Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

President Obama acts as though he merely sympathizes with the Wall Street occupiers’ “broad-based frustration” about how America’s financial system works, but he’s doing a lot more than sympathizing. He’s fanning their flames. Perhaps we should take a look at what, exactly, Obama is supporting and contrast it with the tea party movement he so […]
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi sometimes sounds as if she has cast aside any attachment to reality. Responding to a bill co-authored by Rep. Joe Pitts, Pennsylvania Republican, that would prevent federal funds from going to pay for abortions under the slowly unraveling health care law critics call “Obamacare,” Pelosi said that if Republicans vote […]
President Obama is embarking on another embarrassing “bus tour of the heartland” wherein he will ride his gigantic, taxpayer-funded million dollar black bus when it’s convenient for press photographers, but board Air Force One and Marine One when it’s most convenient for him. Along the way, he’s promising to deliver folksy speeches to folksy people […]
Did Obama’s medical record czar, Judy Faulkner, hoodwink five members of Congress into pushing her own medical records company as the solution for the problem of electronic medical records for all government contracts? That’s what some wonder as Obama’s search for an electronic medical records solution evolves. In a likely earnest effort to bring jobs […]
There are a few major reasons that this Occupy-Whatever “movement” is as hollow as a Halloween pumpkin. One is that they are employing the sort of rhetoric with their “we are the 99%” claim that they complained about from Tea Partiers and two that some of their spokesmen are not what they claim to be. […]
Some very interesting, and disturbing, information from the Competitive Enterprise Institution’s Christopher Horner, via Watts Up With That? Although this is seedy and unlawful at any time, it also goes in the ‘bad timing’ file. Or it’s good timing, depending on one’s perspective. Just as a brand new book further exposes the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel […]
Beneath the allegedly young idealism are very cobwebbed assumptions about societal permanence. The agitators for “American Autumn” think that such demands are reasonable for no other reason than that they happen to have been born in America, and expectations that no other society in human history has ever expected are just part of their birthright. […]
Shameless, simply shameless. After listening to many wonderful speakers (and some who decided to interject their own political messages) discuss Martin Luther King, Jr., (NM)President Obama couldn’t resist interjecting his own far left politics and pandering (Washington Times) Drawing parallels between civil rights legend Martin Luther King Jr. and his own leadership challenges, President Obama […]
The Occupy Wall Street protesters did have one brilliant idea that set them apart from most, but not all other protesters (Think Cindy Sheehan): They made it a “long term” protest. After their first day of protesting, it looked like a failure. However, when people heard the protest was still going a couple of weeks […]
Napoleon is supposed to have said that the quality he most valued in his generals was luck. In the current race for the Republican presidential nomination, Napoleon’s favorite would clearly be Mitt Romney. One lucky break after another has helped Romney maintain front-runner status or something close to it in polls of Republican primary voters […]
Click the links under each picture for more information. Link: Smitty. It’s like he got his own Mini Me. Seriously. They look exactly alike, and I’m not just talking about the hair. Link: Gateway Pundit. Link: Trog. Link: The Ballot Box. Link: No Runny Eggs. Link: Pundette. For the record, Romney would make a good […]
A small business named Nice Cream found that government wasn’t very nice to its bottom line. In fact, due to its heavy hand, government froze the company into nonexistence. So much for everyone loving ice cream! The other day, while discussing the failures of government unions and their pliant, paid-for, lapdog politicians, one of my […]
No, really, that’s his plan, and he is going to use the rage from the Occupy movement to campaign against Republicans. Then, the same guy who took massive amounts of Wall Street, Big Bank, Big Financial, and Big Corporate money in 2008, voted for bailouts, gave Wall Street, banks, financial institutions, and corporations, will take […]
For movies. I hadn’t heard of: it: before.
“We never stopped listening;: the concerts just got bad.”
Being a geopolitical analyst and forecaster often means having to explain to people sitting in America how and why a single event in Africa, Russia or China will directly impact them either personally or professionally. One such event is the French presidential election set for May 2012, for which the opposition Socialists are selecting their […]
Occupy Wall Street is occupying every pundit’s commentary right now. I’d love to ignore it and focus on something else, but I’m too fascinated by watching the wreckage of civil society mewl and puke in the streets of Manhattan. The Tea Party, a grassroots movement of Americans concerned that the Constitution is being abandoned (and […]
Surely not, though. God loves Wisconsin too much to let that happen. Doesn’t He? Or…could this be evidence that St. Louis is gonna win the NLCS? Oh, right, you don’t know what I’m talking about. Remember Harold Camping? Camping, 88, has scrutinized the Bible for almost 70 years and says he has developed a mathematical […]
The Greater Boston Food Bank intended to have a fundraising event in Boston’s Dewey Square over the weekend of the 14th of October. It was to be called the “Greenway Mobile Food Fest” and was supposed to help raise funds to feed the poor and needy. But due to the tantrums being thrown by the […]
Thanks to Tim Blair for digging this one up (via Tom Nelson) (Digital Journal) Dr James Lovelock FRS (Gaia hypothesis) and Professor Kevin Anderson ( Director, Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, University of Manchester, UK) have recently estimated that only about half a billion people will survive this century due to unaddressed, man-made global […]
Well, not just Uganda, but other African nations, because the target of POTUS’ operation operates in other countries, such as Congo, South Sudan, and the C.A.R. He was nice enough to notify Congress, this time in a letter to Speaker Boehner Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:) For more than two decades, the Lord’s Resistance […]
Probably won’t “blow your mind” but they are: interesting.
Too late for this summer, but maybe useful for: next.
The ever-morphing policy positions of Mitt Romney are sufficiently disturbing on their own. But if it’s true that Romney consulted with Obama’s crazed ‘Science Czar’ John Holdren, he should step out of the GOP race today. Barack Hussein Obama has clotted the executive branch with unaccountable “czars” – unsavory characters too extreme to be confirmed […]
What’s most puzzling about Occupy Wall Street is: a persistent resistance by recent college graduates to acknowledging the cause and effect phenomenon manifested by big government interference in business. When you employ the economic policies of Woodrow Wilson, FDR and Jimmy Carter you’re going to get a lousy economy because you’ve created a climate that’s unfriendly […]
Sheesh, I almost forgot that I promised and open thread every Friday. The only rules are that any copy and paste must include some commentary, and play at no more than an NC-13 level
Apparently, Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky of the Illinois 9th District, a sitting Congresscritter, mind you, decided it was a great idea to march with the Occupy-Whatevers on Thursday. Interestingly, a large contingent of these people sported T-Shits with Che Guevara, Mao Tse-tung, and other communist heroes emblazoned upon them. Guevara, a murderer, coward, and communist, is […]
Nancy Pelosi has a message for you: Republicans want to kill women. Yes, there it is, another fine example of the Democrat “new tone.” All one can say to that is, “Nancy, you ignorant slut.” (If you’ll excuse my channeling an SNL era Dan Aykroyd?) What’s all her hypocritical fury being directed at? The Protect […]
Hey, I’m just using Obama math, since @amandacarpenter was wondering if anyone could put together a count of the arrests (MSNBC) New York City police clashed with Occupy Wall Street protesters and arrested at least four of them after owners of the park being occupied ditched cleanup plans that demonstrators claimed were a pretext to […]
Perhaps Obama shouldn’t have been running his mouth earlier in the day while being campaigner in chief (Politico) President Barack Obama called House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) Thursday to congratulate him for passing three trade agreements – but ended up getting an earful on the jobs debate. According to an unusually detailed account released by […]
