy Wall Street folks tell us to blame Wall Street for the nation’s financial troubles. Notice the no-fly zone over President Barack Obama. Where are the anti-President Barack Obama signs or the verbal chants denouncing the President? Imagine the protests/sit-ins/rallies/mass marches on Pennsylvania Avenue — not Wall Street — if after two years of […]
We’ve been hearing a lot about immigration on the campaign trail, most of it based on outdated assumptions and echoing the arguments made when Congress was considering so-called comprehensive immigration reform bills in 2006 and 2007. But up on Capitol Hill, there appears to be progress — bipartisan progress, even — toward changing our immigration […]
Dear Lady and Gentlemen, As you all know, we are living in parlous times, the most economically precarious since the Great Depression and the most militarily threatening since the fall of the Soviet Union. Many of our citizens fear this great country of ours is on the edge of collapse. Desperation stalks the land. Yet […]
The worst thing about Occupy Wall Street is that it’s ruining a good cause: hating Wall Street. Just when opposing Wall Street was gaining momentum, these brain-dead zombies are forcing us to choose between thieving bankers and them. If the Flea Party were really concerned about the greedy “Wall Street 1 Percent,” shifting money around […]
A recent New York Times article revealed that the Pentagon briefly considered engaging in cyberwarfare at the outset of the actions in Libya, but decided against it for a variety of reasons. This reminds us all that as a nation we really need to discuss the use of cyberwarfare. The first question asked must be: […]
As the Occupy Wall Street protesters finish their first month of protests, they seem more confused and disorganized than ever. It is not clear exactly what they are protesting other than big banks and high unemployment. One protester on the Twitter #OccupyPhoenix channel asked a few days ago, “What are we protesting again?” The Occupy […]
New York Magazine decided to brave the unsanitary and squalid conditions of Zuccotti Park and ask questions of the Occupy Wall Street folks. 50 of these supposedly super smart and informed Occupiers …..how smart can one be to go days without bathing and changing clothes while living with people doing the same?…..were asked questions, and, […]
