Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

I just finished reading Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength, and it is an absolutely OUTSTANDING book. Admittedly, I was looking forward to reading it and even asked the publisher for a media copy, but the product was even better than I expected. This book is going to be one that I anticipate still recommending […]
Liberalism In 120 Seconds: Liberals Who Criticize Herman Cain Are Racists
You can demonstrate all you want on Wall Street. The problem is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue! — Herman Cain ‘[Obama’s] never been a part of the black experience in America.’ — Herman Cain I don’t believe racism, in this country t oday, holds anybody back in a big way. Is there some, are there some elements […]
Should we bomb Iran for plotting to blow up a Washington, D.C., restaurant in order to assassinate the Saudi ambassador? Probably not. Should Iran be worried that we might? Absolutely. And yet, within hours of the Justice Department charging elements within the Iranian government (the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard) of scheming to […]
The trash generated by the “Occupy Wall Street” protests keeps piling up. So do the bills. Liberal media outlets claim the anarchic, anti-capitalist movement is more popular than the tea party. But wait until Americans across the country get a full picture of the costs of the aimless occupiers. In New York City, government officials […]
If it’s not narcissism, what explains President Obama’s habit of demanding something against the people’s will, being rejected, refusing to take no for an answer and berating the public he is pretending to represent? We saw it over and over with Obamacare. By now, it’s part of our national lore that he delivered some 54 […]
The Republicans claim that Barack Obama started it. He was the one, they say, who first compared himself to Jimmy Carter. Carter has distinguished himself since leaving the presidency, performing notable acts of charity, writing and winning the Nobel Peace Prize. But politically he has one word emblazoned on his forehead: Loser. Carter was the […]
: Based on allegations that there: was an Iranian plot to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador to the United States,: the current White House occupant and his Attorney General: chose to take: action against Iran.: : Since the alleged Iranian plans violated American and international laws, as well as centuries of: ambassadorial protocol, one can argue that it was important for the administration: to […]
Only days ago Mitt Romney was saying that the Occupy Wall Streeters were dangerous. But, true to his penchant to “grow” in his opinion (“growing” is what the rest of us call flip floping), Romney is now beginning to accept the OWS theme of “the 99%.” The OWSers — I call them the Occupy-Whatevers because […]
When is a national park not a national park? When it is “themed” toward one small segment of the population by a government infected with PCism. That is what U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar did when he advocated recently for “Latino” themed national parks and historical landmarks. One might ask if Salazar is Interior Secretary […]
bill hallowelltheblaze.com Here is a letter from Brookfield Properties, that owns the park that the NY protesters are living in right now, to NYPD chief Ray Kelly. While they support the right of the protesters to protest, the park has become disgusting. In part it says: The conditions at the park have deteriorated to unsanitary […]
We’re dooooooomed (IBT) Imagine a world without chocolate. Chocolate is definitely slated to become a luxurious commodity if steps are not taken to halt the impact of global warming. This has been emphasized in new findings by the International Centre for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT). The CIAT study reveals that if preventive measures are not taken, […]
It’s a real jobs plan, one meant to stimulate the economy and get people back to work, unlike Obama’s one which was a campaign platform that had so many poison pills that even his own party couldn’t pass it in the Democrat controlled Senate (The Politico) President Barack Obama had his American Jobs Act. Now, […]
I haven’t been a fan of David Frum since he left National Review, started his own blog, and decided to make a name for himself by being a professional quisling. Since those on the Left control the mainstream media, they’re able to reward phony conservatives who tell them what they want to hear with plum […]
Aren’t the Occupy Wall Street protests wonderful? They’re sort of like the Tea Party — well, if the Tea Party were largely made up of jobless hippies and anarchists who don’t bathe. Although they’ve only been around since last month, Occupy Wall Street has already provided us with so many memorable moments that they deserve […]
We are in a long war against radical Islamic terrorism. The struggle seems almost similar to the on-again/off-again ordeals of the past — like the French-English Hundred Years War of the 14th and 15th centuries, or the Thirty Years War between Catholics and Protestants in the 17th century. In these kinds of drawn-out conflicts, victory […]
What to do about Herman Cain? This question goes not to the Republican Party, where “establishment” candidates like Mitt Romney privately dismiss Cain as lacking the experience, gravitas and resources to beat President Barack Obama and then to soundly govern the country. Herman Cain is not going to be the GOP nominee. Without a serious […]
The Republican race has turned into “The Wizard of Oz.” Rick Perry wants a brain. Mitt Romney wants a heart. And any number of candidates are Dorothy, realizing there is no place like home and they should have stayed there. Herman Cain is seeking courage. He needs the courage to face the fact he is […]
It was said of Al Smith, a Roman Catholic, that if he won the 1928 presidential election he would take orders from the Vatican and not uphold the Constitution. John F. Kennedy famously confronted that anti-Catholic prejudice in a 1960 speech to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association. Kennedy said in part, “I believe in an […]
From Steve Benen at the Washington Monthly: There’s been at least some discussion this year about the “sabotage” question — whether Republicans are deliberately hurting the country, holding back the economy on purpose, for the express purpose of undermining the Obama presidency. …Given recent events — the debt-ceiling scandal, the GOP-driven downgrade, the Republican rejection […]
Dead. Kaput. Through. Finished. Washed up. Gone-zo. That, I think, is a fair description of the Obama administration’s attempt to build high-speed rail lines across America. It hasn’t failed because of a lack of willingness to pony up money. The Obama Democrats’ February 2009 stimulus package included $8 billion for high-speed rail projects. The Democratic […]
I had every intention of going down to the Occupy Kansas City hippie village and conducting interviews, but the water pump on the Green Monster, aka my 1998 Forest Green Chevrolet Malibu, had different plans and began throwing coolant like Linda Blair throws pea soup. But that’s neither here nor there, and really far to […]
So far, the only major accomplishment of the “Occupy Wall Street” protesters is that it has finally put an end to their previous initiative, “Occupy Our Mothers’ Basements.” Oddly enough for such a respectable-looking group — a mixture of adolescents looking for a cause, public sector union members, drug dealers, criminals, teenage runaways, people who […]
Would you hire people purely out of national loyalty knowing that doing so meant your company would eventually become fiscally insolvent? Corporations, like any business, are in business to make profits. Jobs are the byproduct of profits, not the other way around. Until U.S. corporate tax rates are cut to globally competetive levels, the corporations […]
Last I checked, the Congressional supercommittee was charged with bringing down the national debt through a series of common sense budget cuts over the next decade. Although I’ve been in politics almost ten years, and living in reality slightly longer than that, I still held out hope that somewhere there was a Congressperson appointed to […]
Really? Are you kidding me? In case you aren’t aware. David Dewhurst is running in Texas against Ted Cruz for Kay Bailey Hutchinson’s seat in the Senate. Dewhurst will now tell you that he is totally against the 2009 Obama stimulus, but YouTube says differently. Maybe it’s just me, but I think as a conservative, […]
Until now many of the often-illegal antics perpetuated by several individual Wisconsin-based protesters appeared to be random acts committed by disillusioned agitators. But the MacIver News Service has learned that these acts have been highly orchestrated and perpetuated by an organization whose members are told to deny their involvement in the group. A group, we’ve […]
Another in a long line of explosions and other catastrophic safety failures occurred at the end of September when a natural gas pipeline built and owned by Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) ruptured in Roseville, California. This is just of a piece of the failure of PG&E to ensure public safety, a failure that the […]
No print stories out yet, will link when they are up. An interesting point is that if Holder claims “executive privilege,” that means that he discussed the issue with the President. Meaning he lied to Congress, and that Obama knows about the whole program. Here we go: Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight […]
So says Excitable James Hansen, who makes a ton of money of the climate change hoax as he takes unnecessary fossil fueled flights all over the world to get arrested (I’m sure there is some type of moral turpitude clause in his government contract) Climate sceptics are winning the argument with the public over global […]
